My g/dotter drove me to F'burg yesterday, I got the injection and,,, I THINK IT'S GONNA WORK!
They deadened the whole path from the skin down, but at times I did feel the effects of the med going in. AND, it was the places that have been hurting. Just took a few minutes after the prep, then they stand the table up and I walk off it,,,lol. They said it would take about 72 hours, but it's already better. Now,,,if my shoulder was fixed,,,hahahahaha. The way I had to lay, on my back, made my shoulder with the bursitis really hurt. (they went in from the front groin area!).
We made a stop at HEB after we left the hospital, and I used an electric cart, took my time and browsed for quite a while. Got lots of great stuff to eat. One,,,jerked pork, already cooked. Got the slaw too, just forgot the buns....hahahahaha. Some lemon pepper leg quarters to cook with my convection oven. Some stuffed pork chops,,,making anybody hungry yet? I haven't been able to shop in months, at a good place, so I stocked up. These were all things I can just stick in the oven or already cooked. A small bag of potatoes, i'm good to go. Chunk some up, oil and season em, bake em,,,yummmm. Boil with an onion, another yummmm.
Can't keep that up, making me hungry and I just ate.
My g/dotter asked me how I could eat all that junk,,,lol. O,,, yeah,, I had just put 1/2 doz donuts in the buggy.... Sometimes you HAVE to fulfill that craving. Yep, had one yesterday.
That's the update,, yall tc, and

High of 73* Today???
Yep, that's what it is right now, almost 4 pm. And, we've had almost 3" of rain, and maybe more coming. This might beat the one I remember on the last week end before school started, a front making it really chilly. WOW, it's JULY!! folks,,,
Right after lunch I got a call, saying the man that put the gate up across the street, cutting off access to the river, was found dead in a house in Austin Sunday morning. She thot they owned the house too, and he had to have been alone. He was a huge man, alcoholic, and red in the face all the time, never looked healthy. But what makes me so sad, that's the last of the kids this lady had,,, having lost the other 2 before. Played bridge with her in the past, and even tho she's in her 80s, she is still sharp and energetic. Still does volunteer work at the library I think.
I'm gonna try to go clean the floor board out where my son's shoes left all the stickers last Friday. If I can find HIM,,, HE will do it! Hate those things. They showed up here a few years ago, now they are everywhere, grow close to the ground, look like clover burrs, but NOT. They turn into zillions of v shaped stickers and will fill up most shoe's soles. Your carpets will get full of them.
Nothing on tv, again.... but I did find 2 movies to record today. Was running out of those too.
Well, that's it,,,so yall tc, an

Hot Enough?
I guess it's not so bad, having to stay in, not being able to go anywhere with the dog days here.
I made it to F'burg this morning, and going back Tues for a steroid injection into my hip. They were overloaded and couldn't do it today, had to make the appointment. The doc thinks it's my hip, and told me if the shot doesn't work, I will HAVE to have that MRI. So yall cross everything, need that shot to work.
My nurse came by and got me signed up for the therapy and then he came by yesterday. But he was really late, 5:30, and I had this doc appointment today, that I asked him to wait til we knew more, and he agreed. I called when I got back and now waiting on him to call me.
So, that's it,,,nothing done yet, still hurting, having to take those pain pills, and don't know what it will take to get past this.

Phones out for Days
Wow, our phone service went out on Tuesday nite, and just got back yesterday about 1 PM. It's Verizon here, and a tech called this morning asking if my number was correct, so they're matching numbers with correct names now.... He said it was some kind of software crash, and they were STILL working on it, had been since Tuesday nite, 24 hours a day. I also asked if there was going to be some kind of compensation, and he said call in about that. I used all my cell phone minutes, even having to call 800 numbers, and had to buy more. All this side of town, N of the river, were out. THANK GOD, my internet stayed on. Takes 2 wires for phone, just 1 for internet,,,,in connection... was told that before. It's kinda horrifying how much we are dependent on these things now.
I'm no better nor worse,,, just getting by until I know what's gonna be done, and not even sure the doc will be able to tell me that on Friday. I DO have high hopes of maybe getting a shot in there to help, but he might have to wait and see an MRI report. The other doc, did fix my wrist with the injections, and there is no pain there now. He just doesn't do spines. As far as the therapy, between the phones out (doc's offices here) and my doc not in the office until Wednesdays, a holiday, last week was a lost cause.
Our forecast has a chance of rain, 30%, tomorrow. I'm keeping my hopes up. Not able to get out and water anything. Don't care about the weeds, but my trees are precious,,,have to have all the shade I can. In case you don't know, it's Texas. That means the weather makes liars out of forecasters,,,lol.
Think i'm gonna doze for a while,,,lol, nothing else to do. Did get a load of laundry mostly done,,gonna put in the dryer now.

Nothing New
Nothing has happened since last Friday. Thot I could call my doc here this morning, and the phones are out,,,was told they would be fixed by TOMORROW! 11 AM. Even 911 service is out. All this part of town and I don't know how much more. So my cell isn't helping in this situation. The doc's offices are out too. I check every once in a while, see if maybe it's back.
I figured out a way to help me sleep. That's by bending my knees and laying on either side. Somehow that relieves the pinched spot in my spine. Gonna try not to take that pain pill today. Might have to just sit all day tho. I was so hoping I could get that therapist here today.
I've looked all this up on the internet, but don't want to do something wrong.
My son went to the library yesterday and picked me up 2 books, and took my utility bill to pay. My sis came and cleaned my house and changed my bedding. She's the clean freak, lol. Washes her walls all the time! She said she had had a mouse get into her pantry, and had to throw out all that food stuff. Ended up trapping 3! Hope she got em all. She even cleaned my ceiling fan and omg, it needed it.
Ok, gonna try to cut my hair and shower,,,so yall tc, and

Not Good
No easy fix for me. I'm to see Js spine doc,,,lol. In 2 weeks. I was so hoping I could get something done today. He did tell me it's not bursitis, and thinks it's in the lower spine, why I have to see the spine doc. Meanwhile, i'm going to get therapy, and maybe that will help some, until we know exactly what I have to do.
I woke up last nite just before 3, hurting, and could never get into a position where I didn't, after that. I finally went to my chair, kicked back, and dozed for another hour.
We got back about 1;30, so I had a nap. lol, need another one.
TV sucks!! At this time of year. I haven't even found any movies to record. Watched one last nite even tho after a couple of minutes, knew I had seen it before. Then, most of the ones I've recorded, I've seen too.

Hard Day's Nite
I have an appointment to see the same Doc I saw with my wrist,,,on Friday at 11AM. J is gonna drive me. I'm about ready just to be put to sleep..
His new office is out on E 71 about 30 miles, and he uses that instead of an office here. I just didn't like that other one, and this one did fix my wrist great.
I woke up about 5 this morning, and couldn't get into any position that didn't hurt. I finally got up and got into my chair, kicked back and slept til 8.
After that big fire, and they're still getting calls to put out hot spots on it,,,there was another one the next day, not quite as bad tho. Then, one out close to my g/dotter's house and they're gone. No structures were burned, tho.
When I was in the 3rd grade, our house burned, and that leaves you always worried when you hear the call for the fire dept. The house was burned up in the attic, and people passing by, stopped and took everything out, so we didn't lose anything, but still. Well lost a place to live. We were renting so we had to find another place. I use all precautions and always have. One time, we were eating supper, and the fire alarm started beeping. I wasn't cooking, so I got up to look around, and when I opened my youngest son's bedroom door, OMG! A huge box was flaming right by the window curtains. You talk about everybody running! Hubby filled a pan and threw water on it, J grabbed a big towel, wet it, and threw it over the fire. And that's what put it out. It scared my son so bad, he wouldn't even sleep in that room for days. I still don't know how it did it. He had a candle burning, setting in a metal pan on top of the box, and somehow, the wick got out and caught the box on fire. Yeah, I keep smoke alarms. We had insurance that paid for the little bit of damage.
