Welcome back!

His arm is looking good. We recently had a regular doctor’s office visit and got a good report there. The incision on my husband’s arm is not looking infected, swollen or extremely irritated.

These are all good signs. He has not asked for any pain pills in a couple of days. The only time it gets sore now is when he forgets and tries to use it to lift something, or bumps it.

Soon he will be able to get the stitches out, and be able to use his arm again.

Yes, the cancer on his arm is gone. He is however having trouble with the soreness because of the operation.

I am thankful that the operation only took one cut to remove all of the cancer. The pain pills that my husband has are helping with the hurt, but the best way to get the hurt gone is for it to finish healing.

The growth on my husband’s arm was a basil cell carcinoma.

It is gone, the doctor got it out the first time. He used a MOHS surgery to do it. Usually they cut out the offending item, then do an on site biopsy, then go back, shave some more out, do biopsy…etc.

He got it out with the first cut. Now, all that needs to be done is for the arm to heal, and the stitches to be removed in 3 weeks.

I am seriously outraged.

A woman, who knew that she was legally blind, decided to go shopping. She had her two daughters in the car with her. Oh, by the way, she also has never had a driver’s license. She decided to leave the mall, drove out into the intersection and killed a man who was on a bike run with other bikers.

She told the police officer that she didn’t see him. She hemmed and hawed about whether or not she could actually tell if the light was in her favor. She also told the office that she was legally blind.

When she went to court for this, she tried to get a lower sentence and get the court to feel sorry for her since she couldn’t see very well. The judge threw out her appeal and sent her to full trial. The jury found her guilty of manslaughter. Now, her family is trying to say that she did not get a fair trial since she is black.

I wonder just how fair the trial was for the man she killed when she broke the law and got behind the wheel of the car she was driving? Her family has offered no sorrow for the man killed, or for his family.

I have seen our cats in action so many times that I would dearly love to be able to put it in video and then post it on-line.

I don’t have a camcorder, though. I guess that I would need to check out some camcorder reviews to get an idea just what would work for me. I have a digital camera, but it only takes still pictures. If I had enough skill on the computer, I could take a lot of pictures and then turn them all into a video. The only trouble with that is that the cats do not stand still when they are playing, climbing, and bouncing up into the air. A still camera just could not do their play any justice.

Health care these days is something that a lot of people are talking about. I realize that here in Texas where we live, Scott & White hospital has some plans that do help people. I have no idea about health insurance in nc.

Each state has its own regulations about how the plans will or will not cover you. I know that when my sister was still alive in Arkansas, those plans weren’t very good. It could be so much worse for us if we did not have the type of medical availability around that we need.

What will happen with the proposed new health care regulations - I have no idea.

What’s up?

The price of gas, the price of prunes, the price of food, the price of almost anything. That’s what’s up.

Heard that before? If you have to commute to do anything, you know all of this. Online Schools, are their prices up? I don’t know. How some people are surviving is amazing to me.

There are so many other countries that are in worse shape than ours is, yet I know that things are happening. I truly do not want things to get worse. Families with children are in fragile shape. I wish there was some way to put protection around them so the economy would not destroy them. The lists of things that families need to purchase for the kids to go back to school are amazing.

I am so fuzzy headed right now thinking about these things. How do they do it?

I’ve thought about relocating, but the going rate on apartments right now is out of sight.

Where we are staying, the rent is based on the income of each renter. Otherwise, the rents would be over $500 for even a dump. We have wondered about getting steel buildings to put all of our stuff in, but since it is really hot right now, that would be a bad idea. Everything would be melted, or…..

I have to have air-conditioning, so does my husband, so living in a steel building is not the brightest idea for us, unless it was extremely insulated. Even then, we would have to have a lot to put it on. We will keep packing, anyway.

You know, if the apartment manager is smart, she will buy stuff at wholesale prices. At least that way she will be saving lots of money. It is bad enough that there will be a bunch of workers that will need to be paid.

Well, for them it isn’t bad since that means that they will be earning a living and being able to pay for their families and stuff, but the cost of having do 32 complete apartments has got to be amazing. Think about it. Paint x 32, electrical x 32, doors x 32, water heaters x 32, stoves x 32……

Glad I’m not paying that bill. Wish that we did not have to pack to get it done though.

Not at all what we need right now. I think that one of the faucets in the bathroom might be leaking and it definitely shows some corrosion.

The apartment complex will be undergoing renovation sometime, but I do not think that they will be using Kohler kitchen faucets or bathroom faucets anywhere in the complex. Usually those things are gotten in lots for more than just one apartment at a time.

I am still feeling grumpy about all of the ruckus that is going on with people having to pack and all of our routines getting upset.
