how are you today? does the weather affect them?

I slept like rap last night. Last night both my hips bothered me., trying to sleep with a pillow between my legs. I usually sleep on my left side. and if I fall on my back I wake up in pain because my diaphragm freezes and I can't take a deep breath with out pain. Weird I know.
So I sleep mostly on my left side. My shoulder was painful...it just got to be uncomfortable in any position so I got up.

WE NEED A NEW BED!
We are looking this weekend. It is 15 years old.

Thanks for asking bobby.
I am stiff when I get up and am better as the day progresses.
Don't know about the weather, don't think it effects me. How about you?
Do you have arthritis?

my left knee always now

If you are waking up stiff and getting better as the day goes on, it could be arthritis. But it could be other things as well. I think you have suffered with these hip problems long enough and should go see a doctor :hug::hug::hug:

I think a new bed will help, at least a little. Your bed is so old!!! A new one will be a great investment. Do you know what you are looking for as far as firmness? No matter what, I think you will feel like you are sleeping like a queen when the new mattress arrives :)

My hips are still bothering me, especially the left one.
(But it is much better than a few days ago when it really was painful!!!!)
We have met our medical deductible for the year so I should go see an MD.
I really should start doing my exercises that the PT gave me from before.
I really should go back to the gym and row.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda,
sigh

Sorry about your knee bobby, ((((HUGS)))

Spent an hour last night picking at my thumb,
and it was so much better....:(

Drinking too much

I work today, will see a hospice patient at 10 then go out of town an hour to see 2 clients. one in a rehab place then the other at their home.
Hoping I time the visits right.
Jeff has a gig this evening.
Plays jazz guitar for a 20 piece big band called the sky liners.
The band has been playing for 66 years, of course all of the original players are gone so lots of new people. I have been several times, fun to listen to 40-50's music. The audience/dancers are dwindling because younger people are not that interested in ball room dancing or swing.

Jeff is volunteering for 2 hours at a brew festival today before his gig.
He wishes he could stay for the whole event like last year.

Went to whole foods last night, saw my girl friend who is back for a while getting some medical issues taken care of while she has state health insurance. She doesn't know how hard/easy it will be to get Tennessee state insurance so while she has Louisiana insurance she will come back for care. She thought she was going to have to have a hysterectomy, maybe not.

Her daughter has already moved to TN and is living with her grandparents and will start school there in 2 weeks. She attended private schools here and will attend public schools there so she is excited, plain clothes instead of uniforms!
They are still trying to sell their big expensive house.
The Dad is on house arrest with his mom....
His Jury trial date is April 2018.

Well I had better get going....
Have a great day yall!~

can you get something for your car seat? you drive so much.

That sounds like a good idea. There are seats designed especially for the driver which also removes a lot of pressure.

heading to bed....

The car seat Bobby suggested is a good idea, provided you get one that doesn't prop you up too high.

I think going to the doctor is a good idea/the way to go after dealing with your hip issues for so long. It's time to find out what's causing this level of pain. You may just need injections :hug::hug::hug:

It's too bad that more younger people aren't interested in swing dancing. I went to some classes with a friend when I was about 17 and we had a ball! I love being flipped! We were too young to get into any of the joints that had swing dancing at the time, but we would mess around.
Later, a girl friend and I used to go to a club that featured different kinds of music and had great bands. I got to swing dance once when asked. Unfortunately, the club closed. It was a big disappointment.

You have so many friends to worry about :hug::hug::hug:
I hope this friend is able to get the medical care she needs before she returns to TN, doesn't have to have that hysterectomy, and is able to get insurance when she gets back there without a big hassle.
I can't blame her daughter for being so happy about being able to go to public school. It will be a big change, and will help broaden her horizons... at least some good can come out of that mess.
I really hope that house sells fast so she can cut another tie with that scum bag, and hopefully get some money from the sale.

I hope you had a good day, Bizi :hug::hug::hug:

Thank you kay.
We will be looking at a new bed today.
Good new beds can cost $5K, friend of ours just bought a new bed.
Cost that much but his back pains went completely away!!!!!
Wouldn't that be great!!!!
Even my feet ache when I get up in the mornings.

I worked yesterday and it was a good day.
Went to whole foods and ate some delicious shrimp marinade, olives, fresh shrimp(not over cooked). spices. It was delicious!!!!!
Then had some beers with Donna. Stopped by the grocery store and picked up some groceries. The fridge was empty.
So picked up cherries, pineapple, yogurt, cottage cheese. pork roast, pork tenderloin on sale, avocados, bananas, organic grass fed beef hot dogs and some sliced turkey and ham from applegate farms.(uncured and nitrate free).
We are having food from sandras tonight for dinner:
grilled chicken shwarma, and soup. Mine will be cabbage and jeffs veggie soup.
Going to brunch in a bit....scrambled eggs with spinach and black bean salsa heated up over the eggs and a side of brocolli.
That is if we go to the hub city diner again like usual.
But we night try somewhere new????
Hope yall have a nice day!
