Well, it figures that guys would do only alittle work!   The plumbing was not done!  Mark said he needed to figure out how to do the job,get the supplies and then do the work.  I understand that,but he already looked at the work last week!!!   So he'll do it next Sat.
The visit with my father went as planned.  He didn't have the photos out that I wanted to see to learn about my father's family.   It was expected that would happen though.
My sister once again annoyed me,stressed me out and just plain aggravated me!!   Again, no big shocker there!
I did get an e-mail from one of the MS sites that I get and got the news that the drug that is supposed to help with walking got FDA approval!!!!  It was supposed to get approved on my birthday in October,but the FDA dragged their feet, as usual!  So now the fun begins with trying to get my doctor to get me this drug to see if it will help me with my gait.  Fingers crossed!

The computer monitor and speakers came yesterday.  I didn't open them and neither did C.  We weren't in a festive mood.  I had gotten a phone call from my mother in S.C. and thought it was strange she was calling me again yesterday when I already spoke with her that morning.  Ya know when you get a phone call that isn't good news just by the calm tone of someone's voice????  Well,she said don't panic,everything is ok, M(my brother) is ok,but he's in the E.R. at the hospital.  A light fixture fell on him when he was on a call this morning!   My brother is a firefighter.  Tears immediately welled up in my eyes and I was very upset.   My family tries to tell me things carefully because of the MS and the effects the stress from it has on me.Funny though, cause the worse a situation is;the calmer I get!
One aunt that works with my sister in NYC were on their way to the hospital, another aunt in NJ was coming in, a cousin that works close to my house left work to go.  I called the hospital and got some run around,but some nice lady in the E.R. told me he was ok.
My aunt from NJ called me and put my brother on and all I heard was, "Hello, Sis.  I'm ok.  I'll call you later when I get home."  Those were the best words I had heard in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!   He of course didn't call and I didn't call him because I found out he was exausted and in pain with his neck and shoulder.  He has to go for an MRI.  My mother was the Community Board President at that hospital so she made some phone calls and the head guy took care of my brother.  My brother just went back to work that previous day to work a 24.  He had the flu and it knocked the stuffing out of him.  When I spoke with him the night before he said he was just tired and he was checking on me with my visit with the surgeon.
It looks like or feels like a hemetoma that's liquid or filled with liquid.  The pain is less,Thank God, and I feel it smaller than  month ago.  I go back to see this surgeon in Feb. and see if it's smaller or surgery is needed to get rid of it. 
He believes it is from the injection I did 2 days before the pain happened.  There's a small window where you can inject safely without problems.  It so happens, that yours truly,hit the spot that can cause a hematoma!!!   They take a long time to go way,if they go away totally.  We'll see.
I had to cancel the mammogram and venos doppler of the legs because I couldn't see myself getting up at 4 or 5  in the morning for Access-A-Ride!  I was already tired.
So I'll re-schedule.
This morning I start the birds on brown rice and whole wheat bread to prepare them for any babies.  Out of 6 eggs,there should be a few.  I couldn't candle the eggs because those 2 birds are so in tune with eachother that one comes out of the nest box and the other immediately goes in!!!   It's day 19 from when she started laying so anywhere from now still 28 total days the eggs can hatch.  I've got her bath ready and food ready so here we go!!!!!

Thank you,my dear!  He called me this morning.  Aside from a neck brace and an arm in a sling;he's very sore.  Sore or not,I'll take him in one piece!!!

Thank you,Trisha!  My "owie" is, I'd say on a scale of 1-10, a 4.  Big relief was a month ago when it was a 9 or 10. 
My brother has been calling me to check in and see how I'm doing.  He says he sore,but resting his body.  I am so not ready to get more bad news!!!
On the birdie news....there are still 7 eggs.   The countdown is on to see whether or not these eggs will hatch.  I can't wait to get in there and do a thorough cleaning of the cage!!
All the supplies I was waiting for came yesterday from Dr.'s Foster and Smith.  The cleaning supplies are ready to go and do their job!!!
My henn,indigo and amla also came.  Got a pretty Capodimonti cardinal for my mother as a surprise and a pretty salmon colored orchid for me!
Since the plumbing thing for the washer will be done on Wed., I'll do my henna thing on Thurs.  Hubby says he'll help!  Thank God!  It's hard to do the back of your head with this stuff!

I am very glad that you and your brother are feeling better.

Enjoy the new washer!  I always love getting new appliances.  It's almost like getting a new house!
