@Sks1997... I almost have to chuckle at your reminding me of the possibilities of falling on either “assent, or, descent into the tub”. The thought of cracking a tailbone never occurred to me! Wouldn’t That be a pickle?. I Did slip once, some time ago, getting out...my hand slipped on the wet surface. I fell, managing to hit my shoulder in the process, & had a rather colorful ( and very tender, sore) healing process. No major damage, but it made me aware of possibilities. So, that wet wash rag, sure has served me well now. I just had not realized how weak my thighs were, & again reminded how very blessed I was with my therapist, who has, all along been working on strengthening my thighs.
I’m with you, I Love being a Grandma! I often refer to our little guy as “ my heart”. ❤. We were 70 & 75 when he was born. He will be an “ only” as his parents are in their 40’s. They’re wonderful parents, & work hard to not let him be spoiled to the point of being ungrateful & unaware of others. He truly is a joy to us! Our son & his girlfriend are in Germany, ( she’s from northern Italy), so any future grandchildren, we won’t be able to be as involved. But if & when they do marry & have children, I have no doubt they’ll have wonderful, loving grandparents in her parents, & we will love them & be as involved as we can be.
I’m keeping your trip in my prayers, that the weather is cooperative! Travel this time of year can be a real challenge! You have a little time for things to settle down , & that helps. I’m with you on the ice & sleet! We had some of that recently, it is really treacherous. That’s unusual for us, but that episode had a lot of “ black ice” on roads, & there was a rash of accidents. We stayed in! Our son & his girlfriend are coming for a visit, getting here on the 19th. So, like you, we are thinking positively that the weather cooperates. It’s been a mild winter for us so far. We can’t wait to see them both.
@Susie-Q... thankyou! I’ve been trying to be sure & add the @ sign, but wasn’t sure I was doing it correctly. But as I look at this entry, your name does not appear in blue. Am I still doing something incorrectly? Any advice would be truly appreciated.
Is there any room on the ODIC bench? I’ve been Really good up to now, but I do think I overdid myself today! First, I did my own grocery shopping for the first time since before my TKR in early October. I really enjoyed myself, & saw that many of the employees I knew were still there & healthy. The store had made a lot of changes, & some very good ones. Had to look for a few things, but, enjoyed exploring. The store was Crazy busy! We have more snow tomorrow & Wednesday, & interestingly enough, people shop before a snow. A Lot. Mine was just weekly shopping. But it felt good, and normal.
After I got home, we went for our walk, there has been ice in many spots for the past few days, so, we didn’t risk it. Tomorrow we’ll walk before the snow comes ( or, maybe as it is just beginning, that’s fun!). Then it will be a while again, as we have some really cold weather following. Then, we made lunch, put up groceries, & I put on a big pot of potato-cheese soup. . I’ve been planning that for sometime, & was determined! So now, here I sit on the heating pad. My husband, as he was cleaning up my mess in the kitchen, asked me.....” do you think you’re gonna wind up in the ODIC corner?” But, we will enjoy that soup for the next several nights. And other than our walk, hunker down & watch that snow. Last week’s was really beautiful.
It’s getting on toward supper time, so I will close this. Hope everyone stays warm & has a lovely evening.....
