Hey Sus,
I hope the knee is not giving you trouble and Bailey is feeling chipper. The bubble wrap surely must have arrived by now:D;)
What happened with flood alert? I can understand why you would be tired of that whole mess. I look out at a flooded yard and am thankful it is not the basement. Though I did think of getting some ice skates when it was all frozen.:D:D
Hi Addy-
The flood only made it half-way to the house. There are a LOT of folks who are now considering selling because they are fed up with the flooding. The town came through yesterday and washed out all the "sewer system pipes." They've never done that before. They got a lot of gunk out. That should help. There were no evacuation instructions this time.
We have pretty much nixed the idea of the move to Annapolis. Apparently we too lost a chunk of change along with everyone else when the housing slumped. It just would not be a smart move financially to leave now. We will be checking out the condos in FL when we are there in May as a place we could have for the winter months and maybe rent out for the rest of the time.....or just leave empty. This winter has just been one to forget and I don't want to go through another one if I can help it. Not here.
Bailey is feeling very chipper. She has been running figure eights. It's still very wet outside and I'm anxious for the ground to dry out so she can play outside more. Legs seem to be doing very well.
How about taking a recent picture of Zoe? And posting it?
Love,
Sus
Sus I am so relieved to hear no blood clots. I just know things will get better for you soon. The nicer weather is right around the corner. Hubby is having terrible knee problems too and we are so hoping the warmer weather brings him relief.
Glad to hear Bailey is back to feeling good and has recovered. I think she told Zoe she was not keen on moving anyway, Bailey loves her yard:D;)
We cant have our annual East egg hunt because of all the snow in the yard. It is still pretty deep with large areas of ice. I am sad for our youngest granddaughter as she loves that and even the older one still wants to look for eggs though she claims to be "helping" Kayla.:D
Easter should not be so early, how do you wear Easter bonnets and white shoes in snow? Wow, I'm probably stuck in a time warp, huh?
love ya
Hey Susan! No blood clots is a good thing. Now just to get past all the other doctors. :) It's like an agility course or something. Just go around the obstacles and no hopping over them!
We'll be looking forward to updates.
We have sunshine here today and hopefully every day this week. Need to get rid of that snow outside.
Take care and hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Hi Sharlene and Addy and thanks for stopping by. I need the support, it has been a very rough week. I have been able to get a lot of good sleep for three nights now. HOO-ray! The swelling is way down and the black/blue is yellow and mostly gone. I see the heart doc on Thursday. I start at a new pt place on Tuesday. I have stayed in bed a lot with a heating pad and pillows propped a certain way and get comfort that way. Bailey, while bored, has stayed right with me. I am hoping to be able to take some walks once that is okayed. Start off slow and build up. Bob is my hero. He has been there for my every need....and cheerful about it.
The grass seed I put down in January is about one inch high and that pretty, bright green.:) I found a place that will deliver a special fertilizer that I want and that will come in a week. Once that goes down I figure it will be like flipping a switch. Give me a few 60 - 70 degree days, a rain shower or two and the nasty winter of 2012-13 will be history!!:D:D
Addy, Bailey likes to run along the edges of the garden, on the mulch, next to the grass. She doesn't like getting her feet wet on the grass. The outline of the backyard is kind of like a clover. I can just imagine/see Zoe and her having such fun romping around back there. When did you say you'd be by?
Love,
Sus
Oh, how I wish, dear friend - what a visit that would be indeed.:):)
I can see it all quite clearly and a wonderful site to be hold, you and me and some girlie drinks, or perhaps some tea cups, the pups running through the yard, hostas peeking their heads above the earth. I love the green of spring, that early green, it is a beautiful color.

Hi Susan,
Any time you want a chat and/or a laugh we're right here.
I think Addy is planning on throwing the Queens own tea party in your back yard. I'm looking for an appropriate hat!!
Your leg is just a mystery and I hope that it isn't going to be cardiac in nature. Sort of thinking, that usually cardiac involves several bruises up and down the leg in nature. Yours is just around the knee area right? I'm wondering if there wasn't a broken blood vessel that popped. That would cause an instant bruise, I think roundish and discolor really fast, but takes a bloody long time to clear up. It doesn't do any damage though if that is what it is. Just makes it look horrible for a long time. I've had it happen to me a couple times (the bruise both times was HUGE) and once I even got a bruise from the garbage can that didn't completely go away for a year. ACK!
I know you have all this other stuff going on with your knee, but I'm hoping that This is not going anything scary for you.
okay that is my positive, go getter idea of the day :)
Hugs!
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Sharlene, this mysterious leg bruising of mine started off right at the knee, ran across the knee and was about 2" deep. Two days after discovery of it, it was mostly gone. It was definitely in the yellow range. Two days later, blue and black were back. Two days later that faded. So on and so forth for 32-34 days now. It has progressed to below my knee and on around to the sides of the leg. The total area it has covered, at one time or another is about 5" down the leg and about 1/2 way around the leg. In addition to that fun, I have been plagued with a charley horse at the top of my calf and pain just behind my knee cap. Oh! And just for good measure, there is pain at the side of the knee.
Now-I did get three good nights of sleep in a row. Last nights wasn't so hot, but I did get some rest. And if I stay in bed with the heat on the calf, propped up on a pillow, the swelling stays down and it seems to help with the pain. I didn't think I was going to be able to stay in bed last night, but it finally settled down.
So.......anything fun going on at your house?????
I feel like some 89 year old bag. I feel so weak from so little activity.
I saw a picture of a maltese/poodle yesterday. Talk about CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to post some recent pictures of Bailey. I looked yesterday and there is nothing current of her there. Gotta get the taxes done first!
Love,
Susan
