Ok, 50 degrees F might not be all that cold, but we live in a drafty (no insulation) 120 year old house....and so it's a bit nippy to be inside the house! LOL This was my costume du jour....

When I got up, it was 50 upstairs, inside the house. I got out of my flimsy night gown and robe, put on long johns, socks, and winter houseshoes, and put back on the robe. My ears were cold, so I got my burgundy scarf over the top of my head covering my ears and both ends swung over my shoulders. I was thinking the scarf would slip, so I put on the bonnet I bought at Dodge City, Kansas, when I was visiting Connie years ago. THEN I put a throw blanket over my shoulders... and got my hot tea going....

Some costume, huh? LOL

Doing pretty good on the recovery process... Some dear friends told me to take one pain pill (Darvocet) every 5 hours during the day instead of "limping along" ibuprofen, and then continue with taking 2 Darvocet at bedtime. I've been trying to make it last and such. They told me that if I can control the pain, then I can move easier, walking more, and thereby getting to feel better much faster.... I think they were right! I've always thought of med use to be "as needed" and that "as needed for pain" was to wait until the last possible moment to take meds. Hate taking pills. Anyway, guess that goes under the heading of "learn something new every day"!

Still hurting but moving around the house a little bit easier. Maybe next week will really be the "corner turning" for me!

Thanks for your prayers!
