Needing prayers.

dylan made a nice rebound in late afternoon, but was curled up on floor, repeatedly tying to check on mom. He did get up uo watch DD and asked if the other dylan in tonite's game was good guy. Son had to take charge of dinner, kids, and he made at last three trips upstairs with towels. Hallie and Lucas seem OK, with Lucas finding ways to get laughs from all. Hallie, BTW, has declared (shouted) for a couple years that her favorite color was orange

Dunno who could be next. Son has to be very concerned, and Mrs AV went to bed saying her stomach was upset and was hoping it was only nerves. Dylan's clinic tests showed he doesnt have the flu or covid, etc

Heat index going to 110 plus inland, but we may barely reach triple digits here

thanks to all

Well, the one I'm most worried about now is the one who decided to run in this heat.

The red woman takes me to heated yoga every Saturday.
It’s a truly different experience. The first time I thought she was trying to collect life insurance on me.

Hubby and I have talked about doing a yoga class. Actually I talk, he just listens.

My last go around with TOA. They've scheduled me twice for surgery this week, only to cancel late both days, after I notify my employer. If you need orthopedic treatment in middle Tennessee, I advise Elite Ortho (past experience was outstanding) or Vanderbilt Ortho. The "surgery scheduler" then proceeded to be rude and blame the insurance company, hospital, etc. If her rude a$$ wouldn't schedule surgeries before getting approval from insurance, none of this would've taken place. I let her know yesterday that I'm in control now since she can't get her together and they are to wait until approval, contact me so I can schedule therapy for the following day (which doc told me was imperative within 24 hours of procedure) and then I'll decide when the surgery will take place. I'll never set foot in another TOA the rest of my life due to this and that's a shame because the surgeon was really good, but everything else is the worst experience I've ever had. They need a major overhaul in office staff and how they operate.

Apologies for the rant, sometimes I wonder how some people even get dressed and make it to work.

Had 2nd procedure on elbow yesterday, finally. No manipulation only another incision and more staples (ughh). Doc said it was full of scar tissue and he feels like that was causing the biggest issue with my range of motion since 1st surgery. Nerve block wore off about 10:30 last night and whooo-boy the pain is intense. Therapy first thing this morning and 3 times per week for the next 4 weeks. Lord I pray that the end is near of this ordeal (the pain the last 4 and half months is taking a toll and I have a long way yet to go). I appreciate any prayers as always. And I'll continue praying for everyone here on VN that is need of them as well.

Praying for healing!

We sure don't appreciate joints and muscles when we are young. Well maybe some of us do. I didn't. I do now.

I feel your pain. Literally. I had surgery Tuesday, and it hurt like the dickens Wednesday, beginning in the wee hours. The pain dulled throughout Thursday, and I’ve become accustomed to a lesser ache.

Coworker passed away this morning. I've actually known him years before here. Good guy, it's heartbreaking, remember his family.

This is hard for me to read, Gordo, having witnessed my cousin’s struggle with the disease.

Now that you’re back home, y’all might want to think about getting your better half to her doctor to be checked out for concussion. It often isn’t diagnosed in the ER, because it takes a while for symptoms to develop, but dizziness, exhaustion, and depression? After my most recent concussion, I had all three, plus a bad case of The Stoopids, slow thinking and all.

There’s not a ton you can do about concussion, BUT one thing that helps recovery is to go really, really slowly, much more slowly than one wants to.

Trying to get back to usual levels of activity too quickly can make recovery take way longer than it should.
