New Alarm button

 tom bought me a button to wear around my neck in case I fall.  He has receivers all over the house so he can hear the alarm. It also works when I am outside working.


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
