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 :)
