m0mmy - my DH has been wearing glasses since he was 6 or 7 and the older he gets the less near sighted he is - and he doesn't wear reading glasses just takes off his glasses. He only wears the for driving and when out walking. I just get more farsighted.

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Ours was quiet, but nice. I sent most of the leftovers home with DS. Today my HIT & PIlates teachers did a combined class, which was very fun. I came home, dragged out the Christmas decorations & got a start on the decorating (which I hope to finish tomorrow). I have now been ordering presents from DS & DIL's wish list. It feels & looks very wintery here!

I ate way too much yesterday at my sister's house for Thanksgiving. There were 14 of us and lots of food. Today was cold and windy so I didn't walk like I needed to. I also have started decorating for Christmas today - only put out the outside lights but plan on doing the rest this weekend. Need to buy my tree and get it decorated before dh's surgery on Thursday.
I forgot to mention that dh's birthday (Nov. 27) is also my cancerversary. I had my mastectomy on his birthday 18 years ago. November 27 was on a Monday in 2006. My surgeon called me the day before Thanksgiving to tell me I had cancer. I met with him the day after Thanksgiving. Then on Monday I had my surgery. It was a crazy Thanksgiving with lots of high emotions to say the least.
So thankful for surgery, treatments, and meeting all of you!

Finished decorating the house. Looking forward to getting my tree and decorating it.
Walked this afternoon. It was in the 40s and cold.

I look a flexibility/stretching class this morning & then returned to decorating. I just have the final touches on the tree & we have some of the outdoor things to finish up (it was really cold here….as in 2 degrees!!).

Got the Christmas tree decorated & did some dancing & toning on Utube yesterday. I went to Zumba & shoveled snow this morning. We have a Holiday party tonight.

It snowed during the night! We haven't had snow since January, 2022 - almost 3 years. It was about a half an inch and it covered the entire yard with no grass showing. It's gone now but it was pretty while it lasted.
I decorated the tree this morning. Love looking at it with all the familiar ornaments.
Went for a very short, cold walk and then ran a few errands.

I went to a weight lifting class this morning (yuck) & yoga tonight. It was a nice day so I did tons of errands in between. We have an Alberta Clipper coming through, so it will be cold and very windy tomorrow (which will lead to blowing snow….fun, fun).

One last bit of decorating to do this morning before the below zero wind chills kick in. Will concentrate on getting things done inside after that.

It's really cold and so windy here that most of outside decorations have been knocked over!
After walking, one of our friends hosted a yummy breakfast at her house. 'Tis the season!

Just reading about the wind and cold temperatures make my bones ache!
Great picture, Ruth. How nice that your friend cooked for so many of you.
It's been a slow day with our eyes on tomorrow. I was able to get in a short walk. I'll post tomorrow to let you know how the surgery went.

Wonder, when it gets brutally cold, my arthritis acts up. Although, I’d rather deal with the cold than 90 degree heat

Hope you will have a good report for us, Wonderland.
HIT this morning, Dance2fit tonight, shopping in between.

Dh’s surgery went fine. Doctor removed bone fragments that were causing the nerve pain. Time will tell. Relieved it’s over. Surgery lasted about 1.5 hours. I’m sitting in his hospital room now. It looks like he’s on a cruise!

Don’t know why that picture posted side ways. At least on my phone it did.

I imagine he doesn't feel like he's on a cruise today, but I am glad surgery is behind him!
I went to pilates/sculpt this morning & did more Christmas shopping/wrapping etc. next chore will be getting the cards out!

Dh was discharged from the hospital yesterday! He is not experiencing any pain down the side of his leg that the nerve created so I feel very confident that the surgery has been successful. The only pain he has now is from the surgical site. Making sure he takes his pain pills on time does help but he still is uncomfortable. Time will help with that. He has to wear a back brace for at least 6 weeks and probably longer.
A friend of mine was having pain down the back of her leg to her ankle. She had an MRI 2 weeks ago. She has a cyst on her spine that is pressing against a nerve that's causing the pain. Her back surgery is scheduled in January. Her husband died this summer and I hate this has happened to her.
My exercise today has been addressing his needs (drinks, food, etc.)

Sounds like DH is doing great! I feel sorry for your friend, but hopefully surgery will get her back to normal
I went to Yoga this morning & on a walk out in the country with DH & Bruno. It was very nice here today, but supposed to turn tomorrow. We are in a zig zag pattern!

I did an indoor walking DVD yesterday. I went to Zumba this morning & will go to HIT this afternoon.

Dh had a hard day yesterday. Had to bring him to the ER as he was having on and off again chills. All tests performed (blood work, chest x-ray, Covid, flu, urine) were fine. Was given an antibiotic and we came home.
Today has been much better. He could have taken his pain pill 4.5 hours ago (he can take one every 4 hours) and has felt like he didn't need one. This is a good sign. He's taking one now for sleep and nighttime.
My exercise today has been addressing his needs.

Glad DH is doing better today, Wonderland!

Love your WWW picture. Smaller group than last week. I guess everyone's busy.
Dh is improving every day. He actually was able to lay on his back today - something he has not been able to do since August. Has only had one pain pill today. Things are looking up!
In light of the murder last week in NYC, dh would have gotten relief much earlier if the insurance company had not denied a MRI until he had 6 weeks of PT. The xray he had early on didn't show the ruptured disc. He suffered needlessly until he was finally approved for the mri which showed it. Then it took time to get a doctor's appointment, although we feel lucky that he got in as soon as he did and that surgery was scheduled fairly quickly, all things considered. I think of all the patients just like him who are denied procedures, medications, or whatever medical treatment that a physician said was necessary but someone in the insurance company put restrictions on it or totally denies it with no alternative. What happened in NY was disgusting but it shed light on a serious problem.
Well, I have been getting no exercise. I feel my tail getting bigger 😃. The weather hasn't helped bc it's been raining for 2 days. It will be clear tomorrow so I'm declaring right now that I will walk!

Wonder - good news on your DH
DH met with his GI doctor. All was good with his colonoscopy. Polyps were small and cancer free. GI doc said that DH will only have 1 or possibly 2 more. He typically does not like doing them past 75 or 80 as the risks outweigh any benefit. GI doc said that polyps were small, 1cm and they don't worry about the small ones and he also only had 3. Based on his GI doc, I'm guessing I'll only have 2 more but time will tell as my GI doc considers me high risk.
Tuesday I had my every 4 month peridontal exam. A tooth they have been watching, dentist feels its time to go ahead with a crown. He said it would last much longer than trying to replace the filling. The only appointment I could before the end of the year is tomorrow afternoon. The office is closed the 23d through after new years. It is my teams last meeting for 24 and our holiday get together. I will be late to it. I didn't want to wait till January as it would mean meeting a new deductible.
Looking forward to my one month follow up (it has to be a month since the second eye) so I can get a new Rx. My progressive lens no longer work. So I'm taking them off for distance and wearing them for close up. Not sure what is going on as in the morning and at night, I tend to close my right eye when on the computer or my phone. It may be nothing.
I have not been to work all day very day since I went back on October 1st! January 6th I have labs for my hematologist and the next week my 4 month check up. Plus I'll also have the second appointment for the crown. I think otherwise, appointments will slow down!! I don't see anything on my calendar for Feb, March. Let's hope it stays that way.
Sweet dreams!
