February already.
Hi Everyone! Well, it's February already! We are sitting here with our house torn up due to the water main break back in October. They are putting in new floors, vinyl and carpet. It has been a horribly wet fall/winter. Sandie and I and the dogs are confined to our office. The coffee pot is in my bathroom (oh joy) and everything is packed, stacked or stuffed in my bedroom and hers. Finally it got to freezing here so at least the ground is solid. Barn was flooded, but is drying out now.
I go in for another cancer test the end of this month and will know the results the first week in March. I am currently suffering from severe bursitus in my hips (but the joints are fine). Walking any distance for me is extremely painful so there goes the excercise. I asked the Ortho doctor what causes it, what can I do to help it and he told me it was "just my bad luck". So I got a cortesone shot in each hip (I'd rather give birth again), which didn't help at all, so I am taking prescription strength Motrin for the pain. I am also going to physical therapy twice a week for carpal tunnel syndrome and the neoropathy in my hand. Feet are a lost cause. I am still having pain in my abdomen but don't know if it is scar tissue or cancer returning. I will find out next month.
I'm going to be a grandma (nana) again! Angie is pregnant with a baby boy and is due in July. Angie and Tim Unger were married in January in Michigan. Sandie's daughter, Melissa, is also due in July so it is exciting! Angie and her husband, Tim, have been trying for 7 years to get pregnant, from in-vitro fertilization to artificial insemination. She only has one ovary and it frequently develops large cysts. So I am very proud of her and happy for them.
Little Julie is doing great although she has a cold now. She is the light of our life. Ashleigh and Joey are wonderful parents and have much more patience than I ever did. Ashleigh is a certified Massage Therapist and works part time with a chiropractor in Metropolis. She loves it, and of course, we just adore Joey.
A friend of ours just butchered a 350 lb hog for us so we have lots of pork now.
Well, that's about it. Love to you all.
