Howdy, Mad. You have a good weekend, too. Hope you can enjoy some nice weather!!G'mornin, snails...
TGIF!!!
Mid 70°s for the high today...rain still threatenin, though. Have good weekends, snails!
Yes, that is one of the reasons, and I want to get it all in place before it gets too hot!Good morning Gracie. I hope it's because you are too busy enjoying the great outdoors!!
But.....but......but, I love the dirt..morning, gracie! stop playing in the dirt
I was scheduled for surgery yesterday for correction on my foot surgery last July which ended up being a failed surgery.
I have not been able to bowl since then and had to quit my leagues.....I am unable to walk more than a half mile and then have to take my shoe off for the pain. I used to walk 2-4 miles 3x a week.
I am able to go shopping and driving is not a problem...so there's that.
Thank God, I am able to garden! I just take intermittent rests. Have been wearing the one pair of sneakers for too many months now and they are wearing out....they have a flexible toe box, and that enables some room for movement.
So, whether I garden or go to a special 'whatever', on go the black flexies, as I call them.
I would have loved to have done this months ago, but between the evacuation from the hurricane last year, then hubby's heart event and subsequent monitoring, the foot (toe) took a second seat, and I was able to function to attend to him and that was my priority.
The surgery is scheduled for May 21st.

Geez, Gracie, did I miss when you said your surgery was a failure? I know you had some post op problems, but I thought they were resolved. So sorry you have to go through all of this again. You will be in my thoughts, and I sure hope this surgery is a complete success.

Why did yesterday get canceled?
Good morning Atty, Gracie and MadO
Aw Gracie, so sorry you’re messed up like that! My mom had the same problem, hope you can get it fixed.

Thanks, Kat.......I worded that wrong........it was yesterday that the doctor ordered surgery for the 21st of May.Geez, Gracie, did I miss when you said your surgery was a failure?

You didn't miss anything.....I never posted it cause I was very angry and actually, very embarrassed after having praised the surgeon and his reputation.
Unfortunately, those post-op problems never did get resolved even after going back time and time again. He knew he fouled up, especially after I ended up in the hospital for a week with an infection. Thank God my new GP caught it and sent me right to the hospital from her office.
I fully understand that this could be a legal matter, but I refuse to do that simply because I don't have the makeup to go that route.......My sil is a retired attorney and knowing me as I am, fully agrees. He tells me it would take forever, it would take a toll on me and with my seizure disorder, my nervous system would take a big hit. It's not worth all that turmoil. I'm OK with this decision and feel peaceful.
No reason to be embarrassed, especially with this crew
. Don't think I knew you were in the hospital for a week, either, or is my memory really slipping? YAHOO for a good GP!! 
. I just feel so bad you have to go through it all again!!
And you didn't word anything wrong. It's just all in how you read it, I think.
Didn't post about the hospital either.....my family was so worried and the possibility of osteomalitis was ever present......I don't think I was posting much at all. A lot of that time capsule is lost to me!No reason to be embarrassed, especially with this crew

Wasn't too bad most of the day, but here came the wind again (HUSH TIBS!!!) and very heavy rain. It's passed, but more on the way. So, I, too, had a lazy day with Maddy.
Got my next scan and doctor appointment set up for May 22 at 12:30 and 1:30. Really like that I can get results same day. So, here comes the scanxiety, but it's not too bad so far. Hope to keep it that way, realizing I have absolutely NO control over what the results will be, good or bad. Letting go of control ain't easy, but I'm slowly working on it. My new meds have really helped me to be more focused and clear and less physical problems from the anxiety on most days. I am grateful....
Good evening and goodnight Snails. Sleep well, sweet dreams and a better tomorrow for all
