Bailey and Friends

My friend just told me she isn't going to this party we have coming up because she is off to the Bahamas. I was momentarily envious till she said she was going on a kayaking adventure tour thing to which I immediately lost all envious thoughts. Instead I told her I thought she was missing the whole point of going to some place like the Bahamas, which is (repeat the mantra) beach, sun, water, drinks, food There is nothing about strenuous exercise and kayaking adventure in that mantra my dear. (I'm going to the party!) LOL

I was only mildly joking about the pool therapy, have you looked into that? It's suppose to be very good.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt as much but would still do the trick.

Glad you aren't getting that 6" of snow. brrrrrr nothing like having to clear driveways to make a person adopt the winter hibernation lifestyle. You know the one where you just wave and say, see ya in the spring my good folks.

You're turning into a night owl! Hope today is a good day for you!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Good "morning"!! I'm adjusting to this new lifestyle of mine. It's not so bad. Go to bed @7AM. Get up around 2. Clean up after Bailey throws up. I wonder, since I started taking two Rxs for pain at bedtime, if that is keeping me awake. I've never noticed that before, but since that is the only time I am taking them..............

I just wish we were going to get some snow. I really miss snow. Because of being so close to the ocean, it's always around 40 degrees in the winter......the temp of the ocean. If we do get snow, it's usually really wet and doesn't hang around. We went on a cruise one winter not long after we moved here and it snowed 18" while we were rowing around the Caribbean. When we got back, nary a trace could be found. I was always sad to have missed that. Back in N. VA, we almost always got one "good" snow each winter. At least 12", dry. The fun stuff. Just enough to give me a taste and be satisfied for another year.

Thinking of kayaking makes my knees hurt! I told Bob my next car was going to be the new Stingray. He chuckled, told me that was fine, but he could not see me being able to get either in or out of it!!!! The NERVE!!!

Really gloomy here today. I don't get why in the winter the skies are gray so much. In the summer it doesn't look gray like this. Ooooooo.....a red cardinal out my window. Wow...beautiful.

Well....back to thinking about warm seas, no work, lots of sun, a drink with a flower and an umbrella in it..................a pink one! :D

Love,
Susan

Its like you have a third shift job:D:D:D:D:D:D

Why is Bailey throwing up? Her pain meds too? Awww poor girl.

Im totally with Sharlene, fun, sun eat, drink, swim, read a book, listen to the ocean. We have not had much white stuff either but ice I have plenty of:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I am counting down the days until I dont need to take a flashlight with me when I take the dogs out after work:D:D:D I know it sounds weird, but I live for that day.;););););););)

I wonder why the pills are keeping you up, Sus. Did you ask your pharmacist? I'm forever bothering ours and she is always very gracious about answering my gazillion questions.

I finally caved and am allowing hubby back in our room to sleep. I feel sorry for him; here he is sick and so far I made him sleep on the couch, the old sleeper sofa with the bad matress and I am all stretched out in the middle of our bed, loving it;);););)

When we said "in sickness and in health" did that mean we have to be breathed on by a germy mouth while we sleep? I thought I would check in with you on that.:p:p:p:p:p

You're asking the wrong person about "in sickness and in health".....I owe Bob back more times than I have fingers and toes for all of the times he has had to show his wonderful nursing capabilities. :) On the other hand, I don't think Bob ever gave me germs that made me sick.:eek:
I checked in with a friend who is one of many with extensive surgery recovery experience and she was told by a mutual friend that Oxycodone has a side effect of insomnia. I mean this happened so fast it wasn't funny. I cut back, no problem. I cut back more, no problem. I went a day without any, no problem.....but pain at night that kept waking me up. Next night I took 2 Oxy and was WIDE awake. Same last night. She told me to try Tylenol PM. I sent Bob out for some and he just returned. He says a lot of the Tylenol products are under recall....hence no Tylenol PM. He picked up CVS brand which states it is comparable to TPM. I'll let you know. I'm feeling pretty sleepy and think I'll go risk it.

Bailey got sick right after her last Tramadol. Had not had a problem with any before that. She has eaten since then and is fine. This is a brand new chair she threw up on. Bob not happy camper. Fortunately it hit the arm cover. Fortunately we had those made when the chair arrived and didn't have them. I rinsed it all out and we're letting it dry. We'll survey the damage when it's all dry. Meanwhile we are going to Scotch-guard all the arm covers. That's for another day. I have a 9AM eye exam. :(

Nightie nite!!!:)

Love,
Sus

Hope you got some rest and your eye exam went well AND no more throwing up from Little Miss.

Our ice finally melted today but Sunday we are going into the deep freeze. Seems like a perfect day to stay indoors and vegetate or make a pot of soup.;););)

I think we should tell Marie Irene that Santa's stopping by her house to pick up the ipad;););):D:D:D Just kidding, I miss her, dont you? Maybe she ran into Carroll, they both live in CA.;););)

Have a nice weekend and stay out of trouble. I have to go help granddaughter with a few essays.:D:D:D:rolleyes::rolleyes: I guess I'll be going with her to college next year:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I SLEPT!!!!!!!!
My knee feels MUCH better (I cancelled pt yesterday.)
I SLEPT!!!!!!!

joy, oh wonderful sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you had another wonderful sleep Susan.

Ohhhhh Fun! Cha Cha Cha !!!

love,
Sharlene and the Molly Muffin

Sharlene I had another sleep...but too short....but not because of any issues. It feels as if I am headed in the right direction. I am fairly certain I will discontinue pt until my next doc visit in 2 weeks. I'm just not entirely sure that it is only helping. This has gone so very well and I will not risk doing anything which might compromise that. I'll just be going up and down stairs here at home a lot. I can also do the other exercises that I do in pt. There is no special equipment required.

Man!! It is SUNNY, SUNNY, SUNNY, and it is now 66 degrees!!! Tuesday night it's supposed to get down to 16. I sat outside with Bailey and we soaked in all the sun we could. :):):):D:D:D:D:D.

I hope you and Addy are enjoying Sunday. Football games start in a little over an hour...they should be good. Hugs and belly rubs to all!

Love,
Susan
