A NEW UPDATE...

Hi Everyone...Hope you all have a great and safe Thanksgiving!
I will be headed out to the "Midwest" Center for Thanksgiving..it's free and I won't have to sit and be alone...or cook...lol so anyway....

We will be getting a new Bus driver in January I think that's when they change things up....you know schedules...drivers, that kinda thing ...well the diver who takes over for the guy on the 53 in the early morning is going to have some big shoes to fill....LOL we riders in the early mornings have become "accustomed" to a certain amount of "entertainment" in the morning...This driver is sooooo funny....most days he has the whole bus ( there are at least 7 of us that are regulars) in stitches...

I now have a 20lb weight limit.....don't have to go to PT anymore....boo hoo.......lol  That was like social hour for me....anyway next appointment..12/4.....

Well that's whats up in my world....

Later................

WELL HELLO!

Hi all!  well it is certainly good to be back at work. Now up to a five lb. weight limit!  oh the joys....LOL. Anyway...Not much going on here not even a good bus story.....still going to therapy twice a week... social hour for me I have a student that takes care of me when I go in she is so sweet.....she is a fraid to hurt me tho....lol.  The "church Lady" (whose apartment I fell in) is constantly telling me Meryl (she  renamed me) please slow down watch that cord.....lol

Well That's what's up in my world...

WELL....I AM HEALING VERY WELL...

So well I am back at work...with a one pound weight limit. WOO HOO....lol. I have therapy 2 times a week...what fun the best thing about that is the "dry sauna" 15 min in that and it feels wonderful! That is a machine that is filled up with some kinda fluffy stuff and it gets going with some blowing hot air. Then some exercising,then she rubs lotion on my scar which is hardly noticeable!
Of course when I got back to work the hours were cut to 3 hrs a day..and four on sat and Sunday two hours in the morning 7:30 am - 9:30 am  then...3:00 - 5:00 pm....sucks on Sunday buses run nasty.  
Weather here still sucks  HOT HUMID NASTINESS and OMG!! the rain....have a bumper crop of weeds in the back yard, don't know when I will be able to mow with the bad paw. My neighbor next door did it for me earlier.

Well anyway  that's whats up in my world...

WELL....I SURVIVED...

I got a plate and ELEVEN....yes...I said ELEVEN screws!!! Had the surgery on June 27th.....and it really wasn't as bad as I thought...The surgeon called the next day and asked me if I remember talking after surgery....I'm like...ummm...no...He said I asked to see the x-rays.....LOL...I remember nothing...The first thing I remember is someone sticking a pill in my mouth and giving me some water....lol. ....NOW here is the bad news....on July 18th I was pulling up my sock w/ my brace on....and got a sharp pain in the wrist....didn't last to long went about my business ...post office...food store....came home and discovered my left thumb was no longer working right ☺sooo the next day called surgeon...had an ultra sound MRI is out because of the hardware. I guess what happens sometimes when you break a wrist real bad is sometimes a tendon gets frayed...leave it to me....I will be asking the Hand surgeon he is a different than the wrist guy...what would be the consequences if I DON'T have the surgery..if is going to give me any issues a few years from now, because right now I just can't lift it when my hand is flat on the table and can't make a thumbs up sign👍 , and have some difficulty tying my shoes....anyway I will keep you posted...I see the hand surgeon tomorrow.

Weather has improved at least humidity wise.

Well that's what's up in my world..

WELL....I WILL NEVER...

take my left hand for granted again.....lol.. I guess you don't appreciate a limb until you lose the use of it.... me being right handed  I was thankful it was my left wrist that was broken. Never realizing WHAT your non-dominant hand actually does. Well I did survive surgery....I have hardware now...and turns out I only broke my radius... and it split the long way  hence the hardware, hurt like hell the first day or two after that its not to bad,at least my fingers are ALMOST normal sized now. I have a follow up on July 11 cannot wait to get this bandage OFF!!!
     We have also been having the heat wave from hell the last 4 days..OMG!! soo hot and humid..temps in the mid nineties and 
'feels' like temps into the triple digits...and I do not have ac....the only reason  I am out and about today is because Ma Nature was kind enough to give the heat wave a rest for a bit.

anyway what most shocks me is the lack of empathy from my so called friends....not all of them but my friend cj came over and did some dishes for me and some cooking. next door neighbor came over to see if I needed something, another friend picked me up and took me to her house and gave me a shower (I cannot reach the left side of my body....lol)

Anyway that's whats up in my world........

WELL WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS.....

Well....I fell and broke my left wrist....thank goodness it was not my right...lol. I was rushing around trying to get my residents clothes in the washer but she needed more was tokens...so she handed me the money and my foot got caught on her phone cord....and down I went....broke both ulna and radius....and they seem to think I tore up some ligaments too...tossing the idea o\f surgery around...please no....and the worst...I hurts worse than when I broke my foot years ago....maybe just getting old...lol.

I will try and keep you posted


Later.... 

WELL.....LOL STILL NO HOT WATER....

Well....been way over a month....I have just decided I will prolly never have hot water again.....I have the water heater....just no one to put it in...lol  Did make a call to newly found nephew.....I don't remember tellin you guys about that or not....I'll have to look....he does handyman/remodeling stuff...I take my showers in the building where I work....one of my residents lets me use her shower or one of the other residents who has 'adopted me' lets me use hers too....

Weather here is crazy...end of May was COLD/RAINY....COLD....COLD/RAINY....HOT .....It is a bit better now but sheesh....I guess it's better than -20 and snow...so I will shut up about it....lol.

Why the heck do people do the things they do....If you have a problem being... 
touched,
breathed on,
bumped into,
talked to,
looked at.....
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STAY THE FUCK OFF THE BUS!!!!! For your own sanity.... 
the bus drivers sanity.....
and for the sanity of ALL passengers on that bus!!!
BUY A CAR! If you can't afford one walk..simple...
4 people in the past two weeks have gotten on the bus and chewed people out because they were bumped into...touched....etc...

Finally got my lawn mowed...(you know my fav job..NOT)
my back yard was waist high!!!!!!!!  OMG!!! had to weed wack it first....took me 20 fraken minutes to figure out how to put the stupid string in....LMAOO
Any way got to pooped out so at least got the front mowed and weed wacked the back and two days later my sweetie pie neighbors finished the back for me!

Well My 2 hours is almost up...till next time..
