Wow I just got another notice that my LO of Autumn in Scotland got picked yesterday for Lay out of the day. That's two times this month. I was completely surprised by this and not expecting it at all. I feel bad that it was in away as I'm running with some friends and I didn't want to be in competition with them. This one I used with cousin David's photo's he recently sent me from Scotland. The kits are of course TerrellS he butterfly kit, Her SAS contributation for the October mega kit and her Impressions kit where I used plaid an plain paper.
Tuesday was Doctor's day for Jim and I. It's prod and stick day as I call it. I had my chest x-ray and my hip was x-rayed too. Also flu shot's for both of us. They called with the results yesterday. Lungs clear except for some minor stuff but scaring on the upper spine. The hips show scaring around the spine area and arthritis. All of which I had already figured I had. He also thinks there is Sciatica in the front of my right leg...I always thought it happened in the back of the leg...live and learn. She asked if I had ever fallen. Yup and I knew that's where it was from as since 1982 I have suffered from low back pain and pain in the neck lol Oh 3rd husbands don't count. I rephrase that to pain in the neck area. I fell during an ice storm at work injuring my back and putting me out of work for two years and in constant pain during that time and for every rain storm, snow storm etc. ever since. So far I've been able to live with it with an occasional pain pill but mostly aspirin and Motrin till lately where it has affected my walking ability. I have a lot of trouble when I bend over or get up after sitting and it takes me a few minutes standing before I dare walk as I feel like I'm going to fall and the pain can be terrific. But I refuse to let it get me. Ha. So I hobble once in a while and probably look like a drunkin sailor. They have had me on Mobic which I also refused to take because it made me gain weight and now he switched me to Celebrex so we'll see. If I start gaining it's gone too. I like to think that the weight will aggravate it and I'm sure it will so I'd rather do Aleve or Motrim, but I'll give it a try. It's hell to get old but the choices..forget it. Also a change in another and a switch to Allegra. I felt like I was equipped to open my own pharmacy walking out of the hospital today. I had 11 prescriptions Geez. Thank God for Tricare and Medicare and the Military and most of all Thank God for Jim.
Tonight I made tomato bisque and grilled cheese for supper. Not too bad either. Even Jim liked it. I've been having it at the Daily Bread for lunch and figured I'd try to make my own up.
It's been raining here all week so with the satellite so crummy we've taken the laptops down to check our mail etc.
I'm sorry to hear my buddy Terrell is out of sorts today with 102.5 temp. She's been burning the candle at both ends with the kids, moving problems, packing and trying to get her kits done for three sites. I hope it's not flu, but she has run herself ragged. She needs to get some rest and build herself back up and I hope she listens to her body. Tonight she had no choice as her body took over and she had to listen to Alex and go to bed. So Alex is playing nurse Nightengale tonight.
Well thats it for a bit as my body is telling me something, too. Good night Scarlett where ever you are.
