Just a little bummed for absolutely no reason.
maybe the fact that y'all are fixin to have to go back up to VA in the cold etc?

Patty fell
Iffy does Patty lift
Patty's legs just give way
"Going down!"
Shifted weight(s) to left to avoid landing on her
Half way down left ham string says "Enough, you're on your own!
Oh man......check with your PT guy.....ask about portable lifts. There are a number of different types, he knows your home layout already and see if medicare/caid will pick up the bill for something like this, or other insurances, maybe each will pay a little. Assuming as a retiree y'all have tricare of something also. You can't keep lifting her hun if there's any other way. Hope you heal quickly! Prayers.

Wow for the first time in 15 years that we have lived here we have Grouse coming in to eat.
Did you invite them? Set places for them at the supper table???

Looks like they are rigging a by-pass pipe above ground with heat tape covered with hay and other insulation for the rest of the winter. Jolly.
oh wow.......hope that will give y'all enough water, and not freeze itself!
Of Iffy! That's awful. Not just the pain, but the food.
Hey hun, did you get my msg on the answering machine a few days ago? Tried to call ya on the house phone.

As to hospital food, jup it usually stinks.......but Daniel's 3rd surgery was at UT Southwestern hospital in Dallas. The food was amazing!! My friend said it was because the culinary school had worked out a deal to use their kitchens, and in return, they cooked the meals for the hospital. Some of the best fajitas I've ever had!!

Is everyone staying warm tonight ?
I have central heat this year......no complaints!! Hope you're staying warm too hun!

Other news, Bella, one of Geordi's sisters, got 2 points yesterday and a 3 point major today. So that's 5 of the 15 points needed for Champion, and one of the 2 majors needed! And she is being shown the rest of this circuit so she could easily be the first Champion in this litter! All very exciting! Bella was my fave of the girls.
Fantastic!!! When is Geordi's again?

Just got it. It helps to check them occasionally. I will try to call you back tomorrow.
lol I am bad about that too, the answering machine is in Daniel and Katy's room. They use their cell phones so they don't look at it, and I don't think to go in there. If I can get some sleep tonite, I'll be leaving here just before 11 my time to take my son to work then go visit with some friends. But I'll check it when I get back. Nothing super important, just hadn't seen ya.

How good is a cup of water in half a minute with both faucets open all the way? :eek:
oh yuck!! Better than no water at all, but dang, that's the best they can do for the rest of the winter??? Sooooooo glad I live in Texas!!

Oh dear! It's frozen in the ground or the walls?

In the ground. Past winters, they would cover that area with insulation and old mattresses, and it would be OK. However, they sold to a relative and didn't tell him. The whole family was working on it, so I don't think there is any hard feeling AMONG THEM about the situation. :mad:

Ask if you can come to their house to shower & cook.

Sorry to quote your whole post, on my phone with wrist braces all but impossible to edit.. Geordi and I go again next Saturday and Sunday. Fingers crossed (and toes, and eyes, and anything else. Would be nice to finish young. Less $).

Oh yeah, forgot to tell y'all - I hit the lottery this week... sorta.
Bought my first-ever lottery ticket last Wed. - five Powerball quick picks.
Scored two hits on the Powerball number - 10. "Won" $8... heck, got almost all my $ back.
I got $4

Well, we had two days of marvelous weather here on the island, and then we got slapped again tonight with a wild rain storm. What is even worse than the rain is the wind that is right behind it..........we're steady at 25 knots right now and gusting to 35. It's supposed to pick up after midnight. I WILL be dressed like an Eskimo when I go to open the gate for the parts truck. It has dropped 10 degrees since the rain stopped, but that wind makes it feel even worse. Oh well. It could be worse. I could be working outside.

The wind, humidity, & cold are a horrible combination! We've only had a couple of days that I needed more than a sweater. Today was one of them. So I stayed inside! [emoji1]

Ham sting... was pretty well pooped last night.

Patty fell
Iffy does Patty lift
Patty's legs just give way
"Going down!"
Shifted weight(s) to left to avoid landing on her
Half way down left ham string says "Enough, you're on your own!"
Dual visits to ER
Patty was OK, but extremely fatigued
Iffy has his left ham string sprung
Patty goes home with daughters
Iffy spends two nights getting his fill of poultry*

Only issue I'm having is part of that ham string is located right where I plop my left cheek on the toilet seat. Other than that, doing better than I thought.

* hospital meals
turkey sandwich
cold scrambled eggs (stuck to the plate)
chicken noodle casserole
turkey & dressing
chicken salad

I'm having this weird urge to pluck and preen.
Wow, so sorry to hear of your misfortune. I wish you and your wife a speedy recovery.
I'm behind and trying to catch-up. I have started at the end and I'm going backwards so my quotes will be a bit out of whack. Just like me.
