Good morning BN!

Not much going on here. My sister has a small cleaning company coming today, so I'll send the dogs outside with a bone, and close off their dog door. I'll hide in my sister's office.

That's about all from here..

Have a good Thursday!!

Good Morning Penny & everyone else who wanders in.

I've got chair yoga at 3:30 and that's about it. I think we will head to the pool soon since it's more convenient today.

Yesterday I had a return endocrinologist visit to go over my most recent thyroid blood work which seems to finally be back on track after up/down/all around for many months. I'm glad Kevin went with me....she is very concerned about my osteoporosis issue a I am in the severe range with 70% risk fracture rate in my left hip. Plus I broke those 2 bones in my wrist when I tripped over the 5" raised sidewalk outside the County Office back in 2022. All that coupled with my history of creating multiple little kidney stones she has ordered another a blood test on my "parathyroid glands".

What are the parathyroid glands you ask (or you don't really care)......

Your parathyroid glands are four pea-sized endocrine glands that are embedded within the back side of your thyroid. They produce and release parathyroid hormone (PTH). This hormone is responsible for controlling blood calcium levels. So....because blood calcium levels can affect bone strength and growth she wants to see what's going on there.

Anyway - just another day in the medical life of Linda which coincides with the Month of Linda

Yep, I do! Love the house and the pups.

Linda - all the good wishes I can send you for the medical issues.

Good Morning Ladies!

I don't have my Hush Puppies on today but I am wearing a pair of similarly casual shoes, a pair of Sketchers that look something like this.
Ultra lightweight & very comfortable. Perfect for Casual Thursday!

Sorry to hear that your osteoporosis issue is not in a good spot Linda. Hopefully blood test results can give some guidance as to whether than
can offer something to help that situation.
On a happier note, the Pool sounds good for today anyway!

Enjoy your 3rd day of September everyone!

Good morning. I'm wearing my New Balance sneakers, not hush puppies. I did have a pair of hush puppies years ago, I think elementary school but it might have been junior high school, which I think is what they call middle school now.

Fall (meteorological or not) is in the air in the UpperLHCoarner, the furnace kicked on this morning for the first time in months, and it's raining for the second day in a row.
Good luck with your tests, Linda!Linda!Linda!, hopefully the rest of your month will have less medical time and more me time.
MsMod, don't wear your HushPuppies while harvesting dog turds!

Nope!! I have Sketchers on. They're like indoor/outdoor 'slippers', and they're good for my feet (past history of stress fractures) because they don't bend. But dang comfortable.

Thanks for the music (2)!! Glad you're getting some rain, tho.
