RE: Hello! Long Time Gone

[Guest guest]

Hey, girl! I've wondered about you! Kicked over any trash cans lately? Good luck in finding another place & moving. I moved in June & I swear this is it; I'll never move again, at least not if I'm conscious. It's been 5 months & I still haven't gotten stuff put away. My mom's illness & death made it a lot harder, but I'm still discouraged at the mess. Oh, well, sooner or later it'll get done, I guess. Keep on truckin', Granny Lunatic!

Hello! I haven't been around for a bit but still read every once in awhile. They finally blew enough of my veins to decide I needed a port. I had the surgery a week ago Friday and it was a piece of cake. Has anyone had any problems with theirs? I still have the stupid strips on it and it's itching like crazy but that's nothing to complain about. The last time they gave my Cytoxan to me it took 7 attempts before they could get a vein so I'll be glad that's over with. The only sad thing is I didn't get to go do the bungee jumping on the trampoline first. LOL That probably wouldn't have been a good idea with my cvp shunt anyway. I'm still knitting socks for the orphanage and it's time for my annual move. LOL I'm going to try to find a place that will allow a pet and the ramp to get in the building here is a bit steep and I have fallen about 3 times. No serious injuries, just frustrating. There are other issues with this apartment complex also. I am still waiting for my screen & my window to be opened. LOL A little late for that. I also requested stove knobs that didn't have the numbers scrubbed off and when they put in the new tile in the bathroom they used the wrong stuff or too much and a year later it is still oozing out from between the tiles and it's been a year since they put them in.On the positive side: My granddaughter got married the 10th of this month! It was held outside in a county park by a lake. It was warm still in October and no rain! It was a small wedding, nothing fancy but I loved it.I am still taking Cytoxan every 3 weeks but it's a very low dose. I have another mri next month or maybe December and they'll let me know if it's slowing or stopped in my spine. I am on the walker all the time now but still moving and that's what they're trying to keep me doing. I was trying to get one of those motorized scooter things but the place selling them said my neurologist said in the case notes that I could get around my apartment on my walker and medicare doesn't care if I can get around outside! That is what the chair place said. I give up! I can get a manual lightweight wheelchair to go do my shopping for about $150. I'll just give it to myself for Christmas! I took physical therapy for a month but the part leftover after medicare was beyond my means!Hope everyone has a better day. grannylunatic Store, manage and share up to 5GB with Windows Live SkyDrive.
