JUst got home fro work pt and finished dinner.  I dont know about this.  It was for sure a struggle.  BU tthen again first time using the roller back back. The chair at work sucks. The first 5 minutes of sitting in the chair the back pain staeted agai.  The sciatis in thighs again too I was miserbale.  I told my boss he couldnt give 2 poos.  They were easier with me on PT, These are so wonderful.  I get my shot tomorrw. I am so ecited maybe some relief somewhere...... HOPE.  Oh he expalined to me I may be hurting more today because of all the lifting I did this weekend. Sometimes it takes 1-3 dayd to set in

Jacaji I am struggling with the cane. It is easier. But I am struggling.

Nice to hear from you today.  So sorry work was so miserable. Wish I had the right words.
So happy to hear that your injection is tomorrow.  If I recall those take a bit to bring relief.
Many hugs and loads of good wishes for you!
Try to rest.



Good Night ...

Howdy 

LB, You definitely had a busy and productive weekend. Makes sense you're sore after that. What's with your chair at work? Did work get new chairs for everyone? Enjoy your shot tomorrow.

jicaji, Cool you got a hummer already! None here yet. Nice that your marigold seeds got a good rain. Can't beat mother nature's rain. Strong thunderstorms rolled through here too this weekend.
Do you still have a Bluebird visiting? Mine, total of 7 at times, are weird cuties. Every year when the weather gets warm they stop visiting mealworm feeders late Spring and Summer. They didn't come here last week with 70 and 80 temps. Yesterday and today they were here because of much cooler temps and frost warnings. I filled the feeders knowing they'd show up in cooler weather.  My Bluebirds do the opposite .. arrive in the Fall and stay through winter then leave late Spring.

Phyl, I like your colorful pictures too.

Hi Puff

I have everyone has a relaxing night and good sleep. SED

Good Morning 

After frost this morning again it's another sunny day warming up already to the 60s. Nice temp to be outside trimming butterfly bushes.  I've got inside work to get done first.

Deer are still coming to feeding area for birds. 3 different groups now. 1 herd of 9. Who knew deer like birdseed so much! That's what attracted them years ago. I couldn't figure out why my large ground birdseed feeder was empty every morning until we saw a doe eating on an early evening. I put sliced apples and carrots and two small piles of shelled corn out too. I used to put grapes mixed in 2 barn troughs but grapes too expensive now. Once the grape arbor has grapes the deer and birds clean it out pretty good. I have pictures from the past but I put the trail cam on video this past Dec. Don't know if videos would post here and they are sort of long.

A fox or two shows up in the spring and autumn too. Last spring a young fox would chase the squirrels around half heartedly. Never caught one. lol Then would lay in the grass. Also last summer an adult hawk would sit on one of the birdbaths in feeding area while squirrels and a ground hog ate birdseed. It would sit a long time just looking around. I guess it sensed a calm surrounding or its crop was full. 

Okay enough of me chatting.

LB, Best wishes for you getting your shot today!  Let us know how it goes. Could putting a soft pillow behind your back or to sit on help to be more comfy sitting at work in that chair?

Time to get to work. Wishing all a pleasant day. Take care.

I call this pic "Guys out night" on a New Year's Eve a few years ago.

What a cute photo Paulie

Jacaji I misser hummers

Hi Puff
Thanks Phyl

My shot was an experience I never had before. LOL   I am stll amazed.   LOL 
At my old place they did the injections in the drs office. I knew to where shorts or pants that  will roll up  to my knees. I was out in 10 minutes. 

This new Place. OMG. First changed their process. They moved all injections over to their surgical unit . This whre they usually do same day proceudres.  So they follow sterile protocal. ANyway I get there and had to sign off on my life. LOL  I was then moved over to the waiting area where I had to change into a gown hat  and things over my feet.  So there goes the pants I chose to where ( could move over  my knee.  I then had to sign off on my lif again. I was in a waiting area with hspital cheer.  They told me they will move me to the room.  I was like wait. I am not getting injections here?  When ready to go I ask if I will be wheeled in with a wheel chair (I was being funny) I was in an OR room!!! On operating tabel. They did xrays ulta sound saw I had fluid in left knee and drained that as well  as shot my right knee  had no fluid. 

when done  went back to get changed and went to work.  Same thing for the next 3 weeks.  LOL  THE END. 

They were laughing how amazed I look.  I must have looked in disbelief the whole time.   I am actually amazed.  so this whole thing took 30 minutes!!!!   THere goes the in and out thought.  LOL 

Walking with  lap top with rolling wheels bags was better today than yeserday Tomorrow PT

[Phyl]

Well knock me over with a feather, LB as amazed as you.
'Signed my life a way.' LOL
And t wice no less.
Sure hope this works for you. Get some rest and take care tomorrow
Hugs and prayers

[paulie]

Oh my heavens LB!! Your experience today definitely is nothing I've heard of before. Wow! You were definitely in a sterile environment!

This practice you found is awesome! I still say you were meant to find this place for sure.

You got injections in both knees correct .. after fluid drained from left knee?

Then you got dressed .. went to work .. and walking with laptop with wheels bag was better today! Awesome!
You go girl!! I'm so happy for you!!

Good evening. Not good for me.  I am having bad day (not my knees) Turns out I do have neuropathy  in my feet.  I cant t ake this anymore.  no sign of relief.  The pt guy is going to talk to the medical team to see what can be done. 

[paulie]

Good Morning .. almost afternoon.

LB, Darn about your diagnosis. There is relief. One of my daughters has neuropathy and deals with it. Your team will come up with option(s) for you. It's one of those "It is what it is" things then you'll be able to handle it going forward.

Extremely long day/night yesterday. I took my 82 yr old neighbor friend to ER .. a bit of a drive to the one she goes to. Anyway we waited a long time being a busy ER then she finally got a room in ER. I stayed with her until 1am this morning when Dr said best to keep her for observation. I got home going on 2am this morning. I called ER today. She's still the same. She's fed up because she's had a rough road health wise since last summer. I'm trying to give encouraging pep talks to her. Will see what today has in store for her.

Sunny pleasant day here today with much needed rain forecast tomorrow into early next week.

Oops. Had to come back because I forgot quote again.
#1 Gut feelings are usually spot on.





 

[Phyl]

No need to elaborate on our weather, image says all. LOL

Gosh! LB Sending prayers and hugs that the PT will help  your neuropathy.  There are things that cn be of help as Paulie.
Don't dispare.

Paulie bless your heart and soul! Hugs and prayer for  you and your neighbor's recovry. Good words for LB.

#1-always

[LBLNJ0668]

Sorry to hear about your friend Pauli!! You are a wonderful person.  I know the  place go to oversomething forget the name. Nut it stimulates the area with promblem go 3x a week for a month  I read didnt talk to anyone yet I will bring it up tomorrow.  What other things are there. It's like walking on club feet by the end of the day.  I cant deal with it any longer.   1 more day!!!

[paulie]

LB, Yes today's TGIF for you!  Did you have appt today to discuss what you wanted to? Hopefully you have a relaxing weekend to not be on your feet too much.

Hi Phyl, The rain you had is now in my area. Supposed to rain 2 to 4 inches through the weekend into Monday. Blah. Good that because my area has a 4 inch deficit.

[LBLNJ0668]

Happy rainy Friday and rainy weekend more reason not to move!!! LOL Yes Paulie I went to PT today.  I actually have an appintmnet with thw dr there (the same one who does my knee injections . Oh the neuropathy is some and maybe hard to tell due to the scar tissue from  my achielle surgery

I have to say.  I found a gem of a place for my Physical Therapy.. I went today and I did my 30 day evaluation.  From expressing my concerns with my feet. They  went to medical yesterday to address th isse. I have a follow-up appt with the Dr there to go over my nerve study. My PT. Guy said most likely I will be getting an MRI. On my spine and most like an epidoral depending on what they find... he spoke with me for the whole hour while I stretched. He looked at my feet cause of my concern of them feeling so cold all the time. He answered all my questions... I never seen a whole group of people that treat you like a person. They listen to you and let you vent and try everything possible to get you better. My back is much better. But  now from the  waste down is issue.  Now i have different home stretches to do t see if that will help. They try different thingsThey are the best.


I told him how I am afraid there is a chance I will go paralysis due to the feeling in my feet.  This is too scary for me  I never experienced this before.  He calmed me down. He could be my son , I just wanted to hug him!!!!

[paulie]

LB, Oh my gosh I am soooooooooo happy for you!!!  I agree with you 100% you found a gem of a place. You were led to find them for sure.

Everything you explained about being there today is excellent and shows they are most definitely insightful and caring with the treatment and concern they are giving to you. Awesome!

Aww God bless you being scared and worried. Your PT guy sounds wonderful. It's cool you said you feel he could be your son. That's says a lot about you going there. That makes me happy because for a while now I feel like you're one of my daughters.  I pray for you and want you to get and feel better. You know what? You are going to! Yes ma'am you are.

Quotes ... You did it again. All three quotes are great.

Now you relax on this rainy weekend. No cleaning allowed. That can wait for another weekend. It's take care of LB weekend.
