Day 333 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

         I am AFRAID to write this because I don't want to jinx myself but I am feeling less pain today!!! It is not all gone but it is definitely better!!! My friend Jill was right about getting the oxygen treatments.
I am thankful for the hyperbaric chamber because that seems to be what has helped me the most!!
          Today I am  also  thankful that I have an appointment with a new pain management doctor. My brother-in-law told me about her and said she is wonderful and that he has referred many of his law practice clients to her and everyone he knows loves her.  I called to make an appointment but they said I had to be referred by a physician, not a friend or relative.  So I asked the hyperbaric chamber doc to write me a referral which he did right away. They called my family doctor's office and whoever answered said they never heard of me!! Geez, I've been a patient there over 20 years and Dan and my three girls are patients there!! They NEVER forget who I am when it is time to pay!!!!
          I spent most of the day purging Christmas stuff.  We have WAY TOO MUCH stuff so I am donating tons to Goodwill!  LESS IS MORE!! Time for another family to enjoy the goodies!  All we really need is a tree and stockings and it looks festive!!The stockings are hung by the fireplace with care!!  I purged Christmas wreaths, ornaments, balls, stocking hangers, hats, and other assorted Christmas stuff!! I always feel much better when I purge stuff!! Dan is purging all of our outside lights.  He use to outline teh entire house but now we have one of those light sprays you just put into the ground!

Day 120 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

            Today I am thankful for the wonderful day I had on Sunday with my best friend Priscilla, and later with Dan.  I got up and went to a flea market in a close by shopping center.   I stopped at a Giant food store to get a flower for Priscilla's daughter's grave. I checked out and the male cashier asked me if I was Olivia's mother. He said and you have another daughter who was a year behind us, right?  He graduated with Olivia.  He asked me if she was still  at Penn State, what she was up to, etc.  I didn't expect that only because I was about 30 minutes away from home.  He told me that he had to drop out of the trade school he was in because he was in a bad motorcycle accident and has a metal rod in his leg and pins and screws in his collar bone and shoulder. I am not a fan of motorcycles!  I think they are so dangerous, especially because riders don...

       Today is St Patty's Day! Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!  This isn't a holiday that we usually ceIebrate because Dan and I are not big drinkers.  I don't drink at all, maybe a sip of champagne at a wedding but that is it. Today I am thankful  that Olivia and I are going to the thrift store. I love going to thrift stores. I absolutely need nothing but I always find something there.  My youngest daughter Olya is a great thrift store shopper, she always finds new name brand clothing. I guess if you're pretty and thin, you look good in anything! My girls could wear paper bags and look good! Since it is St Patrick's Day, the thrift shop is giving 17% off of purchases. So I am sure we will come home with plenty of stuff we don't need.       Today was Joe's birthday.  When we called him we asked what my granddaughter Kaylee wanted for her birthday in April.  She will be 7. I asked her if s...

          Today I am thankful that we are having a good time on our vacation in Texas!! We didn't have any set plans and just decided to do things as we had time.  Dan really wanted to visit NASA so we did that and we all enjoyed the visit.  Time just keeps moving forward in life and it is the simple things and shared moments that mean the most.  This was the MOST crowded place we went to on our trip. After Nasa we decided to head to Galveston.  We found a great place to tour.  It was called the Bishop's Palace. It was a beautiful historical house that was once owned by a very rich couple, Josephine and Walter Gresham, and later owned by the Catholic archdiocese of Galveston and became the Bishop's home.  The woodwork inside was magnificent and breathtaking!  Olivia and Olya really enjoyed touring the home.
