Post Date: 5/10/10 11:59 am 
in the next day or two i have to shampoo the carpet to get ready for daughter who is visiting from san antonio.  i look forward to seeing her.  we have a good time together.  she is in time for a local charity event  its called somesort of backyard bash.  live music, calf fries (for those who don't know these are calf testicles, yuck), bbq, beer and fun.  i'm glad she likes at least two things here at home, me and the bash. of course she likes her bother and niece and nephew also.  i'm the star attraction though. lol

just got off the phone with a new orthopedic doc and he has agreed to see me for my knees. yeahhhhhhhhh  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   i've been trying to get help for my knees for over two years.  docs here don't give second opinions on knee replacements.  the doc who did the original knee replacements finally agreed to get me set up with a second opinion, but it took his pa to finally order the test (bone scan) that showed a possible problem. it could be a false positive though since it has only been two 1/2 years since the surgeries.  the originial doc kept telling me my knees were in good shape, the xrays were great. bull sh-- !!!!!!!!!!!!  i have had problems from day one, like i said.  on both knees.   i have been on oxycontin 60 mg for a month now and it is not working. i was on 20 mg of hydrocodone for over two years and it quite working.  PAIN !!!!!!!!!  enough whining.  i am so grateful to see this new doc and it is set for real soon, next monday. yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i guess i have bent all your ears enough.  hope u all lose some weight today, if you want to. take care, help somebody else, be kind to yourselves.  vick

Thanks for the tip on calf fries Vick, I have heard them called Rocky mountain oysters before.  Never brave enough to try them, I suppose they could, just could be a source of protein.  lol...  I have several other sources that do not affect my mind as much as the thought of eating testicles, yuckkkkkk.

Have a good visit with your dtr Vick.  I feel that she will have a nice visit, clean carpets or not.  She is there to see you and not inspect the house.  But, my mom would do similar things before company came when I was growing up.  Maternal thing, I know

Have a great afternoon, lots of Hugs.

Hope you have a wonderful visit with your daughter Vickie. Good luck with the new knee doc, hope that works out where you can get some relief from all that pain. i alos hope things improve move for your husband. It's so hard when they can't even decide what the problem is. I'm glad his mood is good, that can make a big difference.
I too have heard of "mountain oysters" and never been tempted to taste test them! Hope you a great time!

Vick... You sound like you are feeling better, and that makes me happy! But sad that your hubby has to suffer so much and you along with him. Boy do I relate to this. I'm glad he is coming to terms with everything and life is so much more pleasant for you both. It can make such a difference.
I'm glad you get to see your daughter... just stay away fromthe beer and the testies, and you should survive the visit. lol. I have lived right here at the foot of the rockies for many years now, and still REFUSE to even consider trying those rocky mountain oyters. To me, it is just a disgusting thought. I think if it were the last source of protein available ever, I'd have to go non compliant...lol.
Keep us posted on yur knees! I am hopin and praying they find out the problem and can get them feeling better and working better for you.
Big hugs coming yur way my friend!
