Good soggy morning from our liquid sunshine area. It's so dreary and grim outside. It would have been a great morning to sleep in, but, alas, that wasn't to be. I've got PT and OT coming shortly. Glad they're coming to me and that I don't have to go out in this rotten weather.
Kathie - I don't know what you saw or thought you saw, but I was not on the computer before 9:30 this morning. I definitely was not on Facebook until just a few minutes ago.
By the way, you can stop worrying about me making the whole Thanksgiving dinner. M&J will be taking care of some of the sides. I'll just do the ones that are my specialties, especially sausage meat stuffings and cranberry sauce.
Dave - Your experience in the ER sounds very similar to mine. They would come at me in all directions working to get my O2 level up asap. I need to stay away from the sodium due to high blood pressure. Funny part is that with meds I tend to have low blood pressure now, so go figure. I still have to take the meds. Starbucks coffee in the hospital? Wow! They were bringing me decaf - YUCK!. Instead I would just order hot tea instead. At least they couldn't mess up a cup of Lipton tea.
Lee - That was a quick post from you this morning. Did you go back to bed after Ava's walk?
Bill - Good luck with the CAT scan and with possibly getting another cortisone shot. Bert is still having some pain in the groin area and he thinks it's from his hip replacement. I told him to go to urgent care or the ER and have an x-ray done, but, of course, he won't listen to me.
Karen - Sounds like a super party for Wendy's birthday with the whole gang gathered. That's wonderful that they can all get together at the same time. That just doesn't happen around here, unfortunately.
Time for news from the hood ... Remember a few months ago the spool house next door was sold to some people from Argentina? They gutted the inside of that beautiful house, painted the kitchen cabinets (which had been dark wood), put in vinyl tile throughout the house, switched up the locations of some of the first floor rooms and painted the inside (which really didn't need it). Well, guess what - The house is on the market for sale!!! Only difference is that they paid $704,000. Now they are asking $960,000.!!!!!!!! That's a 36% increase in 6 months. Looking at the pictures of the interior, you can see that the house has been totally staged with all generic furniture. We figured out that these people are professional house flippers. That's how they can afford to buy expensive houses, put in cheap upgrades and then flip them. Can't wait to see if someone actually comes close to paying that kind of price. Wouldn't help us though, as we don't have a pool or big lanai like they do, plus our house is 1 story. We'd be lucky to get half that amount.
Ended up having a nice surprise yesterday. Wesley & his girl friend came over and fixed a charcuterie board for us. I fixed the caprese salad. Missy came over after work as Jimmy is working out of town this week. They devoured everything in sight! Plus Nate made mac 7 cheese for himself and Jennifer and they never save me any!!
After running around between the doctor and another stop and then having a house full, I was so ready for bed last night.
Now I just have to wait for these two therapists. One of them I had over a year ago, so it's nice to know one of them at least. They should be here soon, so I better get this posted before I forget. Have a safe afternoon, everyone!
