Shepkitty! Thank goodness someone found him! I've been so worried about him!
After all the yard work today I think I'd like to try seeing double later tonight!
Ok, so after so much prodding I found some left over eggs in the back of the fridge so I put them out for the critters. I'm not sure who enjoyed them but they were gone this morning. I'm still not cooking for the critters but they can have all the left over eggs they want.
The critter chow I use I've never tried it myself. It has added protein and vitamins in it for healthier hair, bones, young etc I'll send some to anyone willing to try it. I'm worried my hair will get out of control like Loverly's feet and the last thing I need is 6 to 10 young running around my house!

My break has come to an end, so it's back on Lil Red to finish mowing. It's perfect weather to do a little chunky dunkin when I'm done! The pool looks so refreshing!

Where is the meat? Wait , wait, I just read the last paragraph again. Are you talking about raccoon chow like clam chowder? And I thought chicken feet was a delicacy!

SusieM49: I have an out-of-the-ordinary suggestions for your BMX: take some "before" photos if you want to journal your journey. I used the timer function of my camera, so no one else has seen my photos.
The first "after" photos were taken the morning after discharge. I took photos every 2-3 days those first few weeks. The photos were tough to look at, as I was terribly bruised and swollen. However, I was encouraged by the improvement with each set of photos. I also had to email a few photos to the nurse when I developed an infection.
Best wishes for a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery.

I would rather have these:
In fact, I am eating them right now to counter the heat we are having here. I'm so grateful my pancreas is still functioning no

Loverly ice cream looks inviting, but no heat wave here, just lots of rain.
Junie hope the PT is
going well.My dog has another partial torn ligament in the opposite leg, the meds have kicked in and is is able to walk again.
Shep a little something to brighten your day.

SusieM-Welcome
Smaarty-Hope you had a great time in Tahoe. Are you surviving the heat now that you are home? How's the kitty doing?
JazzyJune/Smarrty-First week back went pretty good, besides the first day back. Getting back into the groove of things. My body does feel it, but getting use to my new "normal". I already go back tomorrow as I'm off on Fri and Sat's. The weekends go by too fast.
Sas-Waiting to see what my Onco score is. Like you my family history is riddled with CA. Thyroid, breast, lung, leukemia and I lost my dad to colon cancer. Been feeling like I have this dark cloud following me Just taking it a day at a time, and hope to get out of my funk once I make a final decision if I'm going to do anything else in terms of treatment. Glad to hear the IRS didn't get you.
Lover-mmmm ice cream. Sure sounds good on a hot day like today
Hope everyone else is well. Keep those baby pictures coming

I almost forgot...Chance keeping cool at the dog park0 -
Loverly, we're talking about the chow I feed the raccoons. I'm not sure if I'd like raccoon chowder but I love clam chowder!
The ice cream looks soooo gooood!!
Sensi, Chance looks very comfortable in the pool of water. So cute!

I'm surviving the heat, haven't gone outside except to feed the cats. Tinker seems to be fine, no more red urine anywhere. This is my sisters DH and dog. The dog gets his own floater. He LOVES water. Sensi, twin to yours!
Might have some ice cream tonight.
Forward, where are you with all that snow? Down under?

OMG! I am horrified to see what that BLASTED autocorrect did AGAIN. I usually catch those screwups. So sorry Smaarty!

I am doing fine today. They took my roommate to another room, so I am a lone in this room for now.
Apparently since she is on dialysis and she gets cold easily. I am always hot because of my treatments and my having the window open was not working for her.
Loverly - Thanks for pointing out my mistake in posting my question to the wrong lady.
Shep - Thanks to you as well. Glad I could make you laugh. I knew something was up with you since you hadn't been posting as much.
Is it anxiety or depression? Have you addressed this with your doctor's or palliative care?
You know that palliative care is there to help with quality of life issues (pain, depression, etc.). I discovered this at a conference held at my local hospital and see the PC people monthly. Very helpful. :0)

Sensi - Glad you are getting back into the swing of things. Take care of yourself too. Soak in a bath with some Aura Cacia bath salts if you're allowed by your doc.
Aura Cacia is sold in the healthfood section and has lavender & several other scents to help relax you.
Also, Chance looks really cool chilling in the pool. He just needs a pair of Doggles sunglasses and a doggie Mai Tai.

Forward, are you up above?
Ms. Sas, you are out spending the money you didn't have to pay IRS? One less stress off your plate.
Chance looks so happy in the kiddie pool. Returning back to work after surgery was not easy for me either, but grateful to have had a job to return to because before I left for surgery, more than half of our staffs were laid off.
Lori, phew!
Feline, how was the dance?
I received a panicked phone call from DD while I was at the swim meet with my younger DD. DD1 was trying to pump gas using a credit card for the first time. "Mom the credit card is stuck in the slot and I can't get it out! " I could hear her making sounds of frustration trying frantically to pull the card out of the slot. My first thought was oh no it's a skimmer device that steals credit card info., so I asked her to describe what the slot looks like. First a long pause, then " um, oh shoot! I put the card in the wrong slot." Yup, the receipt slot. This is the same child who will be going to college this fall. (Sigh)

ShepK, took me awhile to figure out how you make your emoji so big.
Oops ! That's bigger than what I wanted.

Rabbit hole? Hmmm......trying to avoid being underground for as long as possible
Warning: Ranting Below
Stress, anxiety, frustration, pain all causing depression. Last Saturday's fall hit me "hard". My right foot is still too swollen and painful to wear shoes or even socks. The darn thing is pretty much purple from the ankle down. It hurts! PCP thinks I might have torn a ligament on the top of my foot. If my foot and/or back isn't better Monday I have to go back to see him and get some more images done. FFH is being less supportive than usual. I had to argue with him to go the ER. They were going to write me an RX for a wheelchair. FFH had a fit. He even argued against the hospital sending me home with crutches! I got the dang crutches though. He thinks I am over reacting. My MO told me to go to the ER. My MO told me to see PCP last Wednesday. MO is also concerned about torn ligaments and possible spine damage.
I am still waiting for a surgery date. The surgeon's nurse has assured me they're working on it. I'm scared the surgeon is going to change his mind and not do the procedure. I'm terrified that L5 is going to crumble.
I don't want to fall again. The fall before this one was in Feb. '13 ......the fall that led to my "surprise" cancer DX. Falling is baaaaad.
Soooo, I'm even less mobile than usual. And feeling damned helpless. My right foot is all banged up and my left foot is numb and attached to a leg that isn't trustworthy due to nerve pressure in my spine. I do have the John Deere but can't take it out of the house on my own because FFH refuses to make a little ramp so I can get it out the door. (He also refuses to install grab bars in the tub.) I'm trapped in the house most of the time. I live a 10 minute drive away from the beach and love to sit and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. My feet have only touched the sand one time this year.....when my BFF was here in March. Only went once to the beach last year. We have beautiful places and interesting things to do all around us. FFH always has an excuse. Although he's out the door in a skippy minute to go out with his bestie or his son. Love when he texts me pictures of the fun things they do......
My body continues to betray me. I'm stuck "sharing" a home with a selfish, self centered, resentful, inconsiderate slob. FFH is a serial spender, so no extra money to pay for someone to do all the stuff he won't.
Rant Over: Silliness to resume soon.
Pleasant dreams and restful sleep to all.....

Very sorry to hear of MammaRay's health. Thinking of her and her young family.
Lover thanks for asking, DD was beautiful. There is a second performance this afternoon. I never film because I want to watch and unsurprisingly I find that I can't watch if I am looking at the back of a camera. Usefully I can bring DS and he films for me, but he flew out to France this weekend. DH was there last night but naturally he wanted to watch too. DD is a beautiful dancer and absolutely shines on stage but I get great pleasure from watching all the girls, and acts where DD is not on stage too, can't wait to go again today.

Shep - check out CancerCare.org. They have a one time grant of $300.00 for medical needs for BC patients. Plus check within your community, surely there are some resources to help you get the ramp and grab bars. Living without these things is obviously dangerous for you.
Contact some local churches. Some have individuals willing to volunteer their time to do the things you need.
Please!
