Georgia Was on our Minds

Hey, all! It’s been a busy time around here. Golfer and I went to visit Bikini and family for a few days. Golfer’s brother went also and the two of them went to see a round of the Fed-Ex Championship tournament. They had a good time and the weather was great. It was wonderful to spend some time with Bikini. The kids were on school break, so it was a more relaxed time.


They are all missing Zapper and Zoom, who had long battles with different cancers. But the kitties had a good, loving life. I am sure soon there will be more furry kids in the house. Currently there is Fred, a little dog who was abandoned at the airport where Brief works. Fred sounds like a good little guy, but unfortunately has some medical problems of his own. He will be treated for heart worms soon.

Speaking of furry family…. Our Cinder had surgery this week to remove two growths on her neck. She handled the surgery well and is now at home recuperating. The first lump turned out to actually be her thyroid with a growth on it. Don’t know yet what the second lump was, but her doctor is having them both analyzed. When I was talking with the doctor I asked about medication, figuring Cinder would have to take Synthroid or something and the doctor said Cinder’s other thyroid would pick up the slack and Cinder should be fine. I never knew that cats had two thyroids!

The furry boys are doing well and are as busy as ever. I’ve caught Cecil playing with Angus and Finnigan a couple times!

There were a few days of catch-up after Golfer and I returned home. And we’ve had some doctor appointments this week. I saw a new doctor, a pain management specialist. He was very nice and we had a long talk. For starters we’re trying some new exercises for in the pool, a cream to put on my lower right leg and foot and a new prescription. I took the first pill last night and am feeling a little “off” this morning, but it is gradually getting better. I figure it’s worth a try. If it turns out to not be helping, I’ll tell him I don’t want to take it. He’s also ordered an MRI and some blood work.

The Garden Center people came and did the work on our side yard. It looks good. And as it is supposed to rain this weekend, we’ll find out if the work and changes solve the drainage issues. The new small mulched area with a Soft Caress Mahonia looks good. (I had to look that one up when the lady mentioned it!)

Nurse J is doing okay and they are all busy at her house.  BeyB is doing fine with high school.
It’s Friday and I’m glad. You all take care and stay safe!
