Good mornin.g all.

LB...I am so sorry you're having such trouble with both knees.  I know how painful it is.  Hopefully there is a surgeon out there who can help you.  I don't understand much of the diagnosis, but it sounds like alot of work going forward to get both knees fixed.  Sending prayers.

Paulie...Hi there.  We got the rain here that you had.  It was coming down at one point when we could hardly see much outside.  Beautiful day yesterday and today thank goodness...

Hi Phyl....

So hot here the past week. The A/C is on constantly.  I am thankful we have it, but anticipating a very high electric bill.  Ugh.

Have a good rest of the week.

[Phyl]

Howdy!
Good Morning...

{{{LB}}}-don't know what else to say about your knees. Skimmed thru your results...indeed docs will say repl them. In the end it's always the patient's call.  🙏 's 

ME: For years I've ignored medical adivce to replace with bone on bone---I doubt that I'd recover and be 'normal' from it. That's just me though.

Paulie- if you have the photos and the time  I'd luv to see them.

Hi jicaji- take care. Lani in Beakroom has you on our prayer list as per my request. If you're doing better ---maybe let her know the prayers are working.


Got lots going on so will pop in from time to time. Do take care.

Good afternoon
Got late start I had training this morning plus I was being back up for co worker 

[jicaji]

Phyl.  Thanks so much for putting me on the prayer list and with Lani.  I so appreciate it and I know all the prayers I've been receiving surely does help.  It pretty much goes day by day, but my back is certainly getting better.  Just depends I think of what I do and how I move.  AND, I know exactly what you mean about knee replacement due to bone on bone.  I have said pretty much the same thing.  I know my limitations now, which are many, but I don't know about a big full recovery with replacement.  Maybe some day??

Hi Paulie and LB....hope your week is going well.

Good Morning Beakers


I don't know if anyone of you knew this Decorah chatter (I know Puff knows her)  - sunset dreamer sometimes we just called her sunset was her name, but she is one of the ladies that I stayed at the cabin with last year for ATF.  She made alot of things for the auction, too.  She passed away on 7/11.  I don't know any of the details, but the post on her FB page says, she passed at her home.

RIP Sunset Dreamer...soar high with the eagles you love.

Hi! 

It's only been two days since I was last here but it seems so much longer. Busy week for sure!!

LB, There's a surgeon out there somewhere that will help you.

I like all 3 quotes today.

Phyl, I hope whatever is keeping you busy is/are good things.
Okay to photo's whenever I have time to sit for a while. Geez this summer has been busy and I'm loving it.
Thanks for bringing Lisa's post forward. God's peace for the soul of Sunset Dreamer. I'm sorry for the loss of Lisa and Puff's friend and yours too if you did chat with her.

jicaji, It's good seeing you here. I thought you'd get the pounding rain too. Everyone needs rain it seems with this hot summer. I hear ya about the A/C. Been on here for days too. Today while I was out doing errands the sun was sooo bright and feels like temp 98. Holy mud it was hot!

My 16 yr old granddaughter stayed here sleeping over for 3 days. We got appointments done then had a blast!

Yesterday I took my soon to be 14 yr old granddaughter (sister to 16 yr old) to her and my hair appointments then took her to dental appt. I've worn a short pixie like cut for years but yesterday I had my stylist go shorter and now I can do the spikes on top of head and sides I've wanted to try. I like it!

Today I was busy catching up on doing my household and yard things I didn't get done Monday till today. Lol
This evening I refilled all the birdbaths with fresh water, filled all bird feeders and put out deer wild berry food pellets, carrots and cut up apples. The rabbits like them too and even the squirrels. I've got well fed wildlife. 

Tomorrow planning to go to log cabin. The guys arrived today to clear side of cabin woods to install two septic tanks. We were able to watch work in both front side and rear of cabin with the Ring cameras. Tomorrow more work for them. Next week tanks are supposed to go into ground. Yay! My family and I can't wait to have running water from the well and to stop using many many jugs of water then refill the jugs when home then repeat and repeat. Not complaining honest. Very grateful for all that's been accomplished and we've been blessed with. But God's heaven know I'm really tired of jugs of water. 
Some of the contractors for different things after seeing cabin then coming inside have said .. You know this isn't a regular cabin. We thank them then say Nope! We might be in the mountain but we want it to feel like home, clean and relaxing.

Well I've been rambling and definitely tired. I'll try to keep in touch from the mountain.
I wish you a relaxing night. Take care. SED

Its a beautiful cabin Pauie!!!! It's glamping!!!!!   I would die without running water!!! Your hair cut sounds nice!! I am afraid to go  short!!

[LBLNJ0668]

Paulie!!!!! Virginn River 9/7

[paulie]

Hi LB,

I hope this posts. Got to cabin mid afternoon. Internet really spotty today.

Awesome about Virgin River!! Thanks for the heads up!!!

Thanks about the cabin. Glamping!! LOL  I hear ya about no running water! It hasn't been the easiest that's for sure when here. Water well has been dug and water treatment tanks installed. Septic tanks supposed to be installed next week. Fingers crossed.

My hair grows really fast so is why I was willing to try the much shorter pixie cut. If your hair grows fast too you should try a shorter style. We don't know if we don't try. 

Well again I hope this posts. Tomorrow morning one of my sons and granddaughter are arriving. Don't know if I'll get on laptop tomorrow but will try.

You take care and enjoy your weekend.

Good afternoon, I let this day get away fro mme. I spent the morning going breakfast meals.  Caffles and 2 differnt kinds of protein mu\ffins. That shuld last me a month!!!  Just finished doing my nails. I walked copper too  I am  almost done with Logmire. I think on the last season.  SOme epsodes were reall intense.  My hair used to grow fast but it slowed down a bunch recently not happy. Trying to get it o grow!!!

I have an appointment 8/8 with another surgeon, the one the medcal dr recommended. I'll listen to him in what he has to say. Hopeujlly he doesnt beat me up as well.  I'm not so sure I want the surgery but I am so tired of the pain. Is suppose to storm toda yand worse tomorrow I work in the ofice next week. and will be traianed on a new role I will have in addition to my work

[paulie]

Hi LB, Long pleasant day at cabin. Got more things assembled and put together. Geesh it's hot on this mountain. Raining here now so should cool things off a bit.

Very good you got so many breakfast meals accomplished today! Sound delicious. Nice that you did your nails and walked cutie Copper too. You're doing really good.

I was wondering how what you'd think of some Longmire episodes. Agreed that some are really intense and hard to watch. Very good show though. We were sad to see it end despite some tough to watch episodes.

Hmmmm about your hair growth slowing down for now. It happens. Suddenly it will start growing fast for you again.

Best wishes for your Aug 8th surgeon appt. Hopefully he's the one who can help you. It's understandable you're not sure if you want the knee surgery or not and also being tired of the pain. When knee replacement was recommended for me last Jan I opted for knee gel injections.  I'm scheduled for another round of 3 injections now six months later. I'm not sure if I'll opt for knee replacement in another six months or not. I know you've already had knee injections more than once and you are still in pain so take your time in your decision. I think this new surgeon will offer advise (knee replacement being his expertise). Do what you thing is best for yourself is my advise.

Stay safe if any storms. I think good for you being trained on a new role in addition to your current work because that will keep you busy without so much down time.
