A beautiful day here, autumn colors are hugging us now, soon they'll blow away like so much dust.
Today, the first morning of no pain. Unreal. Waking up and moving, twist this way, that way, stretch, yep no pain. I smiled to myself and swung my legs up out of bed, and decided on changing my habits.
Why not?
Went through some pictures I want copies of, mostly ones I want enlarged for framing. I have a box of frames I"ve bought over time and have projects in mind for them.
I met with my new worker yesterday and am delighted with her. We both got goosebumps when I showed her a picture of my grama's sister, Birdy. She looked so odd when I mentioned Birdy's name. She told me I probably wouldn't believe it and she said she had to prove it to me, so she showed me her phone with the nickname of her daughter and it's "Birdy". We both had goosebumps and just stared at each other. She just shook her head and wondered outloud about the liklihood of that happening since it's a name from the 1800's.
She's such a delight, and we have all kinds of things planned to do. Things that needed doing, things I"ve needed help with will finally happen! Oh happy day.
"My Life" I can't wait to begin! I've almost postal let me tell ya...
Good thing I'm able now to start walking since I'm out of pain...I need that as a release for anger..........

Another day in the month that has many memories.....and a day when I had to be up with the chickens, or is that the rooster?
Makes no matter. I got up, took care of my morning rituals, made some old-fashioned oatmeal, and sat down to a cup of tea with a smattering of French-Vanilla non-dairy creamer and some sugar. It tastes rather like a caramel candy, it's peppermint tea btw.
My driver picked me up on time, and we had a pleasant drive to CDI for my appt. This appt. went really well. It only took the normal 20 minutes instead of the hour it did on the left side of my spine.
The right side of my spine is normal, in that the pelvis and vertebrae are where they're supposed to be, and without an extra bone.
The left side is different! The bone spurs made it difficult for the radiologist to get the needle in place, plus one level is transtional, part of an extra bone.
So now all I have left is for the surgeon to give the go ahead for radiofrequency rhizotomies on the right side.
Having the rhizotimies done on the left side has given me my life back. The simplest chore was so painful I couldn't finish it.
The weather here today has been a mixture of everything, except heat.
I called Lipton to find out how old the pkg. of Broccoli Mashed Potatoes & Cheddar Cheese is, and it expired 3 years ago so I won't be eating that tonight with my fish! Maybe boiled potatoes and some vegetable on the side.
My bedroom looks like a tornado whirled through it, that's what happens when I have an appt. in the morning. Clothes tossed on the bed after I change my mind, anti-perspirant on the bed, various grooming things.....still a teenager at times.
It's not important, no one sees it but me, and that's ok.
I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures that are on the roll of film I just finished up. I don't remember what I took pictures of other than the Mallard hens that are fast becoming pets now, and the birds at the feeder. Guess I got a couple of the evening sky the other night.
I have many things I"m going to be involved this fall. After having many appts. and things to go to this week, I've learned quickly I won't be able to go all gung ho right away. I need time to build up my body now that I'm not in pain constantly.
One thing at a time :)
