Another Sunny Day...




It was another sunny day today. I made pancakes for breakfast. We left a little before noon to go pick up the jeep. As we thought, it was just a hose that was bad on the jeep, so good news there. We came home and had leftover pizza for lunch. I had a doctor's appointment at 1:40pm. They already had most of my information on file. Technology is great. We only had to wait about 20 minutes before seeing the doctor. He came in and pushed, pulled, and bent on my knee. It really hurt a couple of times he did it. They took x-rays and then we waited for the results. The x-ray tech came in to go over what she saw. Depending on how you look at it, it was good news. I have about 8 big arthritis spurs, but other wise the knees is good. So the big problem is arthritis. And how do you treat arthritis, not much you can do. We are going to try some physical therapy first. Maybe all the problems with my feet have weakened the knee a little. We are also going to try glucosamine to help lube the joint. We will revisit it in 6 weeks and see how things are. We have a couple more options if those don't work. It is feeling better today, so a big part of is the weather. So we will see what happens. We came home, picked up Kyle , and took him home. Then had to go to CVS, and then to the bank. We picked up chicken for dinner. I worked on the guest room a little bit tonight and Beth was on the computer. We will be heading to the hot tub a little later. We are go glad to be able to get back in it. Beth will be watching the Olympics for the next several weeks. I am not for them much, but like a few of the events. Today's picture is of a Blue Jay that came during the snow storm to get peanuts we put out for them.
