For Older People with Sense

Chrissyb I'm envious? I want a mirrorless camera too! Having to switch from my familiar camera, though heavy, would mean learning new dials, settings, etc. Right now my brain seems to be in the off mode so much of the day that I should wait until I can process lots of new information. The upside is that I can still think about. look at options and plan for the day when I make that big decision. For now, I think I should pull out my camera and do some photographing.

Sounds like you are anxious to return home so I hope that each day brings you closer to that happening.

Socallisa: Thank you for brightening up an overcast morning here in AZ

you need some R&R, Chrissy. Sorry about all the bad news. It seems to come in bunches. When that happens, you don't want to answer the phone or check your mail. Hugs.

Magic, glad to hear your day was a little brighter.

wow Lisa I want to go grocery shopping where you go !

Chrissy, I hope you got some rest this weekend. I

I went off island with my DD this week for a day trip for her to see a doctor. Of course, we got some shopping done, too. By the time we made it home, she had to drop me at home and take my car over night. I went to support her.......

Oh man, there was lots of drama on the construction site this week. I had hired a friend to reface my fireplace. Well, he had some life events happen and was way behind schedule (like the whole rest of the project). So he was holding up the drywall, painting and finish work. Well the contractor's wife (who is also the design person) gave him a piece of her mind, big time, very unprofessional. Then she fired him. When he was really working for me. Anyway lots of hurt feelings on both sides. She threatened to walk off the job if I let him finish the last few inches up to and including setting the mantel. He feels like he's an artist and doesn't want anyone else to finish his work. So I heard all sides. Now I'm just going to have beach stone up to the mantle and then paneling. It will look more like the original room. And maybe a whole big up to the ceiling rock fireplace would have overpowered the room. I just want it to be done! I am very sick of this whole process. Instead of me trying to have patience, I feel like my patience is being tried.

Oh by the way, Kathy, glad you made it home safe from vacation in one piece. I can't remember if I told you that or not.

I just love babies,, congratulations.

Congratulations, Alyson! She's a sweetheart.

Kathy

Precious!

I.just love the sound of silence, Leah. Simply enjoy it.

well my 6 months check is now 9 months. Wednesday I see another new oncologist. That's the trouble with military medicine. The doctors move around or get out. I missed my 6 month because I couldn't lift my broken arm for a mammogram .Still can't but figure I need to see him anyway. My focus now is how to reduce the risk I have for the arm surgery. My liver Doctor says I have a 10 % chance of dying within 30 days if I have it. Right now I think I will be needing it.pooh. Too many balls to juggle right now.

SoCal: You have way to much to juggle and with a broken arm no less. Pooh is right. All those numbers flying around must be disconcerting and a bit frightening when surgery is needed. Is the surgery scheduled yet? You are in my thoughts as you work through this challenge.

One half a hug to the unbroken side

I have no idea how that was deleted. Probably I hit the wrong place on my phone. At any rate Chrissy, what a great trip to look forward to. Wow. Business class no less. Do you know where in France you visit? So much to see and do. Maybe you could even sneak over to Bruges.

Well I saw the new oncologist. He is very young and I think I threw more at him that he could process. I also knew more about some stuff than he did. We agreed to wait until after the broken arm is fixed to do anything about a mammogram or dexascan. Maybe I should request a different oncologist next time. Here's the problem with military medicine.
