Hello to everyone. Well Nicole it looks like there will be a delay in my moving. Went to the Rheumotologist yesterday. Not good news. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and a high level of inflammation in my body. I go for blood test December 26th ( a lot more than the 11 vials they took the first time!). He is putting me on cortisone shots and wanting to do a vein biopsy and
some other tests. I will delay putting my home on the market until I get the results of all the tests and he said he would put all the information on a disk to be given to the doctor in Idaho. My son and a friend are taking a truck filled with stuff up to his new home on December 27. He will then have a moving van load up all his furniture and stuff and take it to Idaho Things didn't quite work out as I planned but it seems as if they never do. Wishing you and all my friends HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Mine will be quiet. Thank You for checking on me. I hope that Santa is good to you because YOU deserve it. โค๏ธ

Cadee @Cadee2719. At least now you know the name of your ailment and it isn't some obscure thing that they haven't heard of before! You know the drill...a step at a time. You have an appointment coming up, the testing will be done, and the results will give you a roadmap for treatment. Idaho is still on your horizon and you will have the disk to share with your new doctor. It will be a relief to know you don't have to start back at square one.
Flexibility seems to be a component we really need at this stage of life! The best to you this holiday season Cadee!โค๏ธ๐ค

Thank You Marcy. You ALWAYS put things in the right perspective. I WILL get the eye surgery 1/9 and I WILL get all the tests required to find out what I need to do to eliminate the pain. I agree, Flexibility is certainly a requirement at this stage of life. After dealing with all the pain that my husband dealt with, I have no cause to complain. I wish you a holiday season of Peace and Contentment. I can see you singing in the choir and surrounded by people that love and respect you. โค๏ธ

Cadee @Cadee2719 , that is what I thought it was!!! Girl, as we AGE, those "old folks" stuff TRY (note word try) to TAKE OVER. ๐ค
I am doing BOTH Florida and Virginia as like MC @mc6844 and Marcy @MarcyW882921 had said - transistioning over "things" to ANOTHER STATE TAKES TIME. ๐
So RELIEVED you now KNOW and can now MOVE FORWARD with FIXING your body.
YOU WILL BE WELL SOON!!!!
Lol, the DREADED "holidays" ๐ญ, but like WE ALL know - our love ones are ALWAYS with us.
The FREE movie "The Secret" has made a HUGE difference in my life. I cannot wait for their DAILY DEVOTIONAL to arrive on December 29th. ๐๐๐
Thank you for stopping by... ๐๐๐

Thank You Nicole. I agree, getting old is a "journey" but better than the alternative.
I am glad that "The Secret" is helping you. I will look for it to watch. How much time are you spending in Virginia? Will you spend Christmas with you daughter? I am hoping that my grandson will come to visit. I put flowers on my husband and son's graves yesterday. The cemetery looked beautiful with all the flowers, and little christmas trees and other decorations on the graves. The wind knocked down a lot of the poinsettia plants on the graves, so I spent a little time setting them all back up. Nicole, Thank You for all that you do. Wishing you Happy Holidays. โค๏ธ

Hi Cadee @Cadee2719 , I travel back to Cave Spring, Virginia WHENEVER my daughter is "traveling" = girl is NEVER home it seems and as you already KNOW - I HATE Florida/lol ๐คฃ๐
She is BACK from her Mexico Trip THIS WEEK - so I am back in Florida. ๐ญ
Nope, she will spend Christmas with her Extended Family. As I AGE (yes, old ๐), I AVOID the "drama" of the holidays. She on the other hand luvs to be in the "midst" of her Extended Family and/or Friends. I let her = she knows I am okay! ๐
Yes, the movie THE SECRET has ADDED so much to my "mental" state and EACH DAY, it gets BETTER... ๐๐๐
Marcy @MarcyW882921 said she READ their DAILY DEVOTIONAL - so I am looking forward to "chatting" with her when it arrives.
I AM SO PROUD of you and know you INSPIRE me with your CAN DO attitude.
Have a PEACEFUL Christmas ๐ ๐๐คถ

GOOD to hear from you Allen @Therapist4u ๐๐๐
We both had moved to Virginia from Florida in 2015. She hated Virginia, moved back to Florida in 2018. I stayed - LUV the 4 seasons, the mountains. Since she is NEVER home, I "hang out" in Virginia when she travels. Living in BOTH states, with Virginia being my main state and Florida my "old age" state = setting things up, making sure all my medical, will and so on is good to go. At age 65, I should have another 20 years left if I follow my mother's footsteps.
๐คถ๐ I hope Santa brings you some "neat" stuff.... ๐๐๐

Hi Allen @Therapist4u !
I kept my CUTE Studio Apartment in Cave Springs, Virginia along with the OTHER Old Lady (2006 Hyundai Elantra). Studio is month-by-month.
In Florida I rent a CUTE cottage on a month-by-month agreement while I DECIDE where I want to live in Florida. Lol, got FAMILY FROM H.LL all over Florida - mine and my daughter's "deceased" father's. Got to find a location I can "hide".... ๐๐คฃ I knew NO-ONE in Virginia!!! ๐๐๐
I still "work" as a Consultant (solve business "issues" for them, online and in real life - Tiny Houses For Seniors) and still do my thing in Cave Spring, Virginia while I RESEARCH Florida. Florida has CHANGED since I left in 2015 - expensive, homeless/illegals taking over and other drama. ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
At my age 65, LOTS of things to "set up" in case I drop dead right now. I DO NOT want my "only" child (precious daughter, my best friend) dealing with CHAOS!!!
She is also single and NO kids. So she luvs to travel, one of the main folks for NSBE, sorority, volunteers, friends and so on.
But IF I "need" her - she drops EVERYTHING for me. ๐๐๐
Our COMPROMISE, since she HATES Virginia (I luv it), I HATE Florida (she luvs it) = while I can, I am doing BOTH.
As I AGE, I will have to "stick" to FLORIDA (if she stays there, life is "unpredictable" as we know) when I am ready to give up DRIVING.
๐ ๐คถ Hmmm, I will find out TOMORROW if Santa had me on HIS NICE LIST. ๐๐๐

I've been struggling with sleep issues the last several days. Little to no sunshine effects me. Doesnt happen often. Grateful for that. Also missing best friend of 50 yrs. It's been almost a year. Sometimes it doesn't seem real that certain people are gone. But it's like he always said, that's the way it goes. And every day is different moving into the future. Every day we move forward.
