I was laying in bed last night and I realized I had not posted in almost a week !  Shame on me.

When I saw Cowboy on Sunday he was having difficulty walking even with his walker.  The aide told me she would suggest they always have an aide help him.  He isn't going to ask so I am not sure how that will work.  Just keeping a close eye I guess.

I spent Monday putting together an ad and some pictures of all my sewing stuff to sell.  Had Bunco Monday night.  Always a good time.

When I saw Cowboy on Tuesday he was doing a little better using his walker.  I went over early and we participated in the morning individual exercises for the fellows who sit around in the common area.  They have them raise their arms, bench their limbs, etc. 

The band practiced Tuesday afternoon.  We concentrated on what we are playing at the home next week.  That will be on the 15th.

I donated one of Cowboy's guitars to Kiwanis.  They are collecting musical instruments for the school music programs.  One guitar left in the house that is an inexpensive smaller one that I diddle with sometimes.  Can't do much.  Too much arthritis.

Wednesday morning I went to a town hall on slips and falls.  They had the EMS and some medical folks there to talk about ways to reduce your chances of falling.  It was interesting. 

Wednesday afternoon I had a friend take me to the Dr and I had my eyes "revised" as they called it.  It was an office procedure under local to get the skin around the corners of my eyes from folding in and literally "rolling up" my lashes and causing irritation.  I will look like I have black eyes for a few days I guess.  He commented on how deep set my eyes are and how "thick" the lids are.  Have dealt with this my whole life.  The kids  used to call me "little Chinaman" when I was a little girl because when I grin my eyes are nearly closed.

Am staying home for a few days til I look a bit more normal.  It is allowing me to catch up on some little odds and ends so is not a bad thing.  I have to sleep on my back for a few days and propped up so am not sleeping so great but I feel fine.  No pain or anything.

Didn't go to the home yesterday as I usually do on Thursdays.  Vision is a little blurry (normal) and did have some pain medication yesterday so better not to get on the interstate.

Called Cowboy and he is fine.
