A Little Bit of Everything

Well, it has finally cooled down at night.  However, days are still warm to hot.  In the next few days it will be back up to upper 80’s and possibly low 90’s.  I am really ready for 70’s!


Tuesday was doctor day.  First stop was the Columbus Speech and Hearing Center.  The young lady that was working with me on my therapy has resigned.  She is having her second baby and has decided she wants to be a stay-at-home mom.  Good for her.  Anyway, I met with Dr. Cellino this morning.  I will be starting therapy with a new therapist on November 1st.  Her name is Elizabeth Cain.  Dr. Cellino has given me a new set of therapy exercises to do until I meet with Elizabeth.  She has decided to go back to the beginning since my problem has not been getting any better.  Some of the exercises I was doing has helped my balance, but not the dizziness, headaches and nausea.  We are going to approach this a little differently.  I am to do these exercises until I see Elizabeth, and then she will probably change some of them.  I sure hope this round of therapy helps.  I asked Dr. Cellino if this was something I might have to live with and adjust my life around; and she said that was possible.  Since they don’t know what happened to me to cause this (they only know what the problem is) they may not be able to “fix” it completely.  Okay, I can adjust.


Next I stopped at Barnes and Noble.  I had some time to waste until my next doctor appointment.  I didn’t want to drive home and back again since my next appointment was just down the road from my first one.  Anyway, I found two books.  I then went to Walmart and bought a few items.  Next was JoAnn’s Fabric and bought a few more items.  Stopped at Wendy’s for lunch and then headed to my next appointment.  This was with my GYN for my annual checkup.  Then it was on to home.  I put away all the items I had purchased, and then rested.  I was worn out.  I really didn’t do much the rest of the day.  I went to bed at 9:00.  Usually it’s 10:30.  See, I told you I was tired J


Wednesday I had a very nice visit from Pastor Andy.  He was here for about two hours.  Just wanted to check on me and see how I was doing.  I haven’t been to church very often for the past couple of months.  He is so nice, and is well known for his visits to church members. 


The ants are back!  Now they are climbing the walls in my kitchen.  It is a never ending ordeal around here this time of the year.  I just continue killing them since I can’t spray because of Penny. 


Okay, I know it has been a couple of days.  Haven’t been doing much except killing ants and cleaning.  Poor Penny, no matter where I put her food the ants find it.  This morning (Sunday) Kevin sprayed ant spray around the house.  We had quite a bit of rain last night (with thunder).  This is the first rain we have had in over a month.  We definitely need more.  However, I checked the weather and we may have a slight chance next weekend.

When we get to our age, we seem to be doing a lot of "adjusting" don't we? Just keep doing your therapy exercises. I hope you like the new person you will be working with. I hate it when I lose a doctor or therapist that you like...more adjusting. :-)
