Medical Update

Went to see Dr. Starr today.No changes, but I made an appointment for Dr. Sullivan for Wednesday of this week. Maybe we can do something about these heel spurs of mine. The secretary said that I will probably need new x-rays done prior to my meeting, but she will call me on that.
My diet was going well on the Atkins, but I broke done and had a salad today from the hospital cafeteria. Now that that is over, I can get back to my diet. I had lost 8 lbs in 6 days.
I feel better,except for my feet and shoulder. Man, I can hardly wait until tonight when I can take some meds.

POLITICS

Well I've gone political on my other blog. I said that people were making a big deal about the running mate rather than the issues. I think that the first issue should be the right to life--without that there is nothing else matters. I can not see our country sliding into decay and ruin because a few people think that the running mate is too old , or gun crazy. If we don't have anyone around, what difference does it make who is president?

Karen's Delema

Well she's gone and done it. She has a solicitor to confront Jeff with the fact she wants to bring Hannah to Tacoma to live. This should be interesting. Jeff is dead set against her taking Hannah out of the country. Karen also needs to get Hannah's American passport either from London or Edeninburrough.I think that carol ann will be the deciding factor in all of this. If Jeff is that close to Carol ann, then he miight let Hannah go with summer visits. We shall see.

Hannah is doing well in school, and at home. She is learning more of her alphabet letters by sight and sound. Her speach is improving too.

GOOD DAY, GOOD SUNSHINE!!

Today is a very good day! Very little pain. I was able to go across the street to help out Stacia and Val for a few minutes. Val had to leave to get some papers from home and couldn't leave Stacia alone. So we had a nice visit. When I got back, I finished my e-mail, checked up on my friends in blog land, then made banana nut bread with a new recipe. I think it came out pretty good, not too sweet, and just enough nuts.
I did have a problem with the kitten-- he was into everything I was doing.I can see that when I start the cookies I will have to lock him up. I figure I have 10 people or families to give to, so that's 10 doz of each kind of cookie to make.Most of the batches make 6 or more doz, so there is no problems there.

SHALL WE DANCE AGAIN

Back on my feet after a weekend in bed. Heel spurs and neurapthy did it again. I have to find out what I am doing wrong to cause this.

Did finish the blue mittens and got the pink yarn ready to go.

Told Dana today that I have to go back on Atkins , or Slimfast to loose some of this weight. I will use up what I have in the house, salads, soups,etc. then start.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR?

I'm feeling much better today. I guess it was a case of sorry for myself day yesterday. I managed to get all my poems in the computer last night using microsoft word. I learn some thing new every day it seems.
I am up much earlier today. I also got better sleep, after taking enough pain meds. That may be the key. I didn't eat during the night either.
Not much planned for today-- finish the blue mitten,read, go to Church.

A new day, A new beginning

Today is a new day, a new beginning for me. Much has happened in the last week to make me look again at the world. God continues to bless me with my poetry, of that I have no complaint. But in His wisdom, He took the son of my neice. He was only 2 months old, and not yet baptised. I guess I am feeling a great deal of grief from this, and unresolved grief from the loss of Lisa's son. There is a gnawing inside of me I don't know how to handle. I do pray, and read, try to keep busy, most of all I try not to over eat especially sweets.I feel like I want to run away, to hide from the world. There is so much pain and strife going on out there. People saying that politically I should do this or that. I am becoming confused and bewildered.
