Wren I have to get it decorated but I never thought about my cat, she's so skiddish about so many silly things. This should be interesting. for her and me. U know I feel like I'm giving in by getting a cane instead of helping me. I wish I could get over this stupid feeling. And t is stupid. LOL
-
Cami, I've been using a cane for a few years now. Found a beautiful one at Walgreen's of all places, and I've gotten so many compliments on it. I got it mostly because I have no cartilage in my knees and I only use it when I'm out and about as I don't have too much trouble getting around in the house, although it's come in handy after surgeries. You'll be surprised how much you lean on it!
-
Mags, keep it coming funny one, Chevy needs some competition. I will zip over to Hermits to read your tale of near disaster...
I have been BUSY....getting the house ready to sell has taken over my life. DH will never see the stuff that needs to be done, not in his nature. I bought a new shower curtain rod, that came with a nice curtain ( Costco ) thinks it silly to spend $ on updating stuff.....DD tells him what's what... She is blunt as they come. Tells me all the time "your clothes are too big & baggy".
I am going to go back & try to catch up....
Patty P, have a great time with your boys tonight. Get a heated throw or blanket as warm as it will get. Take it, so you can start toasty. If you stop somewhere, plug your self in for a few minutes. I bought a heated throw yesterday at Costco for $24. They have them on sale, $6 off.
Blondie, it's you ! Cool, I love photos.
Ok, hello to all....Be safe...


-
oh, SMAARTY, take me with you !!!! I will miss you on Words with Friends & here...
-
went to ortho, it's broken. In a hard purple cast for 5 weeks
Cami, my great grandfather made this cane. I've used it, it really helps. Better than wall walking!
Today is Spookies birthday. She is 5! I can't get her shirt on with this cast. It says I'm the birthday girl. She and Kris will have s special cookie later

Aw sheesh! It IS broke! Hope it's not your right hand... I could never do my hair, OR make-up! I would be banished to the damn house! I'm sorry Spookie!
Okay and Cammi, little honey, yes, we must use a cane.... but only when we walk.... I bought my flowered one from King Soopers! I think for about $15! But I bought another one at Ross, for only $10, and it is one of those ones you see on TV, that has like 3 little suction .... no, they are not suction cups.... they are 3 feet, and it will stand by itself.... Also has a light, for when we want to go out at night in the alley....! You know for "work"???? But I like my plain flowered pink one better, because ..... I don't know why. The other one will fold up....
You could lay your cane on the bed, and lay there with Katy-Kat, so she won't be afraid, or use it slowly, like right next to your leg. I notice when I use it more, my back doesn't hurt.... But when you limp, or walk bent, it hurts your other parts.... So go get a damn cane!
Spookie, I love that cane! I also have my Grandma's.... It's a little twisted wooden one...
And Spookie looks like a Princess! Ha!
Rosie, I just have on a Christmas sweat shirt, and my pants! But I have the Halloween decorations on the front porch.... just waiting for the little gremlins!
And wait...... Mags? You FELL? Oh for God's sakes! You weren't even pole dancin' or nothing? I have to go read it.... You should copy and past that post here... but it's okay.... I'll go read it.
Did you hurt anything? On you? My DH tripped on a rug that was folded inside the door at the store today, and as he was trying to fall, he threw his hand out, and it came down on my arm, and now I have a black, purple, and blue bruise on my arm! But at least he didn't fall.... I am so used to looking where I am walking now!
Sass! Come back when you got everything fixed! These broken things drive me nuts.... I just hate to even THINK about something breaking down! And those guys I sent you are so hard to find nowadays! Hour DDDBBBBFFFF is skinny? Is that attractive? Can't you fatten him up a bit? THEN post a picture of him....

No its been a long day, But still its nice to see others and their
caring hearts, Faith and I went out for a walk and it started pouring
and got home it stopped. Lucky I cover my wheelchair with raincoats
Hope everyone has a safe Halloween
-
Hi,Probably some soaked trick-or-treaters!Is Faith, for the time being, getting a break from seeing the Vet?
-
hi guys. We're in SF. Fly tomorrow. I will post when I can and read of course. Don't want to get pages behind. I'll post pics too when I can if you guys want me to.
HI1- I'll play when I can. This game is almost done. Don't start a new one until I get back if you want.
Spookie, why is her name Spookie? She doesn't look scary!
Sorry about the fall mags, sound like nothing got broken. That's a good thing.
Whoever broke her arm, 2nd??, sorry about that, hope it's not your dominate hand. You guys be good now.
-
Funny you should mention almond joys... My 13 year old just traded a bunch of candy she didn't like for Almond joys which she loves! We are still getting a ton of adorable little kids! One little boy suddenly bent down and dramatically came back up. I wondered what is this little guy doing? Mom pitched - "he's transforming!" But of course! Hey what do I know being a dumb 56 year old? I had one preschooler jump up and down shouting "me pick!" So I let her and she was most gracious, took one and shouted "thank you!" Being little she had a BIG voice! Loved it. I think I have as much fun watching and listening to the kids as they do going out. Yep supporting our dentists! Had one kid with a zipper down his face and the most amazing make-up.. totally disgusting and very real looking. Yep I love Halloween. Won't turn off the light until 9:30 catch the last of the teenagers.
Any one else awake?
-
Yes and I am very happy about that, She is starting to talk
again, can say I love you and other things like no. I has not
help my sleep, cause I still weak up to check on her and then
can't sleep as usual How are You doing?
-
One of the dentist said that he would buy the kids candy
if they brought it in to his office.
-
Faith must be a sweetie pie.
I never gave up any of my candy!
-
Hope You are going to have a good night, How do You
relax yourself when you cant sleep,
-
Who is starting to talk again? I missed something. Glad you made it back from your walk and didn't get too wet. We are still getting the stray trick or treaters so I am up. I enjoy the kids. Hope everyone is safe and having fun.
-
Sometimes I just stretch out in bed and give my butt a break from the recliner and computer chair.
-
I try to stay awake until midnight to say Hi to Foots!
Foots dog Faith is starting to talk again.
-
Thanks for caring my friend, I hope everyone here and You Teka
take care, I have to get my machines ready, and that makes my
sleep problem worse. But life is good when You know you are not alone.
-
Have a restful night.
-
Rose,Are you pulling an all nighter?
-
mags - sorry to hear about your fall. I guess some people will do anything to get out of wearing a costume. Lol
Teka - too funny. Thread slowing down.
Chevy well at least you tried for mags. Maybe next year.
Cami / I bet you can find a rocking looking cane. Better to party with a cane than be laid up with something broken at home right ?
Wren - cane wrappers. Never heard of such a thing but sounds cool.
Holeinone - I had no idea they had electric throws I thought only blankets. I am always sitting with a throw on for warmth even in the summer.beung old makes my bones hurt worse. I am def gonna go look for one this week. Gotta have it.
Spookie - purple cast for 5weeks. Bless your heart. Sounds like a pita. At least you'll have it off by Christmas. That s sonething positive to look forward to. Is purple your favorite color ? Did they give you a choice in color ?
Still no Hawaii pics from garden gumby. ?
Rosevalley. Lol too funny with all the people in here who should have went as patients.
Well dh and both ds's and I went trick or treating. We met with some friends. I think there was 10 adults and 8 kids. Most everyone dressed up. It was cold. Like 43. I was toasty warm in the wheelchair under the blanket with a few layers of clothes on. My dh looked mighty sexy with his scrubs on pushing my wheelchair. Told him to keep the scrubs if my bones ever allow a good toss in the hay again on a regular basis he might need that sexy dr's outfit. Ok tmi. Sorry. Oldest ds was a yellow m&m and youngest ds was a hamburger. Not sure what happened to the old costumes , like ghosts , mummies cowboys etc.
Hope everyone had a safe Halloween.
Hootie hoo

Oh boy I did not get many trick or treaters. I lit into the candy and I can't seem to sleep watching Perry mason again. Hope I can wind down soon.
