I thought I would give a shout out to my brother, Mike for continuing to keep me laughing! This is a good way to start a new post. My family is so precious! On both sides. Counting my blessings and today I’ll keep moving my body. I actually painted yesterday. Yinz (or in Ducktown, we said younz and sometimes younzez) are probably so tired of reading about this painting project. I’m making some progress! I am grateful for another day and the fact that I’m still moving around. Western Pa is as dreary as it was when we lived in Oregon. At least the cloud cover is the same. It’s almost the exact same weather. I remember the first trip I took back here in the winter. On the way home from the airport, it took me a minute to put my finger on what was so different. Then it dawned on me. Oregon is very green during winter months because of all of the pine trees! East coast is very, well, brown.
I have two doc appointments coming up this week. Truth be told, on a scale of one to ten, ten being awful, I’m still fortunately about a two or three. The pain in the lower back is more than likely part of the disease. Tylenol and ice packs and trying to move around helps for sure.
I have moments of slight nausea so lots of water. Not much appetite but I manage to eat a little everyday.
My brother Ray and my sister in law Sue (there are two sisters in law that are Sue) are bringing me some wedding soup today!
One thing my mom and dad did so right was to raise five kids that have spouses that get along so great. Now if that is not a blessing, I do not know what is!
Later
