So sorry on the year two of missing Palmer. I was thinking how it will be 2 years in January for us too. :(
I wish you were feeling better. I wish I could lose 11 pounds but not have the stomach problems. Please take care of yourself!!! That is orders from headquarters which is down in the non-basement.:D
((((HUGS))))
Thanks Marie Irene. Stomach is finally settling down some.
The sump pump has been working like crazy. I hope you and your sister Addy are keeping you feet dry down there. I never saw any "Light bugs" this year....did you? I wonder if they've switched to hcl?
Need them ((((HUGS)))) so right back atcha!!! :)
BIG HUGS SUSAN.
tried to make this pretty but my fingers are not working
((((BIG HUGS BACK, ADDY)))
My stomach has settled down. I actually wanted lunch today. And eating it has not upset my applecart.
October 1st is the new day to dread. It will be "just like the other knee surgeries." 3 days in the hospital; 2 weeks with at home PT; then PT out of the home.
I did find out my prothesis is a Level 5. The 1-4 Levels only last 10 - 15 years. Mine, I should be so lucky, will last 20 - 25 years. He could Level 5 because I have great bones. I already knew that. My bone scans are always impressive to those who know how to read them. It's all that buttermilk I drink!! So that's a load off my mid...I thought that was coming up in 3-5 years.
He is NOT making me wait. He is already booked through to April 1 but he told me tell him when I wanted it done and he would do it. If I wanted it done tomorrow, he would do it. I told him we had a vacation planned in two weeks for a week, so how about September 15th. The best offer I got was October 1st and I didn't push it.
As an added bonus ("Come on down Sally Mae!!").....he can convert the left one to a rotating platform which is what the right one is. The right one has been a success from the start. The left one has been a problem from the start.
So that is less than 8 weeks away and that gives me a comfortable amount of time to get "my affairs in order." Paperwork all done, gardening up to snuff, etc.
It's funny-I was going to send you a message this AM asking you to please come along, sitting on my shoulder.....and here you were! You're such a sweetie.
Man am I worn out! Early to bed tonight!
Love you,
Sus
I am always sitting on your shoulder, sweet friend:D:D:D:D
Well, it does not sound toooo bad. We will think positive. You will be fine.
Now, you better keep eating or Mr. Crayfish next door wont be able to try to oogle you when you are in the hot tub, you'll be so darn skinny, he wont find you with his binoculars:D:D:D
And the surf dudes told Sister Marie Irene they like a gal with some meat on her bones:D:D:D
Ummmmmm
MOM, oh MOM
Did Mr Crayfish decide he likes skinny girls and you guys took off?
Did the surfer dudes show up and you partied too hearty?
Did Bob decide he was going to sweep you away?
I sure the heck hope you are not sick in bed.
Did you and Marie Irene go to the mall without telling me?
MOM, OH MOM, are you OK
Oh my dear sweet little Addy. :o I guess forgot to tell you ahead of time and I could not get onto the internet on my ipad while I was away.....for why, I have no idea---it wasn't for lack of trying!:mad:
I went to VA to visit 3 close friends. It was too much to do in the amount of time I had. I also had errands to run over yonder in the big city. My bottom is permanently imprinted with the car seat pattern on it. I am just wiped out. Oh how I wish I had done any one of those things you mentioned! One of those friends is 92 and sometimes I just get feelings that I should go see people, while I can. I've had that feeling with her. She is very healthy. Nothing is expected, but I hadn't seen her in probably two years and while we keep in touch on the phone, it was time to see her smiling face! :D She has moved a little further south so it's about a 4 hour drive, now.....it just makes it a real trip. :(
I got a lot done....a bunch of little odds 'n ends. Stopping in here for this and in there for that. Asking a guy in this store how to do this and ordering sun clips for my glasses.....which I had to leave there and Ryan will have to pickup. We leave for Las V. one week from today. Actually-we'll probably be there by now. Ah yes-We get in at 10:16 Las V time-we'll be all slathered up with suntan lotion and splashing around in the pool!:):D:D
Bailey got groomed earlier this week. She is lucky she has the markings she has. They save her often. Those cute little ash blonde eyebrows. You can't get mad at her when she flashes those at you!!
I just ordered from Wal-Mart a rollator. It is kind of like a walker but it has wheels and a seat. I think if things get markedly worse in LV it might enable me to get around and see more than I would be able to do if I didn't have it. I'm having it shipped to the LV Wal-Mart store. It should be there by the time we get there. We won't have to hassle with it through security on the way out and if we don't like it, we can just return it there. Pretty smart, eh?? :D:D:cool::cool:
I think I need to make another trip to the NJ foot guy before I let them mess up my knee. Left big toe is not happy again. And I don't care what the guy who did this says.....about it being fused and it can't move.....it is indeed making a marked move to the left and encroaching on my #2 toe. Mr. #2 is hot happy about that at all!!:mad::(:mad:
How is Zoe? How is Kudjo? How is your Mom? Most important, how is Addy?
Love,
Sus
You sound great!!!!:D:D:D
LV, huh? Send me a picture of an Elvis impersonator:p:p Always wanted to see one not via TV.:D:D:D
I am still laughing at your generous donation to our vet fund. I cracked up because I did not expect to see that post:D: An unexpected supriseD:D Thank you for making me laugh hysterically;):D:D It felt realy good.
Yes, I think your plan for the rollator is awesome and should work. Good thinking girlfriend:D:D:D:D I hope your trip is wonderful and not too too hot in the weather department.
love and hugs
I love you Gimpy:):):):)
Dont feel bad, you have nothing to feel bad about.:):):):)
Dearest MOM/Susan!!!
Yay!!! You might be all new soon!!!:D It is good you will get the new knee before April--wow, I just couldn't see you waiting and in pain that long. It will be here before you know it!!!
Happy vacation!!! Good thinking on the rollator--it will make the vacation more enjoyable for you....
I think about you guys all the time, but just don't get to the computer--I need an ipad too.
Addy, Mom didn't have time for the mall with me and she didn't want a permanent car seat pattern with more travel time!! :D
Surfer dudes and a party--did I miss something????:eek:
Lots of HUGS!!! ((((()))))
