Well, no fishing today...heard yesterday afternoon the area I wanted to go to is pretty sloppy â˜đ....Still have my other plan of treasure hunting too indulge in today, after we make a stop at Gundersen Hospital for a cast change. Still have a little while before she can shed this cast, that's one of the tougher bones to deal with when it comes to healing time involved.

What's really weird, if you'll notice they both have a boo-boo on the same arm, same area! My two favorite girls 😊

Ouch !! I broke the same bone in a car wreck when I was 20, the steering wheel got in my way, yeah I think I remember it taking a bit longer than others did, the itching drove me up a wall.

The itching, I've already caught her a few times with the butt end of a butter knife!

I used a coat hangar, not a good idea, your skin gets really soft & I had cuts all over my arm when the cast came off, guess I was lucky not to get infection. It remember it felt so good to scratch the itch though, it was driving me crazy !!

Well, cast is gone, replaced with a clamshell brace. Xray shows excellent healing, the new "cotton candy" growth (new bone) was quite visible. Dr. said it would take a really hard blow too rebreak it. No more falls! ðŸĪž

Screw Carpal Tunnel ! No more pain and I can sleep. Dexterity isn’t the best. I don’t know how she broke that. I hope they didn’t have to use screws or pins.

The "Bionic Man"  !! No pins yet but they want to put rods in my back, many different opinions from every Doc I talk to. Maybe $$ is the driving force ?? The Dr. I trust said to wit till the pain was too much then get the surgery, makes me a little Leary but at least I have a choice.

I wouldn't be too fond of the "wait for pain" suggestion myself! I suppose your choices are limited....

Yes the DR. said to wait because I may be in permanent or worse pain after the operation, just supposing things do go awry a little. Back surgery is a bit different, they want to put rods through 5 of the vertebrae in my lower back, at least partially fusing them, I really only went so far into the discussion. I have friends that wonder why they didn't get it sooner but I have a few that can barely walk, so I'm depending on the LORD to let me know "if" & "when" hopefully never !! Guess there are risks with any surgery, that's why you sign a waiver before hand, not for you but so you can't sue them if anything unforeseen should happen. Your insurance will cover you but $$ can't make you walk again. My hopes are high, everything has stopped progression for over 12 years now, so permanently I hope !!

Marbles will be in the new paint job for sure.

Wild idea, if you could make it work, but what about somehow placing/applying mibs into/on  the body? Some sort of image or design made out of marbles? Just a thought. Don't even know if that would look good or not. Wasn't sure how extreme you were thinking about getting with your makeover. Like I said, just a thought too display your love of glass 😊

The middle yard and backyard gardens since 4th of July weekend...it's a regular Jumanji out here! I've never had tomato plants this big...I'm right at 6'1" and these things are taller than me! Can only get my hands half way around the big ones...picking peppers and cucumbers regularly (cucumber for canning pickles and a poblano pictured)...compared to that pinwheel next to them, the onions are doing well...also pictured is an acorn squash, pumpkin and a baby watermelon 😊 I put the bee in the watermelon patch, paying homage to the gal who continously is out there multiple times daily self-pollinating them 😁...going too be a busy fall around here!

Tomatoes are good sized now out there (pictured with a nickel for size comparison)....someone wanted some fried green tomatoes! It's going to be crazy in the coming weeks because I'm sure most will ripen all at once. Some of the cucumbers that were picked yesterday also...

May I be a neighbor on the other side? Those veggies look delicious!
