Week 42 - Oregon City, Oregon - October 17 - October 23, 2022

This was a week of sickness and turmoil.  First I got a UTI which is uncomfortable in iteslf.  Then I took an antibiotic for it and had a reaction to the medication.  I got terrible cramping in my feet - felt like my feet were in a press and being squeezed from al sides.  Checked on line for side effects, and the side effects mentioned all sorts of problems with mucles and tendons  and ruptures.......called Ryan and he said to quit.  Those nasty symptoms went away and so did the UTI symptoms, so the meds must have killed off some of the bacteria.

Then went to my ophthalmologist who said I need to wait another month to make sure my 'numbers' stay stabile.  Then, most likely, I'll be scheduled to surgery in January....or sometime.  The doctor gave me a sticker to put on to one on my lenses shich changes the symptoms a bit....for the better...b=ut a bit for the worse. Sigh

I did finish painting the shed!!!!!

On Friday I started a Cursive Class for grandchildren - six showed up...Clara, Ruby, Logan, Abby, Gretchen, and Eric.  We had fun!!  Went over how to do a, c, d, and g.  Clara has started a Cursive Club on Facebook Messenger and says I will be a member as soon as....whatever.  I'm glad she's having enough fun to make a club out of it.  So far Eric has written me, and I responded

We bought a new door for the south basement entrance.  Unfortunately when measurements were taken, they were a quarter of an inch off.....too big.  Poor Val and Dad.  They spent the whole day doing whatever they had to do to make the door fit.  Finally ended up having to sand off part of the top of door and part of the shelf above the door.  The door is installed nog and fully closes....but can not open up completely.  More sanding has to be done.

Warren helped too.....holding the sander over one's head is very tiring.

to end up the week, I got a nasty cold!  My head feels as thought there is a balloon inside it which is being inflated.  Taking pills.
