Good morning! So today would have been my mom's 100th birthday, so I'm baking her favorite cake in honor.
It's been a rough time for us recently. Covid is hitting family members so I haven't been to the gym. But that's actually not the bad news. My daughter Susan, had a mental breakdown Friday at the hospital when she was supposed to have her knee procedure. Now she has covid. So she's currently staying with Tim&Julie, what we affectionately call the covid house. In spite of being with Susan all last week, at the hospital and over the weekend I so far haven't tested postive for covid. We are so worried about Susan but the earliest when can get her into see a therapist is next Thursday! We don't want to leave her alone so that means my house or Tim's.
It was really freaky at the hospital, she was in the day surgery department of the hospital and started hyperventilating and getting hysterical, so they called me in but I was at a loss. I had no idea what was going on. Her surgeon's a really nice guy but he's not that kind of doctor, he specializes in knees. So the surgery got cancelled and Susan moved to the ER. They finally found first a social worker then a nurse practitioner therapist to talk to Susan, who eventually calmed down enough to go home. But now we're all trying to take care of her (and deal with covid) and what do we know about it? Contributing to her problem is not be able to be active, but she's not going to be able to get the knee surgery until her mental health is better -but we can't take her to see someone that knows how to deal with Susan's concerns!

oh no for Susan . I hope she will be okay. I had a stomach virus for a day that has gone. my lower back hurts so much I really cant walk well. But guess what my case manage from Gateway is come over to talk again about infusions from lidocaine again. I found a pair that I faxed to ask from microfiche statement of denial iof SSI payments from 3/1976 through 1979 SSI payments and that would prove I was 23 not before age 22 when I got thm. Then I called DVR for a job and found out I would need this year to earn 3460 to get last two quarter 1730 for each quarter. So I really hope I can get infusions. I would work 15 dollars for ten hours which would take aliitle less gross than 6 months and I would get a bump up for age 70. I would h ave to pay higher rent and Medicare premium but I think if win my SSI I could tell I would my own Social Security and if I lose I would say I want my own Social Security benefits not my father's which he would have agreed with. I am calling national to ask about my appeal since nothing oline shows up.

Then every clinic is making us mask also in Madison. I went o cvs in target and got the covid vaccine the rev and the four shot at my doctor. my brother at christas also said his family his son's girlfriend had covid. Whey did New York tell everyone to get the fall annual covid shot? and iff they did did they get paxlovid it really helped someone here?

Debbie I hope things are improving for Susan. You sure have been through alot in the last few years.
I stayed home today. I could have worked from home but just decided to take a PTO day instead. Fortunately our granddaughters college class was moved to online so Jim did not have to get out and drive either.
Amy I hope you get what you want where SS is concerned.

hi mo it is bad outside but next we week after our minus temps it will and be more mild wishing sooner. I could get that delivered meal I getting ravioli I think made out of retables or with retables and tapioca 2 of them a day. I should them by the end of next weekend. the menu changes in March so I am happy about that. the Taylor scale ell apart so we packed it up and when Scott goes to dentist Thursday before we shop. I am going to ask Russ to take that package to Ups near there my big buy that I badly needed for my tile floors was a new vacuum / it came with 2 batteries. So they can be charging separately. I have 12 months to pay it off but plan to pay it off next month. I am just glad I do not have much food. I can separate the tapioca I hope from the 2 meals and have 4 meals. I hope I do not gain weight. Meanwhile I am eating Whole Foods which moved just down the street from me frozen brown rice reward in 8 minutes in microwave wit a can of black beans. That brown rise is so expensive. I hope they have some better lighter spring meals. Scott got a different company and he got meals I would not enjoy. But I did like his cookie I ate today. I ate progresso lentil soup 1 can and 2 portions of brown rice and beans and some air popped corn and 8 prunes so I hope gain too much. I am going to try to walk up the flights of stairs.
