On Monday I had a brief dental appointment to confirm that, yes, I need a root canal. Since I already pretty much knew that, I had already scheduled an appointment. That will happen in two weeks, before I go back to have my permanent crowns put on. I am weary of dental work.
On Wednesday I had a phone appointment to report on the results of my hip flexor injection. It worked and there is much less pain. Now I need to get in touch with my physical therapist to make sure I am doing strengthening exercises before the steroid wears off.
On Tuesday Jake took us up on our offer to get him out of the house for a walk. While he still has pain from his broken ribs, he is doing pretty well. We went to the marina to enjoy the sunshine and the "refreshing" wind.
On Tuesday and Wednesday we spent a lot of time in the garden, cleaning out beds, getting ready to plant tulips. I spent a lot of time on my knees, so by today it was time to stay off my knee, which was now hurting, even with plenty of padding under it.
Today we got all of the tulip bulbs into nursery cans, ready to put into the ground. This is just one bed.
We were going to plant this afternoon, but Jake called needing taxi service, so Tom went off to do that. I went outside and collected yard art to store in the shed, and I picked flowers for the kitchen table.
Tom's Trident Maple bonsai is starting to put on it's autumn show. So pretty.
Now I am sitting at the computer with the office TV on, watching baseball. The Mariners are playing the Toronto Blue Jays for the American League Championship.
The Mariners won the first two games in Toronto, and now it looks like Toronto will win the first two games back in Seattle. Watching baseball has too many highs and lows. High hopes are being crushed. But there are at least two games to go. When your team is losing you need to remember that sports are fun, right?
Glad Jake is feeling better! You have been very busy this week, for my part I am a bit lazy those days! But I finished my book this morning and will go back to work now before going out this weekend! Tom’s bonsai is marvellous!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that Jake is on the mend. Also that you've gotten some relief from the hip pain.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with your comments on being a baseball fan. I was rather dejected by the Jays performance at home and elated by the last two games.i knew it would be a tough series . Our teams have definitely proven they both belong in the Series. Im not calling it for either team...
I was so hoping the Mariners would win this game. We can still take the series, right?
ReplyDeleteI see you're multi tasking again. The Blue Jays are my team but I never watch sports.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy. Good to hear that the steroid injection worked! That Bonsai is ever so pretty showing off Fall color!
ReplyDeleteI had a bout of constant dental appointments and fixes and it is indeed so weary. My teeth are finally "behaving" after I started doing Dr. Ellie's protocol of 3 different and specific rinses and a specific kind of toothpaste. Glad that you and Jake are getting better and your busy life is beautiful with flowers and scenery. I sure hope the Mariners win so my son-in-law returns on Sunday a happy man.
ReplyDeleteYou're busy getting outside work done while the weather is fine. Good to know the shot has helped you.
