Dog Day

I had a dog of a day today. Maybe I had today's fun yesterday. I don't know but today was a bad day. Tomorrow, I'll take the things I've had piling up by my front door to the Salvation Army. By the door is a convenient place for things to gather for I see them and am reminded to take them out, but with my knee surgery, I haven't been able to get out. I'll get Dad to help with the magazines for I don't relish going up and down the stairs that many times.

Trudy thought Forrest might have the swine flu because two days ago he ran a fever and felt really bad. He didn't have a fever today but he does have a bad case of poison ivy. She's taking him to the Dr. tomorrow. Hope it's not the flu and hope he can get an Rx for the ivy.

Day Out #2

Diane, the PT lady called to say she would be by between 1-2:oo PM and I told her I would be gone, so she came shortly after that. In fact, I was just getting dressed when the door bell rang!

Karen came over and I drove us to H'ville to the Hobby Lobby. Karen had to buy some material to make quiet books for her grandchildren for Christmas. I didn't have anything to look for so I didn't spend any money. It's such a nice store.

My knee wasn't hurt too bad! I took a pain pill before I went and one after I came back and will take one at bed time so I can sleep. Sometimes, the leg will wake me up and I will have to take a pill. Sounds like I'm taking a lot of pills but I usually only have to take one pill a day, which is not that much considering what was done to my knee. I would like to watch a movie of the operation to see what all is done. I know the top of the bones are sawed off and the new knee is crammed into the place the old bones were! Ha-ha-ha! I know, I'm weird!

I've decided to get Trudy to help me come up with 4 card designs that I can make over and over so I'll always have cards to send when I need them. All I need is a simple pattern and then I could go to town.

It's Early

It's early in the day to be posting but I was already here from ordering medicine from Medco.

I slept good last night so didn't go back to bed. I washed and folded a load of laundry and the PT lady came around 12:00 PM. My knee always feels better after exercising. I have a couple of visits left with her and then I go ssee the Dr. and then I will be going to the Wellness Center for more PT. It won't be long until it's all over and I'll be own my own with my two new knees!

I don't have anything to do the rest of the day but will find something to do.

Labor Day '09

I felt frisky so I drove to the pharmacy and then to Walmart for a few things. Walking through Walmart was a bit much but my left knee did well. I felt I could go out because I did so well at church yesterday. Sis Terri Shelby, the Primary President said she was leaving after the program and that we would have a new president. I'm very sad. Terri would go on the Temple trip and seeing her each Sunday made her my friend. Her daughter needs her and she has to go. Sis Shirts is dreaming that she'll be called as the president and she might be. She would make a good president.

I got one load of laundry done today. I'll have one more to do tomorrow. After I got back from going to town, I just forgot I had clothes in the washer. After I got ready for bed, I remembered and went downstairs and put the load in the dryer. They will be all wrinkly tomorrow when I get them out. Oh, well, what else is new?

Well...

It's Saturday and I don't want to do all the things I need to do today! I guess I will, or Frank will, vacuum the floors today for we like clean floors for Sunday.

The grass got mowed today. I don't like it when it's so tall that it leaves dead grass clippings on the grass.. Oh, well. Since I don't mow the grass myself, I shouldn't complain (always reserve the right to complain!).

Talked to Mary Kate last night. She and family are visiting Heather at her home in Tennessee. They will have a nice time.

Dad is tired today, plus is prednesone day. He'll fell better tonight.

Ah-h-h!

If I worked or went to school, Friday would mean something, but being a lady of leisure, doing bon-bon duty, Friday is just another day. Saturday, now, means I have clothes to wash and put away and the floor to vacuum.

Frank drove me to town to the Post Office and the pharmacy. The little walking I did seemed to bother my knee. Got to still be patient. Frank's been having pretty good days lately. No fevers, which is good.

Throw Out Day

Another word for trash day. I have a large container of flour in the kitchen that someone dragged out while I was in the hospital and left in the kitchen. It has a date of 1994 on it so I's say it's safe to say it's no good food wise. I decided to put it in smaller packages and put it in the kitchen garbage.

PT came today. I had decided to stay in bed 'til 11:00 AM. I must have over done yesterday for that's all I felt like doing today. After she called, I jumped out of bed and into my clothes. Sandy Sommerfeld called and talked for a while. She is planning a trip back here to take care of her mothers home. She said she was planning on visiting us while she was in this neck of the woods.

It's off to play in the flour now!
