My Week Before Last Post


Now that's a title :)

Continuing with the doctors.  Thursday was a trip to the Urology Center of Columbus.  After running a couple of tests I am now scheduled for a CT scan of my bladder and an ultra sound of both my bladder and kidneys.  Then it will be back to see the doctor.  All three of these are in April. 


Next week I see the podiatrist for a checkup on my toe that had the nail removed.  I also need him to check a toe on my other foot. 


Also in April I have an appointment with the orthopedic doctor to check my knees.  The shot they gave me helped the right knee, but the left one still hurts like crazy.  I haven’t been able to do my rehab exercises for my hip because they hurt my knee.  Not sure what they will do next.


Wednesday was laundry day, which wears me out because I am on my feet so much.  Then today, Thursday, was grocery day which also wears me out.  By the time I shop, load the car, drive home, empty the car and put the groceries away I am done! D. O. N. E. DONE!  Both knees are hurting now.


Friday I spent most of the day working in the She Shack.  I am making great progress on Jana’s quilt top, and I am almost finished with my large tote bag.  I have been doing some research on the computer because there are two quilts I want to make and I am looking for patterns.  I may have to make them up as I go.  I’ve done that before.  I am also looking for a couple of patterns for another type of tote bag/purse and table runners and placemats.  I may make those up as I go along also.  I have pictures of what I want to do.



Saturday was work done in the house and going to Mass.  Sunday was my do nothing day.  I did print pictures of all the items I quilted to put in a book.  I am also going to start a book on my embroidery projects.  And a third book will be for patterns for both sewing and quilting. 


Now I need to find someone to hire to weed my garden areas.  I seem to have a problem getting that done because of my knees. 


I also watched the NASCAR race on Sunday.  I thought it was boring.  I was hoping Clint Bowyer would win.  He is such a redneck, but is my favorite!  I have also been rooting for the Auburn basketball team.  They made it to the Final Four.  WAR EAGLE!!!!  I wish them the best of luck.


It’s been a busy week so far.  I have spent time in the She Shack working on Jana’s quilt.  I have been working on my tote bag.  I have been getting fabric together to make a wall hanging in my kitchen.  I hope to finish that and the tote bag this week.  I have also been doing some research for patterns on a couple of items I wish to quilt; one is a bookcase quilt and I have several ideas for some jellyroll projects.


I would also like to mention that it looks like all my trees made it through the winter except the weeping willow.  The trees in containers on my deck are looking awesome.  We should be able to transplant a few this fall.  My snowball bush is beautiful this year.  It has started to bloom and I have many blooms.  I will take a picture when I get a chance.  I have one yellow iris blooming.  It has three blooms on the stalk; one is blooming the other two are buds.  My azaleas are starting to bloom.  I have day lilies coming up in the containers they are in.  Two of the rose-of-sharon bushes made it through the winter along with the rhododendron.  Even the Franklin trees have leaves.  Okay, I will stop here and just say everything is starting to look healthy.

I am going to end this here, and start a new blog for the past week.  This is basically from the week before last.  LOL

You get sooo much done, I don't know how you do it!!! Good luck in your upcoming doctors' appointments.

I had a follow up appointment at my PCP this morning for my blood pressure. It was 120/80! Yay! It took about 12 days on the medication before all previous symptoms went away. So the medication will stay the same and I go back at the end of June for my regular checkup.
