Birthday

This past week has been a busy one. Started off on Monday going to Cedar Rapids and getting my physical. I didn't get one last year, so I guess you could call it my every two year one. LOL. I have been having a swishing sound in my left ear for about 3 years now and talked to my Dr. about it, she decided to send me for some test. On Friday I made another trip to Cedar Rapids and had a full blood workup done, then went for an MRI for my ear. After that went and got my mammogram . I always hate those, but I guess better safe then sorry. The MRI was no picnic either. Had to lay still for 25 minutes in the tube with loud noises. I ended up singing to myself and made it to 17 bottles on bear on the wall. After the 25 minutes, they moved me out, gave me a shot in vain and back in the tube for another 10 minutes. I also went for a hearing test that afternoon. When I got there, I was told the appointment was for 11am. Woops, someone made a mistake, I told her I had a card in my car that said 1pm and if she wanted I would go get it for her. I had the mammogram appointment at 11am. She ended up taking me anyway. Now that all the test are over with, it is wait to hear from my doctor and see what the results are.

The rest of the week was taken up with dinner in Iowa City with my friend Janis and her hubby Jim, then on Wed. our friends from Mission stopped by to see our place. That was Dick and Darlene, Dick went to school with Roger in Clear Lake so they go wayyyyyyyyyy back. We also went out to eat with them. I bet I gained a few pounds this past week.

I started off this post with a heading of "Birthday" so I guess I better explain that one. For those of you that read this blog but don't know me all that well, Thursday the 11th was my 64th Birthday. It was spent at home, Roger got up and gave me his gifts and Matt and family came over in the afternoon with a card and a gift card. Then my daughter Sandra along with her hubby Brian and daughter Emily and I can't forget the 2 dogs came for supper and grilled out and made supper for us. She also made we a Watergate cake. I got a nice E card from my sister and a phone call later. I also got nice calls from my other two daughters, Kim in California and Janis in Colorado. I also got a nice card from my high school friend Janis. Thanks to all of you for remembering me and the cards and gifts.

Happy Trails
