Subject: Re: TUESDAY MORNING 8 SEPT by vetteblondie on 2020/9/8 14:27:46 Good morning all, sorry about the hiatus, but tried to disconnect a bit from the world and absorb the outdoors around me. Back at work today, dreaded being here and wished I was rich enough to not have to. God puts too much stuff out there I still need to see and experience to be sitting all day in a box. Had coffee outside this morning and was admiring the peace and stillness, the hummingbirds, flowers - should do that way more often. Marcus, sorry to hear of your back diagnosis. Please try to take care of this for yourself. This is what the cousin I have in the nursing home was diagnosed with. I hate to see anyone suffering. Same for you, Tommy - take care of yourself. All of you. And proud you are still not smoking. Don't restart. Sense of smell is great until you run up on an open sewer somewhere or someone farts in front of you in line  My hip still hurts 3 years post surgery. I think however one, my body doesn't do well with internal hardware, two - my job requires me to sit all day which is the worst thing for a hip and three - at the triple incision site I think I have some scar tissue or something that's seriously affected my thigh muscle. All of it keeps my piriformis in a knot which twists my lower back thereby pinching my sciatic nerve and causing pain in the sacroilliac area. I can be walking and thigh muscle will just spasm and bout put me in the floor. Should've never had the hip surgery. Getting worse so there's an impendig doc visit. Need to exercise more to lose weight which also affects it but when it hurts to walk, then what? I do have good days and when I do I end up overdoing it. Happy Birthday to Sue also!Had a good trip and enjoyed not working. He enjoyed not working on anything except holding down his lawn chair and drinking beer. This is the first time in his life I think he's been off work for a solid week for a vacation. Had surgery previously but that really wasn't a 'vacation'. I'm trying to get him to take more. My phone blew up while we were gone I ignored best I could. He got one call asking could he come work on something and he sent them back a photo of his feet in the sand with water in background, that settled that. We'll be back in Tebbetts, MO weekend after next. My old body shop friend/boss needs some mechanic help with the '68 Vette he's restoring for himself. I'll probably get roped into some sanding/scuffing, or assembly of some sort. He can't stand 'detail' type work, little bitty stuff so I figure he'll have me a pile waiting as well. I'd rather grab his wife and flea market. We'll see when we get there. We also have to deliver a rifle of theirs we have and pick up a groovy lava lamp they found for me while out shopping. Hope everyone has a great day, cooler here some but still summer for all I'm concerned. Of course you see everyone rushing in the pumpkin spice mess already. |
