Once again it's after midnight here. . .
Cady, I don't think my niece cared one way or another how she had the baby, as long as it came out safe and sound. It was her dr's idea to try for a vag. birth.
My daughters are forever complaining, too, that some teachers care, and some are just putting in time. It's too bad, as they are often the role models for many of the next generation.
Goodness, Sandi, you are surely having tire problems. I hope they're fixed properly now. We used to have Firestone tires up here, and the company actually had a very good name, but they closed up shop and moved away many years ago. The place where the shop was is now a parking lot. {:-o
My dr's app't this morning was very good. My bg has gone up a bit, but considering I'm working on half of one med, and none of another, he was very pleased with it. My cholesterol is down, and my triglycerides, too, so that also made him happy. My bp was 120/60. I said well, for climbing 2 flights of stairs 5 mins ago, that wasn't bad. He very much agreed.
There's a story behind that. As I started up the stairs, a woman was getting into the elevator, which is right beside the stairs. I got to the Dr's office and was walking in the door when the elevator stopped and this woman got off. She followed me into the office, and when the receptionist looked up, she quickly pushed forward and gave her name. The receptionist said have a seat please. Then I gave her my name and she said you can come right in. I almost laughed out loud. I wasn't in the examining room 2 mins and my dr. was right there. From walking in the door, up 2 flights of stairs, seeing the dr, making another app't for 3 months from now, down 2 flights, and out the door, took less than 20 mins. I think I need to write that one on the chimney! {:-D Hardy didn't even get where he was going and I was phoning him to come back and get me.
I asked him about my ears, he checked them both, said there was a tiny bit of wax in the one bothering me, but not enough to need to do anything about it, and the other one was perfectly clear. So I guess what I got out was about all there was. Thank goodness for that, as my dad is forever getting his ears syringed out. I also asked him about the finger that keeps getting a hard lump on it, and burning like fire, when I do a lot of typing. He checked it out and feels that it is a ganglion -- similar to the ones people get on their wrists. He said next time it gets bad, instead of holding it tightly until it goes away, I should hit it with a heavy book, in order to burst it. He said that then it shouldn't bother me any more. He said I probably got it when my ring was so tight (I think I told you about that before) and that it was the result of inflamation.
So, all in all, a very nice, clean bill of health. He said whatever I was doing I should keep doing it. He was very pleased with the effort I've been taking to keep myself healthy.
When Hardy got back to pick me up, I was outside waiting by the curb. Our youngest daughter, Joy, was with us today. Anyhow, she got out of the front to get into the back, and as she's stepping out of the car, her foot hit the curb, slipped off it, and down she went. Both knees got skinned, and one elbow. She landed on both wrists, which of course hurt both shoulders, which is why her arms gave out and she banged her elbow. This is the daughter who's been having all the medical problems. She wears a splint in her mouth at night for TMJ, wears splints on both wrists night and day, and has already had surgery on one knee, and might need it on the other pretty soon. She sat in the car and cried for about half an hour because the pain was so bad. It finally eased off enough that she thought she could function long enough to get home to take her pain meds (she doesn't carry them with her as they knock her out). She didn't want to take any tylenol or motrin as then she couldn't take her prescription stuff when she got home. What a day. High for me, low for her.
But after she slept for an hour she felt good enough to come to our place and help us take her trampoline down for the winter. We have her trampoline and pool at our place as where they live now, there is no room for either of them. I don't mind as our back yard is hidden from view, and hers is open to the view of anyone walking by. (We've got kids in our town who would be over there every day without permission, jumping or splashing, especially if no one was home to chase them away) All she'd need is for someone to sue her because their kid got hurt while she wasn't home.
It's 1:05 a.m. guess I'd better hit the hay. . . {:-)
