Hello everyone,

I hope Monday finds you well.

It's 78° here, it's wonderful out.

PT went really good. My knee and body are working hard. The scar looks great.

I burnt my hand on the oven. It's pretty bad and it hurt like a MOFO. I'd post a pic but I don't know how on this board.

We've started weighing me at PT. I've lost 7 lbs since last Monday. Yeah, you read that right. 286 to 279. I've been eating better and he challenges me in PT. I thought my stomach looked flatter.

Have a great Monday.

Hi Kathleen well my gardens were looking spectacular if my may say so and then we had 3 nights of around 28 - 32 degrees I covered as much as I could...but you can't cover everything. So what I still have blooming are about 5 large planters of pink, purple and white petunias, about 3 or 4 sunflowers, some zinnias, some petunias on the ground that self-seeded; and about 5 other hanging plants. Oh and some nice large patches of nasturtiums. Ok alot makes me happy I could save them. And our forecast, now that we've had that killing frost, is showing at least a week of much milder; 40's at night and high 60's during the day

Kinda worried about our Pat - I will keep faith that she is okay

I'm so glad you are here Lisa even if it's in the background, and you do just what you need

Still thinking of Pat (Flower) and hoping so much that she is OK!!!

And a big Hi to Kathleen

I have been trying to practice positive thinking and being grateful for what I have, it is something I need to do like hourly to prevent depressive thoughts.

I am SO incredibly sad. On Monday, our 10 and 1/2 year old Cocker Spaniel started acting "not himself;" lethargic and not responding to us much. This lasted about a half hour and then he seemed okay. Then, very late last night (Tuesday), he went and layed in the corner and was not acting himself again. He was not very responsive and his breathing was very labored. We took him to the emergency vet. They discovered that he had a mass on or near his spleen that had ruptured. He would have required emergency abdominal surgery, which would have been very hard on an older dog; possible death due to complications during surgery... and the tumor was 85% an aggressive malignant kind that might have already spread. ☹ We had to make the gut wrenching decision to put him to sleep. 😢 Thankfully, despite their COVID restrictions, they made an exception and allowed us to be with him since it was euthanasia. But we are all heartbroken. 💔 He and my son were the absolute BEST buddies ever. He is devastated. 😢

Lisa, still and especially now thinking of you for your loss of Elvira. ❤

Hello to Holly, TREEMBBS, and Pat!
