You Know You're Older When...........

Friday was Mike's birthday and I have been gone all week. I planned on coming home early Friday so we could go to a really nice Italian restaurant that we like in Alpena. So I get home- I've been to a funeral, I have a severe headache, and my sinuses are completely clogged. But we are going to have a nice dinner and have fun.

First - we left too early beacause when we get there it is only 4:00pm - too early for dinner. So we drive into Alpena and look around. Mike starts feeling like his blood sugar is dropping so we stop and he runs into K MArt to get glucose drink. Okay so now we travel on and he starts feeling a little better.

We figured we have spent enough time driving and head back to the restaurant. It is very lovely. We have our salad (they make a great Italian salad with their special house dressing) and warm Italian bread.

Next our dinner arrives and even a half order is too big, but it is very good.
Mike starts feeling funny - warm and jittery. I tell him to go to the bathroom and splash some water on his face. That helped a little but he just wanted to get outside. I get our waitress to pack up our food and away we go. I drive home.
We get home - Mike goes to bed. My head feels like a huge balloon, so I decide to go to bed too. You know I really don't feel good if I go to bed while a Red Wing game is on.

So that was our special night out for Mike's birthday.

No Bones About That!

Haven't written lately because I've been too busy trying to destroy bones in my body. As Robin mentioned in her blog, I broke my rib down at her house - just trying to be a good Mom and Grandma - I was putting Lilly in her crib for nighttime and because I'm just a little short, the rail of the crib plus her activity center pushed into my rib. I could feel that it hurt but didn't think anything of it until every move I made and every breath I took caused a sharp pain that wouldn't go away. So xrays confirmed what I already knew, a nondisplaced fracture of the distal 8th rib. My bones have decreased so much that it doesn't take much. I just had my bone density done - and come to think of it, last year right after I had my bone density done, I had two compression fractures of my back. I guess that the best preventative is not to have a bone density done.

I'm off to see my osteoporosis specialist tomorrow because of the recent events. So we'll see what else they will put me on or have me do.

I'm really tired of all this. It seems that every time I start getting ready to walk and be healthy again, something happens.

Oh well - sorry for complaining!!
