Happy Friday, all. I managed all my errands during the week and my house is sparkly clean, so it should be an easy-breezy day. A nice day ahead weather-wise.

Might get a jump on sketching out my business ordering, but I'm delaying placing most of orders until May 10th because I don't want to be wrangling 50 or more big, heavy cartons by myself.

DH is getting a lumbar epidural (lower back) back today and will have to drastic limit any lifting activity for a couple of weeks while it takes full effect.

Hope all can make today a good one!

I've had that several times in my lower back... they stopped doing it after a while because the effects lasted for shorter and shorter time...

Today has been just a glorous hot sunny day...it's like the middle of summer instead of April. It's still sunny and warm now at racing towards 6pm

I met up with my best friend for tea at this riverside place which is a favourite of ours... after I'd been to the waste & recycle site, and dropped off some metal things...

Then we drove to the next large town, and had our cars washed and valeted... and while they were being done we went shopping.

I bought an artifical triple ball tree similar to this...

... and a large Clay pot..... I got 2 new Table lamps as well... to replace ones I've had for many years.....altho' the old ones are still in very good condition, I just want to replace them to match in with new decor...
From there I left, and went and got some groceries from the frozen food warehouse.... and on the way home I stopped off at KFC and had 2 chicken drumsticks and Ice cold coke...... delicious !

All of this took in 4 seperate towns and long drives between each... and my hip was fine.... bearing in mind I drive a manual car

Now if only I could get my hands to stop being so sore....

Hubby is lined up for radiation treatments.

Have to Google where eye doctor is located.

Had stopped at Amish store on way back.
Mentioned to the Amish lady that we would stop in more often due to appointments.

She said ,, which can be taken 2 ways. "Good health is wealth."

Hope everyone has a nice weekend .

I hope to more flower gardening done.

Good health is wealth.

I like it. I’ve never heard it phrased like this.

That's been his experience, too. This go-round his pain management doc used a fresh MRI as guidance.

He injects a combination of kenalog (steriod) and contrast into DH's back while DH lies on a special table that projects images of the contrast onto the screen in real time. That way the doc can make sure the steroids are reaching the intended targets.

Eventually, DH will probably need another back surgery (he had one in 1989), but he can avoid it for as long as the kenalog is effective.

The lidocaine hasn't yet worn off in the injection site so he's still feeling pretty good. He did say he'll be feeling pain from the injection later today through the next several days.

Was your hip injection experience similar?
