Gotta love that first picture @dsqard !! She looks like a professional, you best watch out.

She thinks she's the queen of the May for sure. Love that little girl. Hard to believe she starts preschool this fall

I've got several of the stadium seats. Dh, and I used to go to the dirt track car races a lot, and most of them have bench type stadium seating.

I am off of the Jury! The trial was not a good fit for me...sexual assault and Murder

Yay penny. That's a nice gift, especially when you need one.

Um, too much expertise in both?
I know the lawyers don't like people on the jury that know anything about the "subject at hand". They might notice how the "facts" are being manipulated by the lawyers' questions.

Perchie, how are ya today?

better.... I burned my throat with Aleve.... Took it then layed down now its better but I am not taking aleve again till I know I can stay upright at least half hour.

I tried to buy some new clothes today but lost my fortitude... as well as got dehydrated again... I asked a gentle man to help me to the car... He was waiting for his wife.... What a nice man he was. I showed him how to load the car with my walker and collapsed in the car with my water bottle.

Sat there for a while and creeped home. The freeway was interesting and I made it the whole way home with the fuel light glaring at me for being a dufus. My son went with me to fill up gas... When I got home I collapsed.

Got back to bed with my bottle of ice a yogurt and three tylenol for my aching back. Soon as my skin stopped being cold and I warmed up... the pain went away thank you tylenol. And I went to sleep for about an hour.

People remember to drink water and use gator aid if you can. Wear a hat and dont get dehydrated in the heat.

When your severely dehydrated tyour body temperature drops and you body pulls blood in to protect your vital organs....

I thought I had been dehydrated before.... But the last time and this time were so very different... I was cold and shivering.

I am so happy that you went out!

It will get better with time. Do you get some physical therapy in the future?

Perchie keep your chin up you are still recouping from major surgery which also takes a tole on the mind

@CapricornFarm! OH NO! I hate to hear that. Oh man I don't know what to even say at this point. I'll PM you soon. I know how horrible you are feeling. Hang in there. It does get better. It just takes time. One thing I will suggest is that you look up a doc named Buriscanno on line and find his protocol for treating Lyme disease. And find a good communicable disease specialist to see because your regular garden variety MD knows nada.

Sorry I didn't check in on things for a couple of days. Been bush playing with the table saw and learning how to use it....fun.....ahd my appt with the Pain Specialist today. I go on Friday for an MRI of my neck. They are pretty sure that I have spondylosis in my neck from inflammation but they aren't sure if they are dealing with that or with entrapped nerves. They are talking cervical radiofrequency ablation. To control the pain. Does not sound like fun.

Got really PO'ed at the hospital who wants me to pay 400 dollars up front for the MRI since I just have medicare. Bad apples and all of that but come on guys. I have a good credit rating. I mean geesh.

@perchie.girl. Hang in there.Mamma said there'd be days like this there'd be days like this my mamma said..........Just keep humming that tune to yourself. I've been humming it all afternoon.

But my choice is only the Y or some sort of gym....
