SUNDAY TALKING...12-22-2024

SUNDAY TALKING

Wednesday I had my MRI. The results came in on my hospital web page the next day but none of it was explained. There has still not been any explanation from a doctor. It does appear that the only help to be recommended on the summary is physical therapy and/or a shot in my spine. Hopefully someone will call me before Christmas with a diagnosis and help coming very soon. Right now I would really like the prescription for a magic pill.

Thank you dear blog friends for your kind words these past weeks.

My family is coming on Christmas Day. Thankfully they are doing it all and this old granny gets to hold still and be celebrated in her chair. This sounds nice but I just don't feel quite ready for this treatment yet. My chickens still need me to get up and get going.

Wishing all of you who celebrate a Happy and Merry Christmas as we await 2025's arrival.

TURNS OUT...12-11-2024

TURNS OUT...

Not a hip problem. It's a back problem. Need a pain specialist. Will probably have shot in my spine. Cannot walk straight up. Have to walk bent over to relieve the pain. So miserable I will be gone for a while.

ANY IDEAS???

I WILL TRY THIS...

How to avoid a stooped posture as you age?

Practice straighter posture.

One option: Stand with your head, shoulders, upper back, buttocks, and heels (if you can) against a wall, and imagine a cord attached to the top of your head, gently pulling you upward. Hold for 30 seconds, relax, and repeat three times daily.

I have been off the grid. Very bad shoulder pain. Yesterday a second round of shots were given in both shoulders and withing one hour that pain was gone. Hopefully for three months. Eventually I will have shoulder replacements.

Hip pain is back, the first since my second hip replacement September, 2021. Sadly the hip pain is very slow to go away. X-rays did not show any fracture in my left hip. This time it seems to be bursitis. Still they gave me a shot. Still hopeful... My belief is that it was caused from shoveling chicken poop this past Monday.

Idea for my chickens...

WOW...IT'S DECEMBER ALREADY!!

Sunday Talking 12-01-2024

The majority of my grandchildren are now within an 88.3 mi. radius of me. However my grandson Dillon is now 1270.6 miles from this old Granny. Dillon and his precious wife Courtney have fulfilled their lifetime dreams of living in New York City. Almost every Sunday they write a Substack journal entry about their life in Manhattan these past four months. The tales of their abundant life in the Big Apple will one day be published in the New York Times or in best selling novel.

Meanwhile this curmudgeon of a grandmother sits in pity for herself. Not a traveler, our family did take amazing Summer vacations within the US and one to Canada. When I married Ron, we traveled from coast to coast. Not long ago my siblings and I went on a cruise to Alaska. Never being a traveler I made these joyful journeys in dreadful fear and welcomed every safe return home.

Dillon and Courtney are not on a trip. They have pulled up stakes and MOVED to NY. They are loving life and enjoying every aspect. Their careers are working for them there and the sightseeing proves unbelievable. They will never tire of all there is to see. They are missed by all but proud of by all. The stories are filling my heart with happiness for them and filling my selfish mind with wishes they were not so far away.

Love you kiddos!!

What has been on your mind and heart lately?

SUNDAY TALKING...11-24-2024

Our Thanksgiving celebration will be held this year at my home. Everyone has an assignment and will bring the food. All but three of the grandchildren will be able to attend. One will be working so his girlfriend won't come, one is now living with granddaughter-in-law in New York, and One is flying to Louisiana to be with her boyfriend.

I have worked to get the house ready. My housekeeper cannot come next week because she is celebrating with her own family. There is no doubt that a domestic person does not live in me. My sister, who is also getting ready for her family, told me to forget it because everyone will be so busy eating the won't notice if my house is clean or not. Good idea. A call was immediately put in to my friend Frank and a decision was made for both of us. Let's forget work and take the day off.

We went to town. Did a little shopping. Had a wonderful meal at a new Mexican restaurant. Then we spent 2 and 1/2 hours in the theater watching GLADIATOR 2.
