For those who enjoy the weekly check in threads, my apology for forgetting to do this each week since the first one the week, May 25th. I will strive to remember to start this from now on...can't promise, but I promise!


Not much going on in my life. My son in law has back surgery last Wednesday...oh the pain! My daughter has called me daily to come over and watch the kids (sixteen miles round trip) so she can once again go to the store for items my son in law "needs." She would be gone from the house only about 15 minutes. She has been very tolerant with her patient. Today she said, "He doesn't do pain well."

I can appreciate my son in law's "pain"

I went through huge back surgery 14 years ago as part of an auto accident recovery, which took the better part of a year. I had this unbelievably arrogant neurosurgeon, but he was good and I can't complain about anything except his arrogance. I have not had any problems with his work in all these years. He told me that day after the surgery that he almost came to blows (fist fight) with the six...count them six...anesthesiologist he sent to interview me in the surgical holding area. He wanted to do the surgery RIGHT NOW!! They all refused due to toxicity in my body. So he had to wait four days for me to detox my liver...poor guy...humble was not a word typically found in his dictionary. I did get revenge of sorts. He also showed me his bruised and swollen thumb that got that way while is worked to take bone from my hip...I had very hard bone density...poor guy...I can still here him cursing in the surgical suite...LOL

Both my daughters have within the next week...one will be 38 and the other will be 39. How does this happen?? Makes me feel really OLD to see a child that will be 40 next year. I look at her from across a room and think how did this happen?

My elderly cat, 17 years, is beginning to slow down. His jumping is not too good this week. Not jumping to the really high places, like the kitchen cabinet tops. But, boy-howdie (a term I grew up with) does he enjoy imagining chasing the rabbits outside my living room windows.

Maybe it won't here this week.

Well, that is all from me for now. How about everyone else?

How are things with you?
