Thank you all for your wishes. I had a wonderful birthday. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean :cocktail:

March came in like a lamb down in Georgia U.S.A.. March is one of my favorite months. My birthday is in March, the first day of Spring, BTW us today March 20th, Mardi Gra , warm weather has returned, gardening begins. I've been a busy person since my last post. I went for my first appointment about my knees, the doctor took a history, and I got x rays of my knees and back. Received stimulation therapy on my knees also. Next week I'll start coming twice a week one for shots series, the other for therapy. Oh ya, when I was waiting to be seen they had me sit in a massage chair and gave my feet a detox bath. Everyone is so pleasant and have a happy attitude . Carl brought me this time and ended up walking out with an appointment for next time. Carl's hip goes out of socket, we had just the other day gone to his chiropractor for an adjustment. He's still in pain. We are both believes of back adjustment. My knee doctor also does adjustments but in a different way. I'll find out when I get one and tell you all about it. I have not had an adjustment on my back since 2005 and walking with a cane since then I'm out of alinement. Now, starting on my flower garden. I have the front garden plot and I have a side garden plot for flowers. For veggies we built a garden box about the size of a king size bed. LOL the reason I'm laughing is I used Carl's old water bed frame. I think that's good recycling. After all it's been hanging around for over 20 years. Lol Our county gives free mulch away, we filled up a few bags brought it home and dumped it in the veggie garden. That was last month we did and Carl spread veggie fertilizer over it and has turned it over and let it sit until we plant. Now back to flowers, BTW Carl's in pain so he is not digging or bending, he is DIRECTING. That's OK to me for as long as he is involved in the processes. I won't be able to tell you the names of all the bulbs I planted but, theirs a bunch, you'll have to wait until they bloom and I'll post pictures. In the front flower garden I planted bulbs first then, I planted flower seeds, wild flowers, Mexican sunflowers, regular sunflowers to name a few. Side flower garden , from the gate inward 18 inches towards the house, I planted Yellow Cannons. I did that a couple of days ago. From their up to the house I turned over the soil. That was enough work for me, I'll plant tomorrow. It was another beautiful sunny day. That's as far as I got, I got my exercise for the day. At least one kind now I'll go the the Y and do my swimming laps. Thirty-six laps equal a mile. My birds are keeping me busy filling the feeders, I only use black oiled sunflowers. The other kind with every kind of seed in it attracts squirrels, doves, and any thing else I don's want to attract. The woodpeckers are feasting on the suet, so many of them young, old, and different types. Time to buy a new suet. I'm working on I ding the birds.:hot:I told I've been busy.

You have been blessed.

Lydia, Asha has a good idea to sit down with Sam and the whole family. Lydia you had the stroke which effected you. Your family have to watch and adjust to your differences. It's just as tough for your family as for you. I have noticed that you loose a lot of your friends cuz they look at you that it could be them. Appreciated what others are doing for you. You are their loved one, and don't know how to help you without interfering. So, gather everyone and explain to them what your feeling, and how you will accept help. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean:cocktail::cocktail: P.S. to collect Disability you have to stopped working. (at least in GA where I live)what to know more about my experience pm me. :secret:

Debbie, I speak from experience in taking meds that turns you into sleeping or dozing all the time. Even just after you slept a 8 hour night. My eyes are always heavy, hard to concentrate on using the computer or watching TV, reading of any kind. If I have dinner as early as Bruce does I end up falling asleep for 4 or 5 hours wake up and could possibly not be able to fall asleep for the night. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean :cocktail:

Yesterday I set the clock ahead early. I was getting excited my birthday is hours away. I'm 57 today. I'm as healthy as I can be (taking all the meds). I am blessed I can still walk using a cane. My memory ability, shot or long term is getting worse but I'm coping. It' Carl that is having more and more trouble with my loss of memory. I'm working with brain games for exercise. Tonight is our monthly metaphysical meeting. I'm looking for forward to it. I received the driving directions to the new doctors office, tomorrow.

Thank you Fred for the warm words of wisdom. I pray for all those in harms way. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean :cocktail:

:forgive_me?:Heather, Sounds like you can and will enjoy yourself at the cottage. What a great way to celebrate you reunion. remembertolaug, Jeanniebean :cocktail:

Ken that was a Humpty Dumpty's fall off the wall. Good thing you didn't break anything. Bruises will heal, I should now I'm bruised all over from falls. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean:cocktail:

It doesn't have anything to do with being good catholic or not. As long as you have faith. Faith in what ever you want to call it but it's not human. My husband and I are both catholic and we always said their must me another way. We practice metaphysical ACIM. You must practice something no? You listen to loud music and that is your coping skill. That's ok, it's what works for you. Each it's own thing. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean:cocktail:

Lynn, Glad to hear you son made it home safely and before all this ugly weather of today. Your cousin is walking the distance to calif. from where? Put your feet up and relax and get that blood pressure down. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean:cocktail::cocktail:Lets have a Emoticon drink!

The injection aren't new it's what they are using with what is being injected in your joint. read the link. This is suppose to last 18 months.

Sunny, Prepare the house for Jules he's coming home sooner than you think. It sounds as if Jules is working hard on his therapy. Good for him. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean:cocktail:

Marie is right an all accounts. I have to stretch every day to keep me able to stand and walk. I refuse to let this stroke get the better of me. I know you do to. You are a child of God, you are perfect. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean:cocktail:

Sue, Hope your ear is feeling better. I love when you talk about the trips to the beach and the water. You describe it so well I feel as if I'm their. Soak up all that warm weather to hold you over the winter. As, we are coming out of winter and it was a long cold one this year that I'm not going to complain about the heat this summer. remembertolaugh, Jeannibean :cocktail:

Ruth, :happybday: William. My birthday is the 13th. Ruth I'm sure you will make his day special. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean :cocktail:

Lynn, Love your post. If it went smooth it would not have been as fun. Gland you back home. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean :cocktail:

I can't speak as a parent but you did what you needed to do. Stop punching yourself. You were a great mom then and your a great mom now and always. Guilt kills. Let it go. Talk to your older son if it bothers you and let him know from you so that he doesn't have any misunderstanding. Clear the air let you son know you feel guilty and hear his side if he feels cheated. My mother was brought up as a parent to keep things to yourself. When she had months to live, I sat down with my mother, her being 70 and me being 46 and cleared the air. I let my mother explain and be at peace at her time of death. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean :cocktail:
