OMG, it really happened! For the last 5 years, Melinda has been 'about' to get a house. Year after year.
The sale was final today. I'm home alone because everyone else just left with a Uhaul full of stuff. They plan on spending the night there. Everyone's very excited.
Me? I'm staying where my bed is.
There won't be any beds until tomorrow or the next day. That's when I'll move in. I'm too old to have to get up and down from the floor every time I have to pee.
Wahooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooo happy for y'all!!! I know you love all the grandkids, but I expect it's a little bit nice to have a night or two with the house to yourself. Make sure that they make sure you have food, and whatever you might need til they get you moved though.
Yep, wait for a bed! It is exciting to finally have all this come together. When we bought this house we spent the first night on the floor with the kids. It was fun. Of course we were 32 years younger then!
Our daughter is currently looking for a house now that her house is under contract. Now its a time crunch to find a house! They didn't get their favorite house because, although their house was under contract, the home inspection was not yet done. Arrrgh! We can only think that they weren't meant to have that house. The problem is there's not a lot out there to choose from. I hate this part of house buying.
jup, just put it in God's hands and ask Him to find them one that they love even better!!
Heck, just have them load you AND the bed when it's time
lmao.....don't know if y'all have seen the movie fiddler on the roof or not, and I couldn't find a photo of this, but it instantly reminded me of a scene near the end, when they were being evicted from their village. So many were really old, and one family had a wagon that had this huge bed in it, with the mama or granny or someone sitting straight up in the bed in the wagon. Most were pushing little carts with their few belongings, these folks just grabbed the bed with granny in it, but it was odd to see her sitting straight upright.

So nice to see your post and to give 'Us" an update about how Iffy/Patty are doing . . . Now "WE" NEED to hear more about "You" and how Ya' are doing . . . Just Sayin' . . .
I'm doin fine. My life hasn't changed much. The pain clinic wants to have a dorsal column stimulator inserted, so I have another MRI next week for that. None of the many injections, or nerve burns they've done have helped in my neck or my back, so this is pretty much the last thing they have to try. The opioids are the only thing that gives me some relief, but they said they have to try to "do" stuff to me, they can't do the meds and nothing else. Don't really understand that, but anyhow, here's hoping this works. I reckin it's similar to a TENS, but this one will be a burst one cuz I can't deal with that tingly sensation. It's supposed to "open up the spinal column" I dunno. Not real keen on it, but I feel like I have to try anything I can whether I want to or not. They will initially insert the leads in a couple places, and tape the unit to me. If it doesn't help, they take the leads out. If it does work I have to go back and have the unit itself inserted. You control it with a smart phone. I think he said they do give you something to control it with so that's all you do with it. The whole time we talked about it, I assumed (yeah I know what they say about that) that they would do it at Scott and White. Level 1 trauma center and they fly people there from all over to get things done. Newp, closest place to do this is Dallas which is about 3 hours away.
I bent over yesterday and my back started trying to lock up on me, not any better this morning, so I plastered patches all over the area, so hopefully that will help.
Yesterday my phone was fine, I had it on the charger, grabbed it getting ready to go to the doc. Got in the car, took it out to make sure I remembered how to get to this clinic, and it was dead. Look at it when I got to the clinic, (turns out I did remember), and it was super hot. Got home, and a few hours later it finally cooled off. I assume that meant the batt had run down. I plugged in and nothing happened, but I just now did it and left it plugged in a little longer and it has turned on now and texts and notifications are coming in. Just not sure if it will be ok til I can get another one, or if that battery is shot. The web says it's not meant to have a changeable battery and that you have to take it to AT&T, and there is no place to open the back, but of course, amazon sells battery kits for it for about 20.00 and there are videos on prying it open lmao. Ok, one question answered, it charged to 7% but I can feel it getting a tad warm, so I unplugged it. Not gonna take a chance with a batt blowing up or venting. But at least maybe I can get my photos and contacts etc off of it. I've got so much stored on there that I don't want to lose. And man ya don't realize how many times a day you reach for it til it's gone. But these are all minor things and in the grand scheme, I am incredibly blessed!! But gonna get off here now. Hugs to all!
Talk about sticker shock - cost less to get the LG G Stylo . . . Just Sayin' . . .
