Good morning, everyone.

Yesterday was a very busy day and I missed a bunch of pages.

Hope you all have a splendid Sunday!

There is a solution it is called a vacuum for the sweeping challenged.
We don't have carpet anymore so we don't have a vacuum. We have a shark robot vacuum but it doesn't get in the corners very well and that's where the pet hair likes to gather.

Why thanks. I hear you're feeling better. Hope you were able to take a tylenol and go outdoors with your boys.

It has been rough seeing her suffer. The helplessness of it all is the worse. I want to fix it. The first doctor was awful. Broke her bones saying that cartilage would form and cushion her issues. Then put in a plate. Then ankle replacement. She could not move her ankle after that at all. My husband's physical therapist said he tried to help her. But the hardware wouldn't budge! She have at least moved like an ankle.

Now 3 surgeries later. She said it feels better already. At one point those darn plate screws were pushing their way out. You could see them underneath the skin! And the swelling was awful. 😢

Truly everyone thanks 🙏 for the kind words and prayers
Sounds like that first doctor needs to be investigated for malpractice in my opinion...
