Off to get a shot in my lower spine, it’s so very, painful I hate getting them

is it cortisone ?... I've had several of those over the years.. they always numb me first, and so I don't feel the injection, the pain comes after the numbness wears off. Usually lasts about a week or 2 , but then I get about 18 months painfree..

Good luck chikadee.. I'd hate to have to get a painful injection...

Trying to get caught up in my video game. I've gotten behind because I tend to multitask in game then I got all this stuff going on. It's almost an ADD experience. LOL! Like Dora the fish..."I need to finish my beach project...Oh look! There's a new dress in the game shop! Ok now...what was I doing? Project...right....Oh look! Panda wants to chat. Project...Oh look I have mail!" It's endless. We had a major game update Wednesday night & a crap ton of products hit the shelves at the in game shop & as shopping and running around in game all day. Got stuff laying all over the island willy nilly where I had to empty pockets and have left projects to do something else.

Gonna try to get some of it handled today. Since I'm just sitting here and all. :rolleyes:

Just so you have some idea...LOL!
This is me in my living room surrounded by tasks. I have a Nintendo Switch Lite...a Cinnamoroll jacket & Hello Kitty tee to wrap & gift to villagers. Flowers in the background to be planted so I can have a 5 star rating. I'm working on a spring break project for the beach on one side of the island plus a bunch of little ideas keep blooming here and there. Then there's the second island...LOL!

And here in her little Hello Kitty dress...I added cat nose with whiskers later.

How are you doing??

Ugh! I am doing much better these days. I was put on a new steroid, along with Prednisone to calm the nerves in my brain. I'm being told that the nerves that are located deep into my brain are not acting normal. In other words, they are not receiving signals from other nerves that tells them when to work. (I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't understand any of this stuff.) I have a mild case of Dystonia, which causes me to lose my balance all of a sudden. The neurologists believe that taking these two steroids as directed will get the brain activity back to normal. They seem to be helping. The doctors don't seemed real concerned about this, so I am guessing that things will get better.

Thanks for asking.

Sacroiliac joint: can cause muscle tension, pain, may inhibit mobility. Pain is felt on one side of the lower back or buttocks and radiate down back of leg.

You can bend over and get stuck in a bent over position if this joint is messed up so you have to be careful. I would check with your doctor and you can google on line of course.

This has been two years in the making.
Met on a senior/ friendship site.
We know a lot about each other, maybe more than meeting in person first.
He came out of an early retirement....for me....
Since the borders remain closed.....he decided to start trucking again.....because, can cross borders without issues.....otherwise, who knows when they will be open.
6ft 2".....blue eyes.....the kindest heart i've ever known.....is Dutch.....moved to Canada when he was 17......still carries an accent.
 
Yesterday, I set up appointment for hip replacement, set up appointment for diagnostic mammogram, set up appointment for heart check up before major surgery, set up new appointment with pain management, and did a little shopping.

Got take out from our favorite Mexican restaurant as it as too busy to eat inside. They got the order wrong and had changed chefs so way too spicy for me. But husband, manned up, and ate it all 😮. Won’t get food from there again. So sad.

Today, shopping. YAY, I so love to shop, and since we bought a bunch of stuff for him, today is my turn. Although I am buying stuff for the house. Since I am still losing weight, I am kind of in between size-one size a bit too big, the other size a bit too small.

I took my usual morning walk 😁, very windy outside so a bit difficult, but got it done. Getting ready to set my husband to doing some work outside, he is thrilled, 🤣. But I want to give Bella a much bigger play area so she can run off her energy.

I just got back from a walk with my Bella...it was like playing dodge ball as I had to skirt others' dog poo...horse poo and Lord knows what else so I am aiming for a 'bigger play area' as well as I don't like this game of dodge ball!! Not my style at all! Now speed walking with me down the country road would work...gotta put my thinking cap on...too many distractions right now.

OMGOSH, I miss read the word trucking and, and, what the heck?-did she just write, oh, ok, trucking, ops. 🤣🤣🤣. My mind reached out it’s little tiny arms and pulled itself out of the gutter. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have been married 50 years now to a man I dated a couple of times and wrote to for a year. I thought he was wonderful. I was mistaken. Most of the time I now realize it was a HUGE mistake, and I try not to dwell on it. Hindsight is not useful. I was young and very stupid.

Not raining on your parade, just saying be very careful. I always over worry cause I care. Don’t hate me for my opinion. I hope it works out for you.

Thank you for your opinion, Aneeda, appreciate your sharing.
In today's world...one has to be on the guard.
Since my divorce almost 5 years ago.....have been approached by some.....didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what they wanted......cook, housekeeper, body in the house so they're not alone, and the obvious.
Shut the door on those......spent almost half my life with someone that needed a mother and raised......what i needed did not matter.
In time, i was realizing that he led me to believe he was someone he was not.
By that time, a split would have left me with half his debt.....no assets.....so i stuck it out for far too long......i know.....can't go back.
In our 2 years in the making with my Love now....we've covered a lot....meeting is next....i see it going very well.....BUT nothing is written in stone.
P.S. ...... He TALKS !!!!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁
 
My wife is grooming the two Bichons today, that takes several hours and saves big $$. She is very good at it.

I cooked breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen and am digging out the hummingbird feeders so that I can welcome the Spring migration of Ruby Throated birds in the next few days. This afternoon I will take a walk.

Later this evening, I will be grilling a couple of small steaks and start looking for our evening movie on the Roku.

Otherwise, it is another very slow day in COVID land.
 
A strange thing happened 5 min after Thora&I were in the grocery store,the power went off,the backup generator went on. It was weird walking in a darkened store,luckily there were a few lights on,I knew where my favorite items were.A few customers were using their phones which had flashlights.We were out of the store in 20 min

Went grocery shopping for the first time in 4 weeks. It was the longest without buying groceries/food in my life. And I didn't go anywhere during those 4 weeks. I usually buy groceries every week or every other week.

My hatred of grocery shopping is well documented here, so when the pandemic hit, I bought another larder style freezer, which meant we now had a chest freezer as well.. as a half freezer on the fridge.
I bought a set of industrial shelving, and created a larder in the Barn for canned goods.. so I could keep away from potential infection in the supermarkets, but the beauty of it now is that I only need to go shopping every 4 weeks.. and even then I only have to get a 1/4 of what I would have bought pre -pandemic since having the extra storage
 
Today has been a strange day for me. I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up my medicine. As I was walking through the store someone called out "Aunt Barbara" I looked around and a woman was running towards me. I didn't recognize her. I don't know how she recognized me with my mask on. She said, "Aunt Barb it's me, Kathy."
I still didn't recognize her until she started talking. Before she married my nephew she was raped. Since both her parents worked she was afraid to be alone. So she came to stay with me for a couple of weeks. Then she married my nephew but the marriage only lasted 2 yrs. She divorced my nephew and we never saw her again.
She had been through so much trauma that she had a mental breakdown. For years we looked for her but never were able to locate her and neither were her parents. I was in total shock when I saw her. I hadn't seen her in over 20 years. She never married again and when she told me where she is living now I was surprised she wasn't far from where we just moved. We exchanged phone numbers and hopefully, we will get to visit. I'm still in shock.
 
Cranked up the music and started cleaning the house. The kitchen, ridding the kitchen counter of all the ppwk I throw on it, folding clothes, making some food, and then enjoying my break time on the computer lol.

Afterwards, I'm planning on sitting outside on a lounge chair in the sun and reading all the magazines I've been saving.

First day of spring here in California......
 
Raining hard this morning but went to shop at Target. Bought a rug shampoo machine since husband, and Bella, track in mud, dirt, and poop on their feet-mostly husband. A new pot with a stream rack in it, one curtain to match a curtain I bought last year 😂.

A few groceries as there was a sign left on our door to contribute to the food bank, pick up today. Put out most of everything I had, since I don’t keep much on hand, and bought replacement stuff for us. It had been picked up by the time we got home.

A coat hanger for Bella’s leashes to put by the back door and other odds and ends that I wanted but could wait to get. Spent 500 dollars, 🤦🏻‍♀️. Money just flies away when you buy stuff. Bought a couple movies for the boys. Couple more toys for Bella. Stopped at big mans store, he got four more shirts.

Bought take out, came home, ate, fed and bathroomed Bella, off to IKEA. Americans doing their patriotic duty, spending their stimulus. OMGOSH me and everyone else in Utah. They had what I wanted, one thing, but when we got to the checkout, yup, did not buy it and left. Threw away our full of germs masks.

Lots of the under 2 group age in the store, stupid parents putting babies at risk.

Headed for Sams Club, husband doesn’t go when light turns green 🤦🏻‍♀️, I look over, he fell asleep at the stop light. Mr. sit on his butt and never move anything but fork to mouth is worn out by shopping at a couple stores. Told him to pull over and let me drive, he refused. Then he drifts off, again, and almost hits another car. Let me drive. Nope, he refuses. Rain has changed to heavy snow.

Got home alive. He went to bed for nap 🤦🏻‍♀️. I went walking, in half rain half snow, to get my steps in. Now my back, where I got the spine shot hurts, so putting ice on it.

And received my Amazon delivery. Bought a badge to sew on Bella’s harness, DO NOT PET, HANDLER BITES. 😂😂😂
