Happy Friday to you and thanks for dropping in today!
I don't have (again) any 'pretty' photos to share, but I did snap a few things this week that I will post here today, linking up with Friday Foto Friends over at Deb's Breathing In Grace.
This is Miss Maddi. She is a co-worker's new puppy.
Maddi is SO cute and SO tiny! I get my "dog fix" from my friends' pets.
Joe is so proud of his Villanova Wildcats basketball team winning the National Championship!
He saw this t-shirt on a Villanova site and had to order it. It came in this week. Love it!
I went to my "old" ortho doc on Tuesday this week, for cortisone shots in my knees. Hoping to make them feel a little better for Mayfaire. They took new xrays and I snapped this photo when the nurse left the room. My right knee is listed as "severe" and is bone-on-bone. The left has a tiny bit of cushion left in there, but not much anymore. Let's just say I am in transition with the knees right now and may try another ortho doc in Tampa that a friend of a friend recommended. Sigh.
I also need to give you a "Joe Update". He saw two doctors on Tuesday. Yes, he is still in AFib, but another med was added to the new one and they will give it a couple of weeks to kick in and perhaps work together to get the heart slowed down. He does have an appointment with a new heart doc who specializes in ablation and pace makers....the next step after the meds. Joe has also had a lump on his kneecap that has been bothering him for a few weeks. He had an xray a week ago and got the results this week. He has arthritis in his knee and the lump is most likely a cyst (what we both thought) but they will do an ultrasound on it just to be sure. I think Joe thought it might be something worse because he was really relieved to learn it is a cyst and arthritis (bad enough!). When you start to age, life gets real interesting, doesn't it!
Wishing everyone a good weekend! I'll be at work, at Mayfaire, both days and will have lots of photos to share on my Monday Weekend Wrap-Up. Blessings to you! Peace & hugs.
Awwww...Miss Maddi is adorable. I need to get a tshirt made that states, "Never underestimate an old lady who graduated from..." lolol (good grief, will be two diff schools...yikes, lol)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smiles...keeping you both in prayer, friend.
Mayfaire sounds like so much fun! Hope the shots have given you some relief. That puppy...too cute. You and Mr. Joe certainly have your share of health issues....take care of yourself!!! Happy Friday...and, thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteI get my puppy fix from other peoples dogs too. lol
ReplyDeleteCute shirt.
I hope the shots help your knees and Joe's new med works.
Have a great weekend!
That puppy is precious. But I know I am not a pet person...too much responsibility and mess for me at this stage of life. Hope your knee will feel better with the shots...bone on bone usually means knee replacement. My husband went through the same thing and he was amazed at how much better he felt after his replacement. I have to brag on him as he followed all the doctors orders about doing his exercises at home and he went back to work at six weeks post op. Have a fun weekend!!
ReplyDeletePoor Joe - he's just going through it all right now, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteMy dad's knee is bone on bone too. I'm so afraid that's my fate.
PUPPPPPPPPPYYYYYY! I get puppy fever like most women get baby fever.
Wow, isn't it telling when we're relieved to think that it's a cyst and arthritis! And your knees, bone on bone? Yikes! It's a wonder you can walk at all. I hope you get help from the new ortho doctor, Terri. And I hope the shots help get you through MayFaire. Love that photo. I NEED a puppy, but with upcoming hip replacement, that's not going to happen any time soon. :-(
ReplyDeleteLove the puppy, so precious and of course I got a chuckle from the shirt. Joe will be so proud wearing it. Life's transition to old age is quite a journey. Mr D always says, 'it ain't for sissies.' Sending prayers for healing.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a Cutie (and the puppy ain't half bad, either :) So glad it's just a cyst..."just"...still a pain, though, but counting blessings. Wishing and hoping those docs can bring Joe's heart back in line. Hugs to you both.
ReplyDeleteLove the puppy. As luck will have it, my DIL knows someone who has shih Tzu puppies and they will be ready end of June. Hubby and I are discussing one. Cant wait to see them. Prayers with you guys. Hugs, LJ
ReplyDeleteI loved the puppy on Instagram. I agree, getting older sure has its challenges.
ReplyDelete"Life gets real interesting" ... what a cute understatement!
ReplyDelete'Praying that the cortisone shots make getting around Mayfaire a bit easier. I'm looking forward to your photos!
I hope the shots helped with your knees. It seems to be one thing after another with the pair of you at the moment but glad to see you are philosophical about it. Aww that puppy is just way tooooo cute. I'd love to have a dog but hubby is not keen and can't get another cat until son moves out. Have a good weekend and look forward to seeing your pics :)
ReplyDeleteThat puppy is adorable! I sure hope you find a Dr to help you with your knees soon. Praying the new med helps Joe.
ReplyDeleteI love his new shirt.
Happy Mayfaire weekend!
A cute puppy can make you smile any time! I know it's hard as we get older, too. I am trying to be grateful that my aches and pains are small compared to others. I will keep you in my prayers.
