Was in the 50's today, to be 60 tomorrow. Nice weather through Monday before we drop into the cold again. Nice Break.
Jim got his new dentures yesterday. Hope the non acrylic material they used this time does not cause an alergic reaction like the ones he got in the Fall did. Also hope he does not have to have them adjusted to many times before they fit good. They look real good.
Winter marches on.
Smile.....................
January 2015 is almost halfway over. Cold, cold cold. Jim had dr. appt today and I had mamogram. The wind was sharp. Supposed to be in the fifties for the weekend. Sounds nice. It will break up the long cold winter. February is the worst month of the year for me. To be the shortest month, it takes it so long to get over. March is sort of taking me over the hump, and April makes me believe in Spring again.
Jim has another dr. appt tomorrow. Meeting new heart dr.. I have lab. Have had no sweets since first of Jan, so am hoping my glucose reading is down from last time. Am down 5 pounds to maybe that will help. It may not be where I want it, but have been eating more stuff like diabetics eat, so maybe it will be down by next time to normal. Do not want to become diabetic on top of all the other diseases I have. Want to just set on LGL in remission, and RA under control. Then add to that I have to have teeth pulled and trying implants on bottom. See how that goes. I guess there is always going to be something distasteful on the horizen. That appears to be life. But I cannot complain as there are much worse off than me.
I am rambling because I want to keep up some semi regular blogging and not let months go by like in the past.
Hurry spring..............
Four days into the year, and I can tell this is not going to be a terrific year for some of our family.
It is cold and I hate that. Jim is still in physical therapy and his back and legs are better if things keep improving. His lip surgery is about healed, and he needs to get new teeth, so maybe his deals will work out through the crappy winter months.
I have to get bottom teeth pulled and am going to try to get implants so they can snap in and out. It sounds painful, takes 4 months to heal, and costs out the ass. So I am not looking forward to that. Just hope he can keep my top ones going for a year or so. But that is going to take me clear into spring.
Just found out my ex son in law is going to have to have some serious extensive jaw surgery, that will take a lengthy recovery. My granddaughter just got settled in San Diego this summer and a job she likes. But she will need to be back here for her Dad for a time. Sure she is stressed out about how this will turn out.
So 2015, you better start showing us some good shit about this year before long.
Last year I went and seen Mom Christmas Eve and Christmas Night. She was lucid Christmas Eve, but Christmas night she was pretty spacey, but sitting up talking. The 26th I did not go out, and I feel guilty and sad about that. She was still sitting up. She might have been more lucid than Christmas night. Did not know that I would never talk to her again. The morning of the 27th they called me as she had slipped into a coma. We sat with her that Friday and Saturday night until she slipped away. I will always wish I had gone the night after Christmas.
Excited about family getting together for Christmas with kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Yet 7 nights from tonight will be the night Mom left us. Dread that 1 year event. It has been a year of "firsts" without her that have been hard. She was in such pain and getting weaker physically and mentally, but letting go was still hard. I prayed for her release from this, but felt guilty. She kept saying that she did not think she would live that long and did not want to. But she was 93 and a fighter everyday until the last two.
Want to think of her now reunited with Dad and her brothers and sisters and having a good old time, smiling and laughing again.
Well December has just whizzed by and the New Year will soon be here. About this time of the year, I am ready for it to be over and a new one to start,
Jim went for check up to back dr. today. They think he is progressing very well, though he thinks he should be all well by now. I think she encouraged him some, he thinks he should feel better. It is going to be a long winter for him, hope he stays in rehab for the duration. Goes back in Feb for another check up.
Just about have our Christmas shopping done. Have a few more things to get. And I got my menu fixed, need to make grocery list.
Think our days of 60 degrees now and then are over. Has been rainy, and forecast says a little snow may come, and the cold definitely is coming. Do not do well with winter, after New Years, I am ready for spring.
Looking forward to getting together with family at Christmas. Food, wine and Mimosas.
Brought Dec 1 in with a bang. Had Lab at 9:00, went up to Lee"s Summit and had a really really good breakfast at Perkins. I can eat anywhere and anything and usually like it. The reason I know today's really was a good breakfast is that Jim liked it and did not have any complaints. So I know it was a 5 Star meal.
Went to the Malls, hit JC Penney, Old Navy , Lowes, Harrisonville Walmart. Got a good start on my shopping. Came home, let my feet get back to normal and went to Dollar Store and got some thing I needed there.
Got my tree standing and the decorations up from basement. So hopefully tomorrow, I will get it decorated, and can put some packages under it.
Club dinner is 9th, and I finished up the gifts we will take to our special friends at the Nursing Homes.
Got to get my menu made out and grocery list set.
Time is marching on and this year is about to be over. Then I will want to hibernate until April.
