A first

 I enjoyed a first.  I know everyone has most likely done this before.

I do not drink coffee.  However I do drink hot chocolate!  The Eye Doctor that we go to has a Starbucks machine...who knew. 

The hot chocolate was really good.  Yes there is a Starbucks in town but I have never been there...who needs one when you can just go to the eye Doctor!

Now if Starbucks had good old egg coffee I might be tempted to go there.  I gave up coffee when my blood pressure when out of whack and to avoid the medications... it worked for a few years until it didn't.

More snow

 We had more snow overnight on Wednesday and into Thursday...about 10 inches total.   The roads are fair for driving conditions on snowy icy roads.  A few days of sunshine will help melt the roads. 

I took Far Guy to his Infusion appointment, I waited in the parking lot while Far Guy had his infusion.

I am feeling less pain after my back injection...fingers and toes crossed that it will be helpful for a while.

Suppers lately...hamburgers and French fries, chicken and wild rice soup with Gluten Free Red Lobster Biscuits and tonight is tacos and Far Guy's dip:)

I watched Song Sung Blue on Peacock TV and really enjoyed it...in fact I may watch it again.

Friday is a day off of medical appointments!!

Cute designs

 Some of the dish towels have cute designs. 

Finishes # 4 and # 5. 

I had a procedure yesterday and must take it easy for a little bit. I had injections into my back that were not without pain.   Far Guy and Jen are taking good care of me. 

We got about 6 inches of snow after a hard rain.

Threads

 Embroidery threads are part of my recent days.  

I brought ten dish towels with me to be embroidered over the Winter.  Five are done...so I am making progress.  Slow but sure.  

Far Guy is doing good...he is back on the treadmill and doing at least 5,000 steps a day.  He has his sense of humor back and that is a relief.  We are waiting for the genetic testing to come back on his Thyroid Nodule biopsy.  He has two nodules inside his Thyroid...one is benign and the other is questionable hence the extra testing that takes weeks.  

We had breakfast for supper..we all cooked!  

Minnesota weather: High 42F or 6C  Low was 32F or 0C eh!

Roses

 Andy gave Jen roses for Valentine's Day!

They are lovely and smell good too.

Monday appointments are done, I had a recheck with my Primary Care Dr and then in the afternoon I saw the Pain Management Doctor.  They want to try one more injection in my back before trying a implantable device.  

What ever lets just get this show on the road.  FYI it was a two month wait just to get to see the Pain Management Doctor.

I have one more appointment this week and Far Guy has two.  

We have wicked weather coming in soon.  I suspect our February thaw and nice weather with bearable temperatures is over.
