Hey everyone! Sorry I have been MIA but things are a tad busy around here. I may have mom talked into coming to stay with us but she's holding out. She said moving, packing and transferring banks is all too much for her. I can understand that!

Jim had botox last week and so far no results from it. The doctor said it could be three weeks before we see any benefits. She shot up the muscles that cause the legs to cross over one another and the lower calves.

I am steady in my weight, no loss, no gain but I have developed some muscle definition from building our pond. Miss Muffin Roll is smaller so that's good.

Hope everyone is having a peaceful weekend. It's our 25th dating anniversary today but nothing is on the agenda. We're being lazy butts and we're OK with that. lol

sandy...congrats on your anniversary. i hope those shots help jim. this may be a crazy idea but could they cut any nerves? would that help deactivate some muscles?

maybe AMN should build a pond somewhere

my housekeeper came today. i love the apt the 1st wk when she comes. i try to keep everything just so to make it last. pain a bit better today.

Hi, all, lookin' good all around. Hi, Billie! Glad you could make it!

I have had a houseful of people these past few days, we're down to the serious inventory and sorting process of the estate. It's a very tight, emotional time and we've run the gamut from hysterical laughter to bitter tears.

We ended yesterday with a huge feast styled after the one our parents did for us every late summer.

They're still here and there is still plenty of work to be done, but they'll all go back today and I'm kind of looking forward to some quiet and better food choices!

My brother has been making me drink Crown Royal like it's going out of style. I'm the victim here!

Hey all! Hello Judy Dear! Just catching up around here, as haven't been online much. It's Summer and the days are just flying by. We have been camping so much, but that's a good thing.

Sorry about your ongoing pain Judy, but I do think I can relate. I have been suffering for months w/agonizing neck/head pain. I went to a new Physical Therapy place yest and boy oh boy, did the therapist give me a workover. He had me squirming, but in a good way. After looking over all of my reports, etc, believes my neck was injured in my fall from the kitchen chair months ago. He has magic hands, that's for sure. I go back Wed and am excited to be able to have hope that he can relieve some of my pain.

I am not anxious to see Summer slip away. It's humid here today, but I swore I would not complain about it after Winter kicked my tail last yr. I cannot even fathom the thought of cold nasty weather.

AMN is bot footing it all over the place and it gives me a good feeling knowing that medical science is, indeed, working to improve the lives of others. With the injections, Judy~ I had several yrs ago and am under the impression (w/my experience) that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. My Dr wants to do inj's in my neck if the PT doesn't help, so I'm crossing my fingers.

Sandy~ as usual, Jim is in my thoughts, as I could learn alot from him. Seems like he gets so many lemons in his life, but he continues to make lemon meringue pie. (heck w/the lemondade) Well, have a good one all and I'll check in again.



P.S. AMN has stinky feet.

hey DM. i hope the PT helps. wouldn't that be grand?

AMN must have stinky BOT feet. i'm crack'in myself up.

went out today for errands. it's very hot here.
pain manageable. but i sure can tell a difference after those injections last wk. i feel the nerve pain stuff in my butt and legs.

well, carry on all.

Hey, Dingbat! My stinky feet wouldn't bother you if you'd quit kissin' 'em all the time!



Careful there, Judy, you're getting dangerously close to dingbatism.


Well, my eating choices have improved tenfold since I got rid of the knuckleheads. They make me eat way too much, way too often, and way too poorly! Okay, we don't eat poorly, but that's part of the problem.

I'm still alternating between fat and skinny girl clothes, I swear my fat is shifting or something. Ugh, muffin top comes and goes like MI weather and I just don't get it.

I need a manicure.

hi guys,

just checking in. busy-ness con'ts. finding a lot of new docs and making appts.
due for my annual mammo. as usual i can't wait for the all clear. i saw my new neuro this am. seems like he's knowledgeable enuf. he's board certified and has a Ph.D. but i don't know what in. neuro was stable.

however, he didn't like the way my cervical disc looked and thinks it may be contributing to my leg problems. he's sending me to a neurosurgeon here for a surgical opinion.

the "bug man" came today. i found 1 spider too many and just need to feel comfortable in my house. it really creeps me out to find bugs crawling my my house. and, some wasps were trying to make a nest outside. ewwwww

cathy and patricia come in 6/12 so we're all getting very excited to see them. it will be so nice to have them so close and will let us know how nice it will really be to have them here for good.

hope you're all ok. thinking of everyone.
