Whew- what a day...

and I am so glad it's almost over...
helped with supper tonight...
we had breakfast for a change...
scrambled eggs, hash browns, gravy, biscuits and sausage...
I have a thing for black pepper in my eggs, gravy and potatoes...
not real smart...
it also makes me sneeze...
did that about 3 times...
almost peed my pants...

Diana, it's not a bowl cut...
maybe a dome...
but not quite a bowl...
Doug just cut it straight across the back so it's shoulder length now...
long enough I can still get it up in a pony tail...
my hair is very thick and the weight pulls my neck out of place if it gets too long...
so over 2 inches came off today and it feels great!
it's bouncy again, though, I haven't tried it out except for when I sneezed...

the pain is down to a dull roar...
that I can handle...
not sure if I will be able to get out of bed in the morning...
but Craig is here if I need a push...

I love my heating pad...
bought it last fall from Walmart...
it has heat and massage both...
my first one like it and if you don't have one...
get one...
it shuts itself off in an  hour, so I can go to sleep with it on without waking up hours later burnt somewhere...
yeah, I have done that before...
I know your not supposed to...
what can I say?

I took such a long shower today...
what a great invention...
so many things to be thankful for that we take for granted...

the vertabra that was out today is the one that I ruptured about 12 years ago...
I don't usually have this much pain with it...
I have it back in for now...
hope it stays there or goes out the other way next time...
Craig took very good care of me today...
even though he snickered when I flinched in pain...
little bugger...

a little under the weather today...

got up this morning with a pinched nerve under my shoulder blade...
heating pad, hot shower and massage day...
Doug came up and he cut my hair for me...
Craig and I sat out on the benches on the porch for a little while...
we started new PT exercises yesterday, working on the upper body...
and I think they got the best of me...
went through them slowly today trying to get it all worked out...
it is better than it was this morning...
but it hurts to type or sit here...
so I will catch up with you later...
keep Marydon's husband, Harold, in your prayers today...
I haven't heard how he did this morning...
check Blushing Rose blog for more details...

I may be back on a little tonight...
or it may be tomorrow...
