Hmmm. Sitting down. Do you have a 'hitch in your giddy-up' too Romewhip? I have been posting on here about my bum ankle. So my hubby did a lot of leg work for me last night and today too. (Digging out bowls, putting things in the oven and out, cleaning up, etc.). For those who asked to be kept up on my saga: I went to the new ankle specialist yesterday. She said that the MRI was clearing showing inflammation around many of the small bones in the ankle top of the foot area with contusions still in some of the bones. All of which should have healed by now. Also she said the swelling (which I guess is from the inflammation) and the color of my foot is not great either (circulations OK I guess). SO what she is diagnosing I guess is Chronic Pain Syndrome; my body not realizing that it is not still injured like it was and it is continuing the fight. She put me in a CAST, non-weight bearing, keep the crutches for 2 weeks (guess that could be worse) and on prednisone for 6 days (6 tabs, 5, 4, 3, etc.). Then we take it off and see--- no change and I guess I get to see a pain managment Dr. next! Shuewww~ anybody been there, done that?
As for today's family dinner. (at my sister's) We had turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, home canned green and yellow beans, salad, guachamole/tomato salad, rolls, cornbread, strawberry bavarian, pumpkin and apple pie and brownies. If you couldn't find something you liked-well-go hungry, right! My sister figured the meat right on because there were barely any leftovers. So we left them to her as it was at her house and she bought the meat. My husband and I are going to have some beef tortellini in spaghetti sauce, cornbread and pumpkin pie for supper. In fact, I better go out and throw it together! Hope ya' all had a super nice day however you celebrated it!
