[1 comment]  Allen @Therapist4u and Jonibee @jonibee , you are BOTH dealing with WAY TOO MANY medical issues my friends.  😭😭😭  WE appreciate updates when you feel up to stopping by to see us.  🤗🤗🤗

[jonibee]

Once I know of what is the matter with the legs (Tuesday is the results of C-Scan) and what I can do and expect relief from the on going pain some sort of relief should be on the way.hopefully. It's hard living day to day as it gets in the way of doing things or if I push myself the next day I pay for it..I try to remain positive and not think of it as it gets in the way...Thank You for your thoughtfulness ...

CHECK UP TIME!!!  🙃

Ms. Idaho aka Cadee @Cadee2719 , any updates on your MEDICAL STUFF?  🤗🤗🤗

[Cadee2719]

  Good morning!  Called my rheumatologist's office Friday.  They are STILL waiting on the results of the blood tests taken on 6/21.  They said once they get the results they will schedule a tele-health appointment sometime in August.  I AGAIN explained that the medication I am on runs out July 8th.  This is six pills that I take to help eliminate the pain in my legs making it impossible for me to walk!!  So she moved the tele-health appointment up to July 11.  I will call on Monday to see if the cardiologist here received all the necessary paperwork to set up an appointment for me.  I have always dealt with HIGH blood pressure but now all of a sudden I am dealing with low (very low) systolic pressure.  Now that I am in a place that I love I am falling apart.  😂   I will continue trying to get in to see the doctors.  The diabetes doctor is next on my list.  I am hoping that once I see my new doctors, tests will be taken to help determine all that is happening.  It is always something, isn't it?  Thank You for checking on me.

[2 comments] Aha, glad AARP decided to deliver my emails so I KNOW you are giving me LOTS AND LOTS of kudos NOW. Thanks Allen @Therapist4u .

And how are you doing?  🤗🤗🤗

[Therapist4u]

Hi Nicole @Winter2025VA

I was about to comment on another email I got from AARP that says: @Winter2025VA mentioned you in a post! but since this is the most recent one I'll reply here.....

as you know, I’ve been saying that I’m not getting most of my messages in my email, even when someone ‘tags’ me....so...NOW...I’m getting bunches at once...however the image I’m posting here shows that on:

today, Jun 28....I was notified of your tag to me from 06-23-2024...that’s 5 days late...

 what’s up with that 🤔 ...LOL!!🙂

Anyway..I figured I should kudo you & Marcy @MarcyW882921 & MC @mc6844 & Cadee @Cadee2719 as I was reading posts.... a lot of heartfelt stories, info, reflections, viewpoints, etc. that are well written & interesting....

AMIRIGHT? lol!

 I’LL ADD MORE LATER , OK?

FOR NOW...

Stay safe....&...Take care!

[1 comment] ANY WEEKEND PLANS?  🤔

Me, nope - just try to survive it until Indians ABOVE me return to work on MONDAY!!!  👍👍👍

GRATEFUL my boy now stops by at 6am ET = got him trained = NO more me having to figure out HIS SCHEDULE. Then he stops by at about 8pm ET.  💃💃💃

[jonibee]

A quiet Fourth for me also have a consultation regarding recent C-Scan of legs..I came across a meaningful piece author unknown but worth reading..."When God pushes you to the edge, trust him fully because only two things can happen...Either he will catch you when you fall or he will teach you to fly"..Have a nice Fourth of July ..I probably will watch the celebration of the Fourth on tv at the Esplanade in Boston with the Boston Pops..

[Winter2025VA]

[she replied] MC @mc6844 ???

Hope you are okay  🤗🤗🤗

[mc6844]

[1 comment] Cadee @Cadee2719 , any luck with your Medical Stuff?

On July 8th I have my 2nd MEDICARE appt with my NEW doctor and will need to be tested for Diabetes or Circulation Issues. Diabetes runs in my family, Mom had it. My toes and toe nails decided to change to a DARK hue AFTER my 1st visit with her January 4th.  🙄🙄🙄

Anyway, yours truly [me] looked it up ONLINE = diabetes or circulation issues.  😱😱😱

Then my 1st Bone Density in November. Yes, backlog - doctor requested in January. Got the DREADED Mammogram done.  👍👍👍

TODAY at Walmart, bought Mr. No Name a bed which I put in a HUGE plastic container for rain on its way. Lol, now to see IF he uses it once Ms. G is really gone. Apparently she has moved but son here every day packing. Cat Bed and Front Porch stuff still in place.

Luv you VERY MUCH,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[MarcyW882921]

[1 comment] Oh my goodness, is this our VERY BUSY aka Bionic Marcy @MarcyW882921 ??? She stopped by and it has not been her usually Weekly Visit!!!  😱😱😱

On the serious side, thanks Marcy and today again - NO Dalinda.

Lol, you got some Valium? It has been one day from H.ll with the Indians who live above me.  🤣😂

Luv you my friend,

[MarcyW882921]

That's terrible that you are being disturbed by the activity above you! You might need to find a peaceful nature escape until their bedtime.🤔

[1 comment] Lol, yes I DO Cadee @Cadee2719 and have HIS FOOD on my Grocery List for TODAY!!!  😂🤣

  I am amazed that he came inside already.  I use to get feral cats fixed and would feed them. I had one that came back for many many years to visit me BUT would not allow me to pet him, nor would he come into the house.  One day I see this sick, old cat at my door looking in at me.  It was Whitey.  I tried to feed him and put out a warm bed with a heating pad in it.  He just stared at me.  He was so sick.  He laid in the bed I made and within 15 minutes he died.   He came home to die.  Our family was the one on the street that people brought a turtle they found, a bird with a broken wing which we healed, a rabbit, a lost dog, cat.  We took care of them and in some cases found their  owners. This taught my kids to be patient, caring and to have empathy for those in need.  I had two indoor cats and when they died I decided that I cannot go through more loss in my life.  As much as I love animals I don't think I am brave enough to get another.  I am so glad that you are taking care of this cat.  I pray that you will find a place to live that will be quiet and peaceful.  ❤️

My Walmart Out Of Food Run today. I have NOT seen Employee Dalinda since BEFORE Memorial Day. HOPE her a Camping Trip went well.

Everyone FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[MarcyW882921]

Nicole @Winter2025VA ,

I'm sorry you haven't seen Dalinda for awhile. I hope she is OK and her camping trip was enjoyable.

I found out yesterday that my neighbor was in the hospital. I stopped in to cheer her up on my way home from my dental appointment this morning. It is so beautiful when you can bring a smile to someone's face who is facing life's challenges!

[1 comment] Finally!!!  🙄🙄🙄

Lol, you had stopped by when I could NOT post.

Aha, I see my BEGGING finally paid off = you stopped by.  💃💃💃

ENJOY your Monday Marcy @MarcyW882921 .

NO PRESSURE as usual, but IF interested I am heading to post directions on how I post pictures here.

Anyone heard from Marcy @MarcyW882921 ???

Luv you SO MUCH,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[MarcyW882921]

Happy Monday...I'm still here! It was a very busy week with rehearsals and performances. A creepy migraine tried to spoil the fun, but I managed to work through it. I started this week with a couple of volunteering activities yesterday. A dose of gratefulness for all that we have is good for the soul!

Marcy

[Winter2025VA]

Today is my day to stop by the Kroger Customer Service down my hill to cash in my WINNING Lottery Scratch-Off Tickets.

Lol, I don't shop there - just cash out.

Tomorrow is my Weekly Grocery Trip to Walmart. I TRY TO AVOID their AWFUL Customer Service Department when I can.

Everyone FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[2 comments] SO GOOD to hear from you Ms. Idaho aka Cadee @Cadee2719  💃💃💃

Yikes, Mountain Lion!!!  😱😱😱

Lol, oh NO - I look out my door before I step out to check for snakes here in Virginia. And I do not care IF they are friendly/lol  🤣😂

They say Black Snakes are harmless and good for the environment. Well good, but they NEED to be somewhere else, thank you. When I go outside to feed Mr. No Name, I have my SNAKE SHOES on. NO sandals. My feet are covered up.

Oh my goodness, I wish you would post pictures of your birds. I bet that is one BEAUTIFUL site.  👍👍👍

I am SO SORRY about your medical stuff and that is one thing I am NOT looking forward to = changing states. Lol, was TRYING to convince my daughter to return to Virginia but NO - declared she left Florida ONE time and NOT repeating. She was born there and she needs to be their Poster Child.

Luv you SO MUCH,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗
