I finally added borders to my quilt from Rays improve strip class.

now to get a box of quilts off to Mishii so that she can play!

Hopefully you will get your property figured out. Yes as we are getting older priorities begin to change. Maybe a get away cabin to just go to relax.

Carolyn, I am SO happy to hear from you!  I can't imagine the physical pain that you had been going through and am very glad that your surgery & pain meds have conquered it!

It must have been quite a mental challenge for you to move to the assisted living facility, even knowing it was going to be temporary BUT it's probably a really good thing that you did.  Having George at your home to look after it and the dogs must have taken a large weight off your mind.

And now you have a new regimen of PT to continue doing .... you need to keep moving and keep flexible!  Just keep in mind that the next Retreat is just around the corner!  :-)

Glad you're back on the forum.  You sound soooooo much better! ((hugs))

I'm glad you're feeling better and he's working on weaning you; sounds like a wise doc. <3

((((Carolyn))))  You sure have been through the ringer.  I'm so very glad you can immediately say your back has NO PAIN and the surgery worked!!!  Medications that do so much to help us and it is very hard to imagine how they can be a detriment to us too.  Thank goodness to a diligent doctor willing to take the time to find a reason and solution for you.  

I talked to Carolyn yesterday.  She called to tell me that she put on makeup for the first time since her surgery yesterday!  That's when you know she is getting better.

I stop putting on make up a year ago. I am glad she is feeling better.

I also got a haircut.  My daughter-in-law's beautician came to my house to cut my hair.  I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon and will ask him for a cortisone shot in my knee.  I'm limping which makes it hard to make progress in walking without a walker.  My legs are still weak but we are getting there slowly but surely.   I'm wishing you good luck with your surgery today and a speedy recovery.

Yippee!!! I'm so glad she's starting to feel more herself :D 

Its so nice to hear you are doing much, much better and even putting on some makeup.  You are the princess after all!  Keep improving and soon you'll be home back to your own devices.
