FlowerBED, Right vs Left or Left vs Right Foot, The Bite, Passing Bad Genes,

 

The WILDFLOWER

bed is looking good.

  

 

The flowers are popping up 

already and they are 

growing fast. However, 

although what I threw out was

a mix of flowers that I mixed, only

two types of flowers seem to 

be coming up.

Last yr it seemed to take

FOREVER 

before things started to show,

so I am hoping different 

plants will find its way to 

the outside world.

 

Not only flowers, I have a couple

of these popping up also.

Funny, how things like this grow,

weeds grow, and yet I have areas

where I still can't get grass to grow.

Those of you that have been

following me for awhile know that

I am sort of like an 

accident just waiting to happen.

Well, this happened when I was

hanging brackets for the 

solar lights on the shed.

I dropped a bracket and on 

its way to the ground, it hit 

my right foot.

Here you will see the left

foot. The little sores happened

when walking around the 

yard in flippers.

Either a bug, or grass

brushed across my foot causing

me to itch and even though I 

keep nails really short,

I broke the skin scratching.

That however is a given, 

and not where I was going with this

story.

Pic below is of my right foot, 

bruised.

That bracket really hit

and had me saying a 

couple of choice words.

LOL...

But, the foot

adventure did not stop there.

Monday night Misty found

a grasshopper on the deck, 

which of course ended up in 

the house, which of course mom

had to rescue and put outside.

Coming back into the kitchen, Misty

did what she does all the time 

and very well, ran up to get 

in front of me, then slowed

down, in what time I stepped

on her.

This is what I got for

not seeing her and 

stepping on her.

She bit the shit out of me.

Keep in mind up near the toes

are the scratch marks I already

had on my foot, the marks

in the red patch, are thanks

to Misty. 

I cleaned it, perxoided it,

soaked in hot water with 

epsom salt and bandaged up

with polysporin on it.

Apparently, I did a good job,

no infection.

  SERIOUSLY!

Mom used to tell me that she could

put me in a padded room and I would come out

with bruises all over me.

With that said, she also used to say that

if anything "HEATLH" wise, 

that is odd, it would be me that

would get, have and whatever!

With that said, back in Aug. I had a 

genic testing done of a certain gene in

my heart. You see, my dads side of the family

carries that gene. I have traced it back to

my great granddaddy, grand, and my dad.

Apparently, my older brother Ray got 

that gene, his son got that gene and 

things moved right to my great newphew.

Because it runs heavy in the family

and Amber was having racing heart

issues, we wanted to know.

Because I am older and not

likely to throw up red flags when

looking for insurance it was best

to test closest to the source and me being

closer than Amber anyway, I was tested.

I DO NOT HAVE THAT 

GENE. Meaning, I can't pass on 

what I don't have.

Amber and Cory are fine,

Caleb, DJ and Braden are fine

and Felicity and Kyler will be

just fine.

On my moms side of the family, 

Alzheimer's. 

When my vit D, B and iron dropped

a tad to low, like dangerously low,

I had shakes, and I was forgetting

everything.

Nuro doc wanted to do an MRI.

That test showed no evidence

of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's (dads 

mom had this). YAY!

Another not something I past

to my kids, grands or greats.

Now, moms side also carries the

diabetic gene. I have it, under

control, no meds. My younger brother

went to the doc, they tested it 

was 8. something. High for a man

that eats right and exercises several

times a day.

Guessing he was just prone to get.

Point to this whole conversation...

Ray got dad's gene

Mark got moms gene

and 

I 

got

EVERYTHING 

ELSE that

can go wrong!

lol

She always told me that when the 

yell went out to tell everyone to 

get in line for body parts, I got

in the line where the parts were

being thrown out cause they were defected.

YEP....that's me,

defected body parts.

Gotta love moms!

With that said, I had

a doc appt. on Wed.

It was one of those things that

showed up on my patient portal

that it was time for my Medicare

wellness check. 

With that I learned that my 

bone density test showed improvement.

No longer considered osteoporosis,

I am back to the stage before that,

osteropenia.

WHAT?

Something going right for me?

haha..

For three yrs, once a yr I took an

infusions, Reclast. 

Apparently, that helped.

I also learned that women after 65.

do not have to have a pap smear anymore!

WHAT?

YAY!

Now, if I could be told no more

dentist, I would be happy.

Pap smear, no more open wide!

No dentist would be another 

open wide!

lol

Sorry, could not help it.
