Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?

Another busy day. I had a volunteer picking up IKEA donation and I found some bedding that was never used that she also took. The charity helps people set up a home at no charge and I really find that to be nice in this day and age. I called Vietnam Veterans to arrange a pickup for 1/21 for the clothing we had removed from DH and my closets. Other phone calls to eye doctor to insure recent report goes to PCP, and Pulmonary to get supplies now that test month is up. Still having minor issues with mask, but it's much better now.

Got up early because I wasn't sure when drapery guys were coming and wanted to clear the table runners and seasonal items off the table. Some are being rehomed to the linen closet and others will be kept in a drawer. I also sorted through the kitchen island runner drawers and removed the Christmas and Easter items to be stored in the linen closet now that I have the room. The remaining runners were separated by season or theme for easier access.

Got 2 loads of wash done as well and now I am done. My back has been bothering me for the past few days, and even with the medication, I don't get complete relief. I do have to make my bed and put the items in the linen closet.

The drapery guys came, removed the sheers, drapes and the valance. They can clean the valance on site at half the cost of taking it apart and reassembling, so I took that option. More expensive than I expected, but still cheaper than replacing them. This will be their first cleaning and considering they remove, clean, replace and then steam in place after hanging, the price seems better. They are double lined and quite heavy so pin placement is critical to prevent tearing.

DB comes on Monday to paint, so the room is ready to go. We took the leaves out of the table today, took the shelves from the China closet out and they are on top the table. The wall decorations have been stashed in a very crowded living room. We need DSIL to help lower the china closet off the buffet base or move the entire unit away from the wall

I am hoping that next week I might be able to get to DD's old closet to sort through the clothing I store there. One section is summer clothing, another is lightweight jackets/fleece hoodies, the third is vacation clothing, and lastly is the center shelving holding travel items. It needs to be reorganized after I cull unwanted or ill fitting clothing. I'd like to really reduce what is here to what I really need for summer, jackets and then travel.

I have my thoracic epidural tomorrow. I don't know what restrictions I might have afterwards. I am just hoping I get relief. DGD has a basketball game on Saturday as does DGS. His is so early in the morning and they are 30-40 minutes away based on traffic. We won't be able to go to his game and I might not make hers based on how I feel.

I hope everyone has a great day and am waving "hi" to everyone.
