Picture This!!

Thank you Lisa. That is a beautiful flower. Yes, I am ready for a loooooooooooooooooooong stretch of feeling good with no more physical challenges!!!!

Nancy, so sorry about your fall. It’s so scary. I tripped over one of the dogs today and broke my fall by slamming my forehead on the edge of the door molding. Got a pretty deep gash that I might have been tempted to go to ER with....but no way. DH & I kept pressure on it, got the bleeding stopped, put neosporin on it then bandaged it...no gauze so had to use the coveted toilet paper. I think I’ll be okay. I hope you are better soon. Thanks to everyone for all the great photos!!

Yoga, I am sorry you took a bad fall too. I hope you don't need stitches. I asked my doctor where the safest location to go for this scan was. The place I would have normally gone to I think he said is set up for people who may have been infected. The person checking me handed me a clipboard to fill out questions. This person had a really bad cough. YIKES She had a mask on and at that moment I didn't. I forgot mine at home but she gave me one. I am just now thinking this all through. She handled the mask she gave me. This kind of thing can make us all a bit crazy!!!! I have a cat who has made me crash into walls before so I know what you mean. She thinks she is playing when she darts in front of me. Anyway hopefully both of us will recover quickly. I didn't get results in MyChart like I was hoping. Only blood work results. So the wait continues. I already have a brain tumor and hopefully nothing will change it's size.

Wren, sorry to hear about your friend. I actually didn't fall out of bed which is maybe what it sounded like. I was standing reaching over to turn my light on my nightstand and kept moving forward. This has been an issue for a while. I did dizziness therapy last March and was still doing some of the exercises but they can't prevent everything. Thanks. This is a fairly new doctor so I really didn't know what he was going to say. It is always better to be safe than sorry. So we'll see.

Nancy and Yoga, I'm sorry you both had falls. I hope you both recover well.

Lisa, lovely flower pic.

Nancy, I hope your test results are good and you have an easier time. You have been through a lot! In some ways my move went okay and the house is looking pretty but we are finding it hard to find things. The virus situation has made the move much harder than usual. Also, when I walked around my bedroom the first night I got itchy feet, even though I know the new carpet isn't made of wool, which I'm allergic to. I was trying to get away from things I'm allergic to, so I'm really struggling with it and wondering what to do. Thanks for hoping it's going well. Are people here interested to see photos of my new house? People usually post nature photos here.

I would check with a place that sells carpets or the manufacturer if you know who it is. It could also be that the carpet was recently cleaned and you're reacting to the residue of cleaning material.

We would love to see photos of your house. Not finding things is the usual result of moving, or at least of my moving. It's also one of the most stressful events in life. At least as stressful as having a baby in my experience.

I saw my doctor today and my CT of the brain showed no injury so that was the good news. The not so good news is a couple of my sinuses are blocked after all of these weeks of antibiotics and nose sprays etc. I am happy but would like to feel 100% soon.

Yoga, I hope you are feeling better and don't need stitches.

Cathy, I am glad you are moved in. I agree with Wren about how stressful that is. Even the thought of moving makes me feel overwhelmed. I sure hope you can figure out something with your carpet. That is a shame but hopefully it will be an easy fix and the sooner the better.

Remember one box at a time!!!!

Nancy, glad to hear about no brain injury but sorry to hear about all the sinus issues. Hopefully you will get some relief from that soon.

Aussie, what a pain with the carpet issues. Sounds like you are getting good advice here.

My injury looks considerably better than yesterday and DH and I agree i should just keep it clean. No sx of concussion, so staying away from ER.

Life can certainly deal a lousy hand!!

Kath, I did allergy shots for 38 yrs through Dec. of 2019. My allergy doctor retired and my new allergy doctor retested me and I reacted to NOTHING. She did a blood test just to be sure and again NOTHING. I was doing fine with no shots until the end of February. Now limping along with these clogged sinuses. I had to have sinus surgery in the 90's so I am really hoping I don't have to do that again. I have non allergic rhinitis which I think the symptoms may be similar to allergies but the treatments are different. Thanks for your post. I am glad you had good results from your shots. I was retested two years ago and reacted to everything. My new doctor is wondering if the cancer drug I was on for five years came into play with the no more allergies. It would be nice to think that might be the case since I had such a difficult time on the AI while taking it. I am off of it as of July 2019.

Thanks again.

Nancy

Here are some pictures I took of my daffodils the one day I was feeling better. That night is when I fell.

Lisa, I LOVE rabbits. I used to have several for pets over a lifetime. I don't like them eating my flowers though!!

Here are some more happy flowers. I experimented with another specialty lens today.

Lisa, gorgeous bunny!!

Nancy, lovely flowers.

Thanks everyone for your ideas about the carpet at my new house.

Cathy, congratulations on your new house. I love blue so I love your decor. I know you will love it after you can get your carpet situation taken care of. I wish my rooms were freshly painted and carpeted. Enjoy!!!!!

I love blue also. Love the kitchen. Have been thinking about doing it in blue and white. It is much tinier so there wouldn't be a lot of blue showing, I'm afraid. Our bathroom is blue with white cabinets and fixtures - and an orange shower curtain and towels.
