The adjuster showed up a few days ago, super nice man, looked it all over, wrote me a check that day. Wow. He added on a lot more to be sure everything was covered! When i told him my new sewer line was right by the tree, he even added on 200.00 just in case i had to call the plumber to fix a leak. Everybody is asking,,, " who is your insurance company?" lol.
The tree service came yesterday and cleaned it all up, totally. They even cut a broken limb down out back and took it too. They left about a 4" stump, because of the sewer line. I hope a tree will grow from the roots left. Gosh, i really need a shade on the West side. I'll get pics later today.
Went out to nephew's for a bbq for his daughter that just graduated. Lots of people, lots of food. Pork, beef, chicken. YUMMMM.
Still in pain all the time if i move. I can limp along carefully, and do what i have to. Not seeing the doc until 7-7!!! The MRI is 6-24, and whatever is needed, let's GET IT DONE!!!
My son's leg has improved enough that he walks on it with a brace that is adjustable, and his body brace. He is driving too. Carefully. Still have high hopes that leg will go back to normal. He's doing therapy, on his own. The one he was sent to was not the one he needed. Or so he said.
I told BB he had already named his cat,,, Damn Cat,,, DC for short. Remember that movie from years ago?
Well yall tc, and

Tree's A Problem
My bro said he wasn't about to touch it. If it's cut in the wrong place it will fall against the house and do more damage. Got a call in to a tree service,,, mercy!
Talked to my insurance company and they're gonna go ahead and send someone to survey the damage. I'm hoping i can get my deductible absorbed by one of them.
Just got the call to schedule my MRI,, 6-3. Now, if i can just do it. Swore i'd never do one again, now here i go. Well, gonna try.
I think the heat is on the way. No rain in forecast, 90s coming up. That tree made a lot of difference, shaded the west side. Really hate it's gone.
That's all i've got, folks, Just not much to blog about.

Wind Damage
Slept thru this, but when i got up during the night, i could see some of it. Thot it was just a big limb blown off. News said wind gusts of 61, 60 mph. Hate losing this one, shaded almost the whole west side of the house.
I called my insurance company and was told to go ahead and have my bro look and do an estimate. He just now showed up, been in Ausin, and said probably not much to fix it.
Don't even know how much it rained,,,, lol.

Quick Update
Nailed it. He put an ephidural into the bottom of my spine so it would go upward and cover several disks, and it has....Almost immediately. The first 2, over a period of 2-3 years, in the hip did the same thing, but,, not this last one. Had to be into the spine. Eventually the openings on the spine where the nerves come out, will close up enough, it will take more than these blockers.
We've been having heavy rain most of the morning, so glad. We've missed the heavy stuff before this, and this area is where it's needed to refill the lakes.
Just now seeing the amtrac derailment on the news. Wow. Really bad. Up around your home area, DD.
Cleaned my ceiling fan this morning,,,,YUKKK, Why do i wait too long? I run it on low during the winter to push the heat down, then medium all the other times. That thing has run since i moved in here, almost 14 years ago.... good one, huh?
It's been cool enough, i dug out my fleece robe again... hahahah, just got it washed and hung. Feels darn good too.
Ok,, know these are boring, and no one except DD reads them, but there it is. Thx DD.

How Time Flies
Been quite a while since i posted. Been in pain most of the time, but seeing the pain doc tomorrow. Dreading it, since i'm using the bus, and those seats make this hurt. Gonna take a full hydrocodone for it,,lol. I just take a 1/2 normally. Sure hope he does that ephidural? injection into the spine, and it works. There was talk of an MRI, butttttt........... how in the world am i supposed to lay on my back for any length of time?
Still don't have that thing that goes around my head to sleep with. I just called and was told they would get back to me and set up an appointment... MERCY!!!!!!!!
My son's leg is getting better every day. He's been home about a week. He can lift his foot about 5" from the floor now, and put a little weight on it, holding on to the walker. His back is fine!
Well, we finally got a little rain. All that forecasting, missing us, then about 4:30 it started this morning, rained hard for about 20 minutes and quit. I finally got up about 6 and then it came again. Maybe more later. Just heavy rain so far. Worst thing, supposed to do this tomorrow when i go to the doc.
I'm still putting off getting in the shower. Hip and leg haven't quit hurting today. Guess i'm gonna have to take more pain med.
Need to go to the grocery store, and just can't make myself do it.
Ok, this is why i'm not blogging much, soooo boring! Yall tc, and

More and More Appointments
So tired of doing doctor appointments!! These last 2 made me miss my nap, NOT GOOD. Hadn't realized how much i have to have my naps.
I thot i would have to do another sleep study, but,, Wednesday, my doc told me it had worked great, and i didn't quit breathing once, wearing the first one i had that nite. It stretches around my head and goes into my nose like an oxygen hook up. And the oxygen hooks to it. The second one i tried, i couldn't do, smothered me. It was a mask type with an air flow so strong, i couldn't breathe with it. I'll get it in a week, had to be ordered. Next appointment,,,, 7 weeks...lol
Then yesterday, saw the one here about my hip, which he told me wasn't my hip, and nothing could be done! WAIT A MINUTE!!!,,, A person can't live with pain like this. He is gonna talk to my pain doc and see if he can put an injection into my lower spine, which he thinks is the problem. Meantime, barely can walk, pain goes down into my foot, making it so i can barely use it. (son told me that's how his back had done). Just do something, somebody!!
Today, i'm sitting as still as possible, taking pain pills with THEIR side effects, trying to recuperate.
Son has been in rehab for about 10 days, and is coming home tomorrow, even tho his leg still won't work. They told him it could take several months, and the blood clot was probably what did it to the nerve. He's the type that will overwork himself on therapy to make it work. He'll have a wheel chair, and maybe crutches. And maybe a leg brace he thinks would help a lot. His back is FINE.
I need to go to Walmart in the worst way, too, BB, but just don't have it in me yet. Got a new prescription for my glasses i need to check out there too. Even some shoes maybe.
I swear i heard a cow outside this morning. lololol. I didn't get up to look, (told ya, sitting still). There's some up the street about a block.
My neighbor's mad at me for asking what was wrong with her 3 lb yipping yapping dog... hahahaha. They're the worst. She told me she was gonna trap my cat and have the city pick it up for disturbing her.... HA. Not my cat... lololol. But now, she shuts that (*&^$#Q dog up. How can people stand their own dogs, doing that???
Well, i know it's not much but yall tc, and

ANOTHER One
I talked to my son about 7 one nite, and the next morning, find out he had to be taken back to the hospital for emergency surgery! OMG. His wrist where there had been an IV tube attached had gotten really infected, causing his hand to swell up huge, and him to run a high fever. They cleaned it out and put a drain tube in, and by the time i called, he was fine. He's still in the hospital, waiting to go back to rehab. His leg is still not working, and he needs the therapy to be able to come home.
We actually got some rain yesterday. It was just a good steady rain, for about 4 hours. I went over to my bro's house and we all sat out on his patio under the metal roof. Wonderful.
Gosh, gotta go back tomorrow nite for that sleep study again. (my LAST). The doc's office called last nite about 7 !!! to change my appointment to see him. Never had that happen before.
The crawfish thing this weekend was pretty much rained out til about 7. There's a huge golf tourney, huge roping contest, plus the crawfish. It's the first time it has done that in all the years they've had it. Of course, the ol CofC had to get involved and start putting up fence, in our CITY PARK, to keep you out unless you pay to get in. I quit going years ago. All i wanted was to hear the reggae bands anyway. I think all they've had this year is country.
