Mima, the quilt sounds pretty. good for being down the pound. Let us know about the election just in case I don't have the tv on.

Went to the rheumatologist this morning. That is the first that I have been there since Aug. 2008, right after Bob died. She was pleased with the 17 pound weight loss (hooray!). She was also glad to hear that I have been feeling pretty good. Left knee is still an issue at times, but nothing like before. We didn't even talk about injections since it hasn't been bothering me.

It is cold, foggy, and icky here. I want to go somewhere that the sun is shining, even if it is cold.

Hey There
 

I got my first injection today.. My knee hurts. I know this may take time.. The guy who measured my knee for the brace was supposed to send a fax to the Dr. so he could get the referral into the insurance company . That was the 14th. Well he didn't do it till yesterday. I suspect he didn't send it till after I called him yesterday. He wanted me to call my Dr. to hurry it up. He was just trying to cover his butt!!!The Dr didn't have it when I called at late morning.
My weight staying the same. My coumadin level was up so now more adjustments to my med. Ask Me? Am I sick of all this stuff??
I haven't done much quilting lately. I think I need to get back to my crafts.
Sorry about the whining..
Joanne

Joanne, you have to be so tired and sick of everything. Can't believe that guy not calling the doctor when he was supposed to, well, yes I can. People just don't care anymore. Keeping you in prayers, and don't worry about the being whiny! We love you!!!!

Mima, saw the election results. I'm sure you were doing the happy dance!

Tim took the EMT test yesterday morning, and he found out last night that he passed!! He is thrilled and very relieved.

Where is everyone? Did you guys all take a trip without me?

Hey There
 

You bet I am tired of the whole thing.. We had the last of Dr. appointments today. The hubbies this time.. He has to have a colonoscopy next month.. He will see what I had to put up with. I said never again for me.. We are free of appointments for this week.
It has been warm but it did rain today about one minute.. We may get some more later tonight.
Have a good weekend...Joanne

Sorry I haven't been on-and we have been SO happy about the election. It was so frustrating before not to have a say or voice,
Hope you get your brace soon. We had a message in church about whining and how Paul was in prison in paddocks and singing and praising. Pastor said he would be whining. After that, Paul was released from prison.
Meeting gf for lunch. Her daughter is waiting to adopt a baby from a couple giving up their baby to be born in Feb. So iffy.
Suzanne is good-coming down on the 3rd.
Can't find the baby carriage-wrote to Graco to see if it's discontinued.
Brad found out his Walmart gift cert for 100 is depleted and he only spent 31. Walmart did say they would send a new card,
The quilt is beind tied now-it's pretty and full of mistakes. Bye for now Mima

Good morning even though there are no posts. Nice that it is warm here=just needs to be decent in another week. Brad got a real nice shirt at Penney's and some new tan casual pants which, of course, I have to hem.
Hope everyone is ok. Mima

I have never had a colonoscopy, and I really don't want to have one after everything that I've heard about them.

Mima, my brother and SIL adopted a baby, and they met the young girl before the baby was born. they were at the hospital for the delivery. good for Brad getting some new clothes.

We met our new pastor this morning. He starts in 2 weeks. I'm not happy that the other one is leaving, but what are you going to do? I want to give the new person a chance.

Brad and I did something I have wanted to do for a long time-we went to the salvation Army to help serve with 3 other members of our Sunday school class, Of course we got the reward but we will go back. And it was so much fun working with the others,
Weigh in this morning-I am down but I hope it shows up.
I bet eventually you will like the new Pastor.
Suzanne's carriage has been discontinued=she will have to pick out another one.
Gotta eat breakfast. Mima

Just wanted to let you all know I'm not dead. But close. I have been feeling really bad ... flare-up. Probably from all this yucky weather we've been having. It is almost 6am and still haven't been to sleep. Feel like I have the flu or something else as dreadful, just achy all over. Anyway, I'm not even going to try to catch up on all the reading so hope you all are doing ok. I read the last couple of pages - Joanne, I see you are still having the knee problems. Bless you!

I'll try and get back later. Maybe I'll be in a better 'mood'.

Hey There
 

Yes still the knee problems.. This looks like lifetime..I went to Dr. appointment and got 2nd injection.. Knee brace didn't fit. So a special one has to be ordered.. I guess this will take up to 2 weeks again.
Got to take out Christie. Back later...Joanne

Joanne, I got an injection in my ankle a few weeks back. It helped but, of course, they just don't last long enough. I need them in both knees, too, but opt not to get them. My knees are so bad to go out of place just the thoughts of putting a needle in there makes me cringe. I can't stand for anyone to mess with them for fear the kneecap will flip ... it's so painful when it does that. I hope you get a brace that fits and your shot works for you. I know how miserable it is to have knee pain. Affects the whole body (and mind!)

Mima, that's good to help out at the Salvation Army.

Meme, glad to hear from you!! Hope things look up for you. I'm tired of winter.

Joanne, sorry to hear that it will be another couple of weeks for the brace. You need relief!

Congratulations on losing all that weight. You're doing great. I need to buckle down and do 'something'. Don't know what! Just feel bad and not in the mood right now.

Hey There
 

I need to buckle down and lose some weight ,too. I just want to eat all the time. I try to stick to a good eating plan ,but. Every night I say I will do better tomorrow. Well I started good this morning. Now I need to stick to it..
Have a good day everybody...Joanne
