Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I hate balance issue stuff. My brother's was awful and mine is awful as well. The more they try to work with you and assess the slower they make you go and the worse the balance until you feel a feather in the wind. Such an odd brain thing. To be more weight that ever I was at 140 or so, and still feeling lighter as I fly around on the buses as they start and stop. Eye things ADD to it as my right eye is wonky and my brain adjusting right and left is ridiculous to the extent my eye exams are always "Gee, your eyes are so much worse this year" and then a year later "Wow, so much better than last year!" Right! Aging is a nightmare and I've no courage for it.
Happy that the llamalover is back with us. Wishing need would show her face because I can't relax unless she does.
And on we go.
So glad for you.
All went well even if it took some months
So good they take furniture.
Hope R will see specialists soon and improve some or little more every day.
Glad the house is settled .
Sorry about R’s persistent symptoms .
Make sure he drinks enough . Dehydration can make those symptoms more bothersome .

I've already sent the necessary documents to the lawyer. Possession day is Oct 7th. They will take all the furniture that is left in the house which is a great blessing. We were going to drive up to take the plants etc, but I am thinking I will leave the plants and get someone to bring down the last few things which are not much (a few pictures on the walls). I can send the keys I have up the my realtor. Most of them are already in the house.
R had his assessment and they were concerned about his eyes and balance so he needs to see some specialists - eyes, head and neck injuries, maybe more. It's just over 2 months from the accident and his eye issues and dizziness are still there to some extent. He functions very well, has no problems when sitting down, or on the computer unless he stays on it too long, but does have them when standing and walking at times (like down stairs) though not that I notice around the condo or when we are out walking.
Anyhoo - thank goodness the house is sold and I don't have to keep paying those bills and getting people to look after it, The strange thing was that we got a much higher offer yesterday, but it was too late. I had already signed and the buyers met the conditions.
Such a busy time for both of us!!!
Glad you are home and well cared for.
You must be so happy !!
Which makes me worry more about her health issues, with that stress.
That was pretty much her last few post.
At my age it is so confusing. We had a here i am and an i am here. One of them went off to ER with abdominal pains and was never heard of again, and one left. Which one are you?
I think it is more random chaos myself--life, that is-- though snowflakes and cut cabbages and have some very intricately sculpted patterns. If you watch the life of a single cell it is really quite intricate as well. It's anyone's guess, I think............
I wonder...
Maybe it's true.
Here I Am

One day after my youngest son had died and the funeral and paperwork was dealt with, I sat alone in a house that felt very empty. But really the hole was in my life, my heart, and I knew it would never be filled again,
So what now?
I saw the kitchen floor needed sweeping so I got the broom and swept it, and life went on. There were times when I lived from moment to moment like that. Those times became less and less. I learned to live around the hole in my heart.
My dd is being treated for stage 2b breast cancer. Though she is doing well, we both have acknowledged that it could come back.
But we don't dwell on it.
Today, as she is fine, life is too precious to spoiled by worrying about the future. It took some work and faith to get to this mindset, but it is well worth working on. Otherwise you lose today in the negatives of the past and the worries of the future.
R has prostate cancer and after cryosurgery it returned so he is on therapy to slow the growth. We both know that this treatment may not work, though the odds, as with my dd, as good.
But we don't dwell on it.
We live today making good plans for the future - to do things we want to do. Life is going on. In the back of our minds is the awareness that things may not work out as we would like. We are realists, but that awareness does not rule our days,.
Matthew 6:34 is “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
John 16:33 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
I used to worry about my health, getting cancer, heart attack and so on. One day I realised i had spent too much time and energy on the worry, which accomplished nothing good, and spoiled the day, so I did the sensible thing and, for the most part, stopped worrying. I recommend breaking that worry habit.
