Good morning @BryWisteria! Congratulations to @christina4 & @Rowan! Great job! Glad to hear that you had a great first week @Liisa.

I donā€™t have much going on this week. I do have PT & OT on Wednesday but that is about it. I know at some point I pick up my car from the shop. Iā€™m driving a rental with Connecticut plates so my hometown is unhappy that there is a tourist around town during Covid. Itā€™s a rental! I live here! Anyway, it should be a good day & week for me. I donā€™t have much to do this week on any given day. Even today, I am just picking up the comforter from the cleaners. :rofl:

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I was at home & puttered & napped. It was a pretty quiet weekend for me.

Welcome, to all the new members!
Shout out to @christina4 Congrats!
Thank you to @BryWisteria for the shout-out too,:grin:.
This week I donā€™t have too much planned, just making sure to have everything for my daughterā€™s wisdom teeth surgery on the 20th.
Last night was interesting, I had a great New Moon! I was so filled with energy I was up until 4:30 this morning.
Hope everyone has a great Monday and rest of the week.
Blessed Be,

Congrats to @christina4 and @Rowan for the shout-out! Good job you two! And @Liisa Iā€™m very glad to hear youā€™re feeling right at home. You up to anything fun this week?

@Susurrus I hope you get your car back soon, I donā€™t want you to have any trouble. Glad your PT and OT seem to be helping you out!

@Rowan it sounds as if you had an energetic new moon, how great for you! Except for the whole not sleeping thing, that would not be fun. LOL. Get some rest sweetie!

As for me, I went to the leg doctor today. One leg is healed but the other is trying to get infected again. So they took a culture of it and Iā€™m back on antibiotics. Fun fun. Hopefully, weā€™ve got this before the infection gets worse and it gets nipped in the bud right away. Weā€™ll see.

Not much going on for me this week besides that. I hope everyone had a good weekend! @BryWisteria did you get up to anything special this weekend?

I hope the antibiotics work to nip it, that would be ideal @Amethyst

Thank you! I do still have to tape my hand or wear my splint sometimes but itā€™s not as bad as it once was. Iā€™ve also learned where the limit is for range of motion with that hand. The OT appointment I have on Wed is my last one, itā€™s the re-evaluation of how I have progressed then I wonā€™t be back until next year. PT I just have 3 more appointments. Then the same thing, nothing until 2022.

Thanks, @Susurrus! I hope it does. Sheā€™s got me taking the leftovers of one of my old meds till she knows which antibiotic I need. I had four different bottles Iā€™d been halfway through when sheā€™d switch me so I had plenty for her to choose from. LOL.

So glad youā€™re almost overdoing PT and OT. Thatā€™s great! Unless youā€™re like me and forget to do your exercises without someone pushing you. Hee!

Welcome all you new members! I hope you have a fine time in the coven. I hope everyone has a blessed week. :slight_smile:

The exercises arenā€™t that bad, I can do them as Iā€™m doing my stuff around the house. Iā€™ve been better about wearing my braces too. So that helps with the stuff I do when I go in, keeps everything learning what they are supposed to be doing, not what they want to do. :rofl:

The kids are still on holiday and the weather has turned nicer again so weā€™ll probably be getting on with cutting the grass and some weeding and see if we can get a day at the beach near us :slight_smile: Iā€™ve got caught the creative bug from this weekā€™s challenge as well so ill be doing more work on my BOM <3

3 Likes

Thatā€™s good! Donā€™t want your joints wandering about without you! Glad youā€™re doing better!

Sounds like a nice time to go to the beach, before it gets too crowded! Good luck with your BOM!

Itā€™s a tiny beach next to the river near my house so it thankfully doesnā€™t get too busy :slight_smile: Happy Tuesday everyone :slight_smile: <3 Blessed Be <3

So glad youā€™ve enjoyed your first week, @Liisa- we are very blessed to have you here in the forums! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

A good morning to you too, @Susurrus! :blush: Sorry about the car confusion- hopefully the neighbors will figure out itā€™s all okay soon :oncoming_automobile:

It is well-deserved, @Rowan, thanks again for all the warmth you bring! :hearts: Wishing your daughter the best of luck with her wisdom teeth surgery :pray::tooth: And yikes- glad you enjoyed the New Moon, but I hope you were able to catch some good sleep! :sleeping:

Uh-oh, sorry to hear about your leg troubles @Amethyst. Good for you for going in right away to get it taken care of- I hope it is resolved and back to full health asap! :raised_hands:

Wishing you a blessed week as well, @colin! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Youā€™re sweet for asking, @Amethyst :blush: Itā€™s pretty quiet around here, but my partner and I did get a breath of fresh air at a botanic garden not too far away from where we live! Lots of things are closed due to the lockdown, but luckily places like parks and gardens still seem to be open and safe to visit.

Not too many plants blooming yet, so the highlight of the trip was some very cute guinea pigs nibbling on their lunch :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Sounds nice @Liisa! Have some fun for me!

Thanks, love! Iā€™m going to get this leg healed if I have to drag it to healing kicking and screaming! LOL.

OMG! ~SQUEE~ Lookit the little guinea pigs! Thatā€™s so cute! Thanks for sharing! At least you got out of the house and did something cool. Thatā€™s great!
