Gayle, I hope you don't mind if I pick your brain a little bit. Does Gary have to take a medication with his injections? The medicine I have to take is called Gabapentin. I started off with 1 for 3 days and then 2 for three days and then 3 for supposedly a month. But, when I had my injection, he upped it to 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. When I'm about to run out, he's going to give me something different, but didn't say what. I go see him again on Thursday for a check up after the injection.

So far I'm not feeling any pain at all. I do feel something kind of in the back of my arm pit, not sure if it's part of the nerve or what because I do feel a tingling every once in a great while. Dr did say it would/could take a few days or so. I really didn't think he'd keep me off a week from the bus. But he is, my guess is the bouncing around in the bus. I'll be able to ask him questions better on Thursday than I was on the day of the injection. He did give me something to relax me.

It's too cold to go do anything so I'm doing laundry....thrilling! I'm so envious that you can be out and picking weeds....lol. I wish it would hurry and get warm here. I got spoiled those couple of days when the temp got up to 69 degrees.

Doesn't look like we'll be able to do much this summer as far as entertainment. Gas is now at 3.99 here. Can't believe it. Sure wish we could be drilling for more of our own oil and not depend so much on others.

Ricky is still wanting to move. He just drives me insane, because he doesn't think ahead. The place he is moving to is a two story, but one bedroom. The one bedroom is upstairs with what I would call a foyer type area off to the side. That is suppose to be the room for Ricky. They are building a wall and putting in a door that will lock with a key. Ricky wants to take some things over before the wall is done because it might not fit in the door. WELL....not a good idea as far as I'm concerned. I ask "how will you get it out if things don't work out" and he says "I'll worry about that when the time comes". So I told him he wasn't taking anything from here until the wall and door were installed. He could take what would fit through the door. Which means....he will have a very hard time getting a box spring up the stairs and through the door.

My thinking is since his friend is living there....move his stuff into that room, he won't have to worry about getting it out. I still don't think he can afford it, even with the new job, because now he'll have to pay for more gas to work in Lafayette.

We aren't discouraging him, just want him to have his eyes wide open. He'll only be about 5 miles away so it's not like him moving to another town or state, but we want him to succeed. We won't be able to help him financially if things should falter for him.

Well, just heard the dryer buzzer so better go fold some clothes before they get all wrinkled.
