Sharing Our Day

gloriajean — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 17:23:48 GMT

Starting a new thread here for those who'd like to share their day with us, or share anything they wish.

For me today, I'd like to share with you how I've come along since I broke my hip 3 years ago, and developed Arthritis in my knees, Last Tuesday I had a couple cortizone shots into my knees, and I can't beleive how much that has helped! I can do alot more today than I could before I fell and broke my hip. I'm back to bread baking, among other things, and feeling a lot better.

If this thread doesn't go over very well, it's okay, I just thought I'd start one in place of the one in CC that is so hard to get into, and sometimes even impoosible. Just trying to make things easier. Have a good day!

I forgot to mention that before I got the cortizone shots in both knees, I had what they call Rooster Shots put in both a couple months before, that usually helps with knees, but not for me at all. That was a waste for me.

vegan - just wanted to mention too, that my husband was having Neuropathy, and his doctor suggested to him to go on a plant based food plan, he reluctedly did 3 months ago, and now, no more cramps at night, he had several, and he's feeling so much better too. Who'd ever thought? Now he doesn't even miss meat, and he sure was a meat eater before.

@gloriajean - wonderful news!! I know from hearing people throughout the world with painful health issues transformation with plant based lifestyle. I'm so happy your DH and you too @gloriajean - interestingly I have heard people taste buds change within short time no longer crave meat. Please know this news makes me smile. 😁

My life is pretty boring, lol. Dentist appointment this morning and then ran to a larger town about 30 minutes away. LOWES have some really nice perennials still instock and healthy looking, I was tempted but did not buy

I had not been to KOHLS in a long time, so I stopped in, there was very little traffic in the store. I kept wandering around for a place to scan an item as their sale pricing was confusing. The sales woman said they took them out about a year ago!! She said the company is pushing customers to use their APP, not me, so I just hunt down a sales person and they had to scan for me.

Beautiful, much needed rain this morning...now it's muggy.

Enjoy your day ladies.

@gloriajean
Today we spent some time at a Cancer Center several hours from us for my husband's Radiation Mapping. Afterward, we had brunch outdoors at a quaint restaurant in a charming little mountain town and then traveled back home.

It's wonderful that you are on the mend and that the cortisone shots are helping you! ♥️

Good morning everyone! Thanks so much for your responses here sharing your day, and Teddy, thank you much for your prayers for my daughter. She goes for her second chemo on Friday. She is cancer free, but these sessions are that no cancer returns. She has to go 9 months of this once every 3 weeks.

I hope she doesn't get sick this time like last time.

Today is bread baking day. I have a bread machine that I only use for kneading, and I do the rest. I have a bread cookbook with many good recipes I love to make. Have a good day!

@gloriajean ---well, I certainly hope for the best too----these blasted treatments are relentless tho---but at least she knows what to expect. Any day baking bread is a good day---I love my bread machine. I just got thru vacuuming, am running dishwasher now, going to the local farm later and am thinking of trying a new recipe--curried chickpeas--has other lovely things added to make a stew--looks so good in the photo--here's hoping it turns out!!!

Well I think I should share. After a recent hospitalization I was shocked to learn I’m in heart failure exasperated by COPD. It’s been tough, it’s life changing and mentally very difficult to comprehend. It’s been almost 2 weeks and mentally I’m more accepting now, but still as a single person it’s scary. God bless us all

wagirl - yes, bread machines are wonderful, if just to do the kneading! Your curried chickpeas recipe sounds good. I'm sure it turned out.

Well my day started pretty terrible. Got my Blue cross Blue Shield statement.... $20,000 of fraudulent charges on my husband's account. Medicare had paid out thousands to this fraud. Spent over an hour on phone with BC BS then Medicare. Both were very nice to deal with. Disgusting fraudsters.

On the good side..butterflies on my butterfly bushes and hummingbirds on my feeders. We'll be ok.

Hope everyone is doing well.
