End of October

 I received a text from a friend to go look on facebook.  I did and then I had to ask where to look.  A friend from High School had passed away from colon cancer.  She and I were not friends in High School but were as adults.  It is horribly sad.  I feel so sad for her family.  Makes you really realize that you don't know from one day to the next what will happen.  Sometime in the next few days the arrangements will be made.  Since it is covid, I will not plan on attending so she can have more of her family attend.  With covid, you have to think of these things now.  

November is just around the corner and with that is the election that I cannot wait to be over.  The absolute hatred that is going on is amazing to me.  What happened to human kindness?  Respecting each other's opinion?  Not anymore.  Now it is more of a you are wrong and I will hate you.  Media of course is lapping this up.  The politicians aren't helping either.  It feels so different from the last two presidential elections.  This is more out of control.  People are just out of control.  It is so unbelievable to me.  I can't wait for it to end.

Tuesday I start the first of the wrappings for the lymphedema on my legs.  We are starting with the right calf.  It is huge.  Simply huge.  I wore the hideous shoes yesterday and will wear them again today.  They are very heavy.  very very heavy.  When I walked upstairs, my hips, lower back, and left knee hurt.  I am skeptical about this now.  I will give it a go though.  I won't know unless I give it a good go.  The huge box will come with me.  She said to use my walker so I will.  

Tomorrow I get my flu shot.  I get it every year.  I have for many years now.  I get it at 9;30 am.  yup.  Nice and early.  I will so come home and sleep.  I also have a rheumatologist appointment at 1:30.  They have moved so I will need to plug in the address to waze to get directions.  I do hope she is on time more than she used to be.  At one time she was, then she wasn't.  

I bought Peony winter socks.  She wouldn't let me put them on her.  She kept pulling her cute little paw away.  She was basically saying no no no.  A thousand times no!!!!  She loves going on walks and has lost a lot of the excess weight so this would make it easier for her to walk when it is colder out.  No, not my dog, she says no.  I will not wear them.  Too bad human!!!!!
