Hump Day-What's New?
Hi Judy and OFF,
Judy can so identify with your problems with your mom. FIL is in the hospital on the gerophysc ward being evaluated. He all of a sudden got agitated, yelling loud and wearing MIL down. They just started him on new meds to calm him down. It's hard to watch them go through changes but that's just life. We just don't want him to take mom down with him. I know he has dementia and maybe beginning Alzheimer Dx. ...I've been going to the hospital everyday to make sure they aren't over medicating him.
On a lighter note, I'm closing on my house tomorrow. I will use the money to pay off our cars and remodel our house, get a new furnace and roof. Hubby can do everything himself so we will be saving lots of money because he is so talented!

congrats on selling your home and i wish you all the luck on your new adventures!!
hugs
Judy,
I don't know what you are taking Vit. D wise but I had a very low Vit D count a little over a month ago. Susan from Ark. told me she took 50,000 units of dry Vit D 5days a week until her count was up and then 50,000 a week to keep it up. I ordered the Vit. D she takes and took it as she suggested. Last week I retested and my Vit D is in normal range. My Hemotologist says I can now take 1,000 units a day but I think I'll stick with the 50,000 a week. My ferritn is still too low. I am taking 28 mg a day and she wants me to increase to 3 x a day. That will be very hard on my system. Hope you get your numbers where you want them.

Well, today is a new day. I went to the dentist at 8 am for my 6 month cleaning. On the way home I stopped at the fruit market and bought veggies and fruit and 1/2 lb of creamed herring, which I'm eating for breakfast right now.
After breakfast I'm going over to our rental house to paint the basement stairs. I've got a lot of energy today, so it looks like the three dogs will get in a long walk too.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day today.

Top of the morning to you, Margo and my OFF siblings. I hope that today is marvelous for everyone.
It is cloudy here today. No Mr. Sun this morning, that is for darn sure. It is suppose to get to about 72* today but I kind of wonder if that isn't a dream on the weatherman's part. Although you can't go by me...the last few days I have been cold even when it is nice out. Yesterday was one of them. I was cold to touch and everyone said that the weather was just beautiful. So......don't go by me on this one.
Bill has gone to go get a few things at the grocery store. I know that he didn't want to but I think we all have to do things that we don't want to do. Oh well......such is life. I am sure that he will live through this.
I am hurting again today for some reason. I am so glad that tomorrow is the appointment with Dr. Stanish. I just want these drains out......I am so tired of them. I am tired of draining them and I am tired of them getting in my way all the time. They are really a big PITA that is for sure. I just don't want to go through the pain of having them taken out. I know that is going to hurt like the dickens.
I am going to part for now......I hear myself becoming a whiny baby and I refuse to do that. I will only be a whiny baby with me. I hate it when people do that around me and so I am not going to put people around me through that now.
I am sending love and hugs to all along with prayers for everyone. I hope that your day is all as wonderful as you are....which are pretty wonderful if you ask me. Don't forget to smile.......bringing joy to everyones life. Yours and theirs too. It all comes back to bring more happiness to you.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Brenda you know getting those drains out might be ouchy, but what a relief not to drag them around with you. Just thinking about you a lot these days. Blessings...
Walking with you on this journey, Mary

It's 72 degrees today, sunny, not much of a breeze. I've already planted the seeds for the Swiss Chard and the Sunflowers, and am happily looking forward to weeding. NOT! But, it's the price I pay for the beauty of summer.
At this moment I should have been flying high over the country, headed to Texas and the Thelma and Louise trip. Poop! Well, everything happens for a reason, and today's the nicest day so far this Spring, weather-wise, to play outside. I'll start slow, but may spend the whole day outside. Can't wait to get down and dirty in the garden.
Everyone have a great day!
