Gentle posts for gentle folks

Apologies, not been around much, just browsing really. Got similar problems to others on here... not sleeping well or long enough. Aches and pains etc. and generally feeling very tired/weary. Oh well, this will pass.

Recieved a reminder for dental check up yesterday, not in the mood to see dentist just yet so chickened out and made an appointment for July. Should feel in a better frame of mind by then. ;)
 
Good Morning Kaila and Friends,
I too have not been around much. Being busy with house projects but mainly worried about Elsa. She is scratching and licking herself a lot. I am unable to find the source of the problem. I saw the vet who gave her a cortisone shot and put her on meds. The shot worked but not for long. The meds did not. I changed her food, litter, took all the plants out of the lanai as well as all the carpets. Still no change. I hate to see her suffering without being able to help her. This morning I am going to call a new vet in town to get a second opinion. She seems to have a great resume with a feline specialty. I hope she will be able to help her.
Wishing you all a wonderful day.

Oh @Rossana , I hope Elsa will be ok soon! Let us know please?
 
Well it's nice to wake up to a sunny morning but as usual ,it's going to turn into clouds later on today it's been such a cloudy rainy month here.

it's great to hear from everybody and I hope you're all doing well, @Pam you put off that dental appointment I ...hope you don't get pain until then!

@Kaila how you doing? Where are you with your physical therapy are you winding down or Still need more? I need more. He might be coming today honestly I lost track of the visits If it's not him it's my nurse and my occupational therapist is due to come I don't really know what she's gonna do for me but Its company.

Last night my son and my daughter in law were here well, it was afternoon; they took my laundry, he went up the road to the mailboxes and got my mail. And there goes my phone....

That was my nurse; she'll be here later.

I took 2 pieces of spinach-ricotta pie out of the freezer. My DGD in law made it.

Have fun today Friends.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. 🤗:coffee:🌻

It is Tuesday morning and I have had early morning therapy. It went... okay. My therapist said something that upset me and I didn't like her reaction when I explained why I was upset. But we talked through it and I felt better about continuing the session (it was really upsetting, what she'd said).

At the end of the session, she apologized for her comment and talked about her desire to continue the work we've been doing.

I feel okay about continuing as we have been doing good work and she has had good, actionable advice for me in the past. Her comment was a major goof, but no one is perfect and she's been good until now, so I'll continue.

@Rossana, sorry to hear about your Elsa not feeling well. It's hard to watch them in discomfort without being able to help. Hopeful for you in finding a new vet who can help.

@RadishRose, hoping things go well with your upcoming visits from your nurse, Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist. Good vibes. :)

@Kaila, how are things going? - Psst. My team won in the game we watched last night! Woot, Baby! 🥳 🏒

Coffee

Hope you have success with new vet for Elsa. This reminded me of one of the dogs I had many years ago, he was scratching, licking etc. It turned out that fleas were the cause, even though he was on regular flea treatment (drops that you put on the back of the neck) but the vet said in his case it wasn't enough. He was given tablets to take once a month alongside the drops and it did the trick.

Anyway, just hope the vet can sort out the problem whatever it may be. 🤗
 
Good morning, @Kaila and co. Slept much better last night although still not long enough. . Weather forecast is for light rain this morning, sunshine this afternoon, we shall see. Yesterday heavy rain was forecast for this area and all we got was light drizzle followed by sunshine late afternoon.🤷‍♀️

Am expecting a delivery today, nothing exciting, just some more small stones to put in my plant pots plus a pack of trivia questions and a new pack of Old Maid cards. We already have one pack but they're so dog-eared now that it's time for new ones. The old set have a slight tear on the Old Maid card itself - which I can't see clearly but everyone else can, hence me always ending up as the Old Maid. This new pack should put a stop to that. :cool:

Other than than, nothing planned. Youngest son is away with partner and grandson this week so I won't be having my usual visits from them but I will have Rocco arriving in a couple of hours to keep me company. 🐶
 
Good Morning, Kaila and Friends 🤗 :coffee: 🌻

It's raining here today so puppy and I will get wet on the walks. ☔🐕‍🦺

Hope everyone has woken (or will wake) feeling good this morning.

(I was going to post a picture that read, "Good Morning. Make great things happen today," but that seemed like way too much pressure. 😶‍🌫️ )
 
Hello lovely people.

It seems to be getting cloudy again as usual but no rain is expected.

@Kaila you're making great things happen today Well that's good I hope you enjoy yourself today and not get too exhausted

@Pam you made me laugh when you described the condition of your Old Maid cards. I just threw away a pack of Uno cards. Nobody's played with them in years. I'm glad you have Rocco for company.

My physical therapy guy just left a little while ago. I shocked myself.... he asked if I wanted to try just walking with the cane And I walked all over the place with it, plus I got up off of the chair without holding on to anything three times. My biggest thrill today was that I walked upstairs.... of course he walked behind me. I was thrilled to see my washer and dryer again! I went to my closet just hanging onto things like the dresser and the wall and I took out two tops that I wanted and he carried them downstairs for me.

Going downstairs was a different story. I was absolutely terrified, but he said I did very well. Okay so now I'm done bragging for quite a while.

Spinach and ricotta pie again for breakfast. I've had enough of it. Took a small container out of the freezer for supper. I don't even know what it is! :ROFLMAO:

I hope everyone has a good day, have some fun, a few laughs and be safe.
