As I get closer to 70 in a few more years I have been thinking of all my wonderful Farmgirl Sisters and friends in there 70’s and 80’s. The Wisdom they have, the stories and memories they have to share, I want to hear their stories and listen to any memories and wisdom they want to share with all of us. How special will it be to get to know these wonderful women so much better. In our Wildflower HH we have a very special older lady who has been sharing her stories with me and others for years. I told her she needs to write her memories and stories down in a journal now to share with family and friends later. She told me she did not think anyone would be interested. I told her gently that I thought she was wrong as I want to hear about her life and I know others will too. It is important, it is history, it is love, it is caring all rolled in to one.
So, please all of us 60 and over share your stories with us, I for one want to hear them. I will never be too old to learn something new and offer any wisdom you have.
Then here it will be in MaryJanes History for others to read for years to come.
Thank you Beautiful Ladies.
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Nancy -- Good thoughts for Tara and your family.
Tara Lovecatsandsunshine -- (trying to keep our Taras separate) -- I had a back injury 19 years ago that never healed. It changed my life in a major way for the worse. Some things can't be helped. and you just have to live with it. I hope they can help yours.

Prayers for Tara and Marta. I'm still going slow but steady on healing sciatica. It has been bad for 6 yrs. I know it will take a long time but I feel that it's is possible. Insurance will only cover for a short time so...but I am doing exercises as well. I just pray for strength to do it each day. I do as much as I can to keep moving.

I have been in TX for the last 2 weeks with my daughter. She was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma and was undergoing treatment for it. I was with her for the last 2 rounds. She's a fighter, but please keep her in your prayers. Her name is Marta. It is hard for her to be ill...she just wants to go all the time. She is unable to do so, and that has been the hardest for her. She has some scans coming up, after which they will decide if she needs more rounds of treatment.

6 weeks of PT, if I can handle. Dr said possibly rotator cuff injury/tear. But other muscles could be torn. He said insurance wants PT before an MRI. Dr said not to push thru PT if pain persists or gets worse.
I'm waiting to hear if my insurance will cover PT. I am in A LOT of pain, want answers and relief.
Anyone have an injury( not torn cuff) that just wouldn't heal?

Chocolates are the right answer!
This little nose peeking out of birdhouse belongs to a flying squirrel. A pair showed up this summer. I have named the pair, Salem and Sassafras. I'm waiting for appt with specialist about chronic muscle spasms in my right shoulder. This old and not healing business is well, OLD ha ha

I had a wonderful time talking with my dad and visiting mom in the nursing home. I'm staying overnight at a hotel halfway back home. One thing I learned during the trip is that you can't listen to an audio book in a rest stop restroom (flushing and hand dryers).

Thank you all, we are back and had a great time (except for the airplane flights which made me feel like a sardine in a can). Yesterday I got stuff in order and this morning will head to Wisconsin to visit my mom on her birthday. I bought lovely chocolates for her and am bringing some of my stock of wine for dad.

I've been out of country in Germany since last Sunday. We visited our exchange students family and are with my husband's long time friends. Both of us are amazed and humbled by their friendliness and hospitality. We've eaten way too much every night. I told my sweetie that we'll be on bread and water when we get home!
Saturday we go by train to Nuremburg, then to Frankfurt to fly home. I am blessed not to have to work during this trip.

Tara I Hope the doctor can help. The older we get the more aches and pains. It's like my sister said" Young people could never put up with all this".
I'm recovering from surgery to repair a trigger thumb and 2 trigger fingers; the stitches come out this Thursday. Hurts like the devil but I'm looking forward to being able to use that hand again.
I'm 84, DH is 77 and showing little signs of dementia. He likes to cook but has a habit of turning something on high then going outside so I have to keep a good eye on the stove. It's getting that I can't multitask anymore -- have to concentrate on one thing at a time.

I am resting, sort of? I am waiting impatiently to see a specialist about shoulder and back spasms. I have fought the pain long enough( been over a year). Chiropractor adjustment have helped, but I am hurting more and rest not helping anymore. Grrr-being old stinks, my body just wont heal Garden is full of peppers and a few Autumn tomatoes. But not much else to do in garden. I will plant a few Autumn veggies. An Autumn/winter garden doesn't require back breaking work. Critters have eaten all the green beans=grrrr
Vanessa, never walk away from the stove when burner is on. And if you need to step away, turn off burner. Sometimes we got too much going on to remember.
