well, I finally know when my knee surgery will be, Wednesday, Dec 17th in Ft Worth, they didn't even get the surgery orders until yesterday from the office here, once she got the info the surgery coordinator called me this morning to set the appt...so someone here didn't fax it last week.... I could have been having it this week if they had! "rolling my eyes" LOL!
Hi Darlene! I've been busy making hummingbird book markers, (like the one above) they are called "diamond art". Little crystals of different colors in a preprinted pattern, each hummer is different, kinda like a "paint by number" painting is done. I've already done 8 of these, and working on the next 8...my hubby took them to his job, and everybody wanted one or 2... the 1st 8 went fast, and so many co-workers asked for more, that's why I'm doing them. We're giving them away...my fingers are tired, so I'm taking a break. I've ordered some others with butterflys and flowers, so if any of his co-workers want something different, they will have something else to choose from. I'll be doing those next week... I also seal them with a clear coating to protect the little "diamonds" from being knocked off.
Cloudy and cold today..rain moves in tomorrow morning. Will be an all day event..much colder too..41. Been a lazy day..leftover stuffed bell peppers tonight.. -:)
Hi Darlene! I saw my primary care doctor this morning, he gave me a steroid shot and a prescription to help me fight off this cold...he did tell me that my lungs didn't sound congestive, so that was good. All in all, it was a productive visit for me. And maybe I'll be over the cold before my knee surgery is scheduled. As of 2:00 this afternoon, still hadn't heard from the surgery coordniator, maybe they are waiting for Medicare to approve or disapprove my knee surgery....
Hi Darlene! I'm fighting a dang cold, isn't having a bum knee bad enough! LOL! Hoping to hear from my doctor's surgery coordinator today to get my knee surgery date... the doctor said that she could clean up the mess in my knee, as an outpatient, that my knee would be better, but not 100% I told her I'd take a little relief over what I'm dealing with now... She also said that medicare should pay for the surgery, since I've already done ALL the required non surgical methods to help my knee, which it did not help at all, in fact, my knee is a lot worse than it was last year...according to the radiologist that read my MRI from last year to this newest MRI.
Cloudy and 45 now. Rain moves in tonight. Christmas parade is tomorrow afternoon. They've always had it the first Tuesday of December. Traffic spills over to our street afterwards. I got most of the outside decorations up yesterday. Ordered pillows and garland, should deliver tomorrow. Do you still have snow?
A busy day, but got a lot done. We got mostmof the office stuff in other room. Ordered a new desk, but it won't be ready for pickup till Dec 20. He's going to use the old desk till then. We found a wardrobe today at IKEA. We will pick it up probably next week. It's just what we were looking for. Once we are able to get two more items (table and file cabinet) out of the den, we can then start rearranging den furniture around. Still hope to get then den painted and flooring put in by end of January. We'll see how all goes. Run tonight, but moves out by 5 am. I have a couple of errands to do Wednesday. Our temps drop to 48 Thursday..and mid 50's thru weekend. Nguess we won't see significant cold weather till Jan/Feb. send snow -:)
Hi Darlene! It's a beautiful sunny day here today, had my appt with the orthopedic doctor, she wants me to have another MRI of my knee, which I have scheduled for tomorrow evening at 6, she said if she had seen that MRI from last year, she would have done the surgury on my meniscus then! I go back to her on Tuesday, so we'll see what the new MRI shows, and she'll decide what kind of work needs to be done, but it will probably be done with only a laporscope (sp) and then physical therapy...YEA!
Get me down! One more second and I"m taking hostages, starting with this ornament.
