Time for some different news than my medical problems.
Last weekend I had my 65th birthday and had a wonderful time. My two daughters and their families made my day special. We went to Kelly's for drinks and watch the kids play. Then they took us (Allan's birthday is next month) out for supper to the Northern Lights which is a very nice resteraunt over looking a valley. Then back to Kelly's for a homemade carrot cake (made by Kelly. The girls gave me a beautiful necklace with my birthstone.
Scott and Jodi picked Saskatoon's and Raspberries for me which ment alot.
I managed to make a huge pot of borscht which Ry and Avery love, needless to say they were only able to take one jar home.
THANK YOU GIRLS.
On Sunday my brothers and sister came over in the afternoon with drinks and supper. What a surprise and a wonderful afternoon.
Thank you for the cards. gifts and food.
That to me was the best birthday ever.

Back to my boring life. Saw doctors last week. Again I was the big discussion at a conference. One doctor said he would to nothing more for me but my doctor and another said no, they would like to operate again using my bone for bone grafting put in a couple of screws and if my body does not reject my bone they would then take out the screws. They don't know how much nerve repair they can do for my legs but time will tell. I can take two more surgeries as long as there is some good outcome. I would be happ[y to get rid of this brace and be able to walk with a cane.
On a happier note the weather is warm, haying is going full speed and the saskatoons are hanging on the trees. Now did I say a happier note, maybe not. It is hard to find people to pick they just want to buy them already in the pails.

Update. I had another blood test yesterday and my blood was up 12 points, so no transfusion. Someone made a mistake as your blood count could not go up that much in 4 days.

I haven't blogged for a while so here is an update. I went to the doctor in Regina almost two weeks ago, had some fluid taken from my back and had a ct scan. I don't have any results.
We shopped for a new sofa for two days and finally found one that will work. The only problem is that we will not get it until the end of August. We also bought an upright freezer as I will never be able to bend over in the chest ones.
Well back to my medical problems. Had a call from my family doctor and my blood is low so I guess I have to have another blood transfussion tomorrow. There never seems to be an end to this. I have no idea when I will have my next surgery with this stupid strike that is going to put everything behind.
Well enough of all my troubles, hope everyone is having a great summer. I don't get outside very often so am not able to enjoy the sun.

Nothing much new around here. I fell again last Thursday and broke my foot, so a little hard to walk and now my arthritis has gotten worse since they took my off one drug. I think my like really sucks. Nothing is moving fast enough for me. Waiting to hear from my doctor seems like it is taking forever. On a happier note the sun is shinning but I can't get outside.

It has been a while so I thought I would update on my ongoing medical condition. Had been to Regina about a week ago and things are not too bad. Have to go for a ct scan and get some fluid drained off my back in the next couple of weeks. I am no taking my worst pills at night so I am not throwing up during the day and finally feel like living, except for the other end.
On a good note Allan's sister Linda and her husband Greg came out on the weekend and completely cleaned my kitchen, brought food, planted my flowers and the garden. The best part was having someone here to talk to, i tgets pretty lonely all day by myself. Thank god I have Kelly to talk to and Jodi's blog to help my through the days.
Well enough complaining, how about some comments.

Went to the doctor on Friday, everything seems to be coming along well. I have another appointment on May 28th. My potasium level was high so am taking more medication and it is finally starting to come down, will know more when I go for a blood test on Thursday.
Had a nice Mothers Day. Fred, Kelly and Josh came out in the morning, I slept in my chair all afternoon and then we went to Murray and Lee's for supper. My only problem is I have no desire to eat and when I do it is a small amount. Hopefully I will loose weight through all this.
