Sus, that would be AWESOME!
With dad's multiple hospital stays, I've gotten to the beach once this summer.
He's in the hospital again, I called 911 today - he has pneumonia really bad and it literally came in like gangbusters over the weekend. He was perfectly fine on Friday.

Blood clots are nothing to fool with. If your cardiologist wants to put you on a blood thinner, mention Eliquis. Dad takes this twice a day and monitoring is not required like it is with Coumadin (Warfarin). Good thing you saw the lump! Pain is too easy for us to explain away.

Geez Louise, a blood clot in the leg? I better send extra bubble wrap.

Weddings take on their own course somehow and can be stressful. Maybe group massage therapy for the ladies?

EVERYONE is saying that about winter and I am hoping it is a nasty rumor started on Facebook or Twitter

It is 7:05pm and it is almost dark. My body already wants to hibernate and it is only September!!! What is up with that?

We still have the pool open , not to swim, just to look at. Never did get that 'last swim of the year."

love you

We're just looking at our pool too right now, but have high hopes that we'll get another swim day or two in, maybe we'll get a warm up!

So how is that blood clot doing? I got one on my arm out of the blue one day. It wasn't very big, but scared the bejebees out of me I must say. I took aspirn, I think 365mg a day and it went away on it's own finally. I must have checked it a zillion times a day though.

I can't believe how short daylight is already!!
I think I spent a total of 3 times in the hot tub. It always sounds like a good idea but then it gets pushed back for something and then it's too late...it's time for bed!
(I know........EVERYone should have such problems!!)

Well....where did my reply go??? I was typing away and all of a sudden it was gone. Weird.

Anyway-Sharlene......when is your trip.....and did you say California? Business or pleasure? Where in CA?

I saw the heart doc today and got okay-ed for the surgery. He sad the blood clot was nothing to worry about. When it's on the lower leg, it's no big deal. The doc in the emergency room said that also. He had an EKG done on me and it was fine. He said my family doc is the one I need to see about the blood clot. Although at this point, I think it's a moot point.

So tomorrow I get to ride to Dover, 75 minutes north of here, just to pick up paperwork I need prior to surgery. Then the day after we return from FL I get to go see my regular doc for a pre-op exam and to make sure she knows of the blood clot incident.

I'm exhausted. I didn't get to sleep in once this week. I'm off to bed.
Hi Trish .

Love,

Oh I hate missing my sleep in mornings (sat and sun) I get all grumpy if they are missed.

Next week to California. Santa Cruz. It's definitely pleasure. I am surprising my sister and brother in law on their 50th anniversary. She is older than me and I was a baby at her wedding. I know she wishes I could come and wanted me to be there. We've been planning this since February and amazing, no one has spilled the beans. I'm completely and totally thrilled and can't wait to see her face. Last time I saw her was a few years ago when we went out to California for Christmas.

Sounds like you have your plan in place for your surgery. I'm trying to remember how long it took my clot to dissolve. It was quite a long time, but it did just keep getting smaller and smaller.

Hi Sharlene

I can't see the place where the golf ball sized clot was.......or the golf sized swelling as a result of the blood clot, but it's still tender to the touch.

Have a wonderful trip/visit with your sister. How exciting. Be sure and give us all the details after you return.
Love,
Sus

Oh it sounds like it is dissolving quickly. That is good. I could feel a small hard pebble size bump for quite a while. Mine didn't bruise, but was a lump.

Thanks. I'll be sure and let everyone know how it goes. Cross fingers.

Hello Friends!!

We have returned from meet/greet the "other" parents and our trip to FL. The other parents are nice-especially the guy. The Mom tends to be a bit overbearing. That's not news to anyone.
Florida-we arrived and had no a/c. It seemed to have a melt down at some point. We got that fixed and that guy told us we should have an electrician check out our breaker box. So that's what we did on day #2. Everything is all fixed now. It poured EVERY afternoon.....but we did get in two days to the pool and one day to the beach and the Gulf. The Gulf was soooooooooooooo nice. Did not take any getting used to....you could just walk on in.
Only saw one alligator, thank goodness.
Bailey went bezerk when we showed up to pick her up. She was SOOOOOOO happy and SOOOOO excited. It was wonderful. I'm so glad she is not a dog that pouts. I've heard tales.
It's late ..... this was my very first chance to get on the internet. I'll look around tomorrow and see what you all have been up to while I've been gone.
Foot surgery is Friday AM. I'm getting a bit apprehensive.

Have a great hump day!
Love,
Sus

OH! Wedding date has finally been set. It will be May 25th. Memorial day. It will be a sit down luncheon, it looks like. I'm SOOOOOO excited that they finally reserved a place and set a date!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Sus
