You probably do not yet have that riser seat you ordered? I have been thinking about you and wondering about it.
I hope that one will work well for you, and I hope you will tell us. I have seen a couple of different types. So if it doesn't suit you, you might try something else.
 

I am a little behind right now because my neighbor stopped in to talk for a bit. He had stuff to talk about and no one else was around so he came here. He is nice so I sit and talk a bit but then I have to catch up with everything I was planning on doing. I did go for a walk earlier, out to the corner and back, Just needed the fresh air and some exercise. I am trying to walk as much as I can (which is not very far, maybe a block and back) when the weather is nice. Now fixing chicken fingers and doing the bunny cage.

I think it is supposed to be here on Wednesday. Yes, there were a number of different styles but the spot where the toilet is is narrow, between the wall and the vanity. I think it should work.
 
It's 10 am on a Friday... just like yesterday or the day before or the day before that... but wait!
TODAY some excitement! I am having a gas insert placed into my wood burning fireplace. I'm sure "we" have many opinions here about what is better to burn but I am soooooo looking forward to not having to storing wood, chopping my own kindling, tracking wood chips, dirt and critters into my living room! With the cost of $150-250 per cord of wood here I am bowing down to the convenience of clicking a button and presto... clean fire and warmth for the damp winter here on the NW Pacific coast!
 
It's just after 10am, it's pouring with rain.... and my car isn't in the garage, apparently the rain is going to stay on at least until tomorrow. The postman is due any time now, so after he's been and I've signed for my package I'll put the car away...

I fell asleep on the sofa last night watching tv and didn't wake up until 3am.. stumbled my way to bed, hardly aware of my surroundings, and of course this morning when I got up, I had to tidy the livingroom and kitchen because I hadn't done it last night as I would usually .. so there was me at 8am this morning tidying, dusting, and vacc'ing... that's not good for my soul.... :ROFLMAO:

No actual plans for today.. just see where the day takes me...
 
Today is the day of the thumb. 1pm

Stitches to come out of arm and few still in thumb. Then the surgeon's big decision on how graft is doing
since he saw one month ago. The nurse who has been doing the dressing says the grafting is 'marvellous'
Scabbing is all off and smooth and pink so may go down in the medical book as a success. Woohooo..

You're well on your way to good healing, happy for you, hope it keeps going that way.
 
I need to get some (business) work done this morning. Am also working on my Christmas in March grocery list for Sunday. Now that Omicron is on the wane, we, our three kids, and their families are finally getting together as a group. Indoors, no masks. Yay!

Not a traditional Christmas menu, in case you're wondering. Going to set up make your own spring rolls at the table, which is always so much fun - and so delicious! Plus it accommodates vegan, vegetarian, keto and gluten-free diets.
 
Nothing really special today. Just little jobs I needed to do and got done today. Got the "riser" for my new toilet and put it on the toilet so now I can be comfortable on that thing. I went out to the dumpster and the wind was blowing so hard I had to hang onto my walker tightly. That is a good sign actually. Wrote out my monthly budget sheets. My brother called me this morning and almost knocked me off my chair! Happy to hear from him!
 
Well I motored to Tallahassee today First checked out the “fine arts” museum on the FSU campus. Ummm…. Underwhelmed. Next some shopping on Market St…. Overwhelmed (paperweight for 350.00? Throw pillows for 100.00? Too rich for my budget!)

before going to hotel 30 min south of the city, get some supper. A Lebanese restaurant had looked promising on Google, but it’s been a while since the site was updated, I guess. Restaurant closed. So I’m eating gumbo at a Cajun place. Maybe tomorrow will be better
 
The Thumb is not good news...
The graft is good but cancer is still there so I need radiation
More waiting for appts
All for now....:(
I am so sorry to hear this. One thing I will tell you as I was told by Nurses and Doctors during my Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments is always to stay positive. Being positive and surrounding yourself with positive people and things you enjoy will help.
 
@Mizmo
That is very disappointing. You've already been thru a lot of time and difficulty with it. You'd had to wait so long....:cry:
But, as Signe says, we do know that you are strong and can go forward, and we are all thinking of you!
And it is very good that it hadn't waited any longer than it did, and now, there is less of it. You did a good job with your part, and your perseverance, in going to doctors repeatedly regarding it, and then, finally your decision to go forward with this doctor you did, and having that surgery scheduled asap, so that part and those steps have been done.
Onward, now.

Finished planning lumber for my door trim, and mounted new tires on my free mower I found on FBMP. Have about $150 in it and it works great. Around $6k new.
