Spring Fling Craft Fair

So I signed up for the SpringFling craft fair in SandyValley at the Keystone center, but then I thought, Knit hats & Scarves might not sell too well in the springtime,so,,,,,,,I stole an idea from a fashion show I went to!! Lets just say I am tuned into the spring & summer fashions!! Let's just say "you'll FLIP over my newest creations" & "You won't be a FLOP on the fashion scene" Come visit my booth & see what I have for sale!! May 1, Saturday Keystone Center, Sandy Valley NV!! There will be other booths full of crafts, snacks, bakery items, & Breakfast ,Lunch & Dinner!!

Finally! a Diagnosis!!

OK so I went to the DR and then to the X-ray and then called the dr and "nurse' said oh nothing on the x-ray, but I insisted on seeing the dr anyway, so I get an appt and get in to see him and lo and behold, he said from the x-rays I have degenerative arthritis AKA Osteoarthritis!! I told him I called and the nurse said nothing to worry about, He told me to ALWAYS speak to him, not the nurse!! Ok so now we know what it is and he changed my pain meds to something that works!! Tramadol is my new best friend!! It relieves the pain and doesn't make me groggy!! OH happy day!! I am continuing with my vitamin regime adding a few joint healthy vits and continuing to lose the weight! Dr sez every lb I lose is 5 lbs of pressure off my knee!! So I have lost 150 lbs of pressure off my knee so far!! Ya for me and I can't wait to lose more! Clothes are looser,everything is getting more comfortable too. Will start doing exercises for the knees to try to help relieve even more pain! A good nights sleep is wonderful and the wondering of what's wrong with me is gone(read this as NO CANCER)
Gettin old is tough but it's better than the alternative!!

Pain

Used to be I would take an asprin and sleep all night! Now I take an Ibuprofen 800, Soma and warm milk and I am up at 4 am!! What gives? This knee problem has to have an end soon. Dr sent me for x~rays friday and need to talk to him about the results tomorrow,,,it's always there in the back of my mind,,,, maybe thats why I am awake still. Well can't wait till tomorrow!,,,I think,

Camping!

Well we went on the annual Easter camp trip up to Sunnyside NV to fish, camp and enjoy each other's company!! We had all kinds of weather, Sun everyday for a bit, Rain some of the time, wind alot of the time and hail and snow on the last day!! But they caught fish and we cooked and camped and ate and knitted and yakked for 4 days! Got to see niece Kaitlin & nephew Tyler for the first time in a few years, older but just as cute as ever! Hunter terrorized everyone with his fun antics, I say terrorize in a nice way!! He's a cutie pie for sure!! Crista & Jr were great to have around!! We missed Uncle Billy & Piper a lot and talked about them! Crista wanted to know why he can't come fishing with us, I had to tell her they lived too far away & she decided he should come next year coz they came a long way to go camping so He should too!!!Gotta love the innocence of children!3 campers, 3 boats &14 people ranging from 1 1/2 to 70 something! WE HAD FUN!!!
