The lilacs are budding out, and we have Robins!!! again. That is a sure sign of Spring! I have all kinds of bulbs wakinig up, and bushes budding out. I love this time of year. Everything starts anew. Fresh air, babies popping up from their long winters nap. I just love it! So glad to hear that Carly is doing good, and just busy as aposed (sp?) to something be wrong. I know what she means!

Thanks Kay but right now there is no sticking by her...she has chosen her bad path again...she knows where she needs to go but I guess still hasn't hit rock bottom I send her up beat posts on FB and that is all I can do right now...she takes blame for nothign in her life it is always someoen eles fault.... Yeah Phyliss yep I am a addict on FB but I have gotten so close with my cousins etc as all my family is gypsys n move around so it is great!!! Gerogrysmom actually for the first time the GB's are not a worry because I know where they are and I know the families and how they are being taken care of before I know how they lived how they saw their dad beat their mom and both of the parents do drugs now these babies are seeing how life truly is.....as for Kasey we have offered and offered not sure what her bottom will be I fear it will be death but I can't help her anymore as she abuses the help I give her...sad for a mom to say that but I don't know what else to do! Thanks again! And I am sure I will get alot of negavtive commints on that last post so be it.....but that is how I feel she is on her own she has lost everything every wk I post to her offer to get her to rehab it is never her fault she doesn't need it I can't do any more for her!

Lascatx, how long were your toes and foot swollen? I spend most of the day in bed and I think this morning I could tell the toes felt better. Until I did a load of laundry about an hour ago, had to water plants so I carried them one by one to the sink and back. Oh, and I cleaned the counter tops. DH does the dishwasher but he's allergic to cleaning by hand. :) Now several of the toes are throbbing like crazy, so next time I have a lengthy chore to do, I'll put the boot on. I bought an amazing pair of garden shoes a couple of years ago that I keep next to the bed and I wore those to the doctor's office and noticed they were nice and firm and have a thick rubber sole. Putting the boot on takes forever and I cannot bend much because of the hurt quad. I just noticed Amazon sells this memory foam leg support and elevation pillow. That's what I need! Rae, I don't think it's a ligament issue, which is a sprain which I've had before. I don't think I told this funny story above, if so, please forgive me. Monday nights were mom's bowling nights and dad was in charge of me and I brother. One night we had a couple of friends over and were playing hide and seek in the basement where you can run to home base before you're caught. I ran in and slid on purpose like a baseball player and sprained the heck out of my ankle. Dad took me to the ER, they said to start soaking the ankle. He brings me a large pot of water, and it was HOT water. LOL My ankle probably doubled in size. Lower back now has a bit of pain, not the usual back pain I get. Sitting in a chair makes my toes hurt.
