Stinking hot and humid start to the week...... and didn't get much better as the week progressed.
Felt like a very busy week. Monday we were back and forward to the Optician's as where hubby got his eye's tested and where he got his glasses are two different locations and something was wrong with either his eyes or glasses. Long story short his prescription was wrong 😡 He has been fighting on with this for four months!
We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday at our family GP. That always turns into an all day job as it's over and hour away from where we live. Plus we try and kill two birds with one stone and visit one of two family members each time we go down. This time it was a birthday so had lunch there.
Back to the doctors visit. More tests and follow ups to be done. The older you get the more specialists, tests and meds you see to have to do or be on!
Wednesday we had to be up just after 2am as I had an MRI appointment for 4am on my back. Another specialist feels I have a trapped nerve in my back???? I had a herniated disc operated on back in 1998, and the pain I suffered then, does not feel the same as what little pain I am suffering in my back, but what do I know...LOL
Suffice to say we were both tired on Thursday. Missing sleep seems to hit us both the second day after; rather than that day?
Friday was a quiet day. Hubby golfed in the afternoon; I just puttered around.
Saturday the heat came back and the British football season started on tv, so that kept hubby occupied!
Doctor suggested we take bisglycinate magnesium so we started that on Wednesday. It may help with our aches and pains, along with helping us sleep better. Too soon to see any results; worth a try I guess? Do any of you take that?
I have managed 5 out of 7 days of walking this week, not the best but at least I am averaging over 5 thousand steps per day which is better than nothing considering how painful my foot is. The doctor is thinking arthritis in one of the joints on the top of my foot, but until I have the MRI in October we won't know for sure.
Then finally, I have been sewing this week. Actually, I was doing more of the prep work before I do all the sewing. I am making lanyards and soup bowl cozies. The lanyards involve a lot of ironing!! I will explain when all is sewn what I am up too.
This is how my sewing table is looking.........a mess, but an organized mess!!
This week went by fast, that's for sure.
