Ok, i'm doing a bit better....Got 3.5 hours of sleep, almost 4 !!!
Thats better than 2 or 3...right?
I can foresee a nap later on today. Have visiting nurse coming at 10am, and home health aide at 2pm. All of my visitors are back, but that's ok, I kind of like the company.
With this new medicaid insurance I have, I get long term health care at no cost to me. So, it's nice & also have a physical therapist too!!!
We are planning a trip in June, to the Americade Biker Festival, in Lake George ,NY. My partner Val rides a motorcycle, so I will be driving my car or her truck, since I can't go on the back of the bike yet.
There will be 70,000 people there, and we both don't like crowds, LOL!! So, we got a cottage about 1/2 mile down the road.
It will be fun though, I want to do a boat cruise, and we are going to buy stuff to make breakfast and lunch, and cook out on the grill , and then do a fancy dinner one night. Gotta be frugal, but we will still have fun!!
It's been about 6 or 7 years since i even went on a vacation, so even though it's just 4 days, 3 nights, it will be wonderful!!
SO, i' m trying to get healthier, and get my body in shape, so i can walk. Right now, It's hard for me to walk much at all. MY PT said he will help me strengthen my core, and my back, and my legs, so that in 8 weeks, I can at least feel more comfy.
The pain i have in my knees and hips is so bad though. I plan on getting a steroid injection before our trip, since that lasts about 6 weeks. Probably will do one hip, as i don't know how many body parts i can do at once!! lol!! i HAVE MORE THAN ONE BODY PART, THAT I NEED IT IN!
ok hope you all are still fast asleep. I will go back to sleep around 6:30am, for abouat 3 more hours and I should be good to do! Nap does sound nice though. I really get alot out of my afternoon nap.
But, that's probably why i don't sleep in , cause i take naps. I didn't take one yester day though.

Sounds like a fun vacation you have planned...........I haven't been on a vacation for over 12 years...........might be time to plan one:):)
A crowd of 70,000 would scare me away.....but the cottage sounds great:):)
Your vacation sounds like fun, Boo. I'm sorry to hear you're in such pain and hope things will work out so you don't have to suffer so.
As for sleeping, or maybe I should say lack of sleeping, it's certainly a problem for many of us. Something I have found is that, though it doesn't seem to make any difference whether or not I nap during the day, if I happen to doze off during the evening, I can pretty much count on having a poor night's sleep. Trouble is, I can't figure out how to stay awake during the evening. I seem able to doze off no matter what I'm doing except maybe walking around, and I certainly can't do that for several hours. And it's not like there's any warning...I don't feel sleepy...it just kind of happens out of the blue.
I hope you are feeling good and got a good night's sleep last night. I was reading your post and see that you live in Syracuse. I am from Troy and spent every summer when I was a kid in Lake George. I loved it and have such happy memories of it with my family.
Have a Happy Easter.

sounds like a good vacation & i think the 4 days is about right. these past couple of years i find by 4 days i'm ready to come home & rest up.
i got a chuckle out of, '' i HAVE MORE THAN ONE BODY PART, THAT I NEED IT IN!" ~~~ i can relate LOL
pick the parts that you need relief the most and then go have a great time!
i hope as i get up & moving that you are getting a nap :)
Met My Husband in Lake George 40 years ago..... Great place to go .
We are planning on doing the Lake George things too, like take a boat cruise, and I know a cute restaurant, off the beaten path we can check out. We'll do some exploring away from the partying, and see what cute little places we can discover.
I guess we just prefer a night by the lake to watch fireworks, compared to hanging out in a crowded bar, as we both don't drink( well i do enjoy a glass of wine from time to time, but not very often).
Yes, the cottage is so cute, and we can cook out, and have some quiet time.
I slept last night, but again not too long. Went back to bed for a few hours, and did not have a nap this afternoon. Even if i do take one, i also end up falling asleep watching TV around 9ish, if let myself.
I'm going to my cousins on Easter. First invitation I've received , except when Val came and took me to lunch a few weeks ago.(she lives an hour from me)
..It will be so nice to have someone else cook for me!!!! I'm going to see my Mom next week, because my cousin is off from school for Easter break.
Mom's doing better. Still working thru the infection, but once that's done, i think she will be sent to rehab. Let's hope nothing else hits her, poor mom...she's been thru so much!
Boo
Glad you had some sleep too.:)
God bless
It is a good thing to get to go somewhere like that. and things are better for you healthwise and you are able to go and enjoy. Also, your mom is on the mend and seems to be doing good, so go an enjoy!!!
