Picture This!!

Lovely pixs Lisa and glad you got some help with your house. I could not live without my weekly housekeeper. Dh and I barely have time for laundry and dinner after work and nothing else.

I have decided to photograph dd and her boyfriend in our botanical gardens when he visits in March. I've been wanting some group photos there for my website.

Scottie, that sounds like a fun project for March.

Lisa, pretty flower. Is that a poppy? Glad you are getting out some. I have my biopsy tomorrow and have been doing some spring cleaning early in case my thyroid will be totally removed. Hopefully that cleaning will make spring get here faster too. I can always hope!

Lisa, I got sick during the procedure and she didn't want to proceed. I had to have ten pokes in the throat and when she had got three done she said you are doing great. Then on the fourth one I was feeling okay one second and very sick the next. I ended up getting sick and she couldn't get to the second nodule. I wanted to proceed again but the doctor said no. I went home being very frustrated and not sure if I had a virus or what. Today I am not feeling well so that is the case. My thyroid blood levels are really way off. i have taken thyroid meds for years. So we are in the process of trying to get that back to normal range. I have not been sleeping very well and that is probably the reason. I may have to decide if I want surgery or not if it is benign and I really am not sure how to proceed. I won't get results for a week so I have made the mistake of looking online and that is never a good idea. I think something needs to be done as I keep producing these nodules and more this year than last. There is some pain invovled but I am not sure if it is coming from the nodule or what. So time will tell.

It sounds like you are doing well and getting out with your camera. Are you able to use both arms yet? Thanks for asking.

Bandwoman. . .sending you hugs. Can they not give you something before the procedure? I can'tell even do an MRI without something.

This tree seemed to blossom literally overnight.

Bandwoman. . .sorry you did not get a more definitive answer. Maybe the ENT will have more answers. My ds just had esophageal biopsies last Tuesday and we get the results Friday. A positive means they can use another med to treat his worsening asthma. Negative means surgery was for nothing and we still won't know what's causing it to progress at this point.

Lovely pixs Lisa. My Japanese magnolia is about to burst into bloom, which it does every year right before a hard freeze so we never get to enjoy the blooms. We might get ice and snow tonight or Friday or not at all. The weatherman can't give a straight answer here.

on the brighter side..

Saw this today. First one of the season.

love to see robins. I have never seen one here.

Lisa, what an adorable picture. Such a beauty. As we are getting quite the snowfall right now it is so nice to dream about what is to come. I can't complain at all. We have had a very mild winter overall. How is your arm doing?

Yes, Lisa, i understand the one day at a time. I am in a waiting to see if new meds will work phase. So far I have had GI trouble ever since I started on it so this is not a good sign. I have not felt like jumping in with another doctor yet so we'll see. Hang in there with your PT. I understand how long it takes concerning muscles.

Beautiful. I hope to get some things underway where I have some time to go out and take pictures.

I have a zoo membership so it's one of my backup places. I usually only want to see one or 2 animals because of the walking up and down. But I love the orangs.
