What are you doing today?

[Aneeda72]

Joey was released from the hospital today. He girlfriend visited him in the hospital last night so he was very excited to see her. She was very worried about him.

He has bleeding hemorrhoids, a possible bacterial infection of his stomach (waiting for test results); and may need some medication changes. So glad he is back home!

As for me, saw the cardiologist, 11am, and pacemaker is doing fine-YAY. Me not so much. Still lots of pain, the wound is seeping but not infected My right shoulder has dropped and is painful. He believes it’s not related to the pacemaker but something is worst in my neck and I wii need an MRI after I heal. The joy of old age.

Then, 3 hours later my right forearm swelled up.

I called and this is related to the pacemaker, but it’s holiday time. . So I am to watch it, I have another appointment Monday with the cardiologist. However, if it swells so much it’s uncomfortable I am to call. But, , they can not see me because they are now closed for the holiday.

Aren’t you all glad you are not me?

Yeee haaa. Chevy is now Matador Red. Will un-tape tomorrow and see If I can get the seats in. Still haven't decided what wheels to put on it. Have a couple to try.
Now, I need some sleep.

That's fast! I know guys who would take a few years just to paint the thing.

Having a bodyman brother helps. that meant the 2 of us could seriously burn the midnight oil on this baby. While brother worked on taping and such, that allowed me to assemble the engine. Even taped up, it shines so bright (Can't wait to see how the chrome sets it off) and that's put a huge smile on the wife's face as it's been a long time between 57's.

I got the Christmas tree I ordered today. I'm still working on making it beautiful. I've been fluffing the braches out to make it look full. I put it together and it was easy. They said you need 2 people in the instructions but I did just fine on my own.

It looks nice and I just ordered tinsel and ornaments. It will look way better after I dress it up. I haven't put up a big Christmas tree in 20 years and my dad was still alive and visited me.

I really love pretty Christmas trees so I thought I'm putting one up and just for me to see the beauty. Going to do more things that make me happy.

 

[Aneeda72]

So. Unable to sleep.

I am very excited about Comcast “free week”. Few programs on Starz I have been wanting to watch. Finally, sat down to watch one. Got up to go potty, and walking made my leg really hurt so dropped the sweatpants looked down.

Holy Crap.

Leg swollen. Arm swollen. Hmm, Off to ER, meet up with half the valley. A few babies with RSV I am sure. The usual jerks who refuse to wear masks while coughing their lungs out. And the minute you stand up someone sits in your chair. Hour and half wait.

Finally in a room. Wow, yup your leg is swollen, and your arm. IV inserted, blood tests taken, ultrasounds performed. Course, I already guessed the outcome. It could only be one thing. It’s now midnight. Doctor comes in, almost breaking his arm from patting himself on the back.

I‘ve never seen two of them at one time he says. I think maybe I should get a copy of the films and sign them for him. I’m a star. DVT in right arm. DVT in left leg which is 2 1/2 it’s normal size and hurts like a mother.

We can assume, doctor says, that you have several small blood clots in your lungs but we are not going to go searching for them. Hmm. Oh, good. Wouldn’t want to search for any more blood clots, he might be overcome with joy.

If I had a gun I’d shoot myself in the head.

So very glad I got the new pacemaker, which didn’t give me an infection, yet. It did however come with multiple blood clots. .

Started on blood thinners. prognosis is not good.

It's raining hard again.. whaddya know... ? . completely forgot to put the recycle bins out last night, and got woken up this morning by the bin truck.. accch..too late!!

I had the worst nightmares ever last night..I have some whoppers but my goodness this was evil... I can only put it down to the Booster Jab. My arm wouldn't let me sleep on my side, and so trying to get comfortable through the aching, and the nightmares was hard so ended up with only 3 hours very disturbed sleep..

Arm is hurting much worse today..didn't have this with the last jabs..oh well it'll wear off at some point,.,.. feel a fraud moaning about a jab and a nightmare, after Aneedas' awful health experiences..

 

[Capt Lightning]

Hollydolly, Sorry to hear that you and Aneeda have been having a bad time with one thing and another. Forecast is for another showery day here, but we have to go to town for a couple of things. I'll drop by the coal merchant on the way back for some smokeless fuel and a bag of potatoes.

 

[Georgiagranny]

@Aneeda I'm thinking positive thoughts for you, and I'll be thinking them until you post that you're better!

@hollydolly Maybe it's not the booster. Maybe it's something you ate

@Jaiden Doncha hate days like that? Everybody else can go away from you, but you're still stuck with yourself!

It's very warm again this morning and is going to get to 67F today (maybe). We're supposed to have a rainy weekend. Fine. I'm off tomorrow.

Time to make the croissants and stuff.

 

[Georgiagranny]

@squatting dog When you're done, drive that 57 down here. I'll be glad to be its foster mother forevermore. And red! Yay. How soon will it be on the road?

 

[hollydolly]

@Aneeda I'm thinking positive thoughts for you, and I'll be thinking them until you post that you're better!

@hollydolly Maybe it's not the booster. Maybe it's something you ate

doubt that broccoli, mashed spuds, meatballs and sausages could give me such horrific nightmares..

 

[hearlady]

My daughter's family is coming today until Saturday.
They have 2 girls 5 and 7, and a 5 month old boy.

 

[katlupe]

@Aneeda72 Glad to hear that Joey is back home. Hope he heals and improves. So sorry about your issues with the pacemaker. It is one thing after the other for you. Praying you will overcome this soon.

I have a doctor's appointment in Binghamton (43 miles away) today. And afterwards stopping to pick up a few things at Walmart. Should take my whole day.

I hope you all have a nice day!

 

[Sassycakes]

Since I opened my eyes this morning my husband has been picking on me and complaining to my daughter about me. I had an ear Dr appointment today that I am going to cancel. He has been yelling at me since 6 am. I am canceling the appointment because he has to get an injection in his eye today and shouldn't drive after the injection. Now my daughter called and said she would leave work early to take me. She works at the school that her daughter goes to and drives her to school and back so she would have to take my granddaughter out of school early. Why can't my husband just shut up?

Happy Joey is doing better.
Holidays over a patient, not good.
Hope everything gets under control soon.
TAKE EXTRA CARE.

You are having to go through far too much…..my heartfelt feelings are so with you.

I’m so sad that you are subjected to such hurtful verbal and emotional attacks.
My heart is with you……wish they would STOP hurting you..

 

[MickaC]

It’s going to be another beautiful day , just like yesterday, sunny and got to +2.
Spent some extra time outside.
Today is going to be a repeat, +4.
I’ll finish a couple of things I didn’t get done yesterday, due to being so nice out, going to take in some of Mother Natures good mood while it lasts.
Full recycle bin to the curb this morning.
Some laundry to put away, from last nite.

 

[caroln]

Today I'll be making a cheesecake and a jello mold to take to my daughter's house tomorrow. And then on turkey day, I'll be making the gravy. Funny...no matter how many times I show them how, it seems no one else can figure out how to make these things!

 

[Jackie23]

I got a lot done outside yesterday, it is raining today. I've been having pain in the bottom of my heel for weeks, I think I'm going to give up and make an appointment today with doctor.

Oh @Aneeda72 …. ((Gentle hugs)). So sorry dear lady

 

[RadishRose]

Going to make a cranberry-jalapeno-cream cheese dip to take to DS house tomorrow. Never made it before, but will give it a try. I saw it on YouTube.

I’ve made this…..it’s YUMMY…..I’m not a big fan of jalapeños, but, I really like this dip.

Sounds like plantar fasciitis. I had the same thing and got to the point it was very painful to walk. A guy I know had the same thing and he went to an physical therapist and got some foot exercises to do which cleared it up. He showed me what to do and now my pain is also gone, but it took a few weeks. No surgery required. They do like to push that surgery though!

It's 10 am on a Friday... just like yesterday or the day before or the day before that... but wait!
TODAY some excitement! I am having a gas insert placed into my wood burning fireplace. I'm sure "we" have many opinions here about what is better to burn but I am soooooo looking forward to not having to storing wood, chopping my own kindling, tracking wood chips, dirt and critters into my living room! With the cost of $150-250 per cord of wood here I am bowing down to the convenience of clicking a button and presto... clean fire and warmth for the damp winter here on the NW Pacific coast!

That is great! I am going to be doing some food preparation so we will be traveling to some kinfolk to enjoy Thanksgiving.
