What are you doing today?

I did some critical listening to some of the songs for my next album. I want my son to do a compilation of clips for me to post on Soundcloud so I can share them here. He keeps me to a strict minute per clip so I had to decide the start and end points for each song. I straightened up a bit today. I had a brief visit with my granddaughter. My son brought her over before they headed to Atlantic City to take her back to college, but first she was due at work by 2 p.m.

I napped a couple of times today, talked with my BFF who caught a cold from her grand niece and is feeling pretty crappy. So now we won't be able to meet for brunch before she returns to Florida. :( I also "face timed" with my son via Facebook Messenger, watched a bit of T.V., played ball with our kitten and cleaned up the kitchen. It's almost tomorrow so I'm going to play a couple of games of Words With Friends before taking it down a notch.

Well, I went and took my shower. Getting ready to stitch up some clothing, so can wash it and be ready for next week. I've tried those iron on patches, they just don't seem to bond well.

This is how it was done decades ago.

So, you know the plastic sheet that covers the dry cleaning? You cut a piece of that slightly larger than the patch. Place the plastic on the sheet, then the patch, then a piece of brown paper from a grocery bag-cause the plastic is slightly larger than the patch so the plastic sticks to the paper when the paper is removed.

Then you iron it, forget exactly how long, but not long. Obviously until the plastic melts. The excess plastic sticks to the paper. Now I make no guarantees as I learned this process in college, decades ago, in sewing class. I would try it on something you are planning to throw away. Be careful don’t burn the paper. Then you have a different problem.
 
Finally read the actual reports on my DVTs. In my left lower leg my femoral, popliteal, posterior, and peroneal veins are all involved in the blockage with little movement in them. In my arm, which they couldn’t fulling exam because of my pacemaker surgery, the distal brachial vein is blocked.

I am going to look for a vascular surgeon on Monday.

Finally looked up what to do about my broken tooth. I need an oral surgeon, not my dentist. This leaves me with only one upper molar. Might as well have it pulled and get a plate.

Husband continues to not talk to me. Why he continues to think this is a “punishment“ is beyond me. I really don’t feel like talking 😊-especially to him. He actually thought I’d continue to due all the housework despite all my current medical issues and pain. Poor thing has to take the trash out and do the few dishes. He won’t do anything else and the rest can wait.

I am mostly walking on my treadmill as my leg won’t tolerate much walking now due to the cramping. I need to figure out a way to play my computer game since the new section has been released. Otherwise just watching tv.

I was going to try marijuana for my pain-at my sons prompting, had the appointment but cancelled it. By the time I get the license, and find the right medical marijuana that controls the pain, I probably would have already died.

My chances are 50-50 at this point. 🙄. I decided I just don’t feel like messing with it

Aneeda I can imagine that you might not have the mental energy to go through the motions of trying something new to help with the pain, but it's probably as well to do it, you may hit on the right one first time, and you'll not be in the pain you're in now..

I am also just so dang mad. It was my doctor and her partner who put so much pressure on me to get the second pacemaker. I realized I just can not go in and see her. I might not be able to control my mouth.

I wanted to switch doctors, but again, my son was against it. Says not a good time to do so in a medical crisis. Plus I am stuck with the same stupid cardiologist office as well due to my insurance plan. When I saw the PA that morning and told him my neck and shoulder were hurting he said I needed an MRI of my neck.

I finally googled everything today. Neck and shoulder pain after pacemaker placement are a common sign of a DVT. These doctors are so stupid. 🤬
 
On my early walk around 6:30a went to store,bought Bflo News& Sat WSJ
It was great not to have to wear boots, since a majority of the snow we got last weekend has melted,temp was 40,slight breeze

I had no other plans probably get in a couple more walks

I am very aggravated today. My husband and I have been having stomach issues for the last few days plus having colds. We had to cancel Thanksgiving plans. I honestly wanted to go because we were invited to my SIL's sister's house. My SIL's Dad passed away 2 months ago so I really wanted to go, we didn't want to spread the germs. My daughter has been picking on me but not her Dad.Why Me !!!!

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Flowers for you.
 
I wish I could be helping @Owlivia this week, ;)
to paint door frames, and clear out geraniums and eat cornbread. 😁😄☺️

I thought I was the only one who would finally, today on Saturday, manage to help bake one holiday treat, that I had wanted to do, for the past few days, but I see that @Ruthanne also finally made the stuffing, today.:giggle:😁
Yum, I love stuffing (and turkey, etc) but none of those, this year.

Still, this morning, my helper helped me to make the 1 pumpkin pie, which we are planning to taste, soon. Very simplified recipe, but I was sad to discover we didn't have some of the ingredients, but we made it anyway, and it looks home-made and at least eatable.

Very sorry for all that you are going through, @Aneeda72
I wish you had better medical care.
Many of us could use that too, for sure. Sending my caring to all of you who would like some.

******

@Owlivia Just want to tell you, that I refuse to help you to clean glitter! :LOL:

And @Ruthanne Baked sweet potatoes? :oops: That sounds great!
I will put those on my list for next groceries!

Re-usable grocery bags are great but I gotta watch how the cashier is filling them... She put the three liter-and-a-half bottles of water + a 1/2 gallon of milk in one... too much for my back. On a positive note, got ingredients for cheese and spinach-stuffed portabello mushrooms and will try that for supper tonight.

It's fun to watch how the different trees turn colors around here and over what time period. The bradford pear trees are just getting beautiful in multiple autumn shades and all the japanese maples decided this year to go cinnamon-redhot candy RED. Cheery and beautiful!
