Yeah for curlies! I enjoy mine.

Do you know the style of yoga you were practicing? Curious and if it benefitted you,even better

I really have no idea of what kind of yoga it was. It was a type that we just stood in a position for a while until we couldn't do it anymore and then tried another position. It may be yoga in name only. I don't know. It was cool because of the muscles I was discovering that I didn't know I had. Cheesy

Man oh man,I can't believe so much time has passed since I last wrote. It's been very busy with my mom on vacation. She'll be back maybe tomorrow,just in time for the MS Walk on Sunday,too.
Between always checking the burner,setting the alarm and just making sure all is ok in her part of the house,it hasn't left me much time for computer stuff.
Anyway,washed my hair today with Biolage hydrating shampoo and condtioned it with Biolage Hydrating Balm. Air dried while I took the dog to the vet for her annual shots. Even got a $100 pledge from the vet for the MS Walk. WooHoo! Grin

So far all is quiet with the pup...Last year she was soo sick after her shots,she really scared me. So far so good.
I came home with Access-A-Ride(I call it Stress-A-Ride) they took me there too. Put my hair up in a top knot with ketylo sticks and kicked back to relax. Hair feels good and loose curls. I'll braid it later.
Made Salmon for dinner and had some spinach with it. All is good.
Still debating about doing that trim.............I'll either have to do it or not,time will tell................
later

Well,so much for the MS Walk. We didn't go because Grandma is in the hospital and it doesn't look good Sad

. I haven't gone,but those that did say she doesn't look good. I say,"you don't know Grandma!" She wants to make it to 100 and we have "plans" to sit on the porch and go for a ride in the wheelchair and my scooter. The hospital is about 1/2 hour away and she's in that one because that's where her doctor is assigned. I'm afraid to go to see her #1 because I don't want to see my Grandmother in that state and #2 I'm not sure what it would do to me regarding my MS symptoms. I can say that I can handle this,but it MS decides to rear it's ugly head and cause an exaserbation,well then I'll be pissed! Angry

Either way,I'll know more later. It's pouring rain here so I'm in now with the pup who is recooperating from the vet's visit on Friday for her shots. Life goes on.........

Thanks you Angel! I'm hoping for the best and maybe expecting the worse. Do you ever get the feeling that if you tell them they "promised" you to sit on the porch or go shopping with you or have tea or coffee with you that that will make them want to recover??? I just want to tell her she "promised" and so did I and maybe things will turn around. Wishful thinking??? Undecided

I'm working on the rain for you Grin

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I will say a pray for her that she can live to her goal and the two of you can sit on the porch together and go for your rides!

I'm also sorry that you were not able to make the MS walk. I know you were looking forward to it. If I can get my ankle rehab'd fast enough, maybe I can do the MS bike ride for you this spring.

Can't say that I ever had that feeling, no. It might give her something to strive for, but it also might make her feel guilty that she couldn't keep her promise if things take a turn for the worse (which I hope & pray they don't). Of course, you know your grandmother better than I do, so it's your call.
I hope for the best for and you and your family.

There are chances of isolated showers here throughout the week, but...I want thunder & lightning, dangit! Grin

Thank you ladies for your thoughts and prayers

I went to the hospital today and Grandma was quite lucid Grin

I reminded her of the porch and she said she remembered and she promised that we would "sit on the porch,breathe the air and have coffee. She even wants to paint my nails Grin

The pulmonary Dr. must have given her something good cuz she was better than the day before. We had a very nice conversation and my mother was shocked that she wanted to talk to me so much. She even barked her orders for me to stay put when the nurse came in to check on her.
I tell ya it's a big relief and I am hopeful that she can come home soon. No one knows when,but I told her she has no choice,I'm waiting. She said she didn't want to disapoint me. I will tell her you all are praying for her and I'm sure she will say God Bless you all. That's Grandma!!
BB,thanks for wanting to do the ride for me,I appreciate it! If you're up to it I hope the wind is at your back and the sun shines on your face(but not too strong,we don't want you burned)
Well,it's been a busy long day and I am pooped! Thanks again for all your well wishes!

Thanks,BB. It really made me feel better. Sounds like of strange,weird and selfish that I should feel better after seeing her. I went to make her feel better! Oh well,I think that's what Moms and Grandmothers do

Anywho, one of my aunts came in from North Carolina to see my grandma while my mother is trying to feel better with her back. We went to a Rumatologist(spelling?) and thank God she doesn't have it,but she's on Prednisone and some other stuff and seeing the Chiropractor. I didn't want to tell her about the Prednisone,but just a few of the details of what it does. Needless to say she is not a happy camper Shocked

She had a couple of negative things to say about it,but hey it's only for 10 days and hopefully will give her relief. I told her just wait until I can get her on the mat for a yoga class and I'll fix her right up Grin

Well,my mother is a worse patient than my grandmother!!! Roll Eyes

Thank God her meds. knock her out most of the time Grin

She is her own worst enemy!!!
Anywho,Grandma is being released from the hospital tomorrow morning. WooHoo Grin

She really rallied and the meds are doing their job at clearing up this infection in her lungs.
I did manage to find time to get a trim today. Don't know if I'm happy with it. It looks better,but I don't know if it's good. The ends are starting to curl instead of relaxing. Could be the weather though. I'll know better after I see it tomorrow morning.
Just for fun I measured it when I got home and even though I had a trim it measured 33 inches. Either I'm not measuring correctly or I should just let someone else measure. I'll see what the number is at the beginning of May. It is possible that it did grow maybe a half an inch or so.
The "pup" is just fine after the groomer's yesterday. I think it was all just too exciting for her and she needed to have "down time". Birds all well,too.

Today is a good day. Supposedly Grandma is coming home from the hospital!!! Yippee!!! Can't wait to go and see her.
The mailman brought 2 pairs of LL sticks today! Another yippee!! Grin

They are beautiful! Spinning Tanzanite is one of them and the other is Glimmering Rose(I need to double check on the name of that one). Very pretty. Can't wait to try them out. Now all I am waiting for are the other two pairs of LL sticks,a pair of stainless steel stix from Ron,ketylo sticks and a two pronged hair pin from Emily. I've had way too much fun this week!!! Guess I needed my spirits picked up after the grandma ordeal. Thank God she's coming home!
