For Older People with Sense

Hi all!

Haven't been on for awhile. Finished rads last Wednesday! Happy to report the emu oil workEd like a dream for me. I have some pink skin and redness where I had my boosts, but no blisters, peeling, ect. I still nap everyday but otherwise feel good. Only lingering issue right now is the neuropathy. It isn't as bad. I can feel my big toes now! Lol. Fingers are annoying though.

Now I'm feeling weird that I don't have any dr appointments until December! Lol. Will be seeing my MO every three months now.

Good news! My son returned home on Saturday after a nine month deployment! His wife and kids were able to greet him when his ship got to port. I am looking forward to seeing him this Christmas!

There is so much to read, I fear I will never catch up! Mac, I'm glad you had a fun vacation! Chrissy, I hope you are doing well! Was glad to hear that Barbe is ok. Lisa, we need more photos! Lol

Hope you are all well! hugs, lilyrose

Beautiful photos, Lisa! Looks like such a peaceful place.

Congrats on finishing rads, Lilyrose. How wonderful that your son's back for now! I know you'll be excited about Christmas this year--getting to see him will be the best gift you'll get!

Chrissy, hope you have a great trip and a great visit with Alyson. Sounds like you have everything under control so all you have to do now is enjoy it, and to remind you---don't forget your passport!

Lilyrose, yay!!!!!! For finishing rads. I hope your skin continues to improve. Give yourself time to heal.

I have a question for everyone. Has anyone been prescribed low dose naltrexone? My pain management doc told me about it. She said it boosts immune systems and improves energy. Some of her patients have gotten great results. I did a Google search and some sites call it a wonder drug, but it is not FDA approved for this off label use. My PCP is not excited about it. She has patients that it has not worked. So just wondering if anyone has firsthand experience with it?

Then I saw my chiropractor. She said I have tired adrenals. So I am starting with an adrenal supplement. I just feel like I drag myself through every day. I also had my trigger point injections in my neck and upper back. I know that makes me feel better.

Then I went to the old dog park with my dog and ran into the old gang that we use to walk with all the time. They all said they had missed us. It was a great social activity for both of us and we got some exercise, to boot.

Lisa, Love, love, love those photos!!!! Such beautiful lilies!

Mac, Thanks. I feela little better everyday. My skin looks way better than I ever imagined! Never heard of that medication...so I'm of no help there.

Kathy, Thanks. My son called me and we had a nice chat. But I'm really looking forward to seeing him and his family at Christmas!

Chrissy and Alyson, I hope you are having a great time!

I had a busy week. My anniversary was on Monday (41 years) ! Tuesday was our oldest daughter's birthday, and Wednesday was our GS' 13th birthday. Phew! I'm tired and we have Thanksgiving coming up! I'm getting out of cooking this year! Yay! Just bringing a ham and whipped topping for the pies. My daughter has six kids that eat like horses, so we have a ham along with the turkey. Lol

Our weather has finally cooled down a bit. I finally turned off the AC this week!

Hope you are all doing well! Hugs, lilyrose

Yes Chrissy. The lilies are from the pond in Balboa Park. Have a fun time! 😄

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Leah

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving

Wilsie, I hope you'll be feeling stronger very soon. Do have a great time at the football game and pig roast! Sounds like fun, and btw I'm for Auburn too.

DH did most of the pre-Thanksgiving cleaning here while I cooked, which I'd much rather do. I threw out the little dabs of leftovers tonight (not much since we always send the kids home with plenty) but still have enough turkey for another round of turkey sandwiches, my favorite part. Then tonight DGS (age 5) is here for a sleepover and a hiking trip with Papa tomorrow. So, a free day for me, and they're even taking the dog!

Hope all had a great thanksgiving!

What a happy group of bc sisters in the photograph! 

Wilsie, dh and I were talking today about that AL/Auburn game last year when Auburn won.  It was one of the most sensational endings ever! 

We travelled to Illinois for Thanksgiving and arrived at dh's sister's house on Wed. about 1 pm.  About 2 pm it started snowing!  So our timing was perfect.  The snow accumulated and was very pretty.  By yesterday morning when we were ready to leave and drive south, the snow had melted.  More good timing!

Alyson and Chrissy, Looks like you are all having a great time!

mac, I hear ya on being tired from your yard sale. We were talking about having one just to rid ourselves of some of the mountains of extra horse stuff that we aren't really using. After looking at all the work it would take, we decided to just sell some of the good stuff on eBay. DH is in charge of it so I escaped that job! Lol. Glad you got to see your kids for Thanksgiving!

Hope you get a good night's rest, wilsie.

lilyrose, I know ebay is probably the way to go these days. we still have stuff to jettison. Made the rounds of the thrift stores today and going to the dumptique tomorrow. Also have a guy coming by to look at the furniture still left, from a consignment furniture shop. It is called "Take a Seat" (cute)

Hi all. Chrissy is on her way home. It has been a great week and we have had fun.

Hugs to all
