Rare brillohead Posted August 27, 2022 #69104 Share Posted August 27, 2022 @Luckynana, I want to reiterate what @Ocean Boy said about diabetes management. With the continuous glucose monitors that sync up with an app, insulin pumps, and long- and short-acting insulins, diabetes is so much more manageable than it was even ten years ago. I'm sending positive thoughts your grandson's way! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling so badly for our daughter to be going through with this with Ryan, also. We haven't heard anything more since they were being transferred in the ambulance. How is your visit with your daughter and grandchildren? Hopefully the rain hasn't prevented you all from doing whatever your plans were? How is your PT going?? I "graduated" from my PT yesterday, after going 3x a week for the past 2 months. They've really helped me a lot, and I am grateful for that. Maryann, we're having the best time with our daughter and grandkids; bowling, Andretti Go Kart and games twice (I had to stay home for that one). Kids swam at our complex pool almost daily. Rain luckily was not a factor. One of my neighbors had her grandkids over one day and the kids had the best time. We decided to relax tomorrow, probably hang out at the pool with new friends, weather permitting and Sunday, is the Ft. Worth zoo. Monday they go home. waaaaaaaa...sniff, sniff. My therapy is coming along, although I call it torture! I graduated to walking with a cane but I still experience lots of pain. I'm still upset my surgeon would not refill my pain pills. The best he could do was prescribe tylenol w/codeine and an anti-inflammatory. Hardly helps. So glad you graduated from your PT. Thank you for asking about mine. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted August 27, 2022 #69112 Share Posted August 27, 2022 After a wet start this morning, it turned out to be a nice Saturday in Sydney, particularly in the afternoon. Caught the ferry from Milsons Point to Circular Quay with the intention to visit the Sydney Pylon lookout but it closes at 2pm in winter. Passed by the Sydney YHA - The Rocks, discovered it has an archeological site on it’s lower level and adjacent to it. The foyer looks nice and it has a rooftop that has spectacular view of the harbour. Speaking of rooftop views, after checking out the lower levels of Sydney YHA (The Rocks), wandered down to the Museum of Contemporary Art and had afternoon tea at the MCA rooftop cafe - very nice individual Persian love cake and hot drinks , then wandered the galleries of the lower levels which was enjoyable before catching the ferry back to Milsons Point, walking around to Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden and heading home. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that most doctors would also. The opioid problem is real and serious in this country and can affect anyone. I'm sure you know this better than most of us. Bonnie - I hope you find a good way to manage your pain. This article talks about the risk of opioid addiction increasing after just 5 days of prescribed use. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring is around the corner and I appear to have recovered from the worst of the vertigo that had prevented me from going anywhere much in the last couple of months, so fingers crossed for more walks & a cruise over summer.

Since the majority of us are North American, I think we like to see other places, whether it’s England, Israel or Australia. Glad that the vertigo is resolving. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been following this thread of late but this mention of vertigo caught my eye. Hoping it's not in reference to meniere's disease (which I have and so have bouts of mild to severe vertigo unpredictably). So...whatever the situation, hope it goes away and never returns. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really tough about 2 and half years just before Covid lost my Mom, my Dad about about 9 months before that. Also lost my Father-in-law between when my Dad and Mom passed. It was a lot to handle in such a short time. My Dad loved gardening too, I think that is where I got my green thumb from. 🙂 Wow I'm so sorry that you had to deal with those loses so close.

What kind of Martini did you have? Gin or Vodka based? 12 hours ago, Sunshine3601 said: What is a BBC?

Thank you for asking about mine. Hang in there. I know it's tough. I have experiencing more pain than usual. I think I may be overdoing the exercising. I going to give my knee a day of rest. It's frustrating as I don't seem to be improving like I would like. I am sure you can relate. Hang in there I guess it just takes time for all of us. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted August 27, 2022 #69125 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Up in Boston today for the Feast of St. Anthony in the Italian North End. Between food and drinks, by the end of the day I might feel the same as when I'm on a cruise. This city is always fun to visit. Maybe some pictures later for those who have never had the chance to visit this awesome city. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
