Indeed LK. At least I do have a bloom this year!
How are you sistah? Did Heather got 90% of what she needs for Dylan Marley? Kel loves that name cos he loves them 2 singers too.
Let me know what's lacking, I would love to send her something.

Sistahs, this good news I have MUST be shared.
Most of you know that I have bad neurapathy, due to poor circulation in my feet. This has affected my activity that involves walking or driving. 5 minutes of walking... 30 minutes of rest :( With a cane, extend that to another 5.
If driving.. the most is 30 minutes.

Some nights, I'd be screaming in pain and if Kel's home, he would massage the soles where the throbbing pain feel like knives cutting into them. Lyrica doesn't help. And if Kel's not around, only way to relieve the pain is to make sure my feet are flat on the floor.
So, you all can guess, that some nights I stayed up in pain.

It's so exasperating when you can't do simple normal long walks or just stroll in the mall!
Sometimes I feel like a zero when Kel is forced to slow down because of me.. just like this past Saturday at Tangiers. Few walking steps.. then lean against him or against a wall. Just to ease the pain.
So most of the time, if it's not Walmart shopping, I'll just wait in the vehicle for him.
Sunday, bad repercussion from that Saturday stroll. Hurt all day. I can tell you that my second fridge looks like a mini pharmacy, and nothing can stop the pain.

That continued till Monday....
Bless her heart. Synda had surprised me with this Shiatsu Foot Massager. When Kel brought the box to me, I was on the phone with her.
Instantly I plugged it, and SISTERS.... it's better than SEX!!!! (hope I don't get fussed by admin, as that's the only way I can describe the feeling)
The pain went away after a few minutes, and I didn't even turn on the heat!!
The GOOD news is....not only did I enjoy walking and working around the house, but I slept well for 2 whole nights!! This morning, I felt some pain and knowing we're about to do some WM shopping, I used the massager for a few minutes.
I didn't use the electric wheel chair today!!! Walked through more aisles, and it's so good to be able to push a buggy and NOT having to depend on Kel. Actually that's another blessing, as he'd add more junk to the buggy!!

Thank you, thank you Synda. Those deep massages my feet get from the rotating balls are totally miracle workers.

So that's the good news sistahs. I feel like I've won a million dollars!!!
