Over 60 and still working/ Wednesday

[mooselady12]

Good morning and happy Wednesday! 

maryenne, I am glad you recognized that you might have a UTI and were able to get it treated so quickly. It certainly saps the strength! 

Esther, I have keep a file of recipes that I see on TV or clip from magazines. I love soups because they are quick to make, the recipes are very forgiving. My sausage and bean soup was originally black bean and sausage soup. I had a can of black beans and a can of white beans- so it was no longer black bean soup- just bean soup. 

Waving to Joyce. 

I have a school visit this morning, then I am off for the weekend! New I am off to have a cup of coffee before hitting the shower. 

Have a peaceful day. Lynn

Good morning!

Lynn, school is really keeping you busy, but it sounds like you enjoy it.

Maryenne UTIs can really drain your energy. Glad you recognized that might be the problem and got some help. Hopefully you will feel better very soon.

Esther, it's wonderful that you are able to be back with your band rehearsals. I know music brings you so much joy.

Our wind seems to have died down now, and the sun is shining. I am feeling more human and positive today. I was finally able to get a good night's sleep after taking an Ambien, and that certainly helped. I can see improvement in my knee, so I am feeling upbeat about not having to cancel our trip. It's stiff and a long way from normal, but definitely improved especially since Monday. I'll be anxious to hear what the Dr says this next Monday. It is still swollen although I've been using ice packs. Not sure if that is just from the injections or if there is more fluid which should be drained away. I did take the precaution of ordering a light weight quad base walking cane from Amazon to take with us just in case I might find it useful on the trip. Will decide before we go whether to actually take it or not, but at least I am feeling very hopeful now that we won't have to cancel.

Good morning!

I've had my blood work and now having breakfast at a local place. It rained all night and will rain all day.

Hugs to you all.

nashville11 , if you have room for the cane I suggest packing it. If you need it you will have it. If you don’t need it, then you have a “security” blanket. Ask me how I know!
