It’s still been cold and it’s not looking any better for the next week .. in fact their talking high of 30 tomorrow and a low 11 at night, all next week is high low 40’s. Yep .. winter is here. Dinner tonight was some home made Turkey veggie soup and it sure did hit the spot on a cold winter day!
One thing about it, I’m nice and warm inside the comfort of home (I’m in my stick home for the winter) which is a good thing as going up and down stairs is not a good thing for me with my knees. No stairs and there is even a handicap walk to get into the house. I’ve really enjoyed being in my dad’s home. The dogs seem to have settled into their new environment. Family stops by to visit with me and I’m getting to spend lot’s of time with the grand kids
I finally broke down and went to the doctor and had a few test done on my knees and sure enough I have been scheduled to see an Orthopedic surgeon. Between my neck, low back and knees. I haven’t been doing much of anything but just resting. My knees hurt the worst when I try to lay down which makes it difficult as when my low back is bothering me, laying down is the only relief I get from it. I’m in the worst of 2 choices. Sitting up which helps the knees but hurts the back or laying down to relieve the back but makes the knees hurt worse!
I can not get in to the surgeon for 2 months! Are you kidding me? Ughhh the life of health problems! I have some decisions to make about what I’m going to do regarding my health. Stay here and take care of my health issues this winter or pack up after the holiday’s and head to warmer climate and continue to deal with my health issues until returning in the spring? I’ve decided for now, to just enjoy the holiday’s with family. It’s been a long time since I’ve been home with my family for both holiday’s!
I guess like everything in life you take the good with the bad. The cold weather is very hard on my body but I sure do enjoy spending time with family
