Granny's gone and done it again

Hi Blue, are you getting stronger yet ?

From the Covid, yes, thanks. Then I guess I overdid it yesterday like a fool and was stuck in bed all day today from my ankle. Fortunately The Kid was home from school and was able to help out a bit.

Bandit just fell off the couch again. Dumb dog.
I said Made Robert go w/ me but Robert decided he was going anyway. He didnt want me out w/ just Tom.

How old is Bandit and is this something new?

I see the foot dr the 16th. I'm supposed to see the neck dr this Thursday, weather allowing. I got 3 different diagnoses on my neck including osteoarthritis, cervical spondylitis, and one other thing I can't spell or pronounce. But all that is affecting my shoulders, arms and hands. Makes me wonder if it's affecting this leg as well. It's pinching nerves. They're going to test me for sensation (feeling) and response (paralysis). I can hardly wait, ha ha (not!).

I don't think your dog is falling because he's dumb, something else is going on. When does it happen? Just as he's falling asleep, or after he's been asleep awhile? Where on the couch is he when he falls off?

Oh, so he's distracted. Focused on the itch and not paying attention to where he is. I don't think that means he's dumb. Do you treat him for fleas and ticks?

yes he dont have any bugs.
I hope you can keep your appt. Sounds like me, we are falling apart .

everyone that meets Bandit talks about how smart he is. I think he is good at fooling people. LOL

Indeed! Falling apart is hard to deal with, I have always been fairly active. What's really hard to deal with is the feeling of being useless. I have not been able to cook for my family but a couple of times in the last month due to Covid; I was just getting on my feet when my ankle decided to fall apart. It's hard to stay off it and let it heal. But apparently I must.

I deal with that feeling all the time. Its terrible to feel useless. Depressing . I am sure yours is temp.
