Wednesday

 There is not to much to write about tonight but I do have some news.  So it was up early and because I was off Hydrocodone for two day I drove myself around 8 o'clock to the doctors.  And there is more news now.  The shoulder Xray showed there is tendonitis.  So the pain is not exactly in my head.  It's in my shoulder.  Well, at least that's where the Xray picture was taken.  It can hurt other places but I suspect that is referred pain.  So there you have it now.  What I think is bad news is that Tendonitis can take a long time to heal.  The doctor added...don't expect a quick fix. I'm back on Hydro cone.  No driving until the pain disappears when no pain medicine is needed.  Sleeping last night was impossible so the chair was the place to be once again.  I'm going to try a pill before sleeping with the hope it lasts until the next evening.  I'll be back with another doctor visit next Wed.  When I asked for more details, this is what I got.  Tendons hook muscles to the bone.  There is a little snip in the tendon.  That needs to heal to make the tendon strong again. It doesn't happen quickly.  I made the tendon unhappy with repetitive movements. There was a lot of that when I was cutting fabric.  Way to much with a tendon that is old.  What else is new? Sometimes I think I'll never learn.

So other than that news, there wasn't much.  I did a garden walk.  Snipped a few more flowers and pitched the dead ones.  I cleaned out the butterfly cage since all the cats are now in their j shape or chrysalis stage. The cage was a poopy mess. I did a bit of knitting which is sort of a no, no.  Repetitive work isn't good for  sore tendons. I think B and B bag preparation fits in that category.  Right now Sept. bags are taken care of.

So what else did I do.  SLEEP.  That is what the Med. does.  It makes me sleep. I hate that during the day.  Sleep is for night.  There could be a change if I don't need med. for the daylight hours.  It's all an experiment.  So tonight there will be a pill and we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Tomorrow is the first PT.  My buddy Michael and I will be working out.  Well, I'll be doing the work come to think of it.  He just brings the orders that should help me to heal.  We'll see how quickly.  

So there is a solution and I am grateful.

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

                                   A nice ending to an interesting day.  Fresh flowers are always refreshing.  I woulad call this a little crazy day.  Meaning the unexpected was part of the morning.  But first... A great night of sleep again thinking it was six o'clock when it really was seven.  Now an extra hour of sleep never hurt anyone.  There was breakfast of course with a little TV. Yesterday I finished sewing and turning 30 burps, so the order of the morning was to iron all of them with top stitching in mind at some point. And there was time to iron all 30.             I did some straw flower seed saving.  It's a repeat of last fall that worked well this spring. Then it was off to church to pick up and put away all the things that supported the six weeks of sermons on prayer.  I love these lit...

 The morning started off with breakfast and then a trip with Eric to Nora where he catches the bus to Indy.  I always love these trips in the winter often accompanied with a beautiful winter sun rise.  The morning light was coming through but it will be even better in another month.  I have taken some beautiful pictures in the early morning.   Home again and I did some sewing and some knitting.  The usual stuff that seems to be the winter work.  Ten more burps and I finished another scarf, one that could have been finished yesterday.  I was thinking no rush which is really true.  There is no rush. All the ripped fabric has been sewn so it would seem new ripping will happen soon. This noon was our first North Side North Church noon lunch instead of supper.  No driving in the dark for three months.  There were eleven of us, a smaller group but we all sat around one long table which was really nice.  And there was so much tal...
