Wow, March snuck up on me! March 13, 2019

I wrote my last update on February 12, so now a month has passed! What have we been doing?  Well the weather and doctor appointments contained our plans to be gone in March.
On the 13th of February, Steve had to go to the VA early and get an Xray and CT scan for his kidney stones. We did have time in between and went to Bass Pro in OKC to look around. We drooled over the pontoon boats - but man are they expensive, also the ATV's. For Valentine's Day I got to go back for a follow up mammogram - what fun!  But no problems were found!  Yea! Steve also found out that he does have kidney stones on both sides!

I have been trying to go to the YMCA and walk most days and Steve goes when he can. It's something to do and I would like to get in better shape. Many days are routine, but that is OK!
We didn't do anything to celebrate President's Day. On Tuesday the 19th, we stayed home and waited for it to snow. Some of the schools in our area were closed. We didn't get much snow - but that is fine with me. On the 20th, we returned to OKC for an MRI for Steve's back. We stopped at Chic Fil A for lunch on our way out of town and it was packed and noisy. Steve found out his L4 and L5 discs are bulging and a spinal team will be evaluating what is the best treatment for him. We also found out later that he has a stress fracture on his L4. Poor Guy.
On Thursday , the 21st, I went to Enid for a doctor appointment and stopped by and visited some of my old co-workers. That was nice. Also our new couch was delivered today and I love it! We put an ad on Facebook to get rid of our old couch (for free) and 3 college boys from Stillwater came and picked it up ASAP.  It sure saved us the work of having to haul it off somewhere, those young guys have strong backs.

On Saturday, the 23rd - we met Kristi & Logan at Texas Roadhouse in OKC and had lunch. Next we went downtown OKC to the Home & Garden show and browsed around. The parking downtowns difficult because a Thunder Basketball game was on later. We did finally park and walked to the Cox Convention Center. There were some really neat displays of items for outdoor living I would have liked to have- but we will wait on that.  The day was very windy but it was nice to be outside. After that we went to a soccer game (inside) and watched Logan play.  His team won and he is showing lots of progress in his soccer skills.

I finally decided that I have put up with my Left shoulder long enough and went to see my doctor - at Ponca City. He had me go get X-rays and  then I did an appointment with the orthopedic doctor later (on Friday). Come to find out, it is just arthritis - so nothing new.  Just live with it and some anti-inflammatory medicine.
We woke up to ice on Wednesday the 27th, more schools were closed and I stayed in the house! No more falling on ice for me.
March brought more cold weather - Brrr. On the 4th of March we went back to the VA in OKC to see Urology about the kidney stones, of course they need more tests....Oh Boy! I got my hair colored the next day and complained about the cold weather. We got our taxes completed on the 7th and that was great. On Friday, the 8th , the weather cooperated and we were able to walk outside with the dogs. They were so happy!
We have been watching You Tube videos to keep ourselves entertained some. We like the Phoenix Ramblers, and Grand Adventure, also Traveling Robert and Long Long Honeymoon! We also watch The Widow on Amazon Prime and really liked it!
On Monday the 11th of March - Steve decided to work on the toilet in our back bedroom. After he worked on it for awhile we went to the hardware store for repair items. We got home and found out the flange would not fit in the pipe - so we returned it and took the advice of the hardware guy and called a plumber.  As of today (13th) it is fixed and back in operation. But the work that Steve did prior to calling the plumber was not good for his back. So he went to the chiropractor today and is resting up. We were very pleased with the price and speed that PJ's Plumbing completed our work.
Well, it's been busy some days and lazy other days, but time is marching right on.
The next plan it to got to Clinton Oklahoma on the 18 & 19 of March to the Waterpark with the grandkids. Cross your fingers that everything works as planned.
