Greetings!  Another week with little to say.  The oral surgery went well Wednesday.  Got out of there in plenty of time before the boys came home.  The worst of it was getting the IV in.  The lady tried twice on my left arm and then went over and ended up using my right hand...pressing hard...and putting it into the swollen red arthritic joint at the base of my first finger.  (Still hurts more.) 

 

I think it was because I wasn't supposed to drink or eat anything for 6 hours before--which meant I hadn't had anything to drink since the night before.  I think I was dehydrated because I've never had troubles with all the many IVs and blood draws I've had these past few years. (Except for that one young guy who wasn't allowed to poke anybody more than two times--but I think that was inexperience--lol!)  Anyways...thank goodness I was out for the rest of it--lol!  

Been another recovery week--lol!  Ear was noticeably less painful even right after.  Jaw swelling is 

going down along with pain.  Still sticking with soft foods.  

Allie catching some rays.

The boys were down in the window well playing one day.  I had the shade down and I must have been sleeping.

I took the orange memory foam cushion out of the cubby hole in the cat tree as Allie never sits in there and put it back under hercat bed on the red chair.  Allie must have missed it!  She's preferred sleeping there all week--lol!

I asked Liam if he wanted to come down to help me with taking down Christmas cards.  Well, you know how he loves the magnets...he was down here in a flash.  The frig looks quite empty now by comparison to both sides being full.  But then I got a February card right after from Ann!  Always enjoy her handmade cards.  :)

Things are gradually improving.  I really miss the use of my sight, though.  Am hopeful things will keep improving.  R&R for me.  It will get noisier upstairs tonight.  Dagan and Leah always host a Superbowl Party.  Me.  I don't even know who is playing.  Pay no attention to sports rally--lol!   I know they will enjoy themselves.  I plan to watch the new season of Father Brown on BritBox.  I will enjoy myself also--lol!  Til next week.  Hope you enjoy the whole week!  

[Note:  I hit some key again this time and couldn't fix the sentences or spacing.  Not sure what I hit by accident due to depth perception being bad,  I'm sure I have more mistakes, but eye is having a cloudy day so I hope you can figure out what I meant--LOL!]
