My big news today is that I DO NOT need surgery for the compressed disks in my spine - the Neurologist feels that it is not severe enough to warrant surgery and has referred me to a physical therapy consultation to determine if I can relieve some of the discomfort that I have been experiencing (numbness and pressure on my left side). I am relieved and willing to do what is necessary to feel better.
Ben and Jill invited me and Lois & Dennis to dinner on Sunday he made a yummy Vietnamese dish called Bun Cha - grilled pork meat balls that were served on a bed of rice noodles, cucumbers, cilantro, and mint and a yummy sauce over the top. I made a strawberry crumble for dessert and Lois brought Oatmeal Raisin cookies. It was great to hang out with them all.
This morning, I put potatoes, carrots, onions and corned beef in the crock pot and had it simmering all day long. There wasn’t room in the crock pot for cabbage, so I tried roasting the slices in the oven with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and bacon crumbles - yummy! I met with my Stampin Up group and then headed out to my doctor appointment. Sherry from Building II joined me and Deb came by and had a beer with us. It was a nice evening hanging out with the girls.
