Don't You Hate It When He's Right!

I went back to the ortho doc this morning. Had another x-ray of my thumb which is healing...yeah!!! My knee was still hurting like a son-of-a-gun, so I broke down and had the cortisone shot in my knee which Alan said I should have gotten two weeks ago. He was right...it already feels better. I had to keep ice on the injection site for a few hours because  my knee really swelled up. Let's see, I took two mild pain pills for my knee, had a reaction to the stuff and passed out breaking my thumb...got the cortisone shot for my knee and my knee swelled up big time....Ever get the feeling that you just can't win?

To quote my daughter, "tomorrow will be a better day" because I said so!!!!

Mother's Day

I would like to take this moment to wish all moms a very Happy Mother's Day! My four daughters (Mary, Leslie, Debbie and Bonnie) are such great moms and they have given me such pride and joy (heartaches too) in their lives. They have also given me beautiful grandkids. (Luke your day of thanks will come later) They say being a parent is a thankless job. While you may not get thanks from your children while they are growing up, you get rewarded with grandkids and I have 19 rewards!

I am so proud of my kids and grandkids! After all, isn't this really what Mother's Day is about?

Hope all moms have a wonderful day!
