and friends
Went for a 4 block walk this afternoob when it was 80 out.
"but" i should have gone after i got dressed this morning when it was in the high 50's!
but i just couldn't get my mind set on doing it then.
I am getting a lot of unwanted phone calls again on my house land line phone and of course numbers not known to me so i didn't answer any of them! I have blocked a few !
lubs ya!
It was a little hot this afternoon.
I haven't gotten any calls. I've been getting so many junk emails - more than I've ever gotten.

@Yahooey :Yes- Baking a cake. She has really helped but still she's something. I have caught her in so many inconsistencies. The other day she was getting ice for her tea and replied : I prefer the cube ice but this is always on crush🤷♀️🤷♀️- just change the button. Then the next day when I explained how the crush ice messes up the ice maker: her reply- oh no..... I always use crushed.
So I guess she assumes that we are so in need of her help that we will answer any questions about our bills and income. She was talking and trying to get me drawn in to slip and give up information. She was talking about a widow relative getting ready to marry again but afraid she will mess up her social security income that was $1000 and committed that her deceased spouse had good jobs and compared to us - then our income should be the same or doubled - right? Me didn't change facial expressions or body movements , no replies but sternly looked at her for over 5 minutes. DH had gone to the bath room when this happened. Then she asked how much DH spends each month eating out. I told her that was his business but in my mind- why because she gets free meals eating with her brother. Then she asked how much our cable bill was since we have three tvs. I replied- why- you have one tv and direct tv and we have a cable company that she previously used. I appreciate her help but not the other junk. I told DH everything she was asking. He said he never really talks to her and just lets her rant with her junk while they are eating. Another thing that upsets me: DH was told to take the pain medication every 4 to 6 hours but she tells him- if you are in pain take it 3 hours and you don't need to do the pt 3 times a day if you don't feel like it.😳😳😳🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ Ok rant over. But you understand why I am mentally and physically exhausted plus sleep deprived.

She really needs to mind her own business. Is there somewhere else you can sleep to get some rest?

@SouthernBee , unless she's a nurse, doctor or pharmacist she needs to shut her trap about the pain meds. As a retired nurse, take as directed and if there's breakthrough pain, take some ES Tylenol.

@Bri369 : Thanks. Not really. I am trying to watch his breathing because issues with the bipap machine,hose and mask. New supplies ordered but waiting on the durable medical supply company.The bipap machine has been reset several times. Plus the pain medicine at night - he needs help getting up at night to go to the bathroom. Finally the swelling in his left hand is going down. This morning he got up at 3 a.m. to go to his computer to read emails. I got an extra hour of sleep and went to check on him.

as i'm sure u know
it is really really really important to do PT
bc if u dont do it now - it won't magically be great a month from now
pancake cant mess w/dat
it will hurt and u still gotta do it
at age 26 - i had a lateral release on my knee (knee cap kept slidding off)
my cast was from my cr@t@h to my ankle- back in the stone ages
when they cut my cast off 2 weeks later - had to do PT - it hurt like heck
i couldnt do a single leg lift w/o the aid of electrodes to stimulate the muscles
i never worked out before - from then on - i always excercise
sometimes more - sometimes less but i didnt want to be immobilized again
good luck as the journey goes forward
