JUST CATCHING UP ON WHAT IS HAPPENING



The top picture is one I took of a Sunset and near the top is a tiny black dot which is a Helicopter. The picture below is of a wild canary on the right hand corner of the planter. There is a pair of them that come almost daily. Also, almost daily, a beautiful Hummingbird comes by. He takes a sip or two out of the feeder several times and then is off.


Last week I was really sick with Bronchitis. I went to the doctor and she gave me antibiotics and cough syrup. It is always the same. My lungs are clear. It just settles in my Bronchial tubes. I didn't use to get it but about the last 3 years I keep getting it. Other than that I really don't have any problems.


Yesterday Donna went on a whale watching cruise with some of her school kids. She had to drive to Port Townsend. When she was ready to go home she had such a painful thumb on her right hand that she couldn't even turn the car on or put the car in gear. She managed with her left hand. By the time she got home it was too late to go to the doctor.


Today Donna had school and she did manage to get a substitute to come in at 10:00am. I had to get up at 6am to take her to school and then I picked her up a little after 10 and she had a doctor appointment at 11am. The doctor gave her a cortisone shot and then a perscription to help with the pain. She had a blood test to see if it might be Gout and also an x-ray. The doctor thinks it is probably just Arthritis but Donna is going to be seeing a hand specialist.


Donna had a meeting at the Church this evening. Her thumb is feeling better. I was going to take her but she said she could drive. She still used her left hand to start the car and put it in gear. At least it is Thursday and now Laif will be able to take care of her.


Yesterday was such a beautiful day here. I got really ambitious. I went to Penney's to get a perm. Afterward I stopped at the shoe store in the same shopping area and bought another pair of everyday shoes and a very comfortable pair of sandals for our trip to Cancun.
