My laptop took 45 minutes to boot up today. I must order a new one. Maybe I can wait until Black Friday.
The doctor still has me on Prednisone. It helps some of the pain but makes me hungry all of the time!!!
They started working on the deck today (11/11). Finally received my Federal refund which will pay for the work.
Still working on my list of doctor's appointments, tests and procedures. Still have not heard anything about my kidney surgeries. I need to call them again. Will be going for my diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound next week.
I miss all of you so much. Let me know what's going on in your lives.

You've been missed Linda but we understand how it is.
Take care of your health first. I wish everything will be well with you.
Can't wait for you to get back here.

So good to see you Linda!! Glad the Prednisone is helping but i know first-hand how hungry it makes you. I had to take it many years ago and forgot about the hunger that came with it until you mentioned it.
Good news they're working on your deck
Bad news that your laptop is taking so long to boot up. Maybe you can get a good sale on one Black Friday if you can wait until then.
Hope you hear about your kidney surgeries and can get that over and done with,
We miss you Linda!!

I know Prednisone made me hungry too, and I hated that.
I’m glad you’re getting your deck done; that will be very nice. I hope yiu can get these doctor appointments done too.
Nothing much is going on here except I’ve decided to change pain management doctors. I’m tired of his crazy shenanigans interfering with basic care. Linda, he’ll make a sane person crazy. Not that I’m sane.

Was this a tax refund? I wish I could get somebody to work on my deck. It is an issue. There is an agency around here that could do it, but they seem to have no interest. I did have some people who fixed my roof after the tornado I had that are really nice and charged about a third less than anyone else would but still, am certain it would still be in the thousands. Son says I should just have it taken done and put a patio in the back..but I do really like a deck.

Sorry it is taking so long to turn on. Hopefully you can find a good deal.
That's good that medication is helping the pain some...but sorry you are hungry all the time.
not much to share here

Laptops in general have gone way up in price. Check Amazon, a friend bought one there yesterday. It was on sale over $100 cheaper than Walmart.
I hate Prednisone, you are right it makes a person hungry. Have lots of low fat munchies available! That's good about getting the refund.
We all miss you, too.
