47°f/8.3°C, raining.
Yesterday's morning skies:
It was a beautiful day, warm enough to wear just a light jacket. Today? Change is coming, as cold moves in tonight.
Larry is off hunting again. No luck yesterday although he did see a couple deer too far away for a shot. He also had a tire blow out on our road as he was headed out. He called our grandson Clayton, who came and picked him up---left the truck right there and went hunting! He and Clayton put the spare on in the dark. Not ones to give up their hunting time.
So I had a quiet day. I packed ebay and took it to the mailbox, planted some foxtail lilies and 50 crocus bulbs before leaving for my PT appointment. This time, besides the usual exercises, he put my neck in traction. Now that is an odd feeling. It looked like a medieval torture device, I swear. Afterwards, I asked him if it made me an inch taller, getting my neck stretched like that. Sadly, no luck there. It did help, for about 12 hours, but no more therapy until next Monday, except these home exercises. At least I got a fairly decent night's sleep.
Not much else going on here. I am grateful for a little slowdown, I must admit. Tomorrow I will do a little advance cooking for Thanksgiving, but won't do much as it will just be Derek, Larry, and me
Oh, one other piece of news! Granddaughter Hannah is expecting again, in July. Granddaughter Kate is due in January, making numbers 7 and 8 great grandchildren. I am so happy for them both.
Congratulations on the coming little ones!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on #7 and #8 great grands. None here so far and not too likely for a few years.
ReplyDeleteHaving your neck in traction sounds painful but hey! If it works💗.
...normal, it's merely a setting on a washing machine!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to have great grands expected! Only one of my grands is even engaged! Oh well. I do love them just the way they are! Stretching your neck sounds like a comfortable way to have relief of nerve pains, or maybe your numbness. Sorry it didn’t last.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for the new expected grand children, such joy.
ReplyDeleteOur temperature has suddenly dropped and its horribly cold.
Surely you jest, there is nothing normal about your life! Hopefully Larry has success, I am heading back out in a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteYou have stirred a memory of my wife using a neck traction device at home. This was a very long time ago. Glad it helped for awhile at least.
ReplyDeleteThe wind is blowing like crazy here and we might get a LOT of snow this weekend. So it's a good time to stay inside and get ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Then this weekend, I might start my Christmas decorating. Only 4 weeks left!!
ReplyDeleteMiserable that therapy is not helping faster, but my experiences lead me to believe that it always takes a lot of time. Nice about the greatgrand. Our first is due in February.
ReplyDeleteMore Grands on the way. That's quite a few. Enjoy your nice quiet Thanksgiving with the 3 of you. We'll be part of a hoard, which I find very tiring. Glad the therapy is helping and hope things continue on the upswing for you. Looked very foggy. Too bad about the tire and not getting anything while they were out hunting.
