[QUOTE=Lynn49;6751836]Good morning, everyone!!

Well, I woke up this morning and as usual said to myself: "don't move, don't move" because when I do, the pain starts again in that leg. So I stayed there just in that dozy state, then without thinking, flipped over and whoa!!!!! NO pain behind my knee!! It went away yesterday after my therapist's massage, but I wasn't about to leap to any conclusions about "I'm healed!", but.......I can't believe that I walked down those 4 stairs one at a time!
"Rolfing". That's what she was doing...a very unfortunate word, but effective in relieving pain.
So I'm MUCH more optimistic about my mobility in the future!!

It's a horrible, blizzardy day out there, so I'm going to confine myself to my craft or sewing room and play all day.

Have a great day, everyone, and HAPPY MARCH!!

@Lynn49 i hear ya on that crap weather lol. Went to food bank early for 6am (i know they only open at 8.15am) They usually have the front door to a little waiting area open by 6am. Someone finally opened the front door by 7.20am. By then I swear I was gonna get frost bite on my toes as the wind after a while was blowing right through my boots. Anyway I got in and went to sit on the stairs and I was feeling really weird like I was going to pass out and felt numb. I sat on the floor until they opened the food bank and finally felt better. The whole time people keep asking me if I was ok, I said yeah but was a little scared I had hypothermia or something. I felt good when I left there and a local taxi company gives you a ride for free from the food bank in winter so I called for a taxi.

Okaaaayyy...I had to look those two up!! Wow, one after the other near St Paddy's day, huh? Not something to look forward to, and it looks like what we're having here right now. Jenny hasn't been out all day since her piddle this mornng and even then she just stepped onto the patio and that was it! Right back inside. She just went out now, poor critter.
That wind is howling! It's supposed to clear tomorrow, but at -18, who cares?! haha!
@cabmonk , wow, that was scary feeling that way, i bet! Good thing you got that ride home; in this weather we may have lost you forever!!! Soup. That's what you need.
Or hot chocolate.
With Kahlua.
Or.
Just Kahlua.
Yup. That gets my vote.

[Lynn49]

Geez, you'd think I'd have started already!!
Double post....

[cabmonk]

Thanks, I think I'm ok now. As I was standing there my eyes couldn't focus and were getting all blurry. Actually work gave me off until next week using my sick pay. So I don't have to go anywhere in this crazy cold for a while.

[avoncallingu]

Well, cabbie, Don't tell fibs when people ask you if you are ok when you're not. That sounds scary!
Lynn, your experience in getting out of bed is wonderful and so encouraging!

Last night it was such a terrible thunder storm and blowing that I really couldn't take Sadie out- so, necessity is the mother of invention.

I had a diaper cover that her former owners had used when she was in heat. I had it put in a bag to give away, but I resurrected it and made it into an overnight doggie-depend so that she wouldn't be licking and make herself sick. Voila! It worked!

Fighting a migraine today.

It's been a very emotional day. My minister from my "home" church has given her resignation- long, and not happy story.

So, she cannot be part of my husband's burial service - long and understandable but not reassuring story.

I seem to have lost another pillar in my life. It's a good thing that I have such helpful friends and family!

The weather today was incredibly wonderful but that unbelievable soaking rain last night meant that our little stream overspilled its banks blocking off our walking trail.

So, I have some hand washing to do and some dreaded.....ironing!

I also have more thank-you cards to send. I've put on the 3 part Chicago "Fire,PD, Justice" tonight.

Wishing all of you with pain or illness healing thoughts!

[Lynn49]

Hi, @avoncallingu ...thank you, it truly is encouraging; much different than the day before for me!
I feel so much better, and well, you've met our DD, so naturally she's pulling the ol'..."Mom? Didn't someone, oh, a long time ago, suggest massage therapy? Hmm?"
Um...yah..but I hate being touched by strangers, but boy oh boy there comes a time when one will do anything to get rid of pain!! She's feeling quite smug about the whole thing..hahaha...but I'm feeling great!!!
Her second day on the job and she's still absolutely loving the new independence and atmosphere there!!!

The snow has stopped falling, the drifting (which is continuing with that wind) has left a pile of snow just above the door handle of our van on one side and it's just not fair! {{{stomping good foot!!!}}}

DD now has to drive from downtown to our 'burbs' and it was white-out conditions! Thank God she and I hope everyone else got home safely!

Toodles and good night everyone!!

[Lynn49]

Just for the record, I hate "Colorado" right now.

[cabmonk]

Oh @avoncallingu I know. As I sat on the floor I started to feel better. So I said I'll be ok to them. By the time they opened the doors to actually go in I was pretty good. Good thing the taxi company gives you free rides home from the food bank in the winter.

[danger_dan]

Good morning everyone.
Completely forgot I had a Day Conference to go to yesterday until shortly before bed on Tuesday night...oops!

No harm done...spent the day there yesterday...
Now there's lots of catching up to do at the office...

Have a wonderful day Fam.
Back later.
