Seniors...ever feel like you have no control over things? In the week that I've been home from NY I've had the

surgery for carpal tunnel, and now am dealing with bronchitis. Hubby started a new job a few weeks ago and is gone over 12 hrs. a day, so I'm on my own a lot. Stopped taking the Hydrocodone because I didn't like the "purple haze" feeling it gave me. Just discovered that I can type some..which is a BIG plus, but hate all the other limitations. Really don't like depending on people for rides to and from therapy, resent all the pill bottles on the counter and trying to remember what to take and when...and would give anything to be able to shampoo my hair right now! Didn't mean for this to be a boo-hoo post, but that's what it's become. Guess this funk is normal, and now that I know I can type without a lot of discomfort, I'll turn on the computer more often and get back into Y/A again. Looking forward to all your funny and interesting questions and stories, so keep them coming. And even tho' we're not supposed to chat, we do...and I missed it!
