I'd might also add "Lenny, please don't pick the Yankees to win either" 😉😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 12, 2022 #74204 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I found a couple of straw bales today. Much better the stuff I got last time. Right after laying it in the raised beds a storm rolled in. YES RAIN! I really don't remember the last time it rained. Now I need to give my garlic a fertilization soak and get it planted by tomorrow evening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game might not start on time and may be delayed once it starts. Tough to know what to do. They may start Noah Syndergaard or Kyle Gibson, I sure hope it's not Gibson, he has been horrible down the stretch. Then bring in Zack Wheeler to close the game out if it looks like there is a long break in the weather later in the game. So much for pitchers having the advantage at todays 4:35pm start time because of shadows............Most likely no sun to create shadows. Phillies surely want to play this game since they are on a roll. The Braves are probably hoping for a rain out and not play again until tomorrow. Worse thing they can do is start the game, then go into a rain delay after a few innings, espically if the starting pitcher is on a roll. Looks like it's raining right now but should end by 7 pm, according to Wunderground. Yankees have the same issue. For some reason, they are off today & play tomorrow. It's supposed to rain all day in NY tomorrow. Wish they could move the game forward a day as it's a beautiful, 70 degree sunny day right now. Too bad TV networks control the baseball schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept on telling him that I was in excrutiating pain even sitting in his office .He asked if I was depressed and I said that I was.I told him that at home I am screaming nearly all day because of the pain.He just sat there without an expression. I told him that I am depressed because I cannot remember simple things like addition and subtraction ,that I was an athlete when I was young and now I cannot walk more than 3 feet. Today I called a guy who is in my Parkinson’s Support Group ,he recommended one of his doctors.I am going to call one of my nieces who is an MD ,but I cannot do that till Sunday. I'm glad you are seeking a second opinion. Maybe the next doctor can recommend a pain management specialist as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted October 12, 2022 #74207 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Well we did it. Booked the Allure out of Galveston for next June 11, 2023 It is actually the cheapest fare we ever paid. Not mentioning we got to use our free Junior suite casino voucher and upgraded to a CLS. And we still cannot believe how little it cost. Also Booked our airfare. Which is also down Southwest was the cheapest but we do not use them Got a non-stop Cleveland to Houston. Now debating on which transportation to use to Galveston. Take care Thanks for all the insight and help and also any more hints greatly appreciated. Be safe 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s really too bad that they didn’t work for you. After various trials we found that a combination of the regular Sinemet and Sinemet extended release worked well up until about six weeks ago when she started to decline more rapidly. But my mom never had the issues with tremors with her Parkinson’s, her was always issues with her gait and balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted October 12, 2022 #74214 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) First time we went to Bermuda we took the boat to Hamilton, walked around a bit. For the trip back to Kings Wharf we took the bus. It was about an hour and we saw a lot of the Island. It was like an inexpensive tour!

I'm glad you aren't giving up on other doctors. I hate to get personal and you don't have to answer but often you posted you're always in extreme pain. May I ask where your pain is? Nobody should have to live with excruciating pain especially sitting in a doctor office. The doctor ended things by walking down the hall and opening the door for us to go to the checkout desk. My pain began in 2009 in the lower back.I had spine surgery in April 2010 I have had 37 falls adding pain to my body.Currently my pain is in my entire back ,both legs and feet.I have a burning sensation constantly in my toes I have constant numbness in both feet at the same time and a sensation of falling.I have had 9 epidurals ,the last two did not work,two experimental surgical procedures ,acupuncture and I have been to 12 physical therapists.My most recent PT was earlier this year from a wonderful guy who was born in Israel,studied PT in Israel and Holland as well as the US . He tried his very best but could not help me.I have been to numerous Neurologists,Neurosurgeons and Orthopedic Surgeons. The only place I can be without pain in on my bed where I am when I post on CC.I really feel bad for Toby because she spends so much time taking care of me instead of going out and enjoying things. Last night she played mah jong and one of my daughters stayed here with me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I developed pain,, I mean extreme pain in that area. I could only hobble, not walk. I was thrilled at the results; no fracture but lots of inflammation. So, back to wearing the dreaded boot while walking and ice the area when I don't walk. Next week is a follow up podiatrist visit to see what will be next. ER doc said it's common with post foot surgical patients when they attempt to walk after being non weight bearing for 6 weeks as I was. BTW the ER doc never looked or touched my foot. I only took my shoe off for the xrays and put it back on immediately after. I guess the xrays told the whole picture. No more torture PT sessions until after the Podiatrist follow up visit. I hope you are doing better and in less pain ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted an elaborate reply and it went poof. Short version, From Hobby we paid $49 for Uber to our hotel. Galveston Express (shuttle service)is between $30-35 to from Hobby(HOU). $35-40 to from Bush (IAH). Prefer Uber to shuttle do to direct routing, IE time saved.

However, if you want to go to Capri, or Vesuvius, or Pompei, each is a whole day. There is still no time to adaquatrly see all of them and Naples. Ever seen the movie "If Its Tuesday It Must Be Belgium"? That is what a European cruise reminds me of. I saw that movie when it came out in 1969.That title has been quoted so many times since.
