Can’t Ask For Anything More!!
Good Morning--A chilly 42 degrees out this morning as Brandy and I took one Doctor’s payment and one prescription payment down to the big green mailbox that stands along side the road. This is my way of overlapping. I get the lungs filled up with morning air, make the feet and legs wake up, and activate Brandy’s elimination system after a long night in her cage in the bedroom. Why in the bedroom you ask? Well sometimes duty calls her in the middle of the night and like when a new mother hears her baby wake we can hear Brandy to take her out.
The gentleman in the side picture is Mr. Flurry. Knitted from a pattern from The House of White Birches he is approximately 11 inches tall. I hope to get a few more made before Christmas --but time will tell.
Well the merry go round is beginning to move again. I see Dr. Rohr today to check out some ‘floaters’ in my eyes. Oh boy that means I get to take YOUR RIDE to my appointment not drive. Jay uses it twice a week to go to dialysis but I seldom climb aboard that white van to go anywhere.
A week from today is Jay’s surgery with Dr. Webb to tie off work done in his left arm and take some of the extra work off his heart due to the grafts and fistulas. What a way to spend Halloween!
Then of course in November I prepare to to play One Legged Jake for a few weeks starting on Thanksgiving Eve. They tell me I will be coming home on Thanksgiving Day but they didn’t say if they would feed me the traditional dinner before they kick me out!!!! Oh the fixes we oldsters get ourselves into . But hopefully I will be able to someday increase my aerobic exercise that Dr. Hukill has been asking me to for the past umpteen years.
Speaking of years we will have lived in our dome for eight years on the 29th of this month. A dream my hubby and I thought would never be realized.
On Monday I managed to get half my kitchen walls washed and the utility room took only a little dusting to bring it up to snuff.
So things are slowly coming together and I’m going to feel much better about the surgery this time. The last time, 18 or 20 some years ago, I had this type of work done I was working, which meant take time off. I resented being out of commission for six weeks with little to do. But this time there are no stairs to crawl up to go to bed. Everything I need is on one floor. I have projects lined up to do. I have started planning how I will feed my pets, with Jay’s help.
Now I have one very important thing I didn’t have before. I have Mommas Corner and a lot of friends to visit with as I recuperate. Can’t ask for any more!!!!
