Wednesday feels like Saturday
Don't write much any more, ne news here. I'd just gripe about something like a mail man that won't get off the truck to put our mail in the box. Of course I guess Erlene with Respite care just has never realized he won't and she thinks she left him room. They don't pull trucks straight in Erlene. He has driven by our box when no one was there before. I don't think he likes me since I reported him for not picking up my mail when the flag was up.
My system is off kilter today. I had such horrible leg pain early this morning that I got up. Heating pad was not helping me and I had rubbed the cbd lotion on my back a second time and it seemed I was worse with heat. So up at 4:30 got ice and took a pain pill and headed for the recliner.
Got Wil his cereal, after yesterday when he wouldn't put milk on it or let me or Erlene do it I make sure I do it. He was in a snit yesterday morning for some reason and I had almost forgotten the doctor appt. and had to change clothes. Headed to the recliner and fell sound asleep.
Finally got him to go sit on the porch and clip his fingernails. Been nagging about that for days. He needs to shave as his beard also grows fast. He's going to fuss about that I suppose and I won't push. That's why I got the VA to give me a hand with his shower and shaving.
Yesterday Dr. Martinez finally admitted I was not a good candidate for the back procedure to spread the vertebrae in my back at the spinal stenosis. He checked my non ability to raise my feet while he had his hand placed on them. He feels we will just let the pain meds hold the pain. He cautioned to be careful about falling after I told him I can not step on a fast moving spider without landing on my backside. I don't have much padding back there. See disadvantage of losing weight.
Some enjoyment comes here to me watching the cats play. I post pictures of them on FB time and again. Mr.Grey drinks at the bathroom sink and now Miss Kitty has joined him. She also grabbes the old wash cloth I wipe up water with and beats it up as well as pulls the hand towel down to do the same. She is still a kitten I guess. I'm trying to teach her to let me pet her and not try to play with my hand. Obviously she is feral, everything is new to her.

@fauquet: I guess one of the things of age is going to be some pain some where Michel. If only I could learn not to complain about it. lol
I am late to comment, Bonnie .
Sorry to read your pain in your back .
for some months I have too.
Fortunately the cats brings you some enjoyment!
Love
Michel
CC he knew about Mr.Grey knocking me over, Miss Kitty doesn't weigh enough to do so. lol
Well Verlene got to witness the drive by. Next time I will ask her to park on the curb of the cul de sac.
Off to look for the reset button. lol
I take it you have not shared with Dr M the role that the cats play in the drama of your attempts to stay on your own two feet.
Sometimes even well-meaning people aren't aware of problems that they are causing when they choose to park as they do. Getting mail delivered and trash picked up can be a problem in such cases.
Fie on pain. I know it serves a purpose, but once we've received the message, we should be able to push a reset button to make the pain stop.
