Hi Susan, kidney's too?

Rockabilly

Oh, and I forgot a couple of things. One is I lost 63 pounds and personally I think it was due to terrible, awful hospital food. The other thing is I lost a lot of my hair and my Primary Care Doctor said it was due to stress. I hope it grows back. Well, one more thing. I think hospitals should prepa...

Rockabilly

Rockabilly! I was thinking about you jsut the other day and wondering how you were getting on! How are you? Thank you so much for asking, Mountaineer. I am semi-okay right now. The first of the year I had surgery for spinal stenosis and it appeared to go well. I was out mowing this spring when I fe...

Rockabilly

When life is passing you by. Like all the new phrases I have no ideal what they mean and the young people with all their energy and outspokeness. Okay so when I was a kid we walked uphill in the snow to school......okay not really, but oh so different than when kids were more sedate. I mean who care...

Rockabilly

I think you should give it a great deal of thought and then do what your heart tells you. Being 70 has opened you to health problems you never knew existed. Probably like me you wonder where the time goes. You ask "How did this happen?" So you're at the point in your life that it is more a...

Rockabilly

I'm so sorry. I still miss my dog a lot. How do people get on with life? Its like MY DOG JUST DIED....!!! Sending you all the best to you and your mom Somehow you just do and I'm a fine one to talk. I haven't posted this before, but my lab mix, Noel, passed away in the hospital last October. It was...

Rockabilly

A good thing in life that surprises me is how much I love Miss A. Sometimes I cry when I think how she has helped me get past roadblocks and tough times. And how she has built my confidence, both in the saddle and out of it. Yesterday I was in the left turn lane when some Ahole zooms from behind me...

Rockabilly

And the passage of time accelerates as one gets older... One thing that constantly surprises me is that I'm still so naive about how flaky so many people are. I was brought up that if you told someone you were going to do something, you did it, when you said you were going to do it, even if it did ...

Rockabilly

For me it's how fast time passes. Well, it seems like yesterday I was a riding fool. Really, has that much time passed? Right now I am barely able to walk and get around. To me, right now 35 years ago practically seems like yesterday.

Rockabilly

I am finally able to write a bit about my Spinal Stenosis journey. It started last June with my left leg burning. It burned like a bad sun burn and I would put ice packs on it to relieve the burning. I did go to my doctor and he said it was a pinched nerve. I got a prescripton for Gabapentin and aft...

Rockabilly

Oh, I am so very sorry. I know so well how you feel. I know that doesn't help you with your grief, but I understand what you're going through.

Rockabilly

That just makes my day! Bless her sweet heart.

Rockabilly

I'm sorry for this situation because I know exactly how you feel. I do hope she survives.

Rockabilly

I hope she's better already.

Rockabilly

You know you were not over reacting.

Rockabilly

Update?

Rockabilly

Also, I don't need glasses at all or contact lens.

Rockabilly

Of course insurance doesn't cover the corrective lens so I have out of pocket costs but it's totally worth it. [/quote]

It is totally worth it. I had the surgery in August and it was not a big deal. And no, your eyes and your teeth are not part of your body according to insurance and medicare.

Rockabilly

In my perusing I have come upon a site named "The Misfits Market" and what they do is rescue organic produce and send it to you once a month, with a fee of course. It looks quite interesting to me, but I don't like the idea of them capturing my card and I'm wondering if any of y'all have t...

Rockabilly

They are all beautiful and obviously well loved. I love all the pictures except the ones of horses laying down. Just a personal and odd thing of mine. How does one post pictures here? I've never figured that out. (Hey, to my dear friend, Madi. If you maybe wondered where I was on Facebook they kicke...

Rockabilly

And how is Gracie feeling today?

Rockabilly

Oh My God, bless your heart. $50.00 for a duck, well I would do it too. That duck looks sad. I have raised ducks for many years now and I've never thought of mine like in this situation. If for some reason I don't get over and feed them when they think I should well, they come looking for me in a gr...

Rockabilly

Oh that's sad and terrible. I feel really bad for her and hope she recovers well. The thing about getting older that only older people know is that time begins to fly on wings.

Rockabilly

Just go with how you feel. Live it. Things will change when they need to and you will recognize it.

Rockabilly

Oh, Paula how truly impressive.

That's great! Did you get one with an animal topper? Basil is my favorite color. I have two. One with a Rooster topper and one with a pig.

Rockabilly

I've just read all of these intros/updates. I was very sad to learn that LaurieB passed away. It seems that many of us have had glorious "ups" and some devastating "downs", but we're all still here, one foot in front of the other. Sometimes at a run, sometimes at a walk, and som...

Rockabilly

It will just be my husband and myself. I am extremely high risk and have only been off the farm to go to the doctor. We live on 100 acres so we have no one close to us and my husband will not let me do the shopping.

Rockabilly

Yes, you should be very proud of yourself. Retraining one's self is almost an impossible task.

Rockabilly

I remember each and every one of you! Goldhorse, it’s going to be a strange Thanksgiving so matter what we do, I think. I hope we can each find some joy and make the most of it and hope we’re back to normal next year. Rockabilly!!!! I wondered why you weren’t posting on FB. That’s a bummer that you...

Hello dear Betsy! So good to see you here and an update on Khodi.

(I've been kicked off Facebook since May. A lightning storm destroyed my old computer. When I got a new one and tried to log back on Facebook was sure I was trying ti impersonate me, I guess. Anyway they kicked me off)

For several days there has been a dried leaf in the hall just inside my front door. Yes, I just left it there. Today I had to get a package from the front porch. Guess what. The leaf isn’t a leaf. It’s dried cat puke. :shock: :lol: Paula! That is so funny. Maybe you need to get your eyes fixed like...

Rockabilly

I have not gone through this particular crisis, but what I want to say is what a group of brave, rezilient women you are. It just overwhelms me for you to share your experience. We want each other to do well and we support each other. Thank You for sharing your experiences. You never know how many p...

Rockabilly

Your heart saw him better than your eyes ever could. ❤️ Thank You all so much. Thank You, Kim. You know I have finally (I think) adjusted to Billy's passing. I think I am at peace with it or I have accepted it . I don't know which it is right now. I think about him every day and I miss him so much....

She should have been.

It makes me sad that I couldn't see Billy with my new eyes. Like some of you I had no idea the difference it would make. Yesterday I went for my second eye surgery on my left eye. I went for my post-op appointment this morning and what I want to say is that on the way to the appointment the trees ca...

Rockabilly

I know you probably aren't supposed to be reading yet, but I want you to know I thought about you yesterday, hoping things went smoothly, and that you'll be back here soon to let us know. Thank You, Kathy and Paula. I'm sitting here typing without glasses. Just my right eye had cataract surgery and...

Rockabilly

Yes, of course I'll let you know how it goes. Right now what I think is it's better to do it sooner rather than later when you might have other health issues the doctors have to work with and around like me. Plus working with your doctors about your medication.

Rockabilly

I'm having cataract surgery next Wednesday. I am having my right eye done and the next week I am having my left eye done. The doctor is using the PanOptix lens. This means it's cataract surgery, but also vision correction. My vision is not that good right now, but with these lens I will be able to s...

Given your description, I'd suspect something ridiculously high. My last vet bill was a surprisingly low amount, as they only charged for a "short" consult and didn't charge for the diagnostic ultrasound. To be fair, it confirmed no further treatment options and their subsequent visit was...

Rockabilly

I love it that we have all these loving memories and are keeping them close to us.

Rockabilly

She makes you want to learn what she knows, doesn't she?

Rockabilly

Some years ago I discovered an orphan pup roaming my fields starving to death. It took a long while before we were friends. About 3 years ago she had surgery and when she came home she would not eat. I couldn't bear it so I started feeding her by hand. We graduated to the dish, but only with me hold...

Rockabilly

No. You just have trouble getting over the pain. My dear friend died unexpectedly of a ruptured colon. in February I still have him in my contacts and I still look for him everyday. Llife is not the same wiithout him. We are grieving.

Rockabilly

I just realized it is an introvert's world right now. We aren't concerned with social distancing. It's our thing. Wearing a mask? Well yes, we don't have to fake smile when we don't want to. Staying at home and reading a book? We'd rather do that than going out with the exception of the barn.We do l...

I remember taking lessons with Jim Graham in the middle of a very hot humid summer in Alabama with my dear Rockabilly. Yes, we were both younger and we would take a break, but you had to be tough to ride with Jim so we just did it. I cooled Billy afterward with a nice cool bath. Somehow we survived....

Rockabilly

Well, you make adjustments. I'm in Middle Tennessee and we experience the kind of weather you're talking about. Take lots of breaks. Stay inside the air-conditioned house and know you have to go through it when you shop. I think most of all you just accept it. Now I wonder how people stand all that ...

Rockabilly

Your horse is beautiful and in reading what you wrote it all sounds kind of light hearted, but I know that can't be true. I think you're just trying to make the best of a tragic situation. Thinking of you.

Rockabilly

Hey Snork what does WITPE mean? Also just to let you know I've been kicked off Facebook. Lightning struck my old computer and I had to get a new one and trying to get back on Facebook is impossible.
