It's Almost Fall!

Hard to believe, isn't it!!We have had marvelous weather the last few weeks.....but it is now going back to the normal stuff...I did enjoy the summer - even if it was late - and short!

I went to the physiologist - and liked him a lot! He sent me for another test - a SPECT test...good grief - it was an all day affair, almost...Went in at noon to get an injection of some radio-active stuff...then had to wait two hours for it to get into all my bones....then back to the nuclear medicine place...They put me on the table - strapped my feet together, strapped my arms to my body and started the machine...they were done two hours later...Thought I would go crazy!! Fortunately I am not claustrophobic!! The next day the doctor called and I have a stress fracture in my spine...no wonder it hurt! Must have happened during one of the many falls I have had over the last year...so...back to PT for four weeks...if that doesn't work then he'll do an injection of some sort....I would think it would heal in that time, wouldn't you???? We shall see.....

Best news now i s that I now have a new great grand-daughter....born 9/9/11, 8 lbs, 3 oz., and 19" long..named Brynlee Ohana Mukai....and, of course she is a real sweetie!!!! Ohana is a Japanese name (her daddy is half Japanese)...it means something, but I don't know what...I love how the name flows tho'.... She is a week old yesterday and doing very well....so tiny! - compared to her big(!!) brother Grayson....Grayson seems to have accepted the new one pretty well...he does have his moments but that's to be expected...He is a precious little boy...so cute - and so smart....do you suppose I am prejudiced?

Better get going here....it is almost noon and I haven't had breakfast yet!! Talk to you later.
