~I Called~

Well I called the Dr and filled her in on all the poopyscoopy.

Explained about my BP monitor and my arm .. everything..

A few hours later Erica phoned me back..and said they are

calling me in the morning to start having a visiting nurse come

every day, possibly twice depending on what my pressure

is running.. Julie, the Dr, wants to keep a close eye on it..and

I guess having to have a nurse come again it will be monitored

better, I still would like to have my own..but then it may be ok its

just that its so high it wont register..it did that one time but it wont

do it again.. I even put in new batteries again that Penny only just

bought today..still reads EE...so its me or the machine... I wonder if

the nurse will be the same guy I had before... he was nice..well all of

them ive had have been really nice.

So- I told her my arm is only worse as far as the pain..today it has

been a real bugger.. just constant..and no place that I lay it will it

NOT hurt.. so Erica said Dr, wants me to see a bone dr..a ortho

pedic? no that's feet.. well what ever theyre called..and she will

make an appt and let me know or they will when my appt is.. This

is JUST what I knew.. Im gonna have to start draggin my butt to

all these different Drs.. This bone guy,, then watch..the next is

gonna be the cardiologist..then the next will be the vascular..so..

I know the routine.. I don't like it one bit.. If they could all see me at

one time I would be extremely happy.. I do worry tho..in all honesty,

If I said I wasn't or not concerned then I would sound kinda..well..

stupid.. and Im not.. I can take chances.. I have to take care and

do what Im sposed or this fat lady will be singing too soon and I

don't want that.. I see me at at LEAST 90 years old STILL giving

everyone HELL.. :-D.. I saw this old lady on TV they called her

the fruitcake lady and bless her heart she had an opinion on every

thing and it was logical and made sense.. she was so cute and

just really funny.. some of the questions they asked her it was just

hilarious.. She used to be on one of the late nite shows..jay leno

or somewhere.. now I cant see the early shows let alone late

ones.. I fell asleep really early last nite..I bet by 7 I was snoozin..

AND.. we have RAIN today.. do you know how badly I prayed for

rain today? I DID.. all I kept thinking about is that they are coming

back to pound and bang on the roof again..they only have half done.

Lori saw it today when she was here.. so they will be back.. By the

time they left Friday nite..I was at my wits end.. I felt like I was losing

it.. I couldn't escape that pounding.. drove me nuts.. when I woke up

this morning and saw the rain.. I was so glad.. I was..what a relief...

Lori came today with great news.. she got married Friday nite..to her

boyfriend of the past 4 years.. hes from Canada but will be moving

here. Shes so happy. shes working this week then the next two weeks

she will be off and going way up by the bridge to camp out ..shes so

looking forward to it.. camping as in TENTING.. which..well I don't like

tenting..trailering is ok..tents in bear country? no..Im NOT at ease..

I hope she has a good time.. Shes so happy and had a lot on her

plate too with getting married and her leaky roof.. I will miss her..she

comes faithfully every monday..the boys were waiting at the door

for her.. she really likes them and they like her..

Penny came today and made the best meat loaf for me.. It is just

great.. I LOVE meatloaf..my fries n gravy are first..then meatloaf..

My ex mother in law would make what ever we wanted for a dinner

on our birthdays, of course I picked meatloaf and poppyseed cake.

boy did she make some excellent loaf and cake..that poppyseed

cake was so good.. She was amazed that I wanted something so

easy to fix and not some elaborate thing she makes.. or something

that takes her hours to fix like my ex had to have lasagne..which

takes a while to fix.. well if you want GOOD stuff... I enjoyed that

meatloaf.. I had the ground meat in the fridge and asked her if she

would make it for me..im sure glad I did..I will have some of the

best sandwiches tomorrow..cold meatloaf..little catsup on the bread?

yessss that's good stuff Maynard.. ...

Im tired.. I worked hard today too.. well not really hard..strenuous..Im

clumsy in the morning and I dropped the coffee grounds again..thank

goodness was not hardly anything in it so it didn't make a mess..The

other I had to clean up ..well Dutch eats too fast and too much some

times and he throws up..I know "eww gross" well he did during the

night and I got up to potty once last nite..I don't turn the lights on ..thanks

to Pennys garage over there..well when I got up this morning was still

dark..I turned the kitchen light on ..and going back and forth across the

white floor I have I saw I left tracks..I looked at my front wheels..well

they have grooves in them..the one on the right at one spot on it..well

was NOT the greatest thing to see stuck all over my wheel..and being

spread all over..I had already gone to the bathroom..so Im tracking

this all over the kitchen too~! well I wiped up and I got most of it off

my chair..but I couldn't stay bent over like that for any length of time..

well I got dizzy :-) ok DizzIER.. :-) so Penny, she dug it out and

cleaned it all up for me.. I just have a daily reminder I think that I

am in this chair.. the tube of cream..Penny did finish getting that off

all the stuff down here I couldn't reach.. she laughed at me.. when I

described what happened as I saw all that cream just SHOOT out

and all over everything.. I told her I just sat for a minute . counted to

ten and said "WELL SHIT".. I did.. I couldn't help it :-)

Im posting a bit early..and going to lay it down for the rest of this day..

do you see the date? its almost September.. I told Lori today..well

these days just FLEW by this year..said time flies when your having

fun...well hmmm I didn't see them days very too much.. I sure missed

a lot this year.. oh well Im making it through it..that's the main thing..

its the hardest thing..but well where there is a will there is a way..he

hides on me sometimes..but I find him again.. Thanks for all your

sweet concern..Not to worry.. all is well..just a little extra care time..

I aint done yet are you kidding? nope too much I have to do yet..

and one is saying "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya.. and thanks :-)

Always, Lois ****
