Sorry tig!!!! IThe sure sounded scary!! I hope you feel better soon!!! (TIG)I gre up in a bui level too Paulie but you sound like you have more stairs.  LOL.  It was steps to get to front door steps to go up where pretty much everything is bedrooms bathroom living kitched dining room. Then from the front door you can go down . thats where the laundry is the play room growing up but then turned into my brothhers bedroom also a den  ad door to garage and door to out back which you have ot go up 2 steps. ALso a sotrage closet LOL  The main entrance by front door is just a landing (entry way with a closet.

Weekend is starting to well Copper is soo itchy bendryl isnt working stupids naps anrebad.  I kep spraying I dont think its killinng them  The other day I noticed airconditioner wasnt working right thank god not so hot but tomorrow it is I put in a servie yesterday no one came (ac is a priority) I called otday and got the on cll guy compressor is broken He gave ma a portable contractor will be out next week (I hope) I will call tuesday to find outIts ging t be in the 90's aall week starting tomorrow.  I am now washing the throw carpet (it's washable) maybe it will help with the gnats??  I  Just feel like I amgoing to explode!! I am sooo stressed Oh my insurance approved my surgery but just for the regular surgry not that robatic.  THey feel it's not necessary so I guess he will fight it. Still got 2 months  I'll call nextweek to speak to the surgury coordinator  to find out what happens next  I am glad I am off Tuesday and working from home rest of week. But I dont want to deal with Copper  I was going to schedule to get him a bath but I am afraid of how he wil be with the groomer and getting there. They get so crowded  Talk me into it will probably help him!! Anyone have any gnat spray recommendations that kill them not chase the maway

[paulie]

some bounce

Good ideas all ...  and thanx

But, how about a margarita... in honor of Jimmy? 

We will hang in there, like Iris

Tig, Some bounce is better than no bounce.  Keep resting.

Good song and God rest his soul.
Here ya go ......

Phyl, Oh geesh to how you heard about the 6 weeks!!

Phyl, Oh geesh to how you heard about the 6 weeks!!

I was in my late 20's and stepped off a curb 'wrong' and sat right down on top the the  snapped ankle. The doc went on holiday two weeks later for 1 mo. By the time I could get in to see him. I wore the cast nearly 8wks

[paulie]

LB, Yep you understand about bi-levels. Lol

Poor Copper! Sounds like the knats are biting him badly. Not nice for you to deal with either. I haven't a clue about sprays to kill them.
Are the knats getting inside after you take Copper for walks?

I vote yes to taking Copper to groomer for a bath. It would help his skin hopefully and maybe they have a medicated shampoo for things like this? They know how to care for dogs when they're upset etc. Has he been there before?

Oh no about your A/C! You'll definitely need it next week. Temp of 97 predicted in my area next week too. Good you're calling on Tuesday. I hope the repair guy fixes it Tuesday!

What can I say about insurance companies. Always trying to save a buck. Good they gave approval for regular at least but I agree your Dr/office will contact insurance to state their case to get robotic approval. I hope they get it!!

Oh my gosh Phyl! That was nasty!! And having to wait so long to see Dr then wear the cast 8 weeks! You had good reason to not be happy!!

Good morning Thanks for info Phyl I completly forgot about apple cider vinegar and the saran wrap I did that befor I have gnat replellent but is very liquidly and makes floor and every wet. I have some kind of trap coming today Oh they like coffee I leave old cold coffee out and I find a few in there in the morning. They likke corners. LOL  Yes they are coming from outside when I walk copper they are all over the  place I have gotten bitten, Cant get away from them  They used to spray for bus but not this year 

I idd make an appointment for copper next Saturday for grooming.  I will bring a muzzle and did say he gets aggressive with people and dogs at times  I have thunderase with hemp I will give him before hand but I only have 3 left so I have to resist in giving to him until then  He has definily been really stressed I will be getting more but wont come until Saturday probobly after he is at groomers I hate strugling for my money the raise helps with rent but not extra needs.  Maybe a littleif I am better budgeting maybe this will teach me   

Oh I got approval from my insurance for the knee replaceent but not the robatic kind.  I a sure the surgon will firhgt it.   INsurance says its new and experimental and shows no proof it works any better than th enormal surgery.  we'll see what happens.  I know robatic it wont be as much stiches but I think only reduces it by 4.  I am going to google to see what the difference is 

[LBLNJ0668]

I googled  I now want robatic  https://www.orthobethesda.com/blog/robotic-vs-traditional-knee-replacement-surgery/ 

Hopefully he gets them to approve 

[Phyl]

Hi {{{LB}}} thanks for the update on what's going on with you /Copper.  If robotic surgery is giving you peace of mind---I hope this works out
          for you.  It's the times and these days there's no catching up.  Do you have an Aldi's there? My experience has been good quality  and great prices
          not as gourmet as Trader Joe's but good prices and in most cases better than Walmart in general.  Been to a food bank?

Hi{{{ Paulie}}} how ya' doing/feeling?

Hi  jicaji. are you back to your 'ol self'?

Good Morning...

Jim works today---off at 3pm. Planning on making a marble cake w/ chocolate frosting.  . Grilling hot dogs w/ traditional potato salad,  and all the classic toppings, a brew each.

[LBLNJ0668]

Good Morning thanks phy we have an ALdi's but I dont like the area its in.  I have shopped there when I lived in south jersey yes very cheep and good food.  I'll have to check out where the next closest one is.  Your meal sounds wonderful!!!!!

Robatic I think I am ok without doing that one but it  seems to be better results and less hospital stay than regular.   I dont know why but I will ask.  I a sure he will fight it to get it approved.  The coupe of articles I read is proof enough  I would  think.  But we'll see. Actually at first I was hesitant with robotic. wasnt sure I trust a robot . LOL  But teverything I read was faster recovery. 

Happy Labor day!!

[Phyl]

Hi Lb What are your plans for today? Be good Copper.   I've read nothing but good about robotic surgery too. I just hope this
works out well for you and life is better. 

Hi Paulie and jicaji. hope you both are having a safe celebration

[paulie]

Hi and Happy Labor Day

LB, Interesting comparison between regular and robotic surgery. Didn't know the robotic was a shorter recovery time and safer in other ways too. Good to know.

How is it in your house with no A/C? Keep your windows and curtains closed and hopefully you have fans to use.

Quote #3

Phyl, Your holiday meal and dessert sound very good and relaxing afterward I hope. Good!
Thanks for asking. I'm resting today.

Interesting Peper Heat Index. Charlie, most of my children, a granddaughter and other family really enjoy and like hot hotter peppers!

Why am I resting today? Ummmm....
Saturday I over did it going up/down stairs lots!! Doing laundry .. washer .. dryer .. washer .. dryer BUT got it all done!!

Then yesterday family cook out here. I made up food shopping list then Charlie went to store.
Others brought other food and dessert items. The guys grilled.
I enjoyed setting up buffet plates/bowls and dining table when I had an empty house (after I was told not to and wait for others to arrive.)  I enjoyed doing it.

I stayed on the main floor but more walking than usual/being on knees/feet and using left wrist. Relaxed on deck off of dining table area with others too.
Was exhausted and swollen by 10pm when everyone left so used voltaren gel and iced again.
Today tired and reeealazing. I even napped earlier!

Very hot here today. Heat index earlier 99 and going higher as this week goes forward. Ugh. Lots of states getting hit with this late season heat wave.

Tig, How are you feeling today?

Wrist hurts from typing so stopping for now.

Wishing all a relaxing and yummy food and desserts Labor Day. 

[jicaji]

HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYONE

Hope everyone had a good long weekend.

LB...Glad you got the approval for your knee replacement.  Now hopefully your Dr. will get the approval for the robotic procedure. Sorry about the gnats. 

Hi Paulie and Phyl.  Since I haven't been here lately, I'm going to have to go back and read the previous posts soon.

Going to start dinner .
