How’s Jo feeling this morning?
I’m off for the pre-op appointment early this morning, it will be a very busy week. But it was so good to have 4 days off work, what a treat.
Refrigerator guy comes today, arborist tomorrow, but I need to change the appointment time on the latter as there is a meeting I’ll have to cover online when he’s set to come.
Peter, I found an article on a cave in GA. I think I put the link on yesterday’s thread at the end of the day, and tried to post it on your Twitter account. I rarely use Twitter now so don’t know if you will see it there.
Ouch! I just saw that Jo had the fall. A lump on the head deserves a check for a concussion. So glad no broken hip, etc. Prayers for quick recovery from bruising and soreness. Not fun at all!
Good morning, all. Husband and son are off to Boise. Husband is delivering a truck for the road district and bringing back his truck which has been on loan to daughter so her little family could go places together with their occupied four car seats. Son is going to be fitted for a new suit, he does like to dress fancy. He will be using his own money for the purchase.
My Boise brother and his wife and their dog arrive today. We have set up a different guest room with access to outside which does not involve going past my dad. Test run to see if their dog behaves better than the last six not counting Manny and Espn.
The a/c just came on. It’s gone up to only 82° outside but is pretty humid.
I worked up a sweat breaking down fallen branches on the patio to put in the bin for pickup today. We did not have Bible study today so I got that chore done instead.
Feeling better, but it was a very scary fall on a steep cement driveway. I have permission from my neighbor in back to use his driveway when I want to go walk.
Praises cuz it could have been so much worse
Maybe it is time to buy a golf cart
Glad you are okay, Jo. Just heard about a fellow who fell and went to ER to be checked out. He was sent home, but woke up in great pain later. Passed out in the bathroom, but then woke up and managed to get to a phone. Turns out he had internal bleeding-both kidney and spleen. They saved the kidney. He weighs about 250 lbs. He was fortunate to get help in time to save the kidney etc.
Another friend woke up with concussion after being sent home from the ER. It is good to have a phone handy!
I always have my phone when I head out for dog walks, just in case it’s needed for any reason. Falls are complicated the older we get.
Remember what Chas used to say? Something like, if you fall in your 30s, you get right back up. When you fall in your (fill in the age blank–older, suffice it to say) you wind up in the hospital.
Back from the pre-op for cataract surgery and met the new GP (whom I don’t like as well as the last one who seemed to be a good listener. 😦 )
The medical landscape is challenging these days, hard to keep a doctor for any longer than a couple years — but I also saw where there’s a shortage now of GPs, med students mostly are going into the specialities for various reasons (including being a GP is very challenging in terms of what all you need to know).
My one oldest friend — since we were 7 — who died a few years back had a number of physical issues getting started in her 50s, including osteoporosis. She told me her doctor said if she fell she could virtually shatter a bone so she was hyper careful. Still, falls happen. 😦
And I probably need that bone density test done again at some point, last one was when I was probably in my late 40s, early 50s. Groan. So tired of going to doctors.
That is what happened to step mom. When she fell, or before when she stood up, her pelvis broke. But she was one hundred. Fairly certain Jo is aware of all this and may have more of my view of doctors.
I was very aware of the stone stairs out back when I worked around the patio this morning. I was thinking of Jo and my dog-walking friend who slipped on her concrete deck on ice this past winter and had a concussion. And I am reading the book by my younger friend who slipped on an apple peel in a bakery where she worked and had traumatic brain injury😳 My mother had a fall on a flat sidewalk at her church and fell over into the bushes. Her hip broke . . . Please, please, be careful all of you’ins. That is a NC expression, You’ins, remembering Chas but not remembering if he used that expression.
Refrigerator part can’t be found locally, only one is in Albany NY so that job is being pushed until next week (which is when I have the eye surgery).
Our home Bible study was cancelled, first it was me with the late refrigerator repair (which later was cancelled) but then one of the hosts had a medical scan belatedly scheduled for late this afternoon as well.
Thumb doctor followup visit is tomorrow.
Did I mention there are too many doctor appointments?
I’m grateful, really I am, but the system now has you running in circles with no more Dr. Welby who can just do it all, you know?
Yes, one-stop docs are in the past. Those were the days!
It got up to 88° and for the third time today I came inside sweating. I walked the driveway while I talked with my friend just now. Earlier I pulled greeneryby the curb that had overflowed the yard, and before that I had cleared the patio of fallen branches. That is sounding like it is autumn already with all those chores. Raking is around the corner.
I cannot like anyone’s posts nor can I post without jumping through the sign in prompt twice!
My kinfolk said “you ins”… it could come out sounding like “you uns” depending on which part of the state they came from or how fast they were speaking!
And of course we were brought up being told to “red up the table” after a meal….meaning clean it off. I often wondered if the original table had been red on the top meaning they wanted to see the red again with the dishes gone…?
