@Aneeda72 ..good lord I can understand your anger and frustration.. not only at the incompetence but the fact that you're in such pain... I'd be extremely upset too..who wouldn't ?

Thankfully if they mess up like that here.. and believe me they do sometimes.. at least we're no having salt rubbed in the wound by receiving a bill in the post ... :unsure:

Just a word to the wise.. we don't have moderators Per se.. on this forum... we have one Owner/ Admin.. and he works hard to make this forum work and keep everyone happy, and sort out all sorts of problems here..all by himself while holding down a job away from us old biddies.. :sneaky:..his name is @Matrix ... he's good guy but it gets very monotonous for admin when people have to be reminded to stick to the rules.. so don't piss him off.. :sneaky:

I've tried it twice. It doesn't do anything fancy, but it works fine.

The housework will amount to 5-10 minutes of swiffering. The snow shoveling is almost finished, so maybe 5-10 minutes there. (Whew! Worn out just thinking about it.)

I dunno if I already told you, but I have this treadmill..
c870x524.jpg
It's a basic electric treadmill... has 10 speed settings, a calorie counter , timer and a milometer .. and folds flat for storage, altho' I keep it up all the time or I;d never use it. It was cheap to buy.. about £400 new, from Amazon 18 months ago.. it does good enough for me..
 

Anyway, finally called back the surgeon who was supposed to call me back. Went through the same crap about getting Ultrasounds, gave in, said sure. Then I get transferred to a nurse who finally listens, sees I have had the ultrasounds, and says call us in three months if it still hurts and we will evaluate you for surgery then.

😭

Very similar to mine. I find using the treadmill is harder to walk on than walking outside, but I use it due to the snow, ice, etc. I put it where I can watch tv. But I can only walk on it for 15 minutes at a time whereas I can walk outside for 45 minutes at a time. I think it’s because even the slightest incline causes me issues.

No! No! No! That's not good enough!
Why on earth isn't someone listening to you?

it's the opposite for me.. I use it at home rather than take a walk around my area because I live at the top of a hill so walking means going down a mile long steep hill, and worse.. walking back up.. and my knee can;t take it. In fact I feel sure my knee was damaged initially because of the very steep hills all over Spain plus our mountain walking.. so I use the treadmill at home , unless I'm driving to somewhere flat , where I'll walk for longer..
 
Today I missed the postmen, who left a card to say he had a parcel for me.. Ordinarily this would be a simple matter of either going to the sorting office and collecting the parcel, or going online and getting it redelivered another day.. However.. because the postman ( royal Mail).. are on strike.. tomorrow and Thursday and several more intermittent days through December, the earliest the can redeliver is a whole week away.. :rolleyes:..so annoying !!

- I didn't make it to the post office.
- No sense shoveling today; I can't get out of the parking lot anyway, until the snow plow comes.
- The swiffering has yet to be done; I guess I'll do it, not a big deal.

I did manage to buy the meat. (They were almost out again!) I might make meatballs for the freezer. They're a handy and tasty snack.

so you didn't shovel snow.. you didn't go to the store... and you didn't do the cleaning.... ?

I take it all back... you don't get a Gold star today... :sneaky::ROFLMAO:
 
Well, went to see my friend Monday. He's doped a bit, took some goodies for him. On the good side, he's got caregivers coming out of the woodwork, furniture, apartment ready, health care aid and everything is covered.

He'll need rehab, someone was going to check with him on that. So he's going to have a few checking on his recovery. I'll just drop by every so often.
 
I wound up not being able to fall asleep until about 5 o'clock and woke up at 9. After breakfast I checked some posts on the forum, had phone conversations with my son, BFF and my sister. I was very glad to hear that our fur baby has not been acting up since I've been gone and allowed my son to get a good night's sleep. He contends she only misbehaves when I'm around. 🤣 After lunch I changed, took a walk on the boardwalk and went to the neighborhood market to pick up a couple of food items since I'm staying an extra day.

I went down to the resort's Shoppe after dinner but they closed early. The rest of the evening will be T.V., Words With Friends and continuing to try and catch up on SF posts.
 
If it wasn't for the computer I don't know what I would do. For the last few weeks, I have seen a woman in a commercial. I knew she was on a show I used to watch and her husband on the show was from an old show when he was a young man. I searched the computer for quite a while and finally found her name. She is Laura Linney she was on Ozark with Jason Bateman. Thank you to the person that invented the computer. And Thanks to my grandsons when they were 5 and 7yrs old who taught me how to use a computer.

They said I have to give it time for the blood thinners to work. 😳. Doesn’t matter how much it hurts. She gave me the same advice of taking care of my leg as I got from Dr. google. So, the cardiologist does not treat DVTs, and the vascular surgeon doesn’t treat DVTs.

I didn’t ask about my arm and hand which are swollen.

This nurse said have your primary doctor renew the prescription for blood thinners when it’s time. And ask her to do a CT scan of your lungs to make sure no large blood clots are there. Apparently no one really treats the dang things. And go to the ER if you can’t breathe. 😂

I think if I can’t breathe, it might be a tad late for the ER. Might need a hearse. 😳
 
I looked in the bathroom mirror this morning and was surprised to see I had a black eye. I had fall on Sunday and got three stitches in my forehead but could almost cover it with my hair. The black eye was new. I applied some make-up, put on a pair of sunglasses and went to breakfast because I didn't want to miss out on seeing some friends. I think tomorrow I will stay home and get some needed rest.
 
Awful storm here. Donner und Blitz und Regen, Regen, Regen!⛈️ It's pouring and expected to last another two hours. Eeek. We needed rain, but enough is enough.

Time to get my bony self together and get to work. The 🥐🥐 won't wait, and the customers will get snippy!
