The cost was $3100 but luckily its under warranty ive had it back for three days and so far ok. They gave me.a loaner for all the time they had it. Louis is doing better and still has home Pt and Ot. Hes going outside with pt and taking short walks with the walker, we still have r branson plans for sept since so i hope i don't have to cancel. Tammy and i went sway two weeks ago to colo spgs as yhe texas tenors were performing two nights they've never come to colo. We had so much fun and met some friends there. I haven't been away with just tammy since the kids were born. I was sad Sunday afternoon jto take her home. It was a fun filled weekend

Hi there!
Dianne, I am glad you got away for a few days. Sounds like it did you a lot of good. How did Louis get by while you were gone?
I took Zoie to the Vet today. She kept rubbing her snout back & forth on the floor and outside on the grass. We think she picked up yeast infection in her ears from all the outside rubbing on the nasty ground. Vet asked me if I could flush her ears with meds for a few days. I told her no way will she let me do that! It was hard enough to give her ear drops. I could never get both ears! Vet decided to put med pacs in her ears. She is waiting on blood work to see if Zoie can tolerate anesthesia for extractions. Her gums were badly receding and an angry red. So, $366 later we are home. She will be checked again in a couple of weeks.
Now that it's warming up a bit, Jim is doing better. Winters are hard on him. Each winter I think is his last!
Matthew is on spring break so he will be busy getting his Jeep fixed from my getting t-boned when I was driving it. He ordered a new door and bumper/fender. He will be helping me clean out both garages and getting rid of an old couch, overstuffed chair, old lawn furniture and stuff that is just not being used. I ordered a dumpster that comes Monday. I need to get rid of junk so Matthew won't have to when I kick the bucket! I don't plan on doing that for a while lol!!
Hope to hear from you ladies!

Hi again. Boring night. Louis is watching basketball and I’m listening to music waiting for SNL. Morgan wallen on there tonight . I met a friend for breakfast, got gas and home rest of the day. Louis and I are going to the Cheescake factory for my birthday lunch. We never celebrated that or r anniversary hex’s not thrilled about going out but we are going. Not much else going on. We’ve had nice weather but supposed to have rain turning to snow tonight…I hope not. It was 80, a couple of days ago…..a tease for spring…maybe. I wish we were going on some kind of vacation this summer. Only plans are Branson hopefully in Sept. I pray about it. I’m going t
have to nudge Barb and JL. Anyone have any plans? Barb did ever sell your your sisters place? Someone come visit me I have that spare bedroom downstairs now trying to make some plans for Easter. I think Tammy and James will host us…not many just a few. She’s going to have a brunch. I’m going to offer to bring two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. Had my nails done yesterday. I think on hair day next time I might get a tiny cut on the side. My thin hair is growing in pretty good shape. I bought the hairpiece in July mainly for my reunion. My hair was so thin. I haven’t worn it for months but still paying on it. Oh, I know what I did for fun last week. I went to the dentist for four hours had my stitches out from Dec 11th and impressions made for my final teeth. It will be another 4-6 weeks. This is taking forever to finish this process. At least I didn’t have to get shots this time but it wasn’t comfortable for sure. Still waiting to get our taxes back as we had to,mail them to our tax guy this year. We used to go there’ but he’s not doing that anymore. He’s had them about three weeks and haven’t heard a word. Frustrating! I’m concerned since we had that teeth money out of retirement so it will show as income we r writing off medical but I don’t think that will balance out. I hope so. Well, that’s about it tonight. Mary did unwatchable that grand old opry show the other night? I thought it was really good. Next county show is May 8 …the Acms so mark your calendar now. Night everyone

Here I am, Ladies! Well, I'm still having a few "episodes" here and there with my eyes. I went to the doctor and she thought I might have vertigo from when I hit my head. She thought I might have dislodged some calcium crystals that are in the inner ear. If they get knocked out of place, it causes problems with balance. Anyway, she referred me to a Physical Therapist who specializes in vertigo. His opinion is, no, that's not my problem. He thinks that I gave myself a mild concussion when I hit my head so hard and now brain is sending me some bad signals. That's the simplest I can describe what he said. I'm not sure I understand it completely. He gave me an exercise to do with my eyes for fine focusing. When he tested me, I thought I was focused but I really wasn't. Every one in a while, when I am changing focus from close to far and then back again, one of my eyes refuses to cooperate with the other. It's a very odd, almost swooning-like feeling when it happens. Anyway, the eye exercises seem to be helping as the episodes are fewer and not so dramatic when they happen. He also gave me exercises to strengthen my core but I must admit, I'm better at doing the eye exercises than the core ones. I still find my new glasses to be annoying, too.

Last week, a skunk sprayed under my house at 3:30 a.m. The smell was so bad that it woke me up. The following day or so, I went down into the back yard to check where the skunk could have gotten into my yard and found 3 spots where it had dug under the fence. I was able to block those spots with cobblestones which are very heavy. I didn't do my back any favors lifting them and moving them into place. I'll have to keep a close eye on it. My daughter will be bringing her dogs down here in June. Her new employer has invited her and her boyfriend to Cabo for a few days for a work retreat and she will leave her dogs with me. I don't need for Clio to get sprayed again. Yikes, that was bad.

Mary, I feel sorry for your sweet little Zoie. I hope her ears are doing better and that her blood work comes out okay and she can have the dental work she needs. Is there any way you could pin her ears up so they could air out?
It would help prevent ear infections. When you and Matthew are done cleaning out your garage, maybe you could come and do mine. Did you make corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day? Jane and I went out to dinner that night so I had the restaurants version. A couple of days later, I made my own which I liked better. LOL

Dianne, I was wondering how things were going with your teeth. It's quite a production, isn't it? I did get my taxes filed and have already received my refund, which is sizeable. Unfortunately, the accountant's bill will come to more than half of it. I wish I was knowledgeable enough to do it myself but since it has to do with a trust and capital gains and other investment stuff, I need to make sure it's done properly. I have no plans to go anywhere. Right now, I'm just looking forward to walking across a parking lot without feeling like I'm not quite in balance,

Barb, it's your turn to tell us what you're up to.

Hi there all! It has been a hectic week here. Matthew & I have been busy cleaning out the lower garage and family room in the basement. Getting rid of a lot of old furniture. I finally got Jim to get rid of his old cig. burned, coffee spilled, broken spring, Lazy Boy!! I dragged him to a furniture store and had him "try on" many Lazy boys. He finally settled on one and tried to haggle down the sale price lol! No go, but he got $10 off for taking it in his truck. Matthew has been working on his Jeep, still trying to find the leak that is allowing rain to fill up the floor board on the passengers side. I feel so bad for him. So far nothing he does has worked. With all the rain we have been getting, he has been vacuuming water out like crazy!
Today I was heading out to get gross-eries when I noticed my rear tire was super low. I have a nail in it! I got it pumped up and got my shopping done. I will have to deal with the dam tire next week!
Jim's oldest brother has been ill. He has been bouncing back & forth from nursing home to hospital. He fractured his spine trying to get out of his bed in the nursing home. He is now home with hospice care. Jim went to see him today. I have nagged him to visit him many times. Thank goodness he has gone a few times in the last 2 months. I told him he would have regrets if he didn't. I think he is glad now that I nagged!

SacBarb, I hope Chad is feeling better. Pee eww on the skunk thing!

JustLin, I see you have a stinker tenant! I hope he stays evicted! I worry about your eyes! I can't remember, are you still driving?
I have never made corn beef & cabbage. Not part of my Mexican heritage lol! I was married to an Irish man for 7 years. That meal was never mentioned lol!
Zoie is doing better. She will have another check up on the 15th. Her liver stats are still high :( She sleeps a lot! She is old, so I just let her snooze away. Her eating habits have changed. She does more grazing then gobbling. Pees and poops normal. Now that it's warmer I walk her outside more.

Dianne. I haven't forgotten you, but it is late and I have had a long day lol! I will write you tomorrow.

Hi….im doing good. Went to pulmonary last week and don’t have to go back for a year. She said I was doing really good. No dentist last week and as far asi know none this week either. They r waiting for a wax set to come back to check bite, etc. I seem to lisp now that I’ve never done before now.
Mary. That’s rest that you’re downsizing. I have done that too. Basement has Louis computers down there but neither of us go down there any more. We need to figure that out. There’s also a huge roll top desk that will just have to go with the house..too hard to get up…it was hard 20 years ago to get it down there. Hope Zoie gets better. I keep meaning to ask u if Jim is still smoking? In the house? I hope Matthew starts feeling better too. I wish you would come visit me. Any of you. I have a nice spare room downstairs now that my cleaning lady keeps nice.
JL..yuck on the skunk. What do u have to do to your house when that happens? Anything? I don’t see skunks around here.. that’s exciting your daughter and boyfriend get to go to Cabo. Nice boss. I’m assuming she likes her job. You’ve met her boyfriend, right? We e been having cold weather with off and on light snow and rain. This week should be nice and going up to 80. We’ve had such terrible wind and when it’s cold anyway it makes it freezing…better than snow though.
Barb, when r u having the estate sale? It sounds like u sure do have a lot of crafts. Do u and the Jennifer’s still get together? Hope Chad is feeling better too. We’ve been so fortunate to not have caught anything so far this winter. Last Sunday we went to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate my birthday since. It was a blizzard in Nov. we tried to share but we both wanted different things. We took a piece of cheesecake home to share. The bill with tip was $90. A lot but we each had a second meal from it so that helped. We still need to celebrate our Feb anniversary. Louis was not thrilled to go as he’d rather sit in his chair but not going to happen being married to me. He’s still getting OT AND PT although OT ends next week. I’m trying to get it extended. I don’t know how successful I’ll be trying it. I for sure want PT to continue. He has Louis go for walks and exercises and I can see an improvement. I can’t remember if I mentioned before we once again r going to try and go to Branson the first of September. Last year we had to cancel with Louis getting all those UTIS I won’t take my travel chair this time and we will both take walkers with seats for venues we will also take our three wheel walkers for restaurants , etc. Tammy had me practice pushing the full luggage cart from our third floor room To car to practice . I did it! I’m bound and determined to go on this trip this time. When we get to ARBNB the family there loads and unloads r car for us or we wouldn’t be able to go. So nice that they do that for us.. it will be Texas tenor fan week the week we go. Remind me so I don’t repeat myself of a few weeks ago they came to Colo Spgs..about an hour from here and Tammy went with me. So fun.
Well, not much else to post. I’m about ready to change my clothes and put
