I guess everyone that has checked my blogs are wondering if I surrvive Miss Jane visit. I really enjoyed her visit and I sure hated to see her leave. We had such a good time together. I also was so glad that Jill came up here on Wednesday to meet with Jane, Beth, Rosemary and me. We really enjoyed all of us meeting one another for the first time. It is so nice to meet your dear friends in person. I wish I could meet all of my art friends in person. Maybe one of these days I will. I hope to go to visit Jane this summer and I will get to meet Beth McVeigh also who lives fairly close to Janes house. I have been so busy after Jane left catching up on all of my art projects that we all goofed off while she was here and shopped two days while she was here. So I am just about caught up I hope. Finished making my Christmas Greeting Cards to send out today. I do have Judy Dicks Winter Wonderland Book to work in and I need to finished up making gift tins for my kids money that we give them every year. Oh well tomorrow is anothe day of work but it is the kind of work that I enjoy so much.
If you read the time this was posted you will see I couldn't sleep so I just finally got up at 3:30 A.M. My darn old leg and hip was hurting me so badly that I just got out of bed and turned the coffee pot on and here I am just a typeing away LOL. I am so tired of being in pain with my hip,back and leg. Nothing seems to help the pain and I surely dont want to get hooked on drugs. I didnt take a pain pill or muscle relaxer last night as I am so afraid I will get hooked on those darn things. I went to the Dr. last week and had a cortisone shot and he gave me pain patches and pain medicine. The shot helped my swelling in my feet but didnt ease my pain. They also made xrays of my hip and done a bone dinsity test on my back and hip. So far havent heard from these test yet. If I dont hear today I will call the Dr. today. I am so darn tired of hurting like this. Here I am a 77 years old woman that should be up running around like a chicken with its head cut off, but no I can hardley walk much less run. I see women my age that is all spruce up and dancing with a good looking old codger and here I sit and sit. Oh well guess I am just feeling sorry for myself. But Gee I would love to be able to travel and see a different scenery than Dickson. Guess I will just be contented to sit and do my arts and be thankful that I can get out of bed every morning. I have a lot to be thankful for. I have a good husband, very fortune that we have a good retirement and wonderful kids and family a good warm place to live in and food on the table. Our newspaper has been posting some sad stories about people on the Wish List that breaks my heart to read about. All I ask the Good Lord is for better health and continue to be able to get around.
Well guess I better get off of here as I have a lot of work to do today. Just wanted anyone that happens to come in here to check out my blog that I was still kicking, but not up a storm LOL.
Lisa I am so sorry about your Mom. May God Bless you and give you the strenght to see these holidays through without her.
Will try to do better on writing in my blog I promise for the New Year that will be one of my resolutions.

Hi Lottie,
I'm so sorry that you are in such pain. You should take a pain pill once in a while. You won't get addicted by taking them sometimes. I do know how you feel about them though. I worry about it too so I won't take them more than twice a week. Why don't you think about doing it on really bad days? My daugher says that when I take them my IQ drops about 50 points. lol
I'm all ready for the holidays. As ready as I can be. All decorated, cards all done and mailed and all wrapped.
Take Care
Hi Lottie:
I want to commisserate with you about the pain and meds thing. I am only 60 and I can't sleep through the night hardly either. I do take a muscle relaxant to sleep, because sleep deprivation is not a good thing. I sure hope the tests come back with some kind of solution that will give you hope and eventually less pain. Bless you sweet Lottie. I understand, believe me. I have those disabled plates on my car. I understand. Really I do. Big hugs, but not so tight as to hurt. LOL
well Lottie, this is awful. I have no idea how this happened. I wish I could see a way to delete all but one. Sorry Lottie.
Hi Lottie,
Sorry to hear you're having pain problems. I wish I had a magic wand and could wave it over you and make it all go away. I understand your hesitation to take a lot of drugs. I even hate to take an aspirin! I hope you're feeling better soon and can get out there and shake a leg!!
Hey Lottie. You are back. That's great. Pain meds - well, IMHO and you can cheerfully ignore me and it won't hurt my feelings - I say take them. At 77 it is all about quality of life. You are smart, active, and involved. Dump the pain and get out there. I'm sure the doc can guide you on effectively taking the meds without getting hooked.
In the meantime, I like your middle of the night medicine of choice - COFFEE!!
