Knee saga

Was at the knee Dr. yesterday for a follow up to my MRI. He stated that it was blurry and he is unable to tell how bad the tear in my meniscus is. Well I assured him it was getting better. Now dumb person that I am, I had had no major pain in a week as we were off for Memorial Day weekend and I didn't stair climb. I went to Heartland Rehab and worked out on the bike, treadmill, ball squats etc. Then I came home and shot hoops with Amanda. This morning I could barely get out of bed. It has been knee hell all day. Now, my MRI that I had a week ago said there was a small tear but it was blurry. The tech came in at one point and told me to stop moving....I WASN'T MOVING. He knew it was blurry and made me a copy of the CD and made a note of the fact that it was blurry and sent it off anyway!!!!!!! So my insurance co. just spent what....???? 5 grand for a faulty MRI???? I am in more pain now than before I went to the Dr. I have been to the knee guy twice now and I can't imagine what this is costing. I called St. Mary and complained about the MRI tech guy. They have not called me back as promised. Bottom line, I will have to have another MRI (ST. Mary paying/???) and back to the knee Dr. and what, ruin my summer with stupid surgery and therapy?????? It is what it is and sometimes it hurts.

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
