Hi Snappy:
Hadn't been on this site for a few days so needed to catch up. Since the ladies are always asking about you I will inform them that your schedule for treatment is still being set up.
Can see how you'd be concerned, especially about not sleeping, but somehow all those things I imagine never seem to happen so hang in there and try not to look ahead too much.
LOL! Oh no, I'm not an early riser at all. Just can't seem to get into a pattern of going to bed early as I used to; since I just lie there what's the sense? You will often find me prowling the house at 1:00am when everyone else has their lights off. Dont' sleep, well never through the night, so I am fortunate indeed these days to be able to sleep in; I won't even say what time that can be. I do take an occasional sleeping pill but not every night.
Don't blame you about your hesitancy to drive; I feel the same way and am only comfortable with short trips within the neighborhood. A couple of ladies I know had to stop driving, both about 84, as they seemed to be unable to navigate easily any more.. Each had family members who had to drive long distances to pick them up and in unfamiliar territory.. In each cases a person noticed the confusion and called the families. I hope this doesn't happen to me any time soon as I am pretty dependent on myself to get around. They do however, deliver groceries in my area for a fee and that's the way it may have to be. Most of my doctors are very close but eventually I may have to find a way to get there.
We are both thankful for all our blessings, Snappy; how many people are as well off as we are anyway?. Most of my Christian friends are gone now and it's a pretty uncomfortable feeling to always be one of the oldest every where I go.I will say that many who are several years younger have not aged well at all. Wrinkles were late being obvious here but I can't say that any more; particularly the side slept on. I have become like my Mother and hardly think of any of that any more;
I so enjoy wearing these comfy clothes and knowing that someone else will get use out of those I am discarding makes me happy, much too many dress clothes. Salvation Army is where they go as that organization has the least overhead of all these charities. I think I told you I bought a tunic that is so comfy, I am living in this so went back and ordered several more; they often have returns of popular items on the" As Is" site for almost half price So far have had good luck there.
Have good days and bad ones, Snappy. Those stomach and bowel problems are so painful but then they don't happen every day. Am losing sight in one of my eyes after having catarac surgery which at first seemed very successful. Have had another opinion and neither Dr. understands why. May go to Johns Hopkins for a final look before I decide whether or not to have a needle inserted in the eye which they say will help to restore some sight. This has always been my weak eye and something about it just doesn't feel right or normal.anyway. I don't mention these things much as it makes me think on them more.
Keep us posted, dear Snappy.
Love, HiLo
