Here I Am!!

 My metabolism runs with the speed of a sloth! I fell last week. I think I may have mentioned it here. The cardboard I stepped on was slick from the rain and my right foot slid as I stepped down. I almost wish there was a camera up there, it would make it easier to explain the fall.

The foot I stepped down with slipped to one side and the rest of my body fell forward onto my knees and elbows. My right leg was behind me and twisted so that my foot was upside down. As I caught my breath and took a quick assessment of my situation, I unconsciously tried to pull my leg around and had to reach back with my good arm and yank my foot forward. Yes, it hurt, but wasn't unbearable. I was mainly concerned that I could stand and walk. I did not want to call the man with the aching tooth for assistance. He would call 911.

Since then my right foot has hurt in various places. Mainly the ankle objects to me standing and walking. But the strangest thing is that the bruises I would have expected the day after the fall just appeared. The pain when walking got worse early this week.

I say all this to tell you that I appear to hurt myself and then heal all in slow motion! Last Monday I ate lots of crab and shrimp ........ yesterday my big toe swelled and turned an angry red and throb. Gout. In slow motion. Gout usually rears its ugly head before all the evidence of over indulgence leaves one's digestive tract.

I was made aware of my new condition when Mr. BoJangles decided to lay down on my foot. My ankle is feeling better, but I am unable to play outside!

I have bruises just show up, with no idea how they came to be. Just as well that I am stuck on the couch since it has been raining until this afternoon. It was nice this morning, only 60, but the rain passed and left us hot and muggy with extra gnats and mosquitoes.

I wrote this last week, then for whatever reason, I was locked out of my own blog! And me with so much to say. I have spent all morning trying to get back to this blog. I had to access my new email account and finally it recognized me and after about 10 attempts, this finally popped up!! I have no idea what I did or didn't do to get here, but here I am!!!

Hot Diggity Dog!

  Although this is my very first post, I am not new to blogging. For years I have been sharing my good days, my bad days, and many calamities with those who cared to read my words.  Did I want to start a brand-new blog? Not really. Life sometimes gets in the way. I acquired a stalker along the way. She is relentless and will not go away. I have had readers who disagree with me and have even said some harsh things in comments. Eventually they seem to move on and let me be. Not this one. The easiest thing was to stop posting on my old blog and create a new one. So, here I am. My new blog name would suggest that I am excited. I suppose I am. That being said, the name is more like a tribute to my canine companion, Charming Eddie. Charming Eddie is a dachshund, hotdog, wiener dog, fat little sausage filled with love for me. My constant companion has inspired many a story. Not just him, but his canine and turtle siblings. Yes, I am Mom to 3 dogs and a turtle. If I had my way, there ...

I No Longer Care

  My dental checkup went well. He told me the bone graft will take another 3 months to heal completely. Then they scheduled my next visit with the oral surgeon to get started on the implant that will be on the other side of my mouth. Oh, goody. That will take 4 months to heal before the actual implant will be put in. Next week I will see the ortho about the shoulder. I have an idea ....... why don't they work simultaneously and do both procedures at once? Might as well make good use of the time I am under anesthesia, right? In other momentous events of the day ..... The temperature was rising when I came home, so I decided to take my jeans off and get something cooler to wear. That is when I discovered a lone sock, and a pair of my underwear had been in one pant leg the whole while I was out and about. Now I wonder if there was a lump showing somewhere on that leg and what those who saw it thought it might be. And that is when I realized that I l didn't care!

In My Opinion

  So, yesterday I posted, then took a short nap. Later I posted again, thinking it was new day. Says a lot about my ability to focus! Age or pain? Who knows? In my previous blog, I steered clear of politics. We were running a business, and I didn't want to offend prospects for that business. People who know me will tell you that I was in no way silent with my opinions, I was just a little bit careful about the people I shared them with. I didn't always choose those who agreed with me, as those lucky ones would tell you. I do love a good debate, after all. I have become more outspoken, as my livelihood is no longer an issue. I live in a pro-Trump area, but I seem to be able to find those who are like-minded. I have never thought Trump had the credentials to be a leader of a country. Never. I recognize the man for what he is. I have heard all the arguments in his favor and can counter them all with facts that prove otherwise. No deep research required, all you have to do is watch...
