    The Old Folks Home

    DH went through the ablation last year. Started feeling better in October with no signs of A-Fib. Then it came back in December. So much for it lasting 5-10 years. Doc didn't suggest a second one but started him on beta blockers. It's under control now for him. I have been on beta blockers since...

    That's what I told my husband. He said once that maybe I needed a sleep study and I told him that I was really impressed on how well he handled the CPAP machine because I didn't think I would do nearly as well as he is doing. I'm too locked into a routine when I go to bed. Maybe with time I...

    Slowly getting over the shoulder and biceps surgery. Doc discharged me three weeks ago but told me to take it easy and not do a lot of pushing and pulling with that arm. No desire to do that. Strength is returning slowly but I doubt if it will ever return 100%. Told DH this morning, at least the...

    Well darn. I knew you were doing work with solid blocks of clay but I was hoping maybe there was a ceramics shop around you somewhere. I swear the closest one I can find in in the middle of Kansas. Not even close enough for a day trip but.....maybe I can email them. Hmmmmmm. Anyhoo, so how are...

    Hey Cap! Good to see you! I've been hoping that you would pop in. How are you feeling? Do you have access to any ceramic shops where you are? I'm looking for two pieces that I need to finish a Native American Nativity that I picked up at a consignment shop. Your the only other person I know who...

    It's been cloudy and chilly here for the past few days. Highs in the mid 50s. I almost wish it would just rain and be done with it.

    Sounds like Slow K. Yeah, I've taken them too. Danged things are just nasty.

    Well it is, I've just never been one to subscribe to regular exercise. When I was in my late teens and through my 20s, I had horses which means I spent time unloading feed bags and stacking bales of hay and straw, into my older adult years, I enjoyed and still do enjoy target shooting and...

    I'm still doing the stretches they gave me in PT when I feel things tighten up. I'll have to try the one you do and see if it helps. The rotator cuff repair hardly bothers me at this point. I get a few catches and clicks and twinges but that is all. It's the biceps repair that is giving me...

    Morning everyone. It's been a while so I thought I'd drop in and see how everybody is doing. I finally got released by my orthopedic surgeon. My shoulder still isn't healed completely and lets me know that on a regular basis but he says that at this point more PT will only make me sorer and I...

    Yeah or a medical supply store but you will get the best prices, unfortunately, at Wally World.

    Same here Granny. Woke up with my IBS bothering me. Just miserable crampy, tired, blah feeling. Eased off about 2 so I went out and finished digging my cannas. Got them loaded in my little wagon and pulled into the shop. I'll lay them out tomorrow and let them cure before packing them in sawdust...

    Walmart has them starting at 11.99. Look for: Healthline Blue Chucks Pads.

    Just a PS. I once observed to my pastor during one of the meetings, 'you make this sound like we are running a business' His response? 'That's exactly what it is'. That was a shocker. @troyer. Oh man, lamb chops and bread fried in meat fat. I'm salivating even as I feel my arteries clamp shut...

    @Finchbreeder and Blue this isn't political at all. The whole world is a business. Trust me, even the church you go to only operates because of the donations that are dropped in the collection plate every Sunday morning or whatever day you choose to worship. If the offerings don't add up, bills...

    Pain meds with people with dementia=fall risk big time. Glad you were nearby. Did anybody by chance leave you a gait belt? Its a thick woven belt about 2 inches wide that you can cinch around a person's waist and use it to catch/steady them when their gait is unsteady or they are heck bent on...

    I just finished digging out my standard canna bulbs. Ick what a job. For some reason they went really deep this year even though they were planted in a 'damp' area near the house. My arm is a'achin but at least those done. Tomorrow I can dig up the dwarf cannas and get them inside to cure. They...

    Sorry for the absence. Just tired and trying to get things caught up before the inevitable winter cold settles in. Thought you all would enjoy seeing our little mass murderer, Varn in his Halloween costume. I wish we could get him to leave the wig on but he seems to like the little suit so we...

    Rotten, lol. No, about average. Have to ask DH but probably something like 18 on a good day. With a tailwind. But it's like driving a truck with a covered bed and we moved from Illinois to Missouri with the silly thing and the only trouble she caused us was a blown tire. That's a lot of 300 mile...

    Our Econoline van is 20 years old this year and we are starting to talk about getting another vehicle. We'd like a 4 wheel drive pick up due to our roads out here or at least something 4WD with enough ground clearance that we wouldn't be dragging the undercarriage on the crown of the gravel...
