Topic: RE: Hello!

Things are good here.  They had to take my computer again, and rebuild it a 3rd time.  But, now everything I need (programs) are all here & WORKING!!!!!  Glad your PT is going well.  I agree with the posture, it is AMAZING how eay it is to just ignore & then it just goes downhill from there!!!!!  Kee up on the posture & home exercises, ok??

My mother's day was nice.  They got me strawberry plants and worked on getting them in the ground.  Next weekend is Hunter's b-day.  Going to be 5!!!!!  I was thinking water balloon fight was good for the backyard birthday party!!!!!


Have a GREAT weekend!!!!!

Topic: Hello!
Well here we are halfway through Tuesday.  So far it's been a pretty good day.  Could be better if the sun would come out some day.  It's been rainy and dreary here for too long.  I had my first PT appt yesterday and it went very well.  She gave me exercises and I go back tomorrow.   I'll go twice a week for 4 weeks.  Sounds like most of it can be reversed just by correcting my posture.  I've worked on it all day today and it seems to be better already.  Of course the muscles I'm using that aren't used to being worked are tired and sore but they will get used to it eventully.

How was your mother's day?  It was good here.  My son cleaned house for me while Luke and Sadie took me out to lunch. 

Well, my afternoon break is about over so I better get back to work.  Have a good one!

Everything is going good.  Glad it is Friday here too, as well.  Supposed to be getting some sun later today & tomorrow.  We have a yard saling day planned for tomorrow & then not sure what our plans on Sunday are.  Hunter is getting excited because we are doing a count-down for his birthday.  And 2 more weeks is almost too much for him!!!  Doing a spiderman theme & planning on our back yard.  Boys & Waterballoons is what I was thinking!!!!!  Last year we did a slip-n-slide & they all had a blast!!!  DH says "what if it rains?"  I said well, then they will be a little wetter!!!!  ~~~~~~ Hello, like they care.... with water balloons??!!??~~~~~~~

Good luck with PT-remember to give it time.  When I hurt my shoulder.... Time & PT were the soltion, but it took lots of both!!!!  And DO YOUR AT HOME EXERCISES!!!!!


Have a happy mother's day!!!

Is it 3:30 yet????  I am counting down.   I'm mentally and physically exhausted.   I have a few things to do after work then I'm vegging for the evening.   And......no work tomorrow so I can sleep in a bit.  I will however probably be working a bit on Sunday.  We're having a very big push for work sooooo I'll be working like a crazy woman for a while.  Hopefully they get some incentives approved for the next couple of weeks so I can make even more $$$$ for my trip.  Sadie is doing well...growing like a weed.   We get asked how old she is allll the time and the the comment of WOW she's tall when we say she's only 4.  We're really ready for summer...today is supposed to be sunny and about 60 but then rain for the weekend.  

How's everything going?

We had a pretty good weekend too.   Isn't getting older just the pits!!!  My neck and shoulder has been terrible.  Hard to sit at the computer to work.  I start physical therapy next Monday and hope it helps.   I hope you can get some relief....walking that much cannot be easy when you're in pain!!

I think you got all the good weather because it was very cold and rainy here all weekend.  I think it's supposed to warm up now today.  I sure hope so.

The circus on Sat was fun.   Sadie loved it!

Sure makes me want to play hookey!!!!!  But, here I am, working away........ Had a pretty good weekend.  Satuday was busy, but Sunday was my 'day of rest'.  Even though between my newly discovered ulcer & my hip flaring up, not too much sleep was had last night.  Glad to have a doctor appointment scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.  This hip stuff is for the birds!!!!!!  I walk an average of 4 miles at work daily, and today I am limping.  So, not really looking foward to having a shot of something to help my pain, but looking foward to the relief.

Hunter got to go to a birthday party at the bowling alley Saturday afternoon & had a GREAT time!!!

DH was great yesterday, he was out in the yard off & on with Hunter getting all of the downed trees from the winter winds all cleared up.  Took 4 loads of brush to the dump too!!!


Hope your weekend was good!!!!

Well...tomorrow is Friday!!   I'm feeling a bit better today.  My neck is much looser and just a little pain.  Much more tolerable for now.  We'll see how that is at the end of the work day.   I have a Dr appt with my primary tomorrow.  I am trying not to take the pain meds but did give in last night and took one in the evening. 

Looking forward to the weekend.  We don't have it jam packed for once.  No plans for Fri evening except maybe to do grocery shopping.  Our plan for Sat is to go through some more garage sale items.  We have way too much stuff!!!  Sat evening I have a date with Sadie.  She and I are going to the circus.   She doesn't know yet where we're going just knows that we have a date.  She suggested a movie but I think she'll be ok with this LOL.  

Hope you're having a great week!

Our Easter was good as well.  It was a nice day.   Our church service was good as well.  We then had family here for dinner. 

Ok I am officially old!!  I gave in and finally went in to get my neck checked today.   I've been dealing with neck pain off and on for a few months but this time the pain got way out of control and had me in tears.  I was diagnosed with arthritis in my neck!!   UGHHHHH not an easy fix like I was hoping for.   He did give me a pain killer and muscle relaxer for now to try and get it under control and I have a follow up with my Dr on Friday so we'll discuss what else can be done.  I'm sure all the OT I've been doing hasn't helped it any.

Yes, it is only Tues!!  UNFORTUNATELY

How was your Easter?  Ours was good.  The church service was neat.  There was a drama that was done.  It was about the cross builder, and his portryal of building crosses for people to be put on, and what was so special about Jesus.  It was good.
