    Exciting day at our regular Weds. cart site. This is not our most conducive place for conversations, but my patient cart partner stayed an extra two hours as we had some serious questions and comments. My dog was with a dog sitter who was not annoyed at my delay b/c our two small dogs play well together and I took her shopping after (as previously arranged.) I got to talk to one of my sons about our cart experience. Thankful for service opportunities. Hope you had a good service experience today.

    A few (?) years back I found out I had a meniscus tear + starting of arthritis in the right knee. I’ve had a couple cortisone (?) shots last year. This March I went to the Ortho clinic and had a few X-rays taken. I had the doctor’s PA.
     
    Anyway, she told me the meniscus was no longer the problem because the arthritis ate it away. 😬 So it’s now bone on bone.
     
    I finally made the appointment to see my Ortho doctor to see what he would say. Not only bone on bone but I also have a bone spur. 😳
     
    To make a long story short: Surgery is scheduled for Thursday, September 29.

    I have been on an adventure. I fell out of bed. Yes, a curious thing. As my head hit the floor, the angle was so precarious I was thankful my neck didn’t break. That’s what I thought as my head hit the floor. Not good. 
    Later in the day, in front of 3 people, I flat out fainted. As in, standing up one moment, on the deck the next. My head got another, “bonk”. 
    Merited me a trip, out town, in an ambulance. An hour and a half sojourn. 
    Sort of pathetic situation. No hospital rooms here. Three hours away, east, or south. And, they would have sent me! If I needed a hospital room.
    Got all my tests, and I apparently looked better, cause the doctor said I could go home. According to hospital records, grim. They are ruling out heart failure, breast cancer, and a hiatal hernia. (With a surgeon running around with a scalpel in his hind pocket, drumming up business.)
    My theory, (bit of a learning curve here, albiet, a tad late in the game.) The doctor that called the ambulance on me started, unceremoniously quizzing me on my, um, water intake. I had a hard time scrounging up a glass, the day before. That, with a tad of stress, and, I was out for the count. 
    I’m getting all sorts of tests to eliminate the dire things. But I have my suspicions, as my doctor does. We agree.  He’s doing his best to keep me alive, and, so far, pretty good. 
    Anyhow, I’m feeling pretty good. Getting my strength back. And, um, drinking at least 6 glasses of water. 
    Drink plenty of water!

    I almost feel like I need to do a, “check-in”, and reassure you dear friends, “I have not lost it”.  Well,  or lost it all. We have been in the process of the Tribe, “rehabbing”, or house, or um finishing certain aspects of it. Big huge job.
    It has been pretty well going on since January 3rd, this year. And, it has not been, “smooth sailing”. That red cedar floor downstairs now has been done twice. The first time, a less then stellar job. 
    Plus the rest of it. It was a big job, and the first crew we had up here flat out left when my husband said it needed a third coat. We had to somehow get them to do that second coat, and thought it was a big gift to us. Plus, they used one of those, cylinder sander. And, wherever he stopped, there was a dip in the floor. 
     Bottom line, it not only got a sealer coat, but four more coats of the stuff. It’s beautiful. They kept it natural, with grain still there 
    There is more like this…
    Everything was in my Zoom room. In fact, both of my Zoom rooms. I had two rooms I could use. 
    In the meantime, us and three cats were living upstairs. (We now have a bathroom, upstairs) 
    We could not go over the floor downstairs, so we used the door that eventually will be a back exit. Right now, it goes to the top of the washroom, and to a bank, about 4 feet from the top of the washroom floor. The bank.
    We used two planks to get to the bank. And, then a sketchy trail down the hill. I had to use something to make sure I did not tumble down the hill. Walking stick. 
    The floor is now cured, and we will start getting some order in this house. 
    Basically we have been living in one room, (the bed room) with a newly installed upstairs bathroom, that is functional. 
    My husband has lost his hearing aids, so he watches, very loud television. News, if you can call it that.
    No room for Zoom, until today. 
    I’ve gotten to all the meetings, and managed to prepare pretty well. (When my husband was out, doing whatever. 
    His wonderfully intelligent golden lab, (a rescue) killed on of our cat. I still can’t talk about that. 
    We are trying to get him into a, “no-kill” shelter. They will get 
    $100.00 when they take him. Yes, we are bribing! 
    I’ve been cooking outside. Let’s not talk about that either. 
    My sanity has been prayer, personal study, and the meetings. I did miss two weeks service.
    Its almost over. With the work they are doing on the house, that one was most dreadful. And, it’s all but over.  
    So, perhaps I should not have posted during this trauma. But I did. Maybe I will get my wits back now 
    Thank you for being there.❤️💜❤️

    Got my second cortisone shot in 7 months for the meniscus issue with my knee. I may have to think about checking with my orthopedic doc in the spring/summer. 
     
    The local doc tonight before he went out to prep the shot said that he may take out some of the fluid to take a look at it and maybe even send it in. Unfortunately, he didn’t. 
     
    I promised a friend that I wouldn’t rely on our local docs for too long. I know better. 🤣😂🤣

    Nice field service morning. Got a letter or 2 written. Had about 8 (?) people for the meeting for service and when everyone left it just left the host and his wife and me. 
     
    But the wonderful thing that happened close to noon, was the sister and I had a great conversation. It brought us together even closer as friends. 
     
    I told her how Zoom has brought me closer to the friends, where she is struggling with not having the physical contact. and struggles with conversation.
     
    We even made plans to get together on Zoom to get some association time.
     
    Friends, you’ll never know how much thus meant to me. But it meant a lot to her as well.
     
    She mentioned how she’d love to have a few sisters over for a bonfire, but with COVID, she’s not sure how that would go down.
     
    I then said how Ross and I have gotten together for a bonfire and camped out in her tent. I said Ross needs that friendship too. ❤️ ☺️ But I sure look forward to it as well. ☺️☺️☺️

    First, we had a guy climb over a fence at the Pictured Rocks overlook and fall to his death.

    Sometime last night during the search they found one of the kayaks. Sometime this morning they found a body.

    Just finished a Sheparding call with an Elder and the Overseer. Was nice. I was surprised though at the request/offer if I'd like to serve the congregation in a greater way, I was basically being asked on the spot if I could be in the position of a MS!

    Of course, I had to explain the condition of my health and why I couldn't hold such a position, but it was a nice compliment regardless to be encouraged to reach out for such a role.
