Bailey and Friends

Happy Labor Day


No laboring allowed:D:D:D:p:p:p:p:p

I hope you are feeling better dear Sus:):):):) What happened with the endscopy appointment? Did you find another doctor?


I'm bringing my mom over for the day. Zoe is doing well too so should be a good day!!!!! The kids may stop by as well so, full house expected. Not sure if we will get any pool time in though.

I hope you have a wonderful day and snuggle and play with Miss Bailey. KoKo and Zoe say woof to her:):):):):):) How's our little girl doing?

Hi Addy-
Bailey is fine except for the residual "biting" which is her side effect from "camp." It seems to be lasting a little longer, this time. I expect when we're gone for 2 weeks next spring, she'll be chomping on us!:D

The endoscopy appt with the nurse was scheduled for tomorrow. They called Friday to remind me of it and I cancelled it. I'm just not going through the hassle of that office again. Tomorrow AM I will call this group of 5 or 6 who are connected to the hospital and whom I've heard recommended before. Hopefully they will get me in quickly.

Odd thing is, I stopped taking one of my medications and things are just a tad better. I was able to eat TWO meals yesterday! 17 lbs and still counting. Someone else was telling me about an older person here who has had a similar case. He's had it for 3 months and they can't figure out what's wrong with him. But that's at least 3rd hand information.

Today will be mostly a desk day. I have 4 weeks to go and I am in countdown mode to prepare for being bedridden for way too long. I've made a whole lot of progress....things that have been on my to do list for years and years! Once I get everything where I am happy with it, I can do stained glass again....or maybe paint......or maybe find out how to use my fancy camera other than on automatic! :o

Better get in that pool........it'll be time to close it up before you know it.

Love,
Sus

Hey Susan,

I got a camera for Christmas and I cant figure out how to change the batteries:D:D:p:p:p After you figure out how to use yours could you figure out mine?

My daughter has been sick for 3 weeks and they cant figure out why either. Oh the miracles of modern medicine:rolleyes::rolleyes:

How long will you be out of commission? Gosh, cant you wait until the middle of winter? Then you would not care so much. Who wants to do ice and snow anyway?;)

I think we close the pool in two weeks before the leaves start falling. We have been having problems with a giant evergreen behind the pool dropping tons of needles into it. They want mucho bucks to cut the dang thing down.:eek::eek: Must be the drought causing stress on the tree. Wish I had a forester for a relative:):):)


have a great night

Hi Addy-
Trees cost way to much to maintain AND way to much to get rid of. I guess artificial is the way to go. :eek::rolleyes:

Knee recovery is the same as before. 3 days in hospital. 2 weeks with PT at home. 6 weeks or so before I can drive........but that will be more like 4 weeks because it's my left leg.....I don't use that one for braking,etc. And then my experience is that it's a good 12 months to get past most of it, but a full 24 mos. to get fully recovered. You're basically walking by cane after two weeks. Under your own power by 6 - 8 weeks. The rest of the healing is for nerves to reconnect and muscles/tendons that are cut through to mend. At least the right knee has been good to me. :cool:

I'm sure glad I have Bob around to keep me straight. I have an appt @12:45 Monday at a Dr. in Wilmington. Earlier this week I asked Bob if he'd like to go along. There is a restaurant in Wilmington that we both really like so we can lunch there. Then today, the cardiologist's office called to confirm my 3:30 appt Monday afternoon. I said....that's right. He said......"Well then, aren't you going to need to be in two places at the same time???" I have to call Wilmington and reschedule that one. The cardiologist is standard pre-op stuff and I'm doing all I can to make sure this goes through as planned.

Meanwhile, the endoscopy office visit is scheduled for 9/26....if there is anything left of me by then. Down 20 lbs. and merrily counting. :):D

Our 38th anniversary is tomorrow. WOW!

Love,
Sus

Happy Anniversary TO YOU and Bob:D:D:D:D

I cant believe I missed it:o:o:o:o:o Granddaughter and daughter have me writing the parents brag sheet for her guidance counselor. I sure know why my daughter did not feel up to it. Took me a dang week:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolle yes::rolleyes:

Oh Sus, I am sorry I missed your special day.:(:(:(:(

Thanks, Addy! We had a very nice day. Kind of slow and easy and then out to dinner at the Italian place nearby. A neighbor came over after that to take pictures, to preserve us for posterity.

The weather here has turned absolutely gorgeous. The house is open for the first time since forever!! It's alreay down to 67 and will drop maybe near 60 tonight.

I'm still on my mission of conquer before surgery. I cleaned up some of the gardening tools...got them ready to ride out the winter. I still have some gardening chores to do, but the mosquitoes chased me inside.

I have cardiologist tomorrow and my rescheduled trip to Wilmington on Friday. Other than that, so far my week is my own....and the weather is supposed to be really nice for another 4 - 5 days. Next on the list is getting back to going to bed at a reasonable hour. I've been staying up later and it really drains me.

What is the brag sheet used for?

Hi to Zoe and Koko and hugs to you, miss. Have a great Monday.

Love,
Sus

Good luck with the cardiologist today:D:D:D:D:D
There cant be anything wrong with your heart, why, it is just filled with such good things that there could not possibly be anything bad in it:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

The brag sheet is used for the counselor to write letters of recommendation to colleges. I cant belive my baby is going off to college next year. She has been a second daughter to me since she was born. We took her every other weekend for years, we took her on vacations with us, our bond is so strong. I am so proud of her.

Okay sleepy head, out of bed and off you go. Knock 'em dead today!!!!!

Oh Mom....Sister Addy is right, for a change :D, there cannot be anything wrong with your so loving heart!!!!:)

Happy Anniversary a few days late!!! I believe Sister Addy's and mine is coming too---remember the double wedding on September 21st with a few years in between each of us? :D:D:D

Sister Addy and I are with you on your appts. We are riding on your shoulders hidden in the sweater.:p

Take care!!! Hugs to Miss Bailey from Miss Ella!!

((((HUGS)))) from me to you!!!!

RING,RING,RING
BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZTIME TO GET UP!!!!!!

Come on lazy, bones, Miss Sleepy Head, we have weeds to pull, dogs to walk, gabbing to do:D:D:D:D:D;);););)

It is a beautiful day in Wisconsin!!!!!! I hope you have a beautiful day as well.

I think I may have to go to college with my oldest granddaughter. I spent Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Sunday night helping with homework and college applications.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: And the school year just started:eek::eek::eek:

Of course, this time next year, I will be missing her like crazy. I am having a bit of a hard time thinking about it. She has been more like a daughter to me.

Anyway, have a wonderful day, think of me while you are pulling weeds and give Miss Bailey an extra ball toss for me as well.
