Wow..here it is again. Seems like yesterday that it was Easter...or was that Christmas??? At any rate...Spring is sprung and it actually might be quite nice out for the weekend..I hope so...the rain is tiring me out!!
I have been going to physical therapy for my back...the problem - along with the predictable arthritis, is tense muscles...in places I didn't even know I had muscles..So I have been getting massages along with some gentle exercises to strengthen my legs so I don't use my back to do the things my legs should do...It has really helped a lot...I have not been taking any pain meds for the last couple of weeks...tho' I am tempted today...
One thing I am supposed to do is walk more...so I have walked down to my bank which is about 5-6 blocks away. As long as I have my cane, I am doing very well at that.
I donated my car to the Make a Wish foundation...it had gotten to the point where repairs were more than I coud handle....It is a strange feeling to not have a car available to me...lots of people have said I could just call them when I needed to go somewhere...and I have found places nearby where I could get my hair cut and my nails done (two essentials in every woman's life!) I transferred all my prescriptions to be received by mail...so....I decided I would go ahead and get them all at once and then as I run out I will have what I need...well....my bathroom looks like crazy pharmacy!!! I get 3 month supply of everything...Nice not to have to trek up to Safeway every time I run out of something.
Our big family news is that Jocelyn is here from Germany for 10 days....It is so good to have her here!!!Last night we went out to the Mukleshoot casino...It was fun...I only lost $20....and the best part of that place is that they have an incredible Ice Cream shop,,,big, generous servings of every flavor known to man. Yum!!!
Gotta go now....will talk again soon....
