What are you doing today?

@StarSong,, what got me upset was when our neighbor told me about his bout of diverticulitis.

And I should be having BMs by the fourth day after it.

Nothing was mentioned to me as to when I should be doing that.

Plus husband & I take our blood pressure.
Mime has been low since the Diverticulitis attack

I do go in 8/25 to see the nurse practitioner,, will have lots of questions for her.

I thought I was eating & doing the 'right' things when this happened.
That shakes one up a bit to suddenly be in such horrible pain.
 

We had a thunderstorm this morning which terrified the dog. It was thundering so loudly that it shook the house quite vigorously. I don't recall ever experiencing that before. This house is a couple of years older than I, so I figured it would remain standing, so I carried on reassuring the dog and reading the forums.

Except for Doctors' appointments, today is like every other day, my Hubby is driving me crazy. He wants to go to the supermarket. I told him I would order the food and we could just pick it up outside of the store or even have it delivered tomorrow. Of course, he said "NO". Now mind you he isn't a teenager and can't walk well and has medical conditions. Did I mention that he has a head as hard as a rock?

I am trying to decide if I want to have a pick up or delivery made of all things I need. Nothing is urgent, so I think I am just going to have dog food shipped, cost is the same as the store, shipping is free. It is nice to have the choice isn't it, of three options?

without a shadow of a doubt, if the cost is the same and the shipping is free.. then you would be mad not to have it delivered... Wherever possible always save yourself any kind of heavy lifting..

I used to have my cokes, water, dogfood, canned goods and anything heavy shipped. Now they have started saying that the cokes, water, canned goods are not available for shipping. That aggravates me, I am a good customer and now they decide to limit options.

@Blessed, can you do pickup? At least it eliminates some of the labour. No tipping either, so saves a few bucks.

surely with pick-up she's still got to lift everything in and out of the car ?... That's what I hate.. the big bulky heavy stuff. Sometimes I get it delivered, but it's not free so very often I'll collect myself, but I take an insulated trolley on wheels to be able to wheel the stuff into the house from the car..

Yes, I can do pickup and do so often. I like to go in if I am getting certain produce or meat products. Let's face it sometimes we just don't want to leave the house. I liked having the heavy stuff shipped, comes right to the door, so I only have to move it once.
 
Made the old box of Jello and I must say it tasted really good after seven years . Ate almost half of it.

Decided to launder my duvet cover myself. Had help before.
Wow what a job that is for me now with the thumbless wonder hand and other ailments
It is queen size and the open end has 12 small buttons. That was great fun . Buttoned up my arm inside for four of the buttons, no don't ask me how I did that please.....anyway all shook up and in place .... moi included.
Then I had forty winks......sleeping.gif

You made the point that you needed to be bored before reading the list.. which would have widened your knowledge about there being more countries other than this one who drive on the left... so ergo, if you have to be bored before learning anything , and you're by your own admission 'rarely bored''..the conclusion can only be that you know very little.. END of this Topic!! ..before I put you on ignore!

You’re right for the end of this topic……some just don’t have a sense of humour…..because that’s all I meant it to be from the start.

I can only imagine the change it must be, missing your thumb, I’m sure, a lot of different ways of doing things.

What could possibly lead to that?

If I was ever banned from FB for even a week I probably wouldn't likely notice. I visit maybe once a month, and post something about once a year.

I hate that on my truck. Have you figured out how to disconnect it?

I go there every morning and put up a good morning to my family & friends. Then put up happy birthdays for whoever. I have friends on there that I went to school with when I lived in FL and never thought I would ever hear from them again. My cousins talk to me daily on there and if it wasn't for that site I would have lost contact with them except for seeing them at a funeral. I belong to several groups there and am active in most of them daily. So it seems I have a love hate relationship with that site. I have a ton of friends there and a lot of interaction with them all. As you can tell from here, I like to write.

I was banned because I commented "head shot" on a picture of a rabbit my friend put up on her page. It is wild rabbit that lives in her yard. She knew I meant head shot with a camera but fakebook did not. They said I was citing violence toward animals. When everyone who knows me and it is all over my page knows I would never harm a rabbit of all things.

Yes but the thing is the dam thing is still there and hurts like h*ll and I do everything as if it is there which results in some catastrophes especially in the dish dept.
I am seeing the head surgeon end of month for final check and will grill her about this phantom pain thing.
Internet has all sorts of theories but I would rather hear straight from the horse's, sorry doctor's mouth😉
 
@Mizmo I have both my thumbs and taking the cover off my weighted blanket to launder it last week was a b*tch. Getting it back on? Let's just say that it was worse.

About phantom pain...my mother was an amputee and suffered phantom pain in her missing leg for many years. There was only one thing that helped (according to her) and that was Bayer aspirin. It had to be Bayer. None of the pain meds ever prescribed helped, only Bayer aspirin. Go figure. Hey! Maybe you should try Bayer aspirin...

I worked today. I'm working tomorrow. Maybe working a few hours on Tuesday. Or not. It all depends on how it's going and how supervisor feels. It's a physically demanding job and for supervisor, brain-draining as well. Would you believe that they actually scheduled him to work alone tomorrow? Alone after being sick enough to be hospitalized and on bed rest for three days once he got sprung from the hospital. Oy.

Our student officially gave his 2-week notice today😢😢😭. Think his last day is the Saturday before Labor Day. Sure am going to miss him and sincerely hope that management hires somebody or re-assigns a current employee to the bakery. Just because I'm strong💪 as bull🐂 doesn't mean I can work like a plow horse 🐴 forever.
 
Yesterday was a do-nothing day of just resting and eating too much and goofing off all day on the computer.
Today I had a nice walk exploring a narrow trail through the weeds beside a stream at my current favorite State Park. I really enjoy exploring as long as there is a path ;)
Tonight I'm doing unplanned laundry because I had a sudden anxiety about whether I brushed through any poison ivy or poison oak on my hike. Hope I did not because of course the cat wound in and out around my legs right after I got back and I was petting and cuddling him after that.

Must have been horrible for your mother having the leg phantom pain.
I am allergic to aspirin so cannot try that.
I was told beforehand that I would have 'some' phantom pain for a 'while' and of course it has only been four months since the chop off.
Seems the brain sends the signal when the removed part is needed for action and of course there is only the nerve ending so that's how the mayhem starts. That's why pain meds don't work. Just something I will have to live with till I pop my clogs.:LOL:
