Years ago, after I'd dislocated my kneecap, a doctor looked at an x-ray and said, "what's a joint like this doing in a nice girl like you?"

I got a flu and a SPIKEVAX! yesterday and they didn’t hurt and I didn’t bleed at all. Wild! My arm does hurt now and I’m still waiting for other side effects to kick In but I’m very impressed with the person who gave me the shots.

I am so thankful for each and every one of you, and I hate, hate, hate, that so many of us are hurting so badly, and have been for so long. And I can't help but think how much worse it would be without each other to lean on.

So very true. I'm so sorry for your loss, Karl.

I lifted the lid on recycling and started to shove some extra bags in and managed to catch the edge of the lid directly into the wound.

OUCH! Let's try and not do that again.

My follow up to confirm the meds are working is on Friday and it is hard to believe that 2 days will be enough time for it to actually work...

I don't know how long it takes for them to kick in, but I've found my doctors have been good with self monitoring. My BP sucks at the doctor's office, but is fine at home. He has me bring my machine with me and if it reads the same in the office he is good with the self readings.

Current conundrum: how to pay the trash pickup bill since I don't know our acct # and JZ's card that she used for autopay is expiring.

I hope you get through on the phone, but they may email when they see the expiration date approaching.

Also I discovered that my under the sink jug of bleach was leaking....y'all it ATE A HOLE THROUGH THE CABINET!

Yikes indeed! I wouldn't think it would do that.

Did I mention that Tim was going back to work this week?

I hope he takes it easy. I did see the x-rays, and even showed my sisters! I can only imagine how uncomfortable he must have been. Very impressive results there. Does he have PT for a while?

Still in construction mode here, but they are doing such a great job. I have pine boards on the walls and ceiling and they are matching up the boards perfectly and beveling the seams and it is just perfection. Of course I still have exposed insulation and wires hanging out all over and a bunch of other in progress stuff, but eventually it will be awesome.

He had PT at home for the first 6 weeks, and now he's started outpatient PT -- I'm not sure how long that will last. He's walking a lot as well -- usually 2 walks a day that are each 20-25 minutes.

Bwah!

usually 2 walks a day that are each 20-25 minutes.

That's great! What an ordeal. That was some serious surgery.

In case you didn't know, there's going to be an emergency alert done tomorrow, so every device will go off at once. Brace yourselves.

I have a FB Memory from 5 years ago today about an emergency alert. I had not heard about the one tomorrow, so thanks for that, Todd.

Good luck getting the meds, t!

Thank, meara! By the time I got to the pharmacy they were ready, so I am back on my regimen with a full bottle. And I found out that the Covid boosters are available at the drive through flu shot thingy, although I figured that out after they had closed for the day but maybe I can take care of that on Friday.

It always strikes me as weird when there are obstacles to paying your bill. You would think that would be the one thing that would be made so easy you could almost do it accidentally.

Hugs and love to everyone.

Trying to get yourself and your kid ready for the day when you’re both overstimulated and anxious by the workers who are tearing the roof off your house is not fun. I finally got ltc to school and got myself a chai latte and egg bites and now I’m hiding at the library until the workers leave.

Thanks on the heads up, Todd. We had so many alerts the last couple days for the abduction of the child upstate that everyone is still on edge.
