Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

I have accomplished a lot the last few day. Directed the husband to rearrange the living room, looks great now and has a much better flow. Moved stuff from his study to his bedroom. Rearranged the study. Got a lot of pictures hung. Supervising is so tiring.

Cleaned and sanitized the kitchen and living room, living room socially distanced as much as possible for turkey day with son and girlfriend. Today is payday for husband and shopping day. Pick up most of the stuff for turkey day.

I need about 3 lamps for the living room. Some more screws for picture hanging. Various other stuff. A bit excited to get out and about since I mostly stay home.

I knew my energy would rub off on you eventually ... :sneaky::LOL:
 

I went for my capsulotomy follow-up to the ophthamologist. He promised me last week that there would be no charge. When I went to sign in, the receptionist asked for a copayment. I stated that the doctor said there would be no charge. She responded "If you're here, it's an office visit and there is a charge." I protested and she said she's ask the doctor when I checked out. When I did check out, she said she "read it wrong" whatever THAT meant - as long as I didn't have to pay. I tell you, this place needs some communication development skills.
 
Lowe’s has a lamp with a paper shade that is 21 dollars. I bought one a while back, and now have bought another. Then I bought a multiple colored multiple light lamp for over by the computer work table which was 26 dollars. Then, the most expensive, a table lamp combination to put at the end of the sofa. I might need one more, we will see.

I have a long kind of narrow living room and only had one lamp. Got a long cable for the tv from Comcast, was free. Bag of bread ends from Kneaders, and got the juicer from target. Oh, a small picture of bluebirds. To cheer me up. 😍. Ok, off for groceries.

Are the docs offering any treatment options?

Not sure at this point. Arthritis in both thumbs was diagnosed very bad last year. I continue using them and because of constant activity has allowed me to continue, but because I tend to know what motion is very painful, and because I use a lot of different tools that generate a lot of different vibrations, allowing the introduction of carpal tunnel to set in, chichis dramatically slowing me down.
I have a virtual zoom meeting set for Wednesday of next week with my Hand and Upper Extremity surgeon on Wednesday of next week, so I should have an answer then......thanks

Please update us after your zoom appointment.

I have osteoarthritis in a few of my fingers; they're sometimes very painful, other times merely unsightly.

I feel your pain and hope you get some helpful direction.
 
Yes, I accomplished giving Jasmine's home a very thorough cleaning and most of all under the tray-she is molting so there was a lot of tiny feathers to scoop out. Also vacuumed up all the feathers and seeds and crinkly toy parts. I also set up her new bath:

Now I'm hoping she will come out and hop up to it and take a bath. She didn't like the other bathtub I had so I got this one for her.
 
We went to the next major town and picked up a brand new oak TV unit , which someone was selling on FB marketplace, and had never used.. Got it for a fraction of the new price, but boy was that heavy to try and get into the boot of my workhorse of a car. Good thing my husband is strong and the other guy was willing to help . This is for my daughters' rental when she gets back to the UK.. we thought we'd fill it (the rental) with ''collateral damge' furniture ; because at this point we have no idea what house she will ultimately buy and what will fit in it.. so no use buying good stuff until we know what she'll end up with ultimately

We went to have a KFC.. a brand new outlet on a retail park.. and as we sat in the car in the car park eating, a bloody great Rat cam up the side of the car near the KFC litter bin and began a fight with a Magpie.. *ugh*... disgusting!! :eek:..

They do say Rats are coming out in the daytime now much bolder due to hunger, because of the lockdown no food litter is being thrown away at night after the pubs close etc..

That's so nice of you to get those things for your daughter. I'm sure she will appreciate it.

Yes, the rats get hungry, too, they do hang around food places.
 
My friend,Mary told me she was going back to Kohl's because what she bought on Thurs didn't fit,did I want to come,'Yes'
I bought 2 "four in one' hoods to wear over my face when it gets really cold outside this winter,the xmas gift card for Alexei.What a difference 2 days make,the line moved quickly.I mentioned to the cashier about being there on Thurs,line did not move at all.She apologized,'we were a bit overwhelmed'. I was out of there today in 15 min
 
I bought a new lamp table combination at Lowe’s yesterday. 80 bucks. But the lamp has a brown shade, yuk. Went to target today after taking kid home, and bought a white shade for the lamp. Much better. The house is painted light grey with white trim.

Got bagels and cream cheese, we haven’t had bagels in about a year-so good. Then to the bakery for two loaves of sweet bread for Tday. Son and girlfriend are in quarantine, as much as possible, so they can come over and eat 😀.

Then we had gift cards for Sees candy and the store only had 3 people in it and no line outside so got Tday candy. Got a couple things to pick up next week, but we are all set otherwise.

I bet those 4 in one hoods will be nice to have with the cold weather coming! I bought a hood with a sort of mask in it last Winter. I wore it once and it sure did keep my head warm!

Well, stop. 😂 I am not supposed to be turning into you, you are supposed to be becoming a couch potato, like me, until you are better. I am worn out. My recliner is lonely without my butt in it. It’s been two days of shopping and doing stuff. I am sitting down and getting up for potty and bed only, and it is only 4:14 here.

I surely will. One thing I have been thinking about since my diagnosis, by the EMG doctor, Was that surgery which will most likely be the recommended solution. I'm not concerned about having the surgery, But.....Should I have it Now with the constant and increasing threat of Covid 19?

In my meeting with the doctor on Wednesday I wall ask about the long term impact of delaying the surgery. According to the EMG doctor the delay in the repair can result in muscle loss, that will not be recovered. But then there is the dangers of going into the hospital with even more exposure to Covid 19 with surgery resulting in a reduction in my immunity.

Any thoughts?

I am worried about this as well, but I’ve had two doctors, one I really trust, say it’s impossible to catch Covid in the hospital. I want my stomach fixed so as soon as testing is done, if surgery is recommended I am having it. Hope yours goes well.

If it's impossible to catch in the hospital why are 600 health care workers out with the virus or in quarantine from the clinic I go to.
