WOKE ABOUT 4:30, WAY TO EARLY.

I want to get to some reading  on other  blogs today.  Planned on it last night but country music awards came on and Joe wanted to watch it. so we did.  I miss some of the oldies.  There were a lot I did not consider country.  Joe likes it no matter what so the least I can do is watch it one night.  I want everyone to know, I love my husband for who he is.  It is like my daughter said when Mike was  diagnosed with cancer.  She said "I complained about him for various reasons but I don't want him to die">  I went through the same thing with Joe when he had heart failure.  When I complain about Joe, it is just that I can get my frustrations out.  I love him dearly but I don't want him to die.  If he changed all of a sudden to being very meek, uh, uh, I will take the stubborn Joe.  Mike had his first Chemo treatment Yesterday.  I thought it was today.  They are nearly out there all day.  Connie'  s youngest son called me to wish me a Happy Birthday ..  This doctor is thinking steroid injections for my hips if the xrays  show what he thinks it is, wear and tear on my body over the years..  He told me to get a nasal spray called" nasalcrom."  I nearly fell over when I read the price on it."  $12.95  for a small bottle.  But it is helping already..It is supposed to  do more to stop the post Nasal drip.  Hope you all have not just had breakfast . Mort I am sorry that you missed your appointment.  I have done that also.

I slept till 6:30

Good morning everyone.  I am in a little better frame of mind.

Still hurt but I think more  than yesterday.  I am beginning to think that an x-ray table could not ever be or have been as cold as the one yesterday + hard.  One thing about it I know I will hear from  this Dr.  He also said that some wear and tear that causes pain in the hips and arthritis has set in that steroid injections can help control the pain and allow me to move easier.  I am ashamed that  I complain.  There was a lady maybe my age or a little younger and I noticed she had one leg amputated.  She appeared to be alone.  And when I heard the receptionist come around and get her in the conversation I heard her say they would call the nursing home and have someone come to get her.  All of a sudden I thought  “and I was feeling sorry for myself".  I don’t know why but I just felt so sure she was a diabetic that may not have taken care of herself.  My brother  did not lose any limbs but he lost his eyesight and  had a brain hemorrhage that killed him.  He would not take care of himself.  His thing was I will live my life as best I can and he took huge doses of insulin and I will eat like I want and he did and died a young man in his 40’s. 

I guess if Ron and Kathy want to take Joe and I out for my birthday we will go.  With the price of food going up that should be enough of a present, but knowing them it won’t be. Now Jack don’t get your shorts in an uproar, this Doctor still remembers from before he had a heart failure,  that I was saying  to Dr. Gobbo, “Joe drives me crazy.”  I got the same reaction when I said it yesterday.  He just grinned and proceeded to tell me that sounded familiar but that to tell Joe that it is not unusual that a woman my age has strange sleeping habits.  If I could get out and walk around the block that would give me a little more fresh air, and I might sleep better but not to go alone.  Well it has been all about me,me and that must change.  I could not believe how many of my faithful missed me.  The x-ray tech could not believe I blogged. Dr. said it is very important to keep my mind working and stay as active as I can.  He said sometimes that wards off Alzheimer's.  I guess our temps are going to get a little cooler and my flowers are still pretty.  I thought the bees  had removed all their lively hood, but they are still very pretty.  Spunky is chasing a squirrel in his sleep.  He is yipping and his legs are moving.
