Chezney Zippay

 We camped several times this summer. Crystal Hot Springs, Little Mill and Timpoonke. The last camping trip we took last month in Little Mill. We took my little cat Gimli and he did just fine. It was nice to have his company and he was much more friendly without the other cats around.  I guess we are home for the season unless we decide to take a road trip. We did take a ride up to Diamond Fork in Spanish Fork Canyon. The leaves were turning and were so beautiful!

I have a new great great granddaughter. Her name is Chezney and she belongs to Lorin and Contessa. Born September 20. I guess that makes 8 as far as I can remember. Getting so many I cannot keep track of them all. So fun. Congratulations to Lorin and Contessa. Chezney has a not so much older sister, Kennedy. I think I have 22 grandkids. It's hard to count anymore.

John had surgery on his foot and ankle and it has been over a month. He still can't go back to work. If he did not work on his feet all day, then he could have. He is struggling with finances because of all of this. Hopefully, his foot will be completely normal and he start back to work at the end of October. Randy is getting some special shoes made for diabetics and also to give him a lift on his short leg. I hope that he will be able to walk and have less pain. It does suck to get old and crippled or be young and crippled...anyway it just sucks.

My health is still up and down and I had a very bad reaction to my drugs or something else, nobody knows. But I was sick for 10 days with the worst rash I have ever had. It felt like a very bad sunburn and burned so bad and itched so bad I could not stand it. It was over most of my body. I hope it does not come back after I quit my Prednisone. I also have miss-firing nerves in my upper body. Fun huh?

Randy and I have been reading a lot. I have really enjoyed getting back to reading. I am going to get more books and keep up. I also need to get back to the Rec Center. I have exercise intolerance and after exercising I pay for it dearly. And doing it more often has not helped much. But I am going to try it again. Fibromyalgia gets worse with exercise so maybe that is it but I am not ready to stop trying. The meds have made me gain weight and so I guess I will just have to accept it. I can lose weight but it's Hell keeping it off. Too many years of auto immune system drugs have caused my bones and veins to thin out. I am having a bone scan next week.

Until next time, I am signing off and wishing love happiness to all my family and friends.
