Up at 5:30 AM, as usual when watching DGS. He arrives between 7:15-7:30, so getting up early gives me a chance to have some coffee, handle any little chores that need doing, and check in with y'all.

Today is DDIL's birthday. DS is planning a special date night with her, so the baby will stay here through tomorrow morning. 💕

Have fun with the baby and happy birthday to your DDIL. :)

I read nonfiction on my own, and if I find something worthy (as I often do) I'll mention it to the group. Sometimes they're added as an option for the following month.

As I said, we generally choose 4-5 books a month. Big advantage - when I (and others) start reading something but find it tough sledding, boring, uncomfortable, etc., it's easy to simply move onto another book.

Why not start another book club that's centered around lighter fiction, or suggest adding a second book each month?

In my group, about six attend regularly, and a few others come when they can.

Thank you for the ideas. We're figuring things out as we go. I think things are going to get better.

Interesting to see how every group is different. I don't want a fiction book club. I don't usually read nonfiction on my own, but I listen to astronomy podcasts (in Spanish).

Yikes! It's the weekend already. That means I need to clean my bedroom, maybe today. If I do tear the bedroom apart, I'll have enough for a load of laundry.

Exercise. Talk to language partner. Then go back to bed.

@Medusa it would have been more fun if most of what I bought hadn't been just maintenance stuff! I got two lisianthus and some diamond frost to plant together. Purple and white will look pretty together. Too tired to bother with it this afternoon so will get out there after work tomorrow and plant it.

I've seen purple and white together in some border gardens and it's very pretty. :)
 
Thank you to @hollydolly and to @Jules
for the posts for me, and thank you to every one of you, who showed your support, to my recent post. I truly needed the bolstering, and you all helped me to feel that.

DH is okay for now, after a long appointment and will have more testing, next week.
I am struggling with multiple issues, yet I am trying to give myself some imaginary 'time off' from all of my medical issues and stressors.' :confused:o_O:rolleyes::unsure:😖
 
I'm gettting tempted to go to the E.R. with this rash
business...it is really driving me up the wall, so to speak...dunno
what kind of rash it is, but man it is terrible....burning/itching constantly, worse at some times than others....I've tried
several non-itch creams all to no use.....but guess I'll just
tough it out till my appt on wed.....dang.....😢
 
Hawky, sweetheart, please go to the ER. You've been trying to deal with this for a long time. You're really suffering, and it's just too much to handle by yourself. We're worried about you. Don't wait any longer, you need help now. Please go.

what did you have done, Wayne ?

Total new knee replacement after trying all the new gimmicks to avoid it.
Cushion jel
Steroid dose pak plus injections
I got zero improvements from all of them like NONE, lots of pain now, can't walk without assistance, can't drive. Just an old cripple here.
It was rough doing a small plumbing repair today but no leaks at all and all done.

Holly is right had both done 6 months ago. Doing fine or sort of. Glad to answer questions, ask here or pm me.

best of luck with yours!

ABob what would you guess is the turnaround time frame for some improvement, I have been told 3-4-5 weeks by others

No, after a few weeks the pain deminishes, but 12 to 18 months are required for full recovery. At 6 months I think I am at maybe 80 percent. It’s a long slow process, don’t believe anyone who says otherwise.

my knees are better today than before, just not 100 percent yet
