Great picture and Happy Birthday!

Sheba, I hope you and hubs are doing ok today.
It was hot here so I organized things inside and hiked early evening. One of my neighbors wants to go with me…. last time this happened with another (different) neighbor she declined every time. Her excuses were her dog was sick, she had covid, her dog had covid etc…etc… haha
I laugh about it always because she always asked to go when I saw her. Don’t worry we are good. Honestly it’s quite easy to go when I want, not coordinate someone’s schedules, and just go. and it’s calm. There are people on the trails here and there so it is not that isolated if something happened.
Have a cool evening.

When I was about 7 or 8 years old, my parents sent me to an overnight camp for the summer. This was to relieve my grandparents for a few months. One of my favorite things to do was horse back riding. On one of the occasions, I was trotting in a ring when the horse behind me hit my horse in the leg. This triggered a full gallop. I was able to stay on for a time, but then the horse bucked and threw me and my left ankle got caught in the stirrup as I was thrown. The pain was unbearable, and I was carried to the infirmary. I was treated for a bad sprain. However, weeks later when I still had problems walking, I was taken to the nearest hospital for x-rays. It wasn’t a bad sprain, rather I had cracked the bone. The treatment would now require to actually break the bone and to reset it. My parents were beside themselves and decided to wait until summer camp was over. They took me to another specialist who said the same thing. However, I was able to walk on that leg and my parents decided to let things go. I was happy with that decision. However, that ankle gives me many “I wish I hads”and after fainting in the bathroom several weeks ago I began to think that having the surgery may actually help. The pain was very intense and the selling was around the ankle and toes. However, with soaking and wearing comfortable shoes, the swelling has gone down and I am able to walk without pain. I am still contemplating whether to have the surgery, but then the sulfite problem creeps in and consequently I get a bit jittery when I think about the anesthesia. So afraid of getting a reaction and not able to wake up.

@oodiebom,

I think that is a great idea perhaps we can pass that message on to her. 😎✨

I like this necklace. However I think if Heidi could make a similar one with seashells, how awesome that would be. Just a thought.

@oodiebom,

Good evening say what about your ankle? I did not know it was that bad. I don’t like that.
How are you doing so much with a hurt ankle? Oodie you need a day off but still have an
eye on your husband. I think we will have a party when your husband is home and his medical
issues are addressed. I pray the medical office calls you with dates for his procedure.

I feel he needs to get out of that Rehab. I also have a concerned for his trip to Tampa
they need to get the dates right so you can arrange the transport and help.

Oodie I would have so much fun shopping in Florida especially where and how you shop.
I think Florida’s Fruit and food is some of the best. I would love to get my hands on one of those
grinders and I am sure my husband would like anything hot. ✨

Please try to rest and stay cool some parts of Florida are very hot according to the national
news. Oodie it is hot all over I am about to jump in the shower and I use Korres and Perlier
as my bath products even at this hour we are in triple digits. Shizzle!

@xango,

Good evening OZ had some good rain but we now have triple digits and I am typing this
at 9:46 p.m. this will continue for days. ✨

Poppy will go for a run in our large backyard we have a special spot for him and he knows
exactly where it is. 😎

I hope you are feeling better try not to overdo any lifting I am sure you know that.
The plants can wait. I pray for rain all over as well as cooler weather.

Peace Out Peeps stay safe and cool in this weather. ✨✨

Happy Birthday to Mrs. David Bowie. 🌹🌹

@taci

I think those nasty critters like the cooler temps and that’s why you are seeing them on your hikes. I would probably find other areas that might be snake free or hiking earlier in the day may be a better time for you. I’m not a lover of reptiles so I know where you are coming from. This is why I take the bottled water out of the car at the rehab center. Please stay hydrated.

Hello Sheba, hope you are keeping yourself and Poppy cool.
It’s so hot everywhere, the poor plants outside are just so thirsty. Unfortunately they will have to wait for rain.
My back pain today is somewhat better.
It’s about a little after 3PM, and I need to start dinner for hubby. Shrimp is the fastest thing to make. So, that’s on the menu 😋
Take care Sheba 🌹

Just made another phone call to Urology. I have no idea what the problem is, but so far no appointment. It shouldn’t take this long to come up with a day, date and time. There is no way that I would have hubby go to Tampa when the construction makes a 45 minute drive one that lasts two hours or more. I am actually surprised. They know that hubby will need a full replacement on both knees and that t he rehab does have people that can help hubby on and off the table/bed. It’s a catch 22 and hubby is in the middle. I have a feeling that there may be a reason other than the one given.

I did make it to the Farmer’s Market yesterday. Their hot hot hot was fantastic. I even bought pineapple habanero salsa for me. Tried it just a few minutes ago and it’s superb. I also picked up salmon with the habanero sauce. I will have that for dinner tonight. I also picked up mango cheesecake. OH MY>……😃😃😃. I gave hubby a small piece and he loved it. Will bring it with me today. Bought the Italian Grinder and one with all meat.

As I entered the rehab yesterday, one of the aids mentioned that he ate a little dinner. It so happened that I had two ice packs with me on the “DBest.” I am beginning to feel like a St.Bernard with all this food. Hubby was glad to see me. I wonder why????? He finished the entire grinder. I left him with two apples and a bag full of red grapes. I had some of the grapes and they were so sweet and delicious. To think in a couple of weeks or less we will see the pluots. Summer is going by too fast.

My ankle is healing, finally. The swelling is almost gone and so is the pain. The temps and humidity didn’t help much. At least now I can walk without limping. At least for a bit.

Enjoy your walk tonight. Hope you will bathe in the moonlight.
