Catching up..

Sometimes I think that the day to day routines that are a part of 'life' for me are not postable and/or interesting. And I put it off 'til tomorrow when maybe I will be more inspired. I see that a week has gone by and I am also not up to date reading many of my cyber friends' blogs. Mea Culpe!! Well, here are the main ideas without the supporting and descriptive details. [Once a language arts teacher...always the language teacher vocabulary!].

Amazing Gracie, who managed to become ill the day/night before I shuffled off to Buffalo, is back in the swing of things. She accompanied us to visit [Holy Communion] Helen in rehab who had a hip replacement. That dog of mine and Helen have a special bond unlike most other people. It is fun to watch the smiles on both faces. We brought her a goodie bag of jelly beans, bubbles, and a gift certificate for two weeks of Meals on Wheels delivered to her house starting on Monday. Gracie gave her a biscuit.
I had a couple of doctor visits, bloodwork, xrays...for a good time!! And now I have added physical therapy to my medical repertoire!! I thought a pinched nerve or knot in my shoulder blade was causing the random but frequent pins and needles electric massage that have been creeping up my shoulder and into my neck. . Evidently as it creeped upward to be a permanent pain in the neck [literally], I decided to maybe address the situation. And I'm now off to physical therapy twice a week to try to fix it or diminish it.

I have volunteered a bit. I've played some games of hearts, solitaire, and scrabble on the computer. And taken good care of Flo, of course...whose first words to me a couple of days ago were,

"Did you buy that tuxedo?"

She must have been dreaming!
