Some Things MUST Be Posted
Why? Because, well, cuz sometimes, they just happen to be TRUE! Seriously!
How many times have you been going down the highway, and all of a sudden, traffic is backed up for miles. An hour or two later….you finally reach the block, and………NOTHING! No reason! Ever wonder if someone with the road honchos have an extremely warped sense of humor?

I Got A Shot!
Oh, yeah me! I would have prefered it in my hinder! Instead, I got a shot in my knee. That hurts!
I spent some time with the ortho guy this morning, looking at my x-rays and MRI. Funny looking stuff in there, bones and such. What I found amusing was the look on the doc’s face when I asked him what the zipper on the side was. Heh. I was wearing these britches with a zipper on the side, and it came out REAL clear on the MRI.
Yes, I knew what it was, but the look on his face. 
Priceless!
So, anyways, he says I have a real bad case of arthritis in my left knee….bones all jagged and such. He’s not sure if the tear he sees is an ‘echo’ from a previous surgery or not. What the heck does that mean? He gave me some heavy duty ibruprofen, along with said icky shot and he’s going to see if it’s all better in 10 days….next Thursday? Something like that. Well, so far, neither the shot, nor the pills have done diddly to help in the extreme pain department. sigh…
It’s not like I expected to be able to run a marathon immediately. Why should I? I never have before! Why start now, right? 
But I was a least hoping for some relief.
And by the way……
OLD AGE SUCKS!

For Mr Ol’ Broad
Hi honey! 
I came across this link I thought you might like to watch of Wayne Jerrolds since ya did some pickin’ and grinnin’ with him not all that long ago. I would have embedded it, but there wasn’t any code.

Looky What I Got!
My ick in law…..Ick, sent me a present. 
You may, or may not, know…..I spent some time in Thailand in my younger years. I also collect elephants (and cats, and armadillos, and Celtic Crosses, and……). Or, as they are better called….dust catchers. So, I guess he decided I needed to add this to my ever growing collection.
Ain’t it purdy!! Obviously, I am not going to use it for it’s intended purpose. Hey, I don’t drink, why would I? And NO, the Mr will NOT sneak it in his back pocket! Nope, this will go into our new curio cabinet (if it ever arrives), right by the front door, in a place of ‘honor’!
Thank you, Ick! I do love it!

A Blogger’s B-Day!
I’m not going to sing. There’s a good reason for this. Most likely because I sound like a cat in heat when I make the attempt! On that ‘note’…….
Happy Birthday Peter!
I hope ya have a GREAT DAY!
Remember, age brings wisdom…..mostly!

Personal Whine Time
Whine #1: I’m sitting here, with my leg propped up, with a pillow under it, looking at a cane I’ve had to use the last couple of days. Dang! sigh…. Screwed up knee. Did the x-ray and MRI thing, and yep….it’s screwed up alright. Torn stuff, bone degenerating, yada yada. Old age sucks. Going to see the ortho guy a week from tomorrow (earliest I could get in to see any of ‘em), and no doubt, there is surgery in my future.
Whine #2: Our oldest cat, Hootie, isn’t doing too well. She’s spending most of her time under the bed, and isn’t eating enough to keep a mouse alive. She will drink a little water though, evidenced by her tinkling ON the bed this morning….a LOT.
After losing Psycho (8 Feb 2006), having Hootie go too, well….hard would be an understatement. She’s one of our four legged children!
Whine #3: This morning, the Mr headed to Wisconsin, to take care of some stuff up there, and to go to Volksfest in Waupun. He hasn’t missed Dorf Kappel in years, so I guess just cuz we’ve moved to Tennessee, it’s no reason to start now. I don’t do polka music. I’m a Texan! :) No, I’m not mad at him for going. This trip has been planned for quite a while, and he did volunteer to postpone it, just for lil’ ol’ me. He’ll be back around the 15th, and I’ll survive….sorta.
What’s my beef? Well, what if something happens to Hootie while he’s gone? I can’t dig a hole. 
Not that I want to, but what if? I can hobble around the house, no problem. Well, at least not so far. I can even drive if the need arises. But Hootie is another matter all together. I need to take her to the vet, but how do ya carry a kitty in a carrier with a cane? 
No, I don’t want any cheese with my whine! Got some, thanks anyway.
