GOOD AFTERNOON EVERY GLASSIE:
Gosh not sure how long since I have checked in and I apologize for being so busy.. or Neglectful.. I think about you all and still see some other places, but still I feel ashamed.. This was home plate for so long.. I am still doing Ebay but thinking seriously I need to throw in the towel. and find a new hobby.. Still collecting elephants, small scale..
I have been trying to catch up here, and I know I am older then most here, but goodness, Whats with all this health issues..
FIRST OF ALL.. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE BD WISHES.So sorry George about your eyes but glad there is an alternative for you. The Doc keeps checking my Eye for Immaculate Degeneration. I think thats the word for it.. So far so good, but he wants me to keep taking Centrum Silver.. Are you still selling I have not looked lately.. I tried to look up last time I was here but could not find the link to check on members..
HI JIML, I did not know you had the Gout, but remembered your having so much trouble with your knee, now your foot? Is it a regular thing that keeps popping up? Going through reg. stages? Sorry to hear that..
HI CARL, You seem to be having issues as well.. I can not picture any of you guys being drinkers, 😉 I am glad you got some relief so you could finish your Christmas Shopping.. Is your DW loving staying home now that she retired.. Is she keeping busy?
KATIE, Good to see your making money selling old toys.. Wish I had a stash of them.. LOL Still selling glass and other things.. I pray you and Mike are doing well..
JULIE, hard to believe its been 10 yrs.. but its so important for us all to remember our loved ones are pain free, and in a better world then we live in.. Good to hear you are still active and doing your thing.. I bet your little GK are growing up so fast.. Too fast.. I know you feel blessed..
GOOD TO See GAIL here, just like the Old Days.. She sure keeps busy doing the cataloging on FB.. Know she is missed here..
I Think the newest thing in my life is my youngest son is living with us.. He has a few Health issues, and is not able to work much, he has picked up a few dollars here and there if he is asked about a job, he has the capabilities but not the Oomph, so he has the know how and other guys do the work with him overseeing it.. He has COPD really bad with only 17% Lung Capacity left, plus some sort of Arthritis, that disables him for days at a time.. He went to a specialist thought Maybe he had Gout.. But Arthritis Doc said its not.. but this special arthritis that moves around Joint to joint. One time its his shoulder or hands or feet or knees, This last time last Sat he came home and could hardly get into the house, He finally hopped to a chair and got his boot off, but so painful he could not touch it.. I got him something to eat, and then he crawled upstairs to his bedroom, & bathroom, So hard to see the pain he was going through.. The next morning, DH went and got him a pair of crutches to use. by the next morning it was in his Hand.. He had to wrap it with Ace bandage to help relieve the pain. Ice does not help and heat does not help, Meds do not help much.. DH had some Oxy. from when he had surgery, that must have helped him get some sleep.. The Doc said it is not gout, but he is not suppose to drink beer.. It does seem to have an effect on him.. He has tried drinking wine.. Does not want to get into the hard stuff. and goes awhile without any flair ups, and forgets how bad it was.. Thinking this last time, he will remember for a long time.. Not knowing how much time he has left I do not nag at him.. But what he is going through reminds me so much of what a couple of you are going through. So possibly if you have pain & swelling moving around that too could be Arthritis..Wish I could remember the name of it..
You all take care, and Wishing You ALL
A MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS.. ...............Shelly
