Living the Dream
Taking the wife to get her mammogram this afternoon. I don’t think she’s looking forward to it, but she had cancer and has to be done.
What are you doing today?

While you ladies were all having fun...I was looking out the window watching 'horse puckies' blowing around with this clipper...there are branches down but trees still standing...feeders all down but so far so good. We all made a clean sweep of the ranch yesterday before it really hit. I wonder how other areas fared. The sound of that wind is something else! Snow is supposed to fly about all day long...lucky us! A huge round bale was plucked down for the horses yesterday and a circle of horses emerged instantly.

Yesterday.....other than usual chores.....while Micki and Noah were outside.....
went through the big toy basket.....wrecked, broken, ripped, and boring ones, left the house.....what they don't know, won't hurt them......right.....we'll see.
Income tax call for 10 this morning.....because of the snow and wind last nite and still blowing now.....not sure if they'll get here.....but it does take a disaster before they'll cancel.
Missed posting my good nite last nite......was on a video call with my LOVE, was late, went to bed after.
Going to shovel snow off the deck.......pick up the pet food outside that the wind blew in......don't want my guys to have it, could be a cause for upset tummies......life being a dog Mom.
The door on the doghouse blew open, snow inside.....crap.....cushions full of snow.....will have to do that shortly before the snow melts.
Better go start this wonderful day......later.

The report is finally on line and I have, hmm, well, I don’t know what it is cause the report says, it could be this or that but further study is needed cause they don’t know what it is or what caused it. They did say its a hypoechoic tissue structure involving fluid collection which says cyst to me, but they don’t call it that.
The report mentioned it could be a hematoma, a seroma, or an abscess. I looked them all up and they are related to an injury or surgery and I’ve had no injury or surgery, so idk. It’s 2.88 cm. At least it does not seem to be cancer
. Although now there are two, so maybe a vein is leaking fluid. Waiting to hear from doctor but it’s a relief to know it can be drained or removed according to Dr. Google.

I am still nursing a sore arm from my surgery yesterday. It did not interfere with my sleep nearly as much as I thought it would, but it can "speak up" in a hurry if I move the wrong way.
My wife has restarted her weekly line dancing and was pretty excited to get out and do something different. We both had our second COVID shots over two weeks ago, and in theory can start easing back into a normal life. (Fingers Crossed)
Kaley my 20 year old cat doesn't know it yet, but she is going to see the vet for her annual checkup. She has hyperthyroidism and is on a prescription diet. She is my Zen buddy. Here she is laying unsuspecting in my lap right now:

@Jules How long ago and what kind of wheelchair was that? Manual wheelchairs that you can borrow in stores, hospitals, at airports and so on are often old fashioned models. They've gone through a lot of changes in recent years, lighter easier to fold and put in a car and easier to use. Medical insurance or state health systems often only cover the cost of a basic wheelchair so if you want a modern lightweight up to date one then you may have to pay for it yourself.
This is a modern manual chair
Electric wheelchairs come in all shapes, sizes, colours and so on. Some can even climb stairs. Again what your medical system supplies can vary. If you want an all singing all dancing model then it gets expensive.
This folding Swedish chair costs about 4 000 US Dollars
And one like this around 13 000 US Dollar

I use an old basic wheelchair, maybe twenty years old. Today I canceled doctor's appointment. Thought it unnecessary.
Had a good breakfast, a breakfast burrito with eggs, sausage, cheese, and maybe potato, coffee, a piece buttered toast
and strawberry preserves, coffee. I'm trying to drink more water, so I added a glass of water. The burrito was a small one.
Too many calories today but yesterday I only had alittle over eight hundred calories all day and I will have alight late lunch
and that will be a combination lunch /dinner s the big breakfast will notweigh too heavily.
i have a small house and find even a narrow wheelchair awkward.

Yes, I guessed that. Just to show you the different models and prices.

I hate being in a wheelchair but it is sometimes necessary. I hate it because my husband has to push it and acts like a brainless dolt when he does. My walker can be used as a wheelchair and that works better than my granny chair. I cannot push myself in a chair due the my brain aneurysm. I like that blue one

I walked over to the little market and bought my strawberries and chocolate milk for my husband. It’s bright and sunny but only 25 degrees so long underwear, warm coat, hat, and double masked off I went. But no coffee.

Made a doctor appointment so they would refill one of my meds. They hold your meds ransom so they can get you in a couple times a year, don't want that insurance money to go unclaimed don't ya know. I have a very low opinion of the medical profession at the moment, so I'll stop now. Don...

One of the things that they are doing that irritates me is that "wellness questions" baloney.
Yes I am old, but I did find my way here this morning so can we just skip this little short term memory stuff. It irritates me that they actually get paid for wasting my time like that.
oh trust me...most of us are probably right there with you on that one. lol! btw hello & hope you're doing well.

Actually, Pecos, they get paid for dispensing drugs, if you want anything actually medical done, you have to go to the emergency room or urgent care. If you just need a new drug or new to you drug, they're good at that *sigh.* Don...
