I'm grabbing a few minutes to post a little. I feel like I haven't been here in ages....I miss y'all so. I've been trying to keep up with things, but there are many unread messages.
Eldersis is going to have that hip replacement surgery on Sept. 23rd. She will have to show up early on that morning with no food or water after midnight, of course. Her medications in a poke (a sack in some areas, teehee). She has opted for re-hab, rather than going straight home. That is so good; I think. She wanted to go straight home, but Medicare won't pay if one goes home, and then decides that they are unable to take care of themselves, even with a little help from others. She wanted to go to Warm Springs for re-hab, but it is too difficult to get in there. I think one has to know somebody.
The gas stations ran out of gas here Friday; it's about one tank of gas from South AL, FL Gulf coast areas to here. I've about 1/2 tank in my car, and I hope that it will carry us for awhile. We have Dr's. appointment tomorrow afternoon, and hopefully won't have to go anywhere until Wednesday's grocery shopping. It isn't very far to any of that, but still, I like to have some gas in case emergency.
DH is getting better, but he still is right near my elbow almost all of the time. He's afraid to be alone, I think. Truthfully, it drives me a little crazy, at times. It's true that we've been one another's shadow for 50 years, but note, I said shadow! When I'm cooking, I turn around and there he is! Of course, I can't write about him when he is here with me.
Shall we all meet at the sink? I have something for everyone, and frankly, need the friendship.

hey ((lottie)) havent been here most of the summer either.its good to see old faces at the sink,and i dont mean that in a literal way.LOL..lord knows that my face is aging along with my body! we have no limits here on gas,but i have noticed a price increase its up to 4 29 overnite! i hope you can make it on what you have. maybe you should shop after the docs appt.that would save running around on wednesday,kill two birds with one stone theory.glad to hear your dh is getting along better and many prayers for eldersis and her upcoming surgery. i think that is a good idea that she chose to go to rehab instead of home.at least she will get the help she needs and if something should happen there are professional people rite there!! hip surgery is not a walk in the park by any means!! poke or sack,she sounds prepared!!
I will join you at the sink tonight.
Hi Lottie, it's so good to be here on the board for a few minutes.
Lottie I thought of you and Eldersis when the rains were coming and hoping that your ok. I hope your sis does well with the hip replacement, the warm springs sounds kinda neat to bad its so far.
I bet you could use a night out on the town, 1/2 tank of gas and all. Our gas is down to 3.45 so thats really good right now. I will join you at the sink for my orange float, I am addicted to them now. I hope that your dh gets better soon, I know he just feels better next to you. So big hugs to you for this day.
