WE love the Manh...I am amaxed at all you got done. WE love the Manhattan Transfer and would love to have seen their concert. We have only seen them live once, and that was several years ago. I hae neglected my blog. I was out of energy all the time since we came home from Washington almost a year ago. WE went out there to our Grandson Brett's Missionary farewell. (He is in the Ukraine)<br />About Thanksgiving, I discovered that I had some kind of urinary infection. When I went to our doctor, he gave me Cipro, but when a went back after two weeks, they took a culture, and Cipro was having no effect, so he gave me a prescription for some kind of mixture of two antibiotics that was so powerful I had to take acidophiles because the antibiotic was so powerful it would kill all the organisms in my gut. As that began to have effect, I realized that I must have had some kind of low grade infection for almost a year. I felt better every day, and all the back pain I have been having (It was so bad I was going to pain management and they we giving me cortisone shots directly into the spinal cord) .My shoulders (where I have no rotator cuffs) we less painful and I felt amazingly better. I was disappointed when I went back to the doc for another culture, and they said that it still hadn't cleared up, so they decided that I probably have a fistula that is sending bacteria from the bowel the the bladder (it is an e-coli infection) so I went to the hospital for tests, began taking cipro again and got a referral to a urologist and they took all kinds of inner pictures, then I went down to Savannah where they stuck a tube with a camera up in my bladder and decided that I don't have a fistula, and they gave me augmentin (which is a mixture of amoxicillin and something else. They now have a new culture and I have a new antibiotic, but I can't remember its name, I had never heard of it before. In spite of the tests, I still feel better than I have in ages. <br />Of course, I went out last week and was sweeping off the pool deck when I tripped or los my balance an took a header into the concrete floor and did wonders for my face. (bad enough that Jan says that when we go out in public she is going to wear a sign that says 'I DIDN'T DO IT") Stuart posted my picture on facebook, but I am too dippy to do it here).. Any way, getting old isn't for sissies is it?.

You must really enjoy it now. Just don't get to much Predisone (I have to take its "cousin" Predisolone every day) and it has lots of side-effects, but then I take it <i>per os</i>. Take care!<br /><br />PS Thank you for the nice comment! I feel all flushed up with your praise :-) . I'm just an ordinary amateur photographer who takes shots of whatever takes my fancy. And, of course, if you want to show my efforts to your family and friends, I would consider it an honour.<br />Rune Eidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008247272056395901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-21889692815194665122013-01-24T20:10:52.647-08:002013-01-24T20:10:52.647-08:00My Dear Darlene

I not only would of slept through it but probably would of been on the floor with a pillow. <br />Once again and I can not say it enough your an amazing woman. <br />I loved reading every word of this post but sad to hear your still in so much pain. I always have you in my prayers.<br />Please know honey that you made my day when I found you came by for a visit and left me the sweetest comment.<br />Yes I am so happy to think I might see Chad and Christi Saturday but it may not happen now because Christi text me this morning that she is sick with something. So many bugs going around you just never know. <br />Today it was 79 outside so I mowed and raked leaves. Now I am really tired but it had to be done the yard was looking so bad with these big oaks dropping so many leaves.<br />Funny in Texas it can be hot one day and freezing the next. <br />So glad I was able to come by tonight and read about your exciting adventures. <br />Boy do I lead a boring life. Too bad Nancy is not interested in this friend but if it's not there is not there.<br />I have a friend who mentioned fixing me up the other day and since I have not dated in five years I am not sure I can let her. Just would be so stressful. lol<br />Take care Darlene and I will continue to lift you in prayer. I want you to live pain free. I wish and pray that for both of us. After today I am beginning to think I may not be able to work out here another summer mowing. <br />I will leave it in God's hands and let him decide what and where I should be.<br />I think of you so much<br />Love ya<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-46864530852167995422013-01-23T21:15:28.880-08:002013-01-23T21:15:28.880-08:00Wow, you are amazing.

I do hope that you will be pain free soon. You are always in my prayers. I loved your story about the two Nancy's. It is awesome that you are able to be so involved with The Letterman and have been able to attend the events associated with them. I had a lot of fun reading this one. You know this is truly a wonderful journal of your life events. <br />Blessings, love and hugs to you!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-24112155295558375562013-01-23T13:56:33.924-08:002013-01-23T13:56:33.924-08:00This was so fun to read, but then I always enjoy r...This was so fun to read, but then I always enjoy reading about your life. We've had the twins since Sunday so I've been waiting for some time. That's good you got that blast and could then enjoy some of your outings, but so sorry you are in pain again now! You must feel a bit like Cinderella after the Ball. <br /><br />So glad you got to enjoy the Four Freshman concert! What an event that must have been.<br />I can only imagine what that wall looks like with Jim Pike's gold albums and records on it. How exciting that must be to look at that. <br /><br />I'm impressed with all the cooking Dick does. That must be so nice so you can enjoy your guests! Hope you can get some relief to your pain....<br />Grandma Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587160523698527979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-23058263171016101112013-01-22T14:16:59.257-08:002013-01-22T14:16:59.257-08:00Sounds like you guys had a great time.

I think being that busy keeps you young. I'm sorry you''re having all that pain. Oh, we're going to Portland,Ore in March for our grandson's baptism. I'm not sure what that has to do with pain, but it just entered my mind! Hope you get some rest and your MRI comes out OK. Take care Darlene.

I'...Wow Darlene, you did have a super busy week. I'm glad that you got some relief even though it was only temporary. Being in pain is so exhausting.<br />I wonder is acupuncture would help you.<br /><br />You all had lots of fun with visiting, but two concerts in the same day is a lot. I'm glad that your Letterman group is still of interest to you. It keeps you young at heart. <br /><br />A lot of bloggers are having problems with posting photos on their blogs and they upgraded to Google Chrome and it solved their problems. I wonder if it would help you with uploading your photos. <br /><br />I hope that you have a restful week after all that super active week. <br />Sending you some healing thoughts and prayers.<br />Hugs,<br />JB <br /><br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.com
