February, already!!

Good Grief! Where did January go??? It was a busy month, that's for sure...and one with a few problems!!

The biggest problem right now iS my car...It has starter problems, light problems, windshield wiper problems and the radio doesn't work! I think the best thing to do is too "part it out" and finally stop driving....Lordy, Lordy...that is certainly a tough decision!!I have applied to Access to get permission to ride their vans...but you have to be fairly severely disabled to get approval....One would think that being 81 years old would qualify me - wouldn't you? Once I get that approval I can resume my volunteering which I really want to do. I have found a "Hyde Shuttle" that will take me places around here....and, of course, my kids are ready (sometimes) willing, (always) and able (usually) to haul me around to doctor appointments and such..

I saw my doctor a week or so ago and she sent me to get an ultra-sound on my aorta of all things. She thought I had an aneurysm on it....but, fortunately, that turned out not to be so. I also have been having trouble swallowing so she sent me for a "barium swallow"...ugh!! Not pleasant!! so now I need to see a gastroenterologist too see what is going on with that! Brother!!! She also said I needed to go back to the "Back" doctor- so I did that yesterday....and it is back to PT for me...this time for tight muscle type stuff.. believe me, this is seriously interfering with my social life!!!! (such as it is :-) )

Jocelyn took off for Germany on Sunday for another 6 months.. She is pretty excited about that excerpt for the fact that she will be leaving her two precious grand-babies. She will return in early April for 10 days and be back home permanently in mid-July. She landed safely and is happy to see her friends again...and is back to work! What an opportunity this is for her!!

Well I had best get to gettin' I will try to post more often..Take care,everyone!
