My "whine moment today." What's yours?

Llama ,
Glad they recommend wound care clinic . Best idea . The mattress topper sounds great too . They also have gel pads you can buy for your chair during the day .

Llama - so glad you got some good advice at the ER and that it isn't as bad as you thought - and - that you were able to sleep!

Ali: Thank you.

Hi Llama, I hope that advice works to solve your problem. A 3" gel mattress topper sounds pretty darn cushy and nice. Getting specialized wound care sounds good to ensure you recover fully. I've never experienced lingering pressure wounds or cellulitis, etc., but I know skin breakdown can be stubborn to treat. Feel better and heal up fast.

Send, Need, Golden, Way and Beatty: Thank you. I was able to sleep. We were seen quickly at the hospital and they said it wasn't that bad (looked like it to us). Continue A & D ointment, wear thicker bandage, see wound care clinic and add 3" gel topper to mattress.

Healing for you, Llama !

Llama,

Hoping that you got some sleep and will find relief and healing for your sore soon. Hugs!

Ouch, Llama. Prayers for healing and for sleep. Take care!

Llama, best healing wishes to you.

Barb, that is great news!

Llama,

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I hope you got some sleep and your wound heals quickly .

DH is taking me to the hospital tomorrow for a pressure sore on my buttocks. Please pray that I can sleep as I have little sleep in the last 48 hours. Thank you.

Barb,

So happy to hear this news about your husband. I certainly hope that the worst is behind him and that you and your husband will not have any more trips to the hospital any time soon.

Barb - so glad his healing is progressing well. You both have been through a rough time. Hopefully it is over now for at least this year. (((((hugs))))

My DH's stent came out today!

Followup CT scan to check up on his kidneys in a month. Ordered in Chinese food tonight to celebrate.

Thanks to all of you for your hugs, support and prayers during the last couple of weeks.

Way,

My husband says that the weathermen have the only job where they can be wrong 50 percent of the time and not lose their jobs! 😝

Y’all are getting slammed with snow! It’s almost spring!

way: You're welcome.

The weather forecasters got it wrong again . Got twice as much snow as they predicted . 🙄🙄. I want their job , they can be wrong everyday and it’s ok . 😂

Thanks
Beatty
Llama
Golden.

Also , dirty slush is gross .

Way hope you feel better soon. I fighting a sore throat/sinus issues now too. I'm with you on snow mold. Gets me every year and if I rake the lawn I can't breathe.

Beatty thx i wasn't bad. Hope kitty gets lost

Need - snow isn't pretty when it melts and turns to slush.

way: Feel better soon.

Way,

We get our fair share of rainfall too. I don’t like cold weather or rain! Especially, when it rains during jazz fest.

I like plants in pots. I have potted plants on the porch and the patio.

At least, snow is pretty! I’m sure that you’re sick of it though.

I am with you about the beach. I love everything about the beach except for hurricanes! My dad grew up in Florida.

We went to the beach every summer when we were kids. We took our kids throughout their childhood. We still go every so often.

Thanks, Beatty!

That’s strange that you get the kitty when you try to change it. Have you thought about contacting AgingCare to see if they can fix the problem?

Well wishes Way!
May the cleaning be easy Golden!

My whine is I am still stuck with my New Year's Eve firework avatar. Get the whoops cat trying to change it.. nevermind. I am happy to admire your sweet bird Need!

Need,
Thanks ,
We’ve had a decent amount of snowstorms this year . There is still a few inches in the back yard . It melts more in front where it gets more sun especially next to the driveway . That’s where the wet grass , dirt, mold will get me when I go to shovel and I disturb that area again . Plus there are big piles the plows make along the curbs. Shopping centers have big piles still but they are melting . I’m so over winter , even though I know a wet spring won’t be much better allergy wise . I’ve stopped digging in the dirt to plant flowers a few years now . I just have a few planters and flower pots .
I do much better in a sandy beach area ( where I grew up ) than inland like I am now . 🥺

Way,

So much snow! I can’t imagine what that is like year after year.

We got caught in a snow blizzard driving to Vail in the spring. Ski season had ended and a freak snowstorm blew into town.

My husband had never driven in a snowstorm before. He was so happy when we arrived at our hotel.

I hope you feel better soon, Way.

I have sinusitis from a cold I caught last week and it has my asthma giving me trouble especially at night . Plus the ground is so wet from the 8 inches of snow that just melted . Wet grass , wet dirt , mold , just does me in .

More SNOW tonight . More shoveling . More melting . Just what I need. That groundhog was
wrong . Spring is not coming early . 😭😭😭

On my!!! Spilt some liquid on the top shelf of the fridge which is a large piece of glass fitted (not very securely) into a plastic frame. Started moving things to mop up and the glass came partly out of the frame and the front of it fell forward. So the contents slide forward fortunately mostly held in place by the frame. The liquid, of course, dripped everywhere and small containers fell out onto the floor.

So I have a nice clean up job to do.

The bright side is that nothing was broken, I am discarding a few things that have been around too long for my liking, and I will never buy extra yogurt again!!! It takes up too much space.

Now to wrestle with that shelf and get the glass back in again, more securely I hope. Wish R was here!!! He will be soon but not soon enough for this. ☹

Ana - we badly need it here too for the livestock and the land. We may have another year of bad forest fires if we don't get more precipitation.

We need snow! During dry winters I worry that our wells will run dry. And a fast melt, before the ground has thawed, means the water runs off, instead of soaking into the aquifer. 1” fell yesterday and we’re to get 2-4” tomorrow.
