I know I'm way behind. Back has been getting me up at 3 or 4 so I end up with some long naps of late. Mary picked me up today at 9 a.m. and took me to the credit union for cash and on to pick up a prescription of Lidocaine patches. She put 2 on and they worked awhile but not for the 12 hrs. they are supposed to. The top of my spinal fusion from 20 years ago is now causing problems.
July 1st I ended up in the hospital when I couldn't walk right and trying to get to Wil's recliner I fell on my butt. I was in for 3 days, MRI and xrays and a nurse Practionier came in from a neurosurgeon and they wanted to ship me straight to another hospital for surgery. I had Wil's funeral to go to so of course I refused. When I was finally able to get an appt. I can't because I refuse to go until I know they got all the xrays. They aren't responding.
To add to my days I have taken on feeding a kitten outside until Carol can get him in to be neutered next week. I do take time to roll some little balls for him after he eats and pet his little head and sometimes pick him up. I am going to cry when he is gone but I can't take on a kitten. I still have my 2 cats.
Then Monday I learned Pacific Life did not get the packet I put in an envelope without copying it. I actually cried to think I will have to do it again and I will insist on taking it to p.o. which means a ride since I sold the car. This is Wil's Sea World retirement and they will cut the amount any way. I lost his AF retirement as he didn't think I would need it. Little did we realize how much the cost of living would go up. I should be alright as I still have some of Carissa's insurance when she died. Left that in God's hands.
A Dr. in Michigan I've known online for years thought I should paint. So I'm trying to do acrylics. I think I should go back to coloring and probably will when I run out of paint. I know you should practice but that means buy stuff.

Good as always to get your update Bonnie. It’s slow going with all the paperwork I know but you do well with your health issues to deal with as well. As I have said for many years you are a strong woman. Take care.
Hi Bonnie, it’s great to hear from you. I check your site often to see if you’ve written. I’m glad you’re still writing despite life’s challenges. Painting sounds like a great hobby. Virtual hugs.
Would you mind telling me who you are? I can't recall.
Thanks so much for the update. I hope you can get all the info you need for your paperwork. I know it's a pain because I outlived two husbands and there was a ton of paperwork.
Hope you get pain meds that actually work.
Keep busy and do things that you enjoy. I know that's easier said than done but try anyway.
