And the waiting game begins.

Went to the doctor this morning.
Hubby had found a lump a few days ago. So I made a doctor's appointment. I also wanted to have her check my knee. It is still bothering me since I fell on my birthday this year out in South Dakota.
 She checked the knee first said I needed an x-ray and then to go see the ortho doctor. That's ok I like Dr Ghose He is the one who took lump out of my arm did surgery on my knee and did my hubbys shoulder and hip surgeries.
Then I have an appointment this Thursday to get another mammogram and an alter sound done for the lump found in the breast. I say another because I just had one done in April of this year.
SO the waiting part begins as does the worry part!


up date: test come back normal. NO CANCER! relief.

Lucky is getting very possessive

This is Lucky! I took him out to visit our camper. I want him to get used to it because soon we will be living out of it for the winter and Lucky will be with us. He wasn't too sure about it at first but then he got comfortable and was right at home.
 That night when we went to bed, hubby tried to put his arm around me but this time instead of over the covers he went under them. Well, Lucky didn't like that and was soon trying to bite hubby's arm. When hubby wouldn't move his arm Luck got up ( he was all stretched out on my right side with his head on my shoulder) and got on top of my chest putting himself between my face and hubby's arm. As soon as hubby moved his arm Lucky went down by my feet and went to sleep. The next morning hubby had to work early instead of afternoon shift and Lucky was sitting on bed watching every thing hubby was doing and as soon as hubby leaned over to kiss me good -bye Lucky got in between us. Hubby said "No, Lucky this kiss isn't for you" and pushed him out of the way. As soon as he kissed me Good-bye and left for work Lucky curled up on hubby's side of the bed like thank god he's gone! LOL
Just about every time someone walks out the front door Lucky is there trying to get them to give him treats. His treats are kept on top shelf of the closet in living room because that's the only safe place for them. Most every where else Lucky can get to them even when door is closed. But at top of closet shelf he can't.... BUT He does climb to top of tv stand which is almost as close to them as he can get and he will look around the closet door as if to say "there they are I can see them please get me some." He will give you love but if you ask for love one to many times he gets annoyed and will bite you as if to say "Ok enough I want my treats now!" Spoiled rotten cat! LOL he is as bad as the grand kids when it comes to being spoiled! Yup that's our Lucky.

shivering

No I'm not cold.
I just had a bad dream.
I have cold chills going up and down my spine.
It starts out with my oldest grandson, picking a fight with me about him sleeping in the smallest bedroom we have (which by the way is where his youngest brother is sleeping right now) I catch him stealing a tape measure. No I know it doesn't make sense. Next I look out the window in the room he is trying to use as his own bedroom and I see not one but 2 dead bald eagles. and just before I turn to go tell my mom (whom by the way has passed) I see a swan, not yet dead but dying. I go out into the living room to where she is in the kitchen and tell her about them and say do we call the e.p.c.s.a. Now mine you I have no idea if these are the right letters to the right word I'm looking for. When she says yes I suppose you should. As I'm looking on line for the phone number I look out the living room window and ask why is dad still here why isn't he at work? (again dad has passed as well) Then I see my hubby getting into the car with my dad and I'm like why is dad taking jack to work? and I keep asking that over and over. I also say we have enough cars I could have taken him to work. Then I am fighting with another grand child over feeding the cat. I finally grab a can but instead of opening the can I set in down and tell my mom as she is walking into the living room with a cup of coffee before you sit down come look at the 2 bald eagles and swan. And I see my dad backing down the driveway with my hubby in the car. That's when I wake up. Of course first thing I notice is the cat is on top of me trying to wake me up to feed him. Second is the time 7:21 am. and third of course is why did my dad take hubby to work. and then it hits me dad is dead he didn't take hubby to work. BUT could he be taking hubby someplace else? I am dreading finding out. I hope its just a dream and means nothing. I hate these cold shivers.

And we loose another young person

I'm still wondering as I'm sure many many people are: was  Bobbie Kristina Brown murdered?
Yes is has come to that Bobbie Kristina has passed away at 22.
I really have no idea what this world is coming to. What is happening? Now they are legalizing Marijuana and yes I can see doing it for those who need it for medical reasons but some of these fools will lie and just get it for recreational purpose.
I guess I'm too damn straight!

Waaahhhh

Well here we are July 18th.
and yes we went to South Dakota over the 4th of July.
So on my Birthday (the 4th of July) we drove into town and stopped at our lot. The guy who took down the house left a terrible mess.
So we decided to work around the yard and clean up. After a bit I needed a chair (I can walk but I still can't stand long)
So hubby got me a chair and I said here let me take it and I took the chair from him and started to take it out to the driveway. Well there were some boards in the driveway, and I went to step over them. I made it with my left foot but my big toe on my right foot got caught on a nail and down I went. AND I got a Hugh cut in my arm and really wrecked my knee, scraped my elbow! I promptly thew up. after we got my arm bandage up (no I didn't go to the doctors) I sat in the chair and didn't move much after that. Darn sandals! We came home on Monday. Tuesday we were out moving stuff around in back yard cause we brought our Camper home and I was standing on the back end of trailer when I fell of twisting my left ankle! DAMN! I figured I was done hurting my self but I was wrong. this week Weds. I was out shopping and came home and went to get out of car when the door started to shut, I stuck out my right foot to hold door open missed the door hit bottom half of door door kept closing and snap there went my big toe right foot and yes I had sandals on! REALLY? OH GOD DID MY TOE HURT. Called the clinic and they said well there was nothing they could really do for that other than yank it back and then put a splint like thing on it to hold it in place (and you can buy them in any drugstore) So she said can you pull your toe your self? WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING YOU MUST BE KIDDING OH OK I'LL TRY. So I grabbed hold of the toe pull screamed my head off cried and cried and cried some more puked and then picked up the phone and said ok I did it. And she said yes we heard! She told me to put the splint thingy on then wrap it and just leave it for a day or two. CRAP do you know how many times I've already hit that stupid TOE!!!??? It still hurts, its still swollen and its still very red. I may have to go in and have them look at it anyways!
I don't know if all these "accidents" are because I can walk now but am off balance somewhat, or the sandals or what but let me tell you that's 3 and things come in 3 so I'm good no more please!

And up next is well 4th Of July.

Which means:

ROAD TRIP!

Oh wait you all were waiting for the other right? the (whispering) my birthday?
Yeah that too!


We are taking 3 of our grandsons and driving out to South Dakota to kinda search for a new home. As some of you may or may not know we no longer have a home. Last fall we had it taken down. ALL OF IT.
Our original plans were to tear only the back side down and keep the front side because it was still ok. Well when we went out last summer we noticed that the blocks were crumbling and the whole front end was sinking and so we emptied out the whole house and hired a guy to take it down for us.
 Cry OMG did I cry! That house meant so much to me. All because of the stupid back screen door. When I first seen the house it wasn't for sale. And I kept thinking now if that one would just come up for sale. And then it did. and we went to see it and I was sold. I barely walked into it and told hubby I wanted it. WHY? The back screen door. when it closed it kinda slammed closed I really can't describe it because you have to be there to hear it and see it to know what I mean for sure but it kinda banged shut bounced open then shut again. JUST LIKE MY IN-LAWS DOOR DID.
My mom and dad in law's farm house up north had a door that did the same thing. And I miss them something awful. Mom is in Florida. Dad has passed. And the family tore the house down. SO that door is gone. all I have are memories. And now once again all I have are memories. of another door that sounded the same. at our house. that we had two of our grandsons at. That we found stray kittens at. that I tamed all 4 of those kittens but managed to only save one. Pumpkin. whom has now crossed the Rainbow bridge.  Yeah it's time for a new house. weather we buy one in town already for sale. or we go up and see if we can get a Modular home to put on our land. What ever it is it will be this weekend. My birthday! I'm turning 61. but I feel like OH YEAH
Did you hear the great news?
I AM WALKING!!!!
WALKING -WALKING- WALKING. NO CANE, NO WALKER, NO SCOOTER!!! I AM W.A.L.K.I.N.G. And the pain in my back is gone. really and truly gone. IT IS A MIRACLE! And I for one have never really believed that could happen to me. and it has and I am just on top of the world. and yeah I am gonna be 61 but I feel like I'm only 49! I am also loosing some weight. I feel so much better since this doctor took me off some of those pills I was taking. WOW  and double WOW is all I can say! WHOLLY SH*T! I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT!  BUT BELIEVE IT BECAUSE BABY I AM WALKING! steps are taking longer but I am getting there! Happy beyond words! Have a great safe 4th of July.

GREATEST NEWS UPDATE EVER

I haven't posted in awhile because I have been working on something outstanding to tell you all.

THIS IS THE GREATEST NEWS EVER!
PEOPLE HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS.

IT'S BEEN SINCE 2008 SINCE I HAVE WALKED WITH OUT ANY KIND OF HELP.
I either walk with a cane or go about 50 feet then use a scooter. If I do walk more than 50 feet with just a cane, I have problems breathing.
So I have trouble waking.
Well this year I went to see a new doctor and first thing she did was take me off some pills I was on that I shouldn't have been. Then she sent me off to Physical Therapy (again). Well I went and low and behold after a few times going I started walking. First more than 50 feet with my cane. Then more than 50 feet with 1 lbs weights. Now just walking. no cane no weights no anything. I AM WALKING PEOPLE. Yes they are small sow steps but I am walking. something I haven't been able to do since the accident in 2008.  My next thing is to do steps. Not yet but I want to learn to do them again as well.
