I think about you and wonder how it's going. Those periods of grief probably will hit you intermittently for some time. My Aunt Betty lost her husband of 50 years four years ago and still has those times, most commonly around birthdays, holidays and such, but can happen at other times. They do come less frequently and with less intensity and duration over time. But I think you handled it as well as it can be done. Your loss is still pretty recent.Last night was kinda rough, for some reason I started thinking about my wife just as I went to bed, reliving her passing. I finally did get to sleep about an hour later after focusing in on her alive and our happy shared times together and the fact that she is now in a much better place.
I had to get up early, landscaping crew came by to remove the crepe myrtle bush that was on top of my main waste line with roots growing into the waste line. They took the bush out and poured a concentrated root killer over the area, hopefully that will fix the problem.
Sounds good. The rehab is so very important with that knee so hang in there. Hombre is struggling whether to go through a hip replacement--can't decide if the pain is bad enough to go through the surgery and rehab.The physical therapist finally caught me near a phone this afternoon. Yes, it hurt, but a few minutes later my new knee and old leg felt better, like a team again. Hopefully we will be able to get up and down the stairs like normal people who never had RA.
It's a real problem I know and we shouldn't laugh. But forgive me I did. That's something you really REALLY don't want to ask your hubby to do for you.Not my dominate hand, but has been for a few years since my right wrist is shot to hell with RA. So..I use my left one now. Or rather..did. I'm having a really hard time wiping my butt.Ouch! That sounds definitely worse than my carpal tunnel surgery which I am still healing from almost two months later. And yes, being one handed is a pain especially when it's the dominant hand you can't use.Well.....I've been MIA due to depression, then I had surgery on my left hand last week. Big ol gangleon cyst on the outside of my wrist and it was crawling up towards my pinky and ring finger. Surgeon said he had to cut it out..stalk and all. Down to the bone. I think he cut a few nerves while he was at it cuz my thumb is still numb and the top of my hand is numb as well. Took 28 hours for my arm to work again. They did a block on it. Don't know why, cuz they knocked me out to do the surgery so why put my arm to sleep as well for so damn long? Anyway..I go see him for follow up on the 11th. Hopefully my nerves will mend themselves and I will get my hand back. Being one handed is a pain in the butt. Er...in the hand.
Prayers up for your speedy recovery.
If hombre is having trouble with wishing he had his life back from too much pain, that's when it's time to get the hip replaced. Prayers up for eliminating egregious pain that hurts both of you to get a good resolution that will put him back doing the things he used to do when pain wasn't there.Sounds good. The rehab is so very important with that knee so hang in there. Hombre is struggling whether to go through a hip replacement--can't decide if the pain is bad enough to go through the surgery and rehab.The physical therapist finally caught me near a phone this afternoon. Yes, it hurt, but a few minutes later my new knee and old leg felt better, like a team again. Hopefully we will be able to get up and down the stairs like normal people who never had RA.

well hopefully he has changed his ways sense then,I sure hope so,anyways sorry about going off on him,you being friends with him and all,wont happen again. Its time for me to get past my arguments with him from the past and let it go ,that was a long time ago.That's simply not true LA RAM FAN. I've known Ollie for years now and he's as good a citizen and straight arrow as any person on Earth. And the Coffee Shop is not the place to air grievances about other people on USMB or discuss politics please. It was established as a refuge from all that and for 11 years now it has served that purpose very well. Thanks for understanding.Hope thst still holds when I say this,I seldom came here over the years cause gomer Pyle Ollie was here that you got done talking about,whether you realise it or not he is a shill from Langley,paid to come here and troll by his boss.he defends the governments version of events of corruption and atrocity’s the CIA commits against other countries no matter how absurd the governments version of events are.the media is just a tool for the government,they don’t do any investigating.they only report what they want you to hear,he ignores evidence that the government is behind these events and Their boogeyman they say is behind it is just a patsy. When the REAL culprit is none other than the CIA,it’s them always starting wars with other countries,they are a terrorist organization that makes the third Reich look like a bunch of choir boys.Glad to see you drop by Foxfyre's wonderful USMB coffee lounge, LA RAM FAN.I am a fellow Kansan,,when you were there,did you ever take in a Royals game by chance?I remember when I was in Phoenix that 90 degrees didn't feel all that bad in the dry air.Kinda like when I lived in Northern Virginia. The humidity levels would get up to nearly the temperature levels. At least here in the southwest when it hits a hundred + the humidity levels are usually below 35%.Tomorrow is supposed to be 99 and humid. Just last week we had the 40's.Lot of 90s up there. It's been pleasant in the great Piney Woods region of the Lone Star State with...<drumroll>...more rain.Record heat in the north this weekend, and grossly humid...

sweeeet .. LA RAM FAN is here.. Hello
.
I'm a fair weather sports fan only because my chosen teams usually lose..
Best Sport .. Ice Hockey .. Go Vegas..
.
Nope. Still here in this horrible place. This is the NOISIEST town I have ever had the misfortune to be in. It's louder than bigger cities. Non stop noise. And I really don't much care for the residents. Bunch of gossipy old hens. I have one friend, non smoker, that lives across the hall. At least she keeps me semi sane. I'm hoping by this time next year...I will finally be out of this place and either further north or back in Paradise, which is rebuilding and I am still on their list. The manager said I would be one of the first ones called once the property is rebuilt and ready for occupancy.Wow Gracie. I am not subject to depression as a rule, but had a reactive depression when I was going through a prolonged crappy situation years ago and thus know what it feels like. And telling oneself to 'snap out of it' isn't very helpful either. Didn't realize you were going through the other issue though, and will include that on the vigil list along with my prayers for a speedy recovery.Well.....I've been MIA due to depression, then I had surgery on my left hand last week. Big ol gangleon cyst on the outside of my wrist and it was crawling up towards my pinky and ring finger. Surgeon said he had to cut it out..stalk and all. Down to the bone. I think he cut a few nerves while he was at it cuz my thumb is still numb and the top of my hand is numb as well. Took 28 hours for my arm to work again. They did a block on it. Don't know why, cuz they knocked me out to do the surgery so why put my arm to sleep as well for so damn long? Anyway..I go see him for follow up on the 11th. Hopefully my nerves will mend themselves and I will get my hand back. Being one handed is a pain in the butt. Er...in the hand.
Did you get moved out of the facility or is that still pending?
Honestly, I can now go weeks without tearing up or getting really down though I know I'm still fighting a mild depression. There are still times I have to force myself to get things done especially if I have to go out. But each day is a new day and I have to keep truckin' ahead and with God's grace I'll overcome the loss and not let it overcome me.I think about you and wonder how it's going. Those periods of grief probably will hit you intermittently for some time. My Aunt Betty lost her husband of 50 years four years ago and still has those times, most commonly around birthdays, holidays and such, but can happen at other times. They do come less frequently and with less intensity and duration over time. But I think you handled it as well as it can be done.
