Yard work and later going to Friday fajita special at the Mexican restaurant.
DH is back on for radiation treatment in May. Yesterday the initial look at PET scan yesterday was good but official results come in this afternoon.
One thing: The reason new tests were ordered is the Dr thought she saw something and she did. Cancer has spread a bit into adjoining vessel. That result added hormone therapy to the treatment but otherwise it is the same course.
Can't find emoji for fingers crossed. 🙂

Hoping for the best outcome for your husband.
Take care, both of you. 🌷🌷🌷.
 
Welp, the lady from therapy just left....was here an hour and
asked hundreds of questions, as she input the info on a
laptop, then after that asked more questions and put info
on paper, then had me sign and she left.....therapy to start
next week...tho I still don't know what it will consist of.....ah well....
 
Today I was thinking about an old friend of mine who came to visit me this morning. It's the first time she came to see me in my new house. After she took a tour of the house she asked me where my Mom's Capodimonte lamps were. I said I honestly don't know. She said, "What do you mean you don't know." I said when my Mom passed away I made all the Grandkids go to the house and take whatever they wanted. She told me I was a fool because they are worth a lot of money. I was shocked that she said that to me. My parents were the best and the memories they gave me are worth more than all the money in the world.
 
Got around 6 shots of something, I guess cortisone, which was infused in the back of my neck. I carry a lot of tension in my neck & shoulders. I alleviated a lot of the pain a week ago Thursday when I had that "incident" and ended up screaming my head off. Now, I feel even better. It's like the weight of the world is on me, felt like Atlas.

I have a really fabulous pain dude.

6 shots ?.. that's a lot !

I used to get Cortisone shots in my lumbar region.. worked for a while, and I'd get them every few years.. then eventually they worked for less and less time.. until eventually they weren't working at all....but I do remember the relief when the absolute agony is taken away...
 
Maybe it was four. My nerves were tingling so much it was hard to tell & I was lying down with my face in a hole.

Sometimes I find myself so tense, all muscles clenched. I don't know how to relax. I think that makes everything worse.

that was the problem I had when having my back done. They expected me to lie face down, but anyone with lower lumbar problems knows it's excruciatingly painful to lie face down.. so they always had to put me out to give me the Jabs

yes it does make it worse. I find that even now with any other pain. It's natural instinct to tense up when the pain is bad, but you must do your best to take a deep breath and relax as much as possible when the pain strikes anywhere.. it really does help...
 
Hello. I only skimmed the posts (geez, there are at least three pages since I posted early this morning!). Hugs and prayers and good thoughts for all who need them.

It's been a day. I worked alone today.

First, our New Hire from another department starts full time in the bakery next week. Yaaaaaay! The first week or so she'll probably work days.

Next, starting next week (our week starts on Sunday), I only have to work 6-11 instead of 6-12. More yaaaaay!

When I came home, it was rest time for DD and relax time for me. I spent an hour digging more weeds. Yup. It's how I relax. And digging weeds is sooo satisfying!

Then we went to the garden centers. I got two more perennial salvia plants and three more Gerbera daisies. I didn't *need* more, but they're lavender and so pretty that I couldn't resist. The salvia and daisies have been planted already.

Also bought a ligustrum shrub to fill in a wonky space between four others. Didn't plant it yet because first I need to dig out the remains of a small peach tree that died last year. I'm tired of looking at the stump.

When I was puttering around out there, I noticed that the three lovely lavender plants that I've had for years were apparently attacked by the miserable freezes we had during the winter. Geez...I barely survived the miserable freezes!

Oh...that picture of the garden shows green between the beds. It's not grass (and not weeds!). It's a ground cover called blue star creeper. Really pretty when it blooms with tiny little blue flowers. I like it because it doesn't mind being walked on.
