A new day, a time of peace finally.

Monday I had an Adenosine stress test, this one I think didn't go well. I experienced numbness and tingling in left hand, just like with the first heart attack.

Tuesday morning saw me sitting on a bed, bent over a pillow while a Nurse Anethetist gave me an epidural, a shot of cortisone into my back. I feel about 80 % better today and the new medicine for my RA is working miracles.
This drug is called Lefluromide, I think that spelling is right.
It's a potent drug, stays in the body for two years after just one month's supply!!

Shopping for groceries today was an experiment in trying new things, I got some Kale, some Bib lettuce, and on a whim I purchased some chicken breast because with this dreary, gray day I find myself craving chicken soup.

My son has been seeing a dentist, getting that finally taken care of! First time since he graduated from school. 12 years! His new car is awesome, well it's a newer car anyway. It's comfortable, dependable, and pretty. MY words for it. He's been trying his hand at cooking stuff besides his frozen pizzas and hotdogs too! He's made a roast with vegetables in his crockpot, made hotdishes, and a few other items. Yay!!!

My kitty is doing so good, she's learned to make a sound that sounds like "hello" and has caught on to sneezing too! She'll turn into a dog yet!
She was so cute today, rolling around on the floor and tossing her catnip mouse up into the air for the benefit of my company...hehe, quite an attention gurl she is!

The last couple of days has seen a change in the temps here, it's sooooooooooo good to have the temps in the 40's! Soon the geese will return, and then the other birds. I can't wait to get out with my camera and get some great pictures. Last night I wished I'd had my camera ready, two choppers flew next to the apt. and were going quite slow. That would have made for an interesting video, what with the tv show that was on in the background!

Well, enough rambling....I guess this is the first I"ve felt good since being sick this winter, and I"m chomping at the bit to talk, discuss, and visit.

Hey Pony girl, it's me *VBS* I stopped over this a.m. after reading your comment on my blog, thanks for the love xoxoxox right back at 'ya!!
I didn't leave a comment then as it had been so long since you posted, but The Universe urged me to check again, and here you are *VBS*
I tried to get hold of you back in December for a 'conference', but didn't manage to connect with you. I've ordered a stone for Mom and Dad's grave and would have liked your input before I had to finalize it. The sale at Johnson Monument ended with the 31st, so I ordered what I picked out and sent the half payment.
It will go on the grave once the weather is nice again. If you still use either of the emails from before, drop me a line and I'll send you the drawing they worked up for me. And the look of the stone and the color can be seen at the Johnson website.
And yes, Dear, Dear Anonymous wasn't happy just kicking puppies the other day...LOL But I'll live *VBS*
She was there in her nasty mode when I posted a pic of Steph and Jenny, with Jenny big belly. We got baby Levi on Feb 20th, grandson number 10. The DGC now number 12...oh my!
Anyway, if you want to see what I've ordered(after the fact, sorry) I've saved the drawing. Sending big hugs, much love, Sister Sue xoxox
