Hello everyone!

IM, glad to hear you're feeling better...keep taking it easier for a while.

DMC, sorry to hear your BIL has been ill. Hope his family is ok (I didn't see mention in the article about his mother being positive).

Sharron, sounds like your garden is doing well.

I can't remember what else I read other than the cats & their reactions to water. Opie is my water baby...whenever he hears it, he comes running and loves to get his feet wet.

Our trip went pretty well. We got the storm door on the front of the house installed. DH said it would only take about an hour but turned out to be about 2.5 (lousy instructions!). It was warm enough we tried to use the a/c DH had installed about a month ago...it's a lemon, no cooling at all, just the fan worked so that will have to be taken out and replaced. Best part, we bought a new couch! The furniture store will keep it in their warehouse until this fall when we get moved in.

Hope you all are having a good evening! We're getting off/on rain sprinkles but lots of thunder.

Hi Debby! I’m glad your trip went well. Was it a new air conditioner?
My sister said her MIL tested positive but she thinks it was inaccurate as she had no symptoms other then tiredness. So far my sister is fine.
My Opie likes water also. I see his paw tracks in the shower.

Install jobs often go longer than expected.

That is too bad about the AC not working. I hope the new one does better

Thanks DMC! Yep, a new a/c. Good thing the night was cool and we could open windows.

DH will have to take out the malfunctioning one and get another new one. He didn't have time this trip but will have to deal with it next time.

Hey, Debby! I haven't had a chance to read, but are you moving to the house you guys remodeled? I assume you are snow free now :D I hope you are well.

Hoping everyone else is, too :frow

Hi Meg, good to hear from you!

If plans work out (that's maybe a big 'if'), I'll move up to the house in Casper and DH will split his time up there and down here so he can keep his job at the golf course.

Definitely snow free around here now! It's still up in the mountains but that's ok.

How are you doing? How are my favorite cattle (you know which ones I mean)?

Well, that's neat! I bet it will be nice to be in your own place again. Is the golf course open yet?

Your favorite cows are doing good! Happily enjoying themselves in the mountains, now. It was nice to finally get them on some grass... They were ready. I will get you an updated picture next time we go up.

Doing alright here, just getting along. We lost my father in law two weeks ago, very unexpectedly, and only two days before the cows were headed out. That's been pretty rough. You just never know what's going to happen. They were set to celebrate their 50 year anniversary in September. Life really knocks you in the head sometimes, doesn't it?

So glad to talk to you and glad you're well!
 
Sporadic post... sorry long. Not writing this for sympathy just reporting on whats going on for me physically.

Therapy is doing a number on me. I had a panic attack during the evaluation. Then when the Actual therapist on Friday I actually Screamed when she had me lay on my back on the table. Bent knees helped some and rolling knees from side to side hurt all three ways side center and side. But surprisingly it partially mitigated after a while. My own stubbornness kept me going till she told me to stop.

I had no Idea how bad I was because I had been carefully avoiding pain for what a mounts to years now.

I am in pain today. I slept most of the day. But the pain is that which is from exercise mostly. I can be happy for that. She had me work on my leg ligaments and flexibility issues. And walk without the walker about twenty feet turn around and come back. I only staggered a couple of times Back was screaming when I got back. She sat me down in a soft-backed chair and put Moist heat behind my back.

Oh that was lovely. I sat there a good half hour it lasted that long.

I am ready to throw out my walker as soon as I can make it without. I almost pitched it at the clinic. It has no breaks the seat is broken and its partially the reason I am off kilter strength wise. Loading it in and out of the trunk.

I do Know I am a long way from being free from it. And My tears after the session were because I am soo overwhelmed by the journey ahead. These first weeks are going to be my hardest. But I REFUSE TO GIVE UP, as bad as I want to give in.

I am getting ex-rays soon of my back for the new Chiropractor. Hopefully they will Confirm one way or the other if I have Scoliosis developing. I have always had a sway back but its always been reasonably straight when it came to side to side.

I been falling a-lot these past couple of years. A sign? Maybe. Cause and effect? My left leg is definitely the weaker of the two. And I seem to fall on my left side mostly.

So there it is in a nutshell. As small of a nutshell as I can write.

There are some who have suggested I get this all looked in to. And now you know why I have been dragging my feet. Pun intended.
