Good evening to all! Dry, dry, and more dry. Wind, windy, and more wind! Low temp was around 40, went up to 68, now just breezy. No wind forecast for next few days, temps climbing into the low 80's by Sunday. No precip forecast but what else is new!
Well, continued to not be able to bear weight on the knee again this morning, still swollen. Went for Dr's appt today. Had to stop 3 times while walking across the giant parking lot. They took a few X-rays, then the doc manipulated the knee/leg inflicting more pain. He said: it's really swollen, I said no-duh! He said he was going to aspirate the fluid out....I know what that entails... I won't go into great detail, but it involved using a very large needle. He took out 60+CC's of bloody fluid. Hurt like h**l even w/ lidocaine for numbing. He also injected some cortisone. Now back on rest, elevation, and ice. No PT next week, follow up in 10 days. Oh well. He said this sometimes occurs, if it doesn't get better in a week, we'll discuss then.
Wow, had a bunch of catching up to do...
Randy, glad you're feeling better and getting over the pneumonia.
Don and Kyle, I wish we had wild berries like you guys. It's way to dry here, even the weeds won't grow! Do you guys ever pick, containerize, and freeze for a later date? Sure would make a nice winter treat!
Jay, why didn't you catch her?
it's always the simplest things that get us hurt! At least I can say I never had a pair of flip flops on my feet---EVER! Even as a youngster. I hope Peg can recover quickly. Hope you can maintain your sanity....for that matter, I hope you both can! Question: since the wifey wears flip flops, do you wear clogs?
:laughing:
PJ, it is amazing how new tires do that to the ride? I think it's because they wear over a greater period of time and we just don't realize how the ride quality has deteriorated as much as it has.
David, glad to hear that you guys are safe. Also glad that Sophie is feeling better!
Ed, good luck with the plumbing, I too also hate plumbing work. It never fails that I need some obscure part / fitting that requires going into town , to multiple places, because everyone needed the same fitting. Anyway, I hope your project goes well!
Drew, make sure you keep that eastern snake out there in the east. Garden is looking good.. You were making my mouth water when you were talking about the peas!
Multiple prayers and thoughts out today! Everyone have a great weekend
