Big time!. What a pain. I am not surprised though. I haven't had that yet! Go figure. The knees are ugly and my feet won't win any beauty contest soon either I can assure you!  So My sister will be here tomorrow and is taking me back to Maine for a week or two for some well needed family bonding. I have not seem my family since my Mom passed over three years ago now. I miss them so and I need a break from sitting in this house alone all the time. My Doc also prescribed me a new walker on Monday to help me get around better (It's Real Fancy ) but it is just to dang cold to go anywhere. But it does have a seat so I can give all of you a ride and a removeable basket so we can go shopping!!!!!!  I have attached a pic. You have to help me give it a really cool name. It is blue.
I think that while I am home I might get another opinion about a few things. It couldn't hurt could it. Plus my Doc now has me on Morphine and I am scared of what will happen to me when that no longer works. What else is there at that point but to take me out behind the shed? Right?
Well I feel so depressed and blah right now that I hope this little visit will change things but I am not one to expect to much these days. I would rather spend a week with some of you and maybe someday that might happen you never know. Anyway, I will close for now. As always, I luv ya all. Thanks as always for comfort and support. Will be talking soon. Keep ya chins up the best ya can!!! Love Mark  |
Hi mark, i have a black walker that has a basket for shopping to, i will race ya. I hope you enjoy your time catching up with family. If you ever wont to get out of the cold i live in Sunny Queensland Australia come for a visit. I started getting swollen ankles and pins and needles in my legs from surgery and figured i sat around to much, thats were the walker came in handy. i also learnt that i dont sweat any more so all the fluid builds up so take fluid retention tablets, dont know if that will work for you. But to live in Sunny Qld and not sweat is not funny.
