First Camela bloom

 Tom bought me this camela plant for our 67 anniversary in May and I had to wait until winter for it to bloom which is the normal time.  I think this one is called Debutant.

Winter storms 2022

 On December 16 , we had 22 inches of snow.  Now on December 23, we have heavy rain and temps are to plunge tonight and make for icy roads.  It is a sad Christmas with CTS and family not able to come and Peter and wife also not able  to come because of the impending storm.We lost power during the snowstorm and were cold a couple of days but have a tank full of propane for the generator for this storm.

Tom's cradle from many years ago.

 

After Thanksgiving

I had a hand specialist look at my hand issues today.  I have a brace which should help my corpal tunnel problems.  No surgery or injections until things get worse.  BP 188 over 80.  

Another fall

 December 2 FALL i FELL IN THE KITCHEN And HIT MY HEAD ON THE  HARD ON  THE  OAK TABLE,  Spent the next 5 hours in the ER getting checked out.  NO blood in brain, just a big goose egg which is now gone.It is definitely a praise. Blood pressure was 220 over 86.  

I Managed to get Tom to hear me calling for help.  He was in the study and finally came to get me from under the table. We went  to ER with ice pack on head.  Must be more and more careful. Dr. Kroger checked    BP on Friday and it was down to 260 oer 80.   c

October

 We had our first frost last night,October 3, 2022. NO plant damage.All plants were in the sunroom. 

Things  are quiet around here today.  Kortney and Pastor are coming over.  She for a piano lesson and Pastor to visit with Tom.  Tom has done some research for him, which was a blessing as Tom loves projects.  I'm sure they will have lots to discuss. Tom and I got our 5th  Covid shot on Saturday.  No reactions to any of the shots.  

His sugar is over 200, but coming down.  We go to Paliative Care at Togus tomorrow.  He is out of danger now, but they want to keep him in the program for later.
