• I'm OK I guess :-)

  Michel reminded me that I'm not up to date here when he posted on my FB, which is fine and I'm glad someone cares how we are. I'm even posting less there as the page is gone wonky. I try to comment on a post and the page jumps up where I can't see what I'm writing and it is annoying. They even restricted me for 90 days on timeline for posting a funny photo someone had put up and for a quote someone had made, neither their fact checkers could verify.  I noticed after I protested now the restriction is gone.

  I am having a hard time sitting in this big expensive office chair with a pillow at my back and one under me, Kate bought a special one for me to sit on.  This week I called pain management and ask for another injection. Last one was in November but he won't give one until he evaluates my back. So Monday I get a MRI on my left shoulder and Tues. see pain management. Or do I have the days mixed up at the moment?  

  Jan 16th as I was gathering trash for pick up Mr.Grey did his streak from window in the living room to the one in the dinning room. He hit my foot and knocked me over! I landed on my left side no less, hitting my shoulder on the wall and my arm the stove raised blood spots under the skin of course. Wil helped me back up and of course I worried about the cat as I landed on him too.  (He was fine but hid awhile some where).

  I figured muscles would be sore. The next week on Wil's birthday and his episode that sent him to the ER I ended up pushing him in a wheel chair quite a distance when no one came to get him on discharge. That reinjured the shoulder. The next day I called my primary, they responded a day later, doctor ordered an MRI on my shoulder. By the time I could be scheduled I was using my arm, just some residual pains. I decided to do it any way. Trying to pull bed covers over me at night is painful still.

  I guess the rod in my leg was not injured.

  Today was a beautiful day and after lunch I took the rollator and headed for a very short walk. I have missed so many days I will have to start over on the 2 blk walk.

  In the meantime I got Wil into the VA clinic, that doctor thinks that episode was probably a TIA, ER missed it. They didn't even draw labs on him. That ambulance ride btw was over a thousand dollars, as was mine when I broke my femur.

  Another thing holding up my posting... assembling tax information. I learned final taxes have to be filed for Carissa. As Executor of her estate it falls on me. Taxes will have to be paid on the sale of her house.  Glad I haven't used any of the money in that account except for her cat.

  Yesterday I learned if something happens to me the VA will only put Wil in a Veterans Hospital if they have a space and he qualifies with a disability. Otherwise he will be put in a nursing home. So I need to try and locate a memory/hospice type facility. This is of course if I die first.  So I need to talk to Alice some day and update her on this info.

  If I fall and break my other hip and need home care that runs about $1500 a month. Have to find out what Medicare pays on home care. They paid for our PT for that short time.

  So you see the last thing I think about lately is updating. forgive me please.
