~Dr. Day~

Well today was Dr day.. I was there at 10 and didn't take long..

It took longer to fill out the 8 pages of papers they handed me

when I got there.. That took forever.The nurse, looked so much

like my Dolly it was scarey.. She was identical to Kelli.. I told

her so too..Even Penny noticed... Her name was Brandy tho,

but she said she had a sister named Kelly...she was really nice.

She took x-rays and its not broken... thanks be for THAT...it

does have some infection..but there is no spur or anything..
The Dr, who by the way is young and handsome as can be,

and just as very nice.. said I have to quit bumping it.. it has a

spot on the end of the elbow..and its sort of like bursitis.. He

gave me some steroids to take for the next 5 days, if its not

healed up he said then I would have to get a shot into the

elbow.. or he could give me another dose of these prednisone

stuff for another week but then if it doesnt heal up that he will

have to put a needle in there.. He did say not to worry he has

a man that makes his needles for that and he makes them

special just for him, not to worry.. Well I am NOT going to get

this shot. .It WILL get better :-) I hate needles worse than I

hate carrots... He suggested to get a arm pad for the elbow..

just to protect it.. I bumped it again yesterday.. I get in a hurry

and I forget they stick out when I back up or get to close

to something.. I have to be more careful cuz I just don't want

to have problems with it.. He was concerned about the rash

tho and the discoloration. He said he will send a report to

my Dr at the clinic. which how much good that will do I don't

know.. ANYHOWWAY.. my arm is NOT going to fall off.. its

just very painful and he said to just wait till these steroids

kick in and hopefully the pain will be gone. They are to help

get rid of the pain..the pills, and to help with the rash too

according to what the paper said that came with them..

My caseworker from DHS, Julia, came today, I thought she

was coming tomorrow, I had just gotten home and she knocked

on the door..She is going to see about getting some elbow

guards for me and another grabber.. They are just too hard to

carry from room to room and if I get another I can have one in

every room and that will sure help me a lot.. Then I wont have

to go and search for it when I need it in a certain room.. I really

don't need one in the bathroom but the others I do... She took

down all the new info and didn't stay very long..was a short

visit.. Tomorrow Heidi comes. For not knowing a lot of people

I sure seem to have quite a few caseworkers etc that come

by all the time.. I havent seen Theresa in a week so I am sure

she will be here tomorrow I think..hmmm I need to call her and

find out if she is.. since Heidi will be here at 10...Busy Busy..

I know that I am tired..seems it has just been so hectic today,

Penny here at 9, Curtis to pick me up at 10, back at 11 and

then Penny went to the store..Julia at 1130, then Chris the

lunch girl brought lunch..which is ok today, boiled cabbage

and sausage, then Penny came back from the store.. And

Donnie is due here any time.. I have had a busy day.. I don't

mind it though..Today went so fast.. well every day seems

to just zip by anymore.. It seems the more months, and years

that go by the time seems to go faster and faster... I had a

miserable night last nite..I need some new pillows maybe,

I don't know... but I was up and down all night,, I just could

not find ANYTHING comfy to lay on.. pillows or nuthin.. I

sat up and laid down so many times I looked like a jack in

the box I bet if someone was watching me :-)

I did call and find out if they might be having a tour that's

going over to New Buffalo to the North Winds Casino over

there.. I sure would like to do that.. I went to the one in Green

Bay many times as my friend Nadine was a black jack dealer

there.. I read about it and it sounds like it would really be a fun

and relaxing thing to do.. I don't necessarily want to just play

the slots.. I love those things.. but I would like to go to a nice

dinner show..that I would like... Now all I have to do is find some

one to go with me.. THATS the hardest part...Poor Chris the

lunch girl, I asked her if she was going to the fair..she said "No,

I don't have money for the fair".. I offered to give her 20 dollars

so she could go.. every young person needs to go to the fair..

Bless her heart she refused it.. She said she couldn't pay me

back. I told her it wasn't a loan..to take it and go to the fair..

She still refused it.. She is such a sweet thing..Very nice.. I

will offer it to her again.. I think she really wants to go.. I hope

she does.. Id like to go and see the bull riding.. I love that stuff.

I watch it on TV all the time..well when I can stay awake to see

it that is.. :-)

What I see now is my kitchen for a light supper, probly a PB&J&

nanner sammich then TV and bed.. I know I probly shouldn't even

turn it on I know I will go right to sleep.. another busy day tomorrow

too.. Life is so good.. I love it.. and y'all..Thanks for coming here

and reading about my wonderful GORGEOUS life, and those that

take the time to leave me a comment..well thank you so VERY much,

It means a lot to me to know that someones interested and reading

my 2 cents I put here every day.. Thank you.. I sincerely appreciate

all of you.. "Nitey Nite" :-)

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

Always, Lois ****
