My shoulder surgery is this coming Tuesday, Aug 16.
I have an appointment with my back doctor on Aug 24.
We'll start talking then about X-rays, MRI's, and surgery.
Hopefully I will have my back done before Christmas.

God has really blessed me with these opportunities to get better.
Trusting in Him for a good result.
:D


Adding you to our prayer list CC. Rejoicing with you in God's good blessings and believing for your total healing. What a wonderful Christmas gift to be whole physically and stronger to enjoy every moment of the holiday.

Are there any tree mulching places in your area? The ex used to mulch the yard with the stuff for that "all year Christmas" aroma. Didn't do much for my allergies though. Hachoo! You could plant some houseplants with it. Can't vouch for cats. My cats with the ex didn't pay it any mind at all. Since her walkabout, Zelma however eats anything green including Christmas tree branches with needles. We grow cat grass for her, so we can't have any other plants since she is now "allowed" to eat green things.


No Jolly there are no mulching areas here. Real trees are imported in late November - usually after Christmas due to the heat. They used to let us pick up loose pine needles but passed a city ordinance banning that about a decade ago. They claimed it reduced the profit of the tree sellers. My cats love the smell of a real tree!! Otherwise it is a very good idea. I I just ordered a live wreath online for Christmas so any falling pine needles will go on our tree!! :rabstar:

Huh. :think: That's disappointing. The catalog I got is really thick so I assume it's a yearly catalog. It's not specifically Christmas but has Christmas stuff mixed in. You might have to check it out online. Maybe they'll send you the good catalog quick. :D

Macy's announced they will be closing 100 stores. That's sad news for their workers. I do a lot of online Christmas shopping there. :shop:

Macy's closed two stores here several years ago. The economy cost them severely. Goodbye Christmas at Macy's. That is very sad. :cry:
