This week went faster than the past few have. I don't know why because we didn't do anything spectacular.

It wasn't 10 minutes after I had posted last week about Bill not moving much than he told me he wanted to go out and walk. We still had to put the extra oxygen concentrator in his apartment, so we went out and got it hooked up. He stayed out about an hour. I don't know if he walked the entire hour, I kind of doubt it, but at least he walked. But, that's the only day he's been out.

I had a dr. appointment Tuesday. I thought I had somehow pulled a muscle in my left leg, but didn't know how I would have done it. Tuesday morning it was better, but my leg felt cold on the inside. So, again, since blood clots are in the family, off to the dr. Turns out after talking to the practitioner, I remembered that I had a "twinge" across my lower back Sunday carrying in groceries. She thinks I just inflamed my sciatic nerve. The leg feels fine now and there is no pain, other than my usual aches and pains. She had told me not to lift anything heavy and I told Bill that he would have to walk to bed, I wouldn't be able to carry him! She also told me not to line the grocery bags up my arm to carry in as many as possible. That's going to be hard to do!

We've both been stuffy again and our neighbors came over Thursday and said that they had both been sick off and on since Christmas with this same stuff. I wish it would just get warm and be done. But, it's only January so that's a long way off, even though we've had a warmer month than usual.

We went through some paperwork and Bill sat at the shredder while I looked through and sorted. I've got to get some of this stuff more organized than it is!

I got our taxes filed yesterday. It's so much easier when you're retired and only have a couple of forms. Don't have to wait for mortgage statements and, since Bill is exempt from real estate and personal property taxes because he's a 100% disabled veteran, we didn't have to wait for those statements.

Bill has been talking a lot about "going" so I finally asked him if he was wanting to go somewhere. He said yes, so we may try to get away for a few days. He has a dr. appointment in Memphis Thursday with his lung dr. so maybe we'll head somewhere after that appointment. Just have to see.

All for this week, I think the washer has stopped so it's time to move clothes. Have a good week!
