God Bless our Independance!

What a beautiful and sunny day we have to celebrate our Independence!! Good night for fireworks ;-)
My doctor visit on Thursday went well, my doctor is amazing as well as his staff. Felt right at home. Kathy K. stopping by was a plus!
A bit of good news .... hips are not that bad and the doc will re-read the MRI films. No hip replacement in my future right now which is wonderful. All x-rays are nomal .... yeaaaaaa.
The down side is the pain in my left hip and leg is related to my back ... nurse for 33 years .... go figure. L4 - L5 is angry with me right now with good reason. Been doing a little too much lifting but that's another story. Waiting now to get an appointment with a pain specialist who can do epidural steroids for relief. Been referred to a good doctor but getting an appointment is challenging. The guard dogs in the front office are a tough group so I have to wait, really shouldn't complain because that is their job. Woof!!
Trying to get used to moving slower is frustrating. I had many goals set for my summer break but I need to do a reality check to see what is necessary and what is not.  I have found that it is absolutely necessary to read or listen to a book, water the garden (which I may say is doing very well this year!), brush Spat the Dog, spend time with my husband and sons, take time to talk to or spend time with my friends, have a picnic and get some rest.
As you may have noticed I have changed the name of my blog. I am not sure where my journey will lead me right now but I have faith that it will be okay. God is with me every step (maybe limp) of the way.

Enjoy the holiday weekend. God Bless, Kim
