Winter is here


Boy have I been sick. Took a trip to Niagra Falls over Labor day on the motorcycle. Came back and had terrible pain in my back. It turned out to be not one but 3 kidney stones. One did come out but I am still stuck toting 1 around in each kidney. After weeks of testing they put me on a special diet of what I cannot eat anymore. Chocolate and Tea being the main ones. Thats bad. I love both. Then on to the next big health issue. I had a total Hystromecty Oct 15. I am just now getting back on my feet moving around. But still no heavy lifting or staying up long walking. It took alot out of me- like 8 lbs!! And if not for the incision, I feel wonderful. What pain I was in for years before that. You get used to the pain then when you don't have it, you just cannot believe how it got that bad. So, Our first big snow came Nov 20. We got about 8" and its been snowing ever since. At night it got down to 15 to 20 each night. Winter jumped straight into January cold and snow. I hate it, I hate snow and cold. I cannot be outside , cannot ride my motorcycle or be at the fish pond or in the garden. We really need to relocate south. I am working slowly on quilting projects that needed finished up. Pictures coming later.
