Had to drive to Belleuve this afternoon to grab my MRI for my foot from the acupuncturist, that I saw back in January... I left the MRI's there so he could help treat me and when I stopped going since it was not working, I forgot he still had them. My appointment with my dermatologist went fine, except I am depressed I still have my cyst to deal with for another month! It is still inflamed and still too big to operate and take it out. She didn't think the wound would help well in the inside and it would end up opening up on me, so we treated it again with another cortisone shot in hopes that in a month it will have calmed down enough for her to remove. She took care of the cancerous mole though, so at least that is done. 2 weeks and I will get the stitches out.When I was at the doctor's having the mole removed we were talking about my foot and the pain, and that it has been swollen for almost 2 years! I was telling her about walking and that after 2 hours I need to stop as the next day it will be so bad, I will be hobbling.... so the nurse told me she had really bad foot pain and went to a doctor at the LakeShore Clinic and said he was a godsend for her...she gave me his card and I have an appointment with him next Thursday hence the need to take down my MRI's, x-rays and such so I am not going to have to go through everything all over again. I have had my veins checked, checked for diabetes, wore compression stockings, boots...I have tried every cream out there to help with my foot pain and nothing has worked. It is time to get relief. Years of walking on a sore foot all the time is taking its toll on me.
Anyway, on the way home we stopped and drove through beautiful downtown Kirkland and ended up going to dinner at Spuds. Wow..... that place has changed. $5.32 for a bowl of chowder and close to $15 for 3 pieces of fish..... and since when do you have to pay $.50 for some tarter sauce to go on your fish??? We spent $2.00 just in tarter...OMG.
Still good fish, but dang.... we left feeling robbed! Sorry, but we won't be back supporting our local restaurant..... too expensive for a little piece of fish!
On a brighter note I got $22 back from Harbor Freight today as I bought Neil a 3 ton Jack 2 weeks ago to work on his FJ and noticed in the paper it was on sale this week cheaper... took in the receipt and they adjusted the cost of it for me! No questions. Gotta like that. I am glad I got the Sunday paper and noticed it in their add. So I bought Neil a $139.99 jack for $69.99......OH YEAH!
Well the numbness is all gone for my back.... starting to feel it..... can't get it wet for 2 days, then I get to change the bandage out. Lovely. I wander how many stitches this one is. I have had so many stitches and staples and I think this must be my 30th scar.......with more to come. Neil would have no problem IDing my body if he ever had to. Just look at her frankenfoot and stomach and back, and arm and leg... and, and.... too many to count I say.
Kitty is really having a hard time with the pet stairs to get up into our bed.... I hope he does OK camping this weekend. We leave tomorrow for Port Angeles, KOA and then Saturday a day at the Olympic Game Farm and the beach! Can't wait. I love feeding the bears! and Zebra!
I am waiting for Neil to finish up work so we can watch Revenge... season closer... I just love that show. SO happy I don't have to go to work tomorrow. It was a long week as it was working till 3:45 to make up time for today leaving early... Tuesday felt like it was Thursday!
The weekend will fly by... I hope we have good weather and everyone gets along camping and has fun!
Have a Happy Memorial Day...
This should help with dinner ideas for ya!! Hope you enjoy my Picky Palate favorites!!
