Am taking advantage of the crap weather today (i.e., 40s with an onslaught of rain predicted for this afternoon) to get needed computer work done. Just fixed a nice lunch of crabcakes and am now back on the computer doing a bunch of updating and backups. Later this afternoon, I plan to give the new hamburger press a whirl and put some patties into the freezer. Am looking forward to the rain, though. We need it.

With so much covid talk these days, we really haven't been hearing much about our weather problems, we certainly need the rain here too...
 

Thank you for sharing......One more gal welcomed to the " Broken Body Club "
Yes, through a life of injuries....possibly because i/we thought we were super women.
I for one, did a lot of heavy work, landscaping, the 28 years on the farm till 2016, was in my super woman mode, so i thought, all that has come back to haunt me, but did i ease up......nope.....when i moved into town, landscaping again, i'm not complaining, i just love it.
But my body doesn't any more.
Take it slower.......really need to work on that.....but i don't think i'm alone on that...am i.
Sometimes us females have to do things for ourselves. Plus, we enjoy some of those things, like you said.

We just have to make better choices. Example: I painted an outside garage door yesterday. My neighbor helped get me started......then he tells me I should prob paint my fascia board up there too. ha...ya right, get up on my step ladder. and paint. No way!

I will hire someone.
 
Drizzly, cool and cloudy here.. lazy Sunday. ... Took Lil'Bear for a walk in his new designer raincoat this morning.

Then I gave a call to my 'Granddog' Buddy, who is turning 98 ( dog years) today. He's a labrador retriever that is 14 yrs. old now.
They took him on a camping trip during spring break last week .... I think he slept most of the time, but he still likes to go places with the family.
 
Luckily, not my rotator cuff...ouch!

It's my humorous....(sp?)...haha, not funny.

A gentleman at PT says he's been going for 6mos so far. I think the doc is just trying to get it stronger before doing surgery
Not humorous whatsoever. PT meaning, physiotherapy? That’s smart. When I went to get X-rays at the hospital, the doctor said I should get physiotherapy and I didn’t. It something I regret. Good luck with your injury and operation.
I wish you the best.
 
Cool & rainy here today also but still went out for a pleasant walk. We just put coats on the dogs and took umbrellas. It was still nicer than I expected.

Now cleaning up a bicycle dog trailer. It was winterized in our shed so was a bit dirty.
Then I’m going to organize my clothes.

Thank you.

If you have the chance to do what we call physical therapy again, I guess it's the same as physiotherapy, do it.
It's so beneficial.

In fact, when my time is up for the doctor's script for the therapy, I'm going to continue going. $50 a month, and they'll
continue to work w/me and strengthen my body.
 
Today I did this, did that and finally decided to take an afternoon nap. My leg has been hurting for a couple days, I started getting sharp pain in the middle of the front of my lower leg plus the calf that’s been hurting.

I sit up, reach down to rub the spot, and feel a bump. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I consult Dr. Google. Yup, he agrees, a blood clot. Wake husband up, who is taking HIS afternoon nap, and tell him we have to go to the instant care. I may have a blood clot and it is nothing to mess around with.

See the doctor, who also thinks it is a DVT. I have to go to the hospital for an ultrasound. Off I go to the ER, tell them I need to check in as an outpatient, and get the test. All goes well. I am having the ultrasound when the tech says “there are two”. Hmm, two blood clots?

Two spots, a smaller one under the larger one. Can you have two blood clots? Cause I Think they are blood clots. Yes she says but I do not know what it is, but there is a smaller spot. Ok. Finishes the test, goes and sees the vascular doctor on call, and tells me he will get the results, and call the doctor at the instance care, and she will call me at the hospital, so answer the phone when it rings.

😧. This can not be good. I have never had a doctor call me at the hospital, in the hospital room to give me results.

I get the call. She does not want to talk about the large swelling I felt, none of them mention it, even though I ask. They want to talk about the small soft tissue solid spot that they found. Not good. Not a blood clot, not a fatty tumor, not a cyst, not an infection, not anything that they can put a name to and tell me what it is.

I hit the nail on the head, and ask “Is it cancer?”, she replies I can only tell you what it is not. I want to wait till the official report is done. I will call you later. She just called. The report is not done yet, she will call me tomorrow when it posts. Meanwhile call my doctor in the morning. Get an appointment to see her. Any changes, at all, come back to the clinic right away. 😳

You are going to need a CT scan and probably an MRI as soon as possible. 😧. Well, definitely not taking a trip to Texas anytime soon. So, hurry up and wait to see if it’s nothing or if I have cancer in my leg. Lovely.

I say to my husband “where’s that package of gummy bears I gave you?” I eat the gummies. Then I eat a shortbread Easter cookie, (got them for my son), and a roll with butter for dinner. A few of my favorite things to ease the pain in my leg and the anger in my brain at yet another medical issue that I have to deal with.

And, of course, now I am mad at myself for, once again, eating my pain and anger. I am still in pain. I am still angry. Anyway, that’s what I did today. Felt sorry for myself and overate a bunch of crap. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ 😢

So sorry for what you're dealing with.......as if you didn't half enough already.
If it's any kind of comfort to you, if i was close to you, i would be helping you eat a whole bunch of crap.
Take care.....be good to yourself.

Sorry to hear this Aneeda..look after yourself 🌷🌷
 
We have spent the last 3 days trying to reduce the stuff in the room we called the computer room. We had a desktop puter there for the last 15 years. My little Chrome Book, pooped out on me. So we bought a new Chrome Book and it is very nice, however DH fixed my old one and I decided to use the old one because it is smaller. So the desktop needed to go, it was so old and soooo slow, so with the desktop gone we no longer need the desk! That meant cleaning out the drawers and the overhead cupboards. Then we have several plastic drawers we cleaned out all the unnecessary stuff. plan to sell the desk (its really large) and we plan to throw in an adjustable chair. Then we will move the queen sized futon in and it will become a guest room. It was originally a bedroom, so we have to start calling it the guest room. I'm so glad it is over. A friend is going to come and take pictures and put them on the local buy and sell on Facebook. When the desk is gone, I'm going to have to move book cases before the futon.

OK now you asked what I did today, so its all your fault.
 
On my early walk at 6:50 it was a tad nippy 34,hasn't been this cold in a couple of weeks
This morning, will be calling Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are doing.Its been a yr since I've been calling them from home,hopefully in next couple months our office will reopen.Its located in back of local Jewish Temple,they haven't reopened yet
This afternoon,my close friend Marcia is taking me to get my 2nd vaccine shot.I'll be happy to get this over with,then in a couple of weeks will be able to start hugging my friends who are fully vaccinated.Marcia&hubby Dave will be the 1st ones I'll hug
 
First day of freedom for Brits in months... and it's a glorious sunny day today too... . People have been allowed to congregate at the beaches .. meet up with one other household in gardens or parks.. tennis and basketball courts have opened, and outdoor swimming pools too... ( I love swimming but there's no outdoor pools near me )

needless to say they're packed out, what with the children on Easter Holidays too... but I can't go anywhere until it all settles down. Hopefully this won't cause a 5th surge and we get closed again before the grand re-opening on the 12th.

I've been out just exercising in my garden this morning.. and I just put the washing on, . came downstairs after cleaning the upstairs inside windows only to find the stupid washer leaking all over the floor... :rolleyes:..had to clean that up...

Tomorrow it's going to be hotter still so I'll get out and take some Spring photos from the neighbourhood..

Look at my Lilies, they've grown a 1/3rd bigger than this time last week, they're now about 2 feet high ...just took this photo this afternoon

Got my follow up appointment today at the docs office. Not ready to return yet. Still having a rough time. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. I figure I can afford to miss a paycheck or 2 if I have to since I haven't been spending hardly anything.

I gotta drop off my rent money while I'm out. If the doc writes me off for another 2 wks I'm gonna come home and try to take a nap. Try being the key word.

Lovely holly. Our daffodils and tulips came up, took one quick look at the cold weather and decided to wait a bit longer. On average we're about a month behind you though the wild wood anemones are starting to show their little faces
