Well, finally after 4 months of doctors & painful tests, I need a hip replacement.  Scheduled for 9/3/13 at Upper Chesapeake Hospital.  It gets more painful as the days go by, so can't wait until it is done and over with. Before then I have a lot of things to do in preparation,  orientation, tests, doctor appointment, medication etc. 

All I want is to be able to do the things I did before all this started.  Like shop, church, trips, meetings etc. I'm not asking for much am I!!?  My 3 Sons will be here for the surgery and to help me so hope I can come home instead of going to rehab.

Oh, I do have a new great granddaughter now. 

Gee! Didn't realize it has been so long since I Blogged. Time is flying by. After 20 years as a volunteer for AARP/IRS tax program I decided to give it up.  Also gave up being secretary for my condo association, but still am Treasurer, that doesn't take up a lot of time.  And it is a good thing because my lower spine is giving me a fit and I can't walk too well.

Had PT and that didn't help, now will see a spine doctor next week. Maybe will need to go to Pain Management.

AARP Chapter #436 gave up after 46 years.  As Historian for the chapter I got together how it began and put it in our Historical Society in Bel Air, MD. Now have finally got information together to show the end of a wonderful Chapter. Will be adding that to the beginning as soon as I can.

Expecting my 2nd Great Granddaughter very soon now!

That's it for now.
