Merry February

The last week of January was an absolute blur.  Literally.  My beloved eye doctor moved to an office across town so I decided to try a new doctor at a different practice.  Mistake.  This (well known, local) practice has not upgraded their technology and for the first time in almost a decade, I had my eyes dilated.  Due to my sensitivity to the drops, it took almost 6 hours before I could focus my eyes at work.

Needless to say, I'll be going back to where I came from.



Thursday, I went for my annual physical.   Do these pictures make you nervous?  You can't tell from the photos, but the wall color is actually a very calming shade of blue.

For the most part, my appointment went well.  My sweet doctor had a cold and wore a mask for our visit.  I was sent home with a diet change and news of an upcoming colonoscopy.  Also, I was told that I can't gain any weight because she believes my mouth structurally makes me susceptible for sleep apnea.  If I gain weight, it can cause my tongue to be too big for my mouth.  Who knew???  I've been told by the dentist that I have a small mouth, but I had no idea this put me at risk for sleep apnea!  I think I'll heed her advice and try to keep from gaining weight.  YIKES!

Mom started out the week with a very swollen leg.  She was unable to move around very well.  After more days of an increased dose of Lasix, her leg is smaller and she is moving around a little better. 

In other news:  Scott took down the Christmas tree on February 1st.  With temperatures into the 70's last weekend, I think it was time.  

For reasons only she knows, Blossom likes to stand between legs.  

Dad photobombed my picture of Mom making oyster stew.  

My Honda CR-V hit a big milestone today....100,000 miles.  It doesn't seem like it has been 10 years that I posted goodbye to my Ford Explorer and hello to my CR-V.  

Oh the places we have been.  (Nowhere exciting, really).  

I don't know who to credit for this one but....

Have a good week!
