On Friday, Joe had physical therapy. He was happy when he came out and said it went really well. That was fine until he woke up on Saturday morning with sore muscles and a weakened left arm (again). He is still feeling good about it and understands that it is a process.
I had leftover steak and a baked potato and decided to make some beef vegetable soup in the crockpot. I called Helen to see if she and Cheryl wanted to come over for soup and cornbread. They said yes. I also made brownies that we had for dessert with some ice cream. There was enough to send home soup and cornbread with them and more for us another day. Yes!
Saturday I changed the sheets and got them washed. We went out to dinner with another couple from here in Mas Verde. C. is fighting breast cancer so they stayed here for the summer to keep her doctor here. She has lost her hair and has three more weeks of chemo before she switches to once every three weeks. She and her hubby always play Nickels with us when everyone is here (not enough people to play now). It was fun getting to know them a little better and we enjoyed going to a restaurant we hadn't tried before called Glory Days. I had some yummy shrimp, Joe had pulled pork, T. had ribs, and C. had a rice bowl. We were all happy!
Sunday ended up being laundry day and we finished watching season two of Marcella on Netflix. Our son called from Kuwait and it was good catching up with him. Joe's Phillies lost the last two games so he is concerned about them.
Here are a couple of odds & ends...
These little mini ice cream cones are DELICIOUS and just the right amount for a bed-time snack.
They are by Blue Bunny!! Yum!
And Lucy was enjoying (again) the bird video on my laptop.
We have a busy week ahead so we will be hopping!! Thanks for your visit!! Peace & hugs!!
Sure hope the physical therapy will help Joe and I know the soreness at first is a result of it. It is always nice to visit a new restaurant with friends. May the busy week ahead get done without problems.
ReplyDeleteKeeping Joe in prayer. My husband has been going to therapy for his hand (since his surgery) for weeks now and he sees no improvement. He's thinking of cancelling the rest---he's not very happy.
ReplyDeleteDo you know, we cant get Blue Bunny here? sigh
Those little mini cones are the best! The kitties watching their video always makes me smile. They are too cute. Hoping Joe feels better today. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteOur grands love those Blue Bunny cones...well to be honest, so do I!! Hope Joe sees some more improvement with the therapy.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Marcella.
ReplyDeleteHope Joe feels better today.
Mmmm those mini cones look yummy.
Have a great day!
The bird video is so funny! What entertainment...probably would be for me too! lol Enjoy your day! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteI love doing a netflix marathon of a couple of seasons of a series....It almost seems like family at times after spending hours with them. Hope things pick up for your husband... it does take time...
ReplyDeleteTell Joe not to worry about the soreness. Often after going to my chiropractor, I will feel a bit of soreness in the back area we are treating, but it doesn't last for long. And those mini cones look delicious! Maybe I need to hunt up some for Virginia.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Terri!
I hope Joe feels better as the day goes on and that Lucy is really captivated with that video,, we don't have those cones here but they look really good, like a small DQ dipped cone I think,,
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated that your cat is fascinated with the bird video on your computer screen!!
ReplyDeleteYes, physical therapy is a process. It's not easy. Good for Joe for hanging in there!!
Tom's got a bad cough he can't seem to shake. He been on steroids and an antibiotic but is no better. Planning to see the doctor again tomorrow. Please pray it's nothing serious.
Prayers lifted, Barb!
DeleteI am curious to know how big that steak was to make so much soup!! Very impressed. I'm sorry Joe is so sore, but he has a good attitude. I was sore this weekend from cleaning house getting ready for company. I didn't know I felt I would be able to walk straight up again!!! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI put another potato in and LOTS of veggies. The beef was enough.
DeleteLook at that mini ice cream cone - that is adorable!
ReplyDeleteYep - its always the next day you feel muscle things!!!
A call from Kuwait - I know that was exciting!
THOSE MINI ICE CREAM CONES ARE SO ADORABLE! I MUST GET THEM!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose little cones are so cute!
ReplyDeleteHope Joe starts to feel some long term relief soon.
Sounds like an eventful few days!! Still sending prayers for healing!! Hugs
