I am enjoying the recliner, although the massage function is sometimes annoying. The heat is toasty warm:)
I am sometimes able to relax and crochet.
I finally managed to get a photo of a Robin in our trees.
We had a busy Sunday...grocery shopping, some cleaning, some laundry and we each had our own projects.
We only have one medical appointment this week...so far. Practically a vacation!
Our weather was mostly cloudy with a high about 60 F. Not bad for mid April!

Phenology Geek That I am...
Saturday we ventured out with Ranger Blue to recycle paper and plastic stuff. We took a detour on the way home.
Far Guys visit with the dietician was helpful...he needs to eat more protein many times a day. She suggested that he eat 5 or 6 times a day.
My Rheumatologist had no suggestions or solutions for me...as I suspected. He said he hoped I could see the Neurosurgeon before May 30. Well me too! Since we have good insurance he wants to see me again in three months.
The new recliner that we ordered a few weeks ago was delivered...it has heat and massage and is very comfortable.
Far Guy went to the garage today and uncovered his old car Tilly. He must be thinking of Summer.
I did some laundry and odds and ends and crocheted some baby booties. I think I need to crochet more before my hands give out with the RA. I plan to make a number of blankets, one is in progress but I got distracted by the baby booties.

It was a busy week.
Monday: Injection into my SI joint left side...the usual sting like a bee...hold real still. About 48 hours after the injection I noticed some relief. Not a lot ...but some. The Dr. there thinks I have multiple problems...SI joint, L4 and L5, RA and PTLDs (Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome). Go figure. I am on the wait list to see the Neurosurgeon...right now my appointment is on May 30. Who knows when or if I can have surgery. Supper was BLTs and peaches.
Tuesday: A day off to catch up with the many things on my desk and a number of things on my mind. I sewed on buttons, put away some odds and ends properly. Supper was Pork Chops and Wild Rice.
Wednesday: I did the grocery shopping after I had a Dexa Scan...from the report it looks like my bones are better than in 2017. Who knew? Supper was Moons Over My Hammy ( Over easy eggs on bread topped with sliced ham and cheese and then grilled to perfection).
Thursday: Stopped by the Clinic and had Lab work...all is well there. Got the car gassed up and went through the car wash, and to the bank while Far Guy had his weekly infusion. He is finally feeling a bit stronger and is coughing less...he is walking and keeping track of his steps. I spent some time on the phone with some idiots at our Internet/TV provider who changed their billing software which caused a glitch in how I pay their bill. Of course they want me to pay using their system and not bill pay...I told them forget that crap. I do all the payments through bill pay at our bank. Dumb asses...they also asked me to rate their customer service...ya u betcha. Supper was salad and Impossible Italian Sausage Pie.
Friday: Far Guy has an appointment with a dietician to see what other high protein things I can feed him to gain back some of the 20 pounds he lost in the last year...10 pounds were lost just in March alone. I have a Rheumatology virtual appointment on Friday afternoon. I have little to no confidence in him. Right now I take Tylenol and THC Gummies for the pain. Supper will be Apple Pancake.
Not sure what the weekend will bring...other than maybe all the snow will melt in the yard.
We saw six Robins as we drove into our yard yesterday...I sat outside quite awhile in the evening hoping to hear or see a Robin...no luck...I heard a Crow and a Woodpecker. I am certain she who sees robins first saw the robins before me again!
