dressing is off and it looks Ok. my skin was(is)getting very irritated from the chlorhexidine solution used to disinfect everything. I cant take a shower or get it week for a week. I finally got thru to DH about the discomfort of tissue pulling down on the stitch line. its basic...

all went Ok yesterday except way later than scheduled. surgery at 1 didn't happen until at least 3. so directions for post surgery are all written as if I had the procedure early morning. I am refusing to remove the dressing until later today but DH is fussing at me to do it now . I am...

snow hasn't interfered with anything so far and road issues just in the mountains, only a tiny bit of snow in the lowlands.. I don't need to be there until 11 am so even if it gets messy, by that time all the commuter crashes will have cleared. it's a busy drive but should not be by...

Did the last few exercises on Functional upper body after doing a bunch of therapy work. then did half of stacked upper body. that seemed like enough. thought I was getting a headcold started last night but I took an antihistamine and it faded away so ok so far. DH is sounding a lot...

I had that late day appt yesterday so haven't called the vet back yet. this may not work out, all cats don't take to driving. I never had one who was happy about it. I will try to take him regularly on short drives where he doesn't end up at the vet and hopefully get him used to this. the Xanax...

We did another park walk this morning, different park but also along salt water. this is one we haven't done in years. its a longer drive but we were testing out another medicine on the kitty. this one totally failed. trail is asphalt with side trails on dirt but they were pretty muddy...

We did a park walk this morning. sunny except foggy by the water, our usual 1 hr 15 minutes. that is scary about the fire for someone who cant walk well and is prone to falling. people always want to stay in their homes long past the time its advisable. Ill probably be the same! we...

Had my annual physical this morning. she used to be in a close by office. a few years ago moved to one a ways away from here. I liked her so I commute there but some(???) mornings traffic is not great. it was terrible and then thinned out abruptly so our drive wasn't bad. DH went along...

Cathy be proud your son felt Ok to call you and talk. I remember my younger years. the absolute, totally last person I would have called was my mother. the worst advice in the world would be from her. good she(aliah) was clear about what what wasn't working rather than stumble...

Did the park walk this morning for 1 hr 15 minutes. pretty morning but no good wildlife lately. we dosed Puss with more of the med but it didnt help. he still meows all the time. will not be good for a 12 hr drive. will try the vet tomorrow for another drug to try and am ordering a...

I did a yard walk later yesterday 30 min along with therapy. I'm making progress with cat behavior. DH is getting less hostile but now I'm working on how to make a long drive with him OK. we never took our other cats on a 12 hour drive so maybe its not reasonable to expect much. I got...

I have heard from more than one person that you walk the day of surgery. depending on what time of day your procedure is, many go home the same day. I need to get a thing or two done before I can do a knee. I think I already said my pacemaker battery is finally winding down after 16 yrs...

Cathy I think it creates a huge PR mess if they don't close the schools and it turns out that they should have. trying to get everyone home safely in the middle of the day in a bad weather event must be hard and open the school boards up to massive public criticism. better to call it a...

this will sound like crazy but we never had "wind chill" numbers reported. started hearing that phrase sometime during my adult years. wind chill certainly was a reality but weather people didnt report it like that. the other thing was, these days mostly both parents work. a...

we did a walk this morning, colder than usual, about 28. 1 hr 15 minutes. typical for us. what is odd is no snow in lower elevations . we wanted to snowshoe / ski and the elevation where there is enough is about 3600 feet. that's high. only major highways go that high. we don't care to...

I did 35min on the treadmill today walking uphill with hand weights. I watched the total body workout, and did a few of the exercises after the treadmill. not sure how my knee will like all those squats and lunges even if they arent as intense as in older workouts. It is feeling fine...

I did half an hour on the spin bike and then 30 min of assorted upper body exercises from stacked upper body in rapid fire sequence. no particular workout, dips, curls push ups tricep pushups side raises, concentration curls, hammer curls. I was watching one of the new workouts...

bathroom project is moving right along. we are still waiting on the replacement floor tile so next week before that gets done. Ive done some walks around our property and therapy work but nothing very interesting. just basic exercise. my knee is not feeling very good and I fear I need...

some loon calls are really eerie. its creepy at night if you are camping. these weren't doing the long calls, just shorter happier sounding calls. they would not be breeding now. cant go walk anywhere while were doing this bathroom project but its moving a long. need to do something...

I only got in therapy work yesterday. we didnt like the floor tile we picked so went back and picked another one. brought floor samples back here and compared and decided we had been totally wrong about what would work. we think this is a better choice now but it delayed things a bit. it...
