Its Friday

This morning at 8:15 am I dropped Ethel off at ceramics then I went for my treatment with Dr. Rick. Dr. told me it is better for me to do one of my icing before I go to bed, so tonight I am going to try it and see if I sleep better. We had just a little sprinkle. After my treatment I went for 15 minute on the treadmill and picked up Ethel.. I made spaghetti and meat balls for lunch and a desert with rice,
 pineapple and raisins. We played Rummy-Q this afternoon.

Rain today

Today it rained off and on all day. Escondido got about 1" of rain but I think we might have gotten a little more as it really poured down while we were watching our game shows. We didn't go to hand and foot. I feel very bad that I didn't call Hsing as she went and none of us showed up. Today I wrapped most of my Christmas gifts. Ethel and I played Rummy-Q.

Looks like I didn't blog yesterday

Well I didn't do much yesterday not even Blog. Today after breakfast I went to Dr. Rick then we went to Wells Fargo and then to Wal-Mart. I did some Christmas shopping plus groceries. On our way home we stopped at the little Chinese place for lunch. When we got home it seemed like we really worked hard as we were really worn out after putting everything away. So we both got our ice bags and went to our chair. We said "getting OLD is for the birds". For dinner we had the left over Chinese food.

Feeling better

It sure feels better to not have constant pain. This morning I made oat meal with raisins and coffee. At 8:15 on my way for the Dr. apt. I dropped off Ethel at ceramics. At 9:30 we came home. I am still doing my icing. For lunch we had stir fry and lemon pudding with blueberries and whipped cream. Then at 1:00 we went to play Hand and Foot. There was just four of us. For dinner I made eggs and ham on toast and we had two fig cookies.

Installation of Dr. Bryan Stamper

Today the Church Service started at 9:30 it being a combination of all services so it was longer and there was no Bible Study class. We went to Soup Plantation for lunch. Mary stopped by and she is feeling better as she had a cold last week.
I am feeling less pain today as it is easier for me to get in the car without lifting my leg into the car.

A Slow Day

There is not much to say for today. Just a relaxing day for me. I called Alden and they went for counseling today. Ethel did the washing. I miss the left overs as I didn't bring any home. I feel sorry for Candace as she was late Thanksgiving Day and look at her dinner plate. O well she found some food.

Home Again

I didn't have to drive to Alden's which was great. We arrived Wednesday evening at Alden's and we played Chicken Track with dominoes. I had a good time with Alden's for Thanksgiving. Lots of food as usual. Dinner was served at 1:30 pm. There was twelve people for dinner. We had some rain and Alden and Paige put the little house that Alden built for the cats in the back and the cats seemed to like it. Today Alden spent some time correcting papers. We had left overs to eat then Alden brought me home
.

Ready for Thanksgiving

I had a good sleep last night, the pain started at about 6:00 am so I got up at that time. I had a waffle with blueberries and coffee for breakfast. Today we dressed up the dinning table for the Holidays. I did some computer work and reading. Of course there is always fixing meals. We have not been playing Rummy-Q as Ethel is having pain in her shoulders. I did my three times of icing my lower back, yes it is so cold. Also am doing some exercise and stretching.
I will not be blogging for a few days as I will be at Alden's for Thanksgiving.

Fifth Apt with Dr. Rick

This morning I made oat meal with raisins and 1/2 banana and coffee. We went to ceramics and then we went to Dr. Rick. Dr. more stretching this time. This afternoon we went to the club for hand & foot. I did my icing three times. I called Alden and he and Gina are coming Wednesday to go with me to the Dr. then I will go to their place with them until Friday. Yaa I don't have to drive maybe I am getting old as I don't care to drive on the freeway.

Sunday

I had a bad night with pain, At 12:00 I went to my chair and slept two hours in my chair, then I went back to bed and slept until 6:00 am. I took a shower and had my coffee and yogurt. We went to Church but Ethel had back pain so we didn't go to the Bible Study class. We just went home. then I made omelets  with veggies and ham. For dinner I made Chicken strips, sweet potato and mixed veggies and fruit cocktail cake.
I am showing the Christmas decorations which we set up.

Pain

Today I did the washing of clothes which includes changing my bed. I had a yogurt and coffee for breakfast. I started to have more pain as my back went out again. I did my three icing today. Even more pain I still decided to set up my Manger Scene with Ethel's help. We didn't put the light up for it as we were both in pain. After watching Lawrence Welk this evening I took two pain pills.. I will have Alden sweep the leaves off the patio when he comes. We had a few dry windy days and the leaves landed on the patio so I just swept by the door so we don't track into the house.

Fourth treatment

Ethel went with me to see Dr. Rick and she made a appointment for Saturday as she has pain between her shoulder. Today the Dr. did a little more stretching. Now I know my co-payment is $10.00 each time.but I am feeling less pain. On our way home we stopped at ceramics just to pick up some of our things and Patty was the only person at ceramics.

Thanksgiving Prime Time

Our breakfast was oat meal with raisins and 1/2 banana and coffee. I called to make my appointments with Dr. Rick at 10:30 for next week Monday and Wednesday as Alden and Gina want to go with me on Wednesday. We went to Prime Time and the entertainment was Rachael Vocalist, the Dinner was Thanksgiving Turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables, green salad and pumpkin pie.
At 2:00 pm we went to cards and there were six of us.

Funny Day

My Chiropracter's name is Dr. Rick. I went for my appointment this morning at 8:45 am. I was home by 9:00 am. I did my three sessions of 20 minutes of ice on my back. Then I tried a new recipe which I got from the computer and it turned out bad, it tasted good but the chili peppers didn't cook good. Then I mixed up some brownies from a box and we didn't have a baking dish the right size. So here was this little patch of brownie dough in this big baking dish. Well we had a good laugh about how my cooking turned out today. I am sure glad nobody else was here to eat.

Shopping

Last night I had a better sleep. This morning I made poached egg on 1/2 slice of toast and coffee for breakfast. At 8:00 am we went to Wal-Mart for shopping. I did my three sessions of ice on my lower back. I did real light exercise. We played Rummy-Q and finally I was the winner.
Picture shows avocado which I didn't have.

What is in store for my pain

Today the Chiropractor went over what is causing the pain on my right side. The X-ray shows that my left hip is much higher than my right hip. He wants to treat me three times a week for four weeks to gradually get my back straight. Today the treatment was four packs to vibrate on my back for ten minutes set as high as I could stand it. Then the treatment was to lay on a machine while he moved different parts of my body. Also I ICE my lower back three times a day for twenty minutes each time.

Veterans Day

Today we went to the 8:30 service pastor Mofid spoke on "Are you prepared to Carry the Cross?". A man played the trumpet then the audience sang the Armed Forces Medley Army, Navy, Coast Guard Guard, Air Force and Marine Corps. At each song all people who served in that branch stood, it was so touching as there were so many who served in our military. We went to Soup Plantation for brunch.

Another Day

I made oat meal with resins and blueberries and coffee for breakfast. I did my three times of applying the ice pack on my lower back. for lunch I made spaghetti and meat balls and green salad. For dinner I made chili and one half slice of toast and jello and a fig cookie. We played Rummy-Q. This evening we watched Larance Welk show.

First Chiropractor Apt

This morning after breakfast I called for a Chiropractor apt. and there was a opening for 1:45 pm which I took. I went through the procedure of X-rays and massage pressure using four pads for ten minutes on my back. Also I was checked for other things. I have another apt. for Monday to go through X-ray results and the kind of treatment I will have. I am to apply a ice pack on my back for twenty minutes three times a day. The Scan Ins. accepts this with a $10.00 co payment.

Prime Time

I had a bad night with pain. Finally I got up at 5:00 am and made my bed and rested in my chair and had time of prayer. After taking a shower I had my yogurt and coffee.
At 10:00 am we went to Prime Time the entertainment was Tony (Vocalist) the menu was Chicken Pot Pie, green salad Ice cream and cookie. Frank talked me into going to his chiropractor so I will try and go tomorrow. I have been doing a lot of exercise but I still have the pain. I think it is the sciatic and back problem.

Election results

Well the election didn't turn out the way I had hoped but God is in charge and Trump seems to be satisfied with it. He is trying so hard to help our country. I still pray that God will take care.
This morning at 10:30 am we went to get the smog check, then we went to Mama Cellas for lasagna. The doenut shop is next door so of course we had to purchase two maple bars. This afternoon we played Rummy-Q then we had our maple bars for our afternoon snack.. For dinner we had the rest of our lasagna.

Enjoy reading A-Team blogs

Yes I enjoy reading Lovely's blogs, this way I keep up with what they are doing in Taiwan.
This encourages me also to blog. Thank you Lovely. You are so great.
Today is voting day so I have been checking the news but it seems like the Fake News got to the Americans but we still pray that God will be with our country.

Day before midterms

Not much to say. We went to play "Hand and Foot" there was six of us thanks to have Hsing and she is doing great for a starter. Hsing, Marianna and myself were "Big Time Loosers". But we had a good time.

Time change FALL BACK

We didn't know if it was real to change time, so this morning at 2:15 am I looked at my clock then I went to my Iphone to check and sure enough it was 1:15 am. Then it was changing all clocks, I sure wish they would leave it the same way all the time.
We went to 8:30 Church service and then to 10:00 Bible Study we are studying Hebrews 11 about FAITH. We really enjoy the Bible Study class and the donut holes and coffee this class must have attendance of at least 75 . Then we went to Denny's for brunch but there were so many people and the service was very slow so we decided to go to soup plantation next week.

Get SMOG TEST at a STAR station

This morning was my turn to wash clothes and change my bedding. I am still having pain but it seems like it might be getting better, I keep praying for my health. Also praying for our country with the election coming up next week, also for the caravans coming our way.
Another thing to do, now I have to find a STAR station to get my SMOG test. Two years ago I had to do that. I don't know why this has to be done maybe because it is a old car.

Feeling better

I thank God that today I have had some relief from the pain of my left side from lower waist to down below my knee. This morning we went for ceramics. We made scalloped potatoes for lunch. Our afternoon snack was pumpkin pie with whipped cream. I mailed my property tax today so that is done for another year.

Prime Time

Today we went to Prime Time and the entertainment was Pete Deluke (Big Band) it was real good and the menu was Beef Stroganoff & Egg Noodle Pasta and green salad. Desert was a layered cake with lemon filling. Of course we had enough for dinner tonight. At 2:00 pm we went to cards and there was 7 of us as Hsing  joined us and she just watched she seems to like it so she might join us.
