~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[dill]

That's good news, Ginger! Hope a fresh pair of eyes and a fresh bunch of brain cells come up with something good for you.

I woke up to a dusting of snow. We have a cold day ahead tomorrow will be brutally cold and windy. I better enjoy today as best I can!

Hope we all have another 24 hours of peace and health.

Ginger, that's great news about the doc changing his mind and agreeing to see you. Hopefully he or she can get to the root of the problem and fix it for good.

Rava, enjoy the visit with your daughter and granddaughter! Do they live far from you?

Looking forward to another 24 hours of freedom...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

That's amazing news Ginger, and even better that he can get you in so quickly.

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, so glad you got the doctor to see you. Fingers crossed! We are nearby our daughter’s house. We saw them for dinner and I doubt we will see them today. They live about 3 hours away. We were glad to see them even if it was brief. They work and my grandaughter works and goes to college full time. They are busy. I have never demanded their time. Sometimes less is more. So we had a nice dinner lots of laughs and hugs and today we are going to a state park with our electric bikes. Tomorrow we drive back home. It’s very windy and cold here today so luckily we have warm sweatshirts and are dressed for the cold florida weather. Hope everyone has a good and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

Rava, that sounds like a lovely visit. Just right.

Pretty quiet around here today but they mostly are these days. I miss exploring so much. Sometimes I wonder if that ship has sailed for me but then, I count my blessings and there are so many! Enough of the pity party!

I'm sorry I've been such a Debbie downer lately. I'll work on that. I'll gratefully take another day of freedom!

Late check in for me. I had volunteering in the morning and didn't have time until now to get on my laptop. Ginger, you needn't apologize for anything! I can easily imagine how hard it is for you to lose your precious ability to get out and be active and explore. And on top of that, to be in pain! No, you are coping well, IMO. I think everyday about how precious mobility is. Do you think you'd do well to get an ebike, like Rava has?

Rava, I hope you and Mr. R had an enjoyable ride.

Waves to Jude, Cowboy and Mulburry.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Jude58]

Ginger, it is hard to accept that our bodies are changing as we get older. I like Dill' suggestion about trying an e bike; do you think that it would work for you?

Glad that you enjoyed your visit with your daughter and granddaughter, sometimes a short visit is best.

I give up! 24 more please...

Sorry you had so much trouble posting, Jude! I wonder what was going on.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, you are not a debbie downer. It’s no fun to be hurting and limited in what you can do. I hope you do consider an e bike. They are small and easy to get around in. Wide tires, etc. If you ever want to look it up it’s radpowerbikes.com. I have an expand 5. It folds up and fits into my car.. we actually put it in a big plastic cement type tray and slide it into our SUV. Anyway, we are home. It was too cold and windy for us to ride so we came home yesterday. The hotel was awful and really changed since we stayed there the last couple of times. Moldy, filthy and didnt even have a blanket on the bed. We were never so glad to get out of there. Definitely not staying there next time. We paid for 2 nights and left after 1. We will just eat the cost of that extra night to be home. Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead. Heading to the gym and trying to make new resolutions to be more positive and less critical of myself and others. 24 more please and thank you.

Not to worry Ginger, that's another reason we're all here, we're good listeners no matter what the problem. I can't imagine having to be so careful all the time would be like.

Glad the visit was good Rava even if it was short, and even shorter because of the poor accommodations. Nothing worse than wasting money on something like a poor hotel room.

Not sure what the problem is Jude, I think some of the others over on the other thread were experiencing the same thing.

Waves to dill, did you get the cold, windy weather you were expecting?

[Ginger999]

Thanks everyone. I'm so glad you are all here. I've thought about an ebike and it may be an option. It wouldn't get me back on the hiking trails but it would make me mobile!

Busy day today. Best get my rear in gear! I'll take another day of freedom
