granddaughters of one resident the children visit once or twice a month and stay for supper i think it is a highlight of the week when they come if for no more than their grandma the girls are what i always called irish twins though i think they are far from irish they were born in the same year the requisite number of months apart posted by joanne noragon at 7 14 pm 33 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday july 21 2025 i m so grateful last summer i set about plumbing the political depths of people aroud me for the purpose of organizing some troups to the cause in this big sea of fellow old faces i was encouraged by finally falling into a compatible dining table group i got a kick in the butt from a fellow oldster we were in line for dinner and i brought up a political topic oh i don t vote i was informed they re all crooks if you don t vote you don t count i replied my standard put down oh i know that she reponded there still was time to register for the november election then so i decided to do something i enlisted our new activities director who knows everyone and who is a vocal liberal to put up posters encouraging voter registration and giving registrations to interested people they must be returned by mail but old folks tend to have stamps then i tackled my table on several state issues that seemed and were hopeless but consitituent opinions needed recording i started with a comment on the campus protests against palestinian violence do you think they do any good asked timid marcia a retired nurse i went into a discourse on the vietnam protests long ago and later on campus protests against some administration policies i explained how we linked arms and blocked euclid avenue running through the center of campus hey hey lbj how many boys did you kill today there was a lively discourse around the table that night and most every night since plenty of organizing has been planned and implemented at the end of supper that night marcia stopped me and said i am so grateful to know a real protester from back then more personal stories have been shared around the table since then one night we talked about international travel marcia has been to africa and latin america what did you see she had no idea she d spent several months administering vaccines for smallpox and measles sleeping between shifts i am so grateful to know a humanitarian health care provider i am so grateful to know all of you who have been so kind in this trying time thank you i am working with my doctor to get past this and will succeed i m about to go weave another bobbin of olive posted by joanne noragon at 2 19 pm 36 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday july 14 2025 hello i m here to let you know i m here finally i hope i am on the proper path i ve begun week three of a four week protocol it is an abject failure which is not all bad it is a quantifiable result and shows a direction to a better end for pain relief i am back on buprenorphine which is the chemical name of the belbuca i used to take this time i m using a transdermal system a patch i began this drug and method years ago it became rapidly apparent my skin could not tolerate the patch adhesive and my pain doctor switched me to belbuca a sublingual method the sublingual worked beautifully it s only drawback the cost in the beginning and for years i could afford it i had a job when i did retire i had savings my drug copays were managable even after i retired ten years ago but the perfect storm of covid lockdown the opiod scandle moving house and rising costs made belbuca impossible my pain doctor was forty five minutes away impossible when i no longer had a car and cost climbed to a 300 a month copay more than i could afford my year of ibuprohpen has become a failure my personal opinion is i did not augment my pain by quitting belbuca i am a classic chronic pain syndrome patient and as additional bones and vertebrae disintigrate pain increases so i am back to my original pain management doctor and buprenorphine patches 13 per month at my lowest dose it will increase as the dose increases but probably will remaine reasonable i am at the lowest dose and it is not effective every three weeks it can be increased that will be next week i believe i am on a better path and eventually will be as good as a year ago in the meantime i miss living in the last six months i have finished one color of towels just off the loom last week and on the web today purple i ve increased the price to 34 the same as most woven towels my size on the internet today the chief difference is they charge additional postage and i include postage in that 34 it s a charge i hate and i m sure you do too of course i think mine are better i explain all that on my web page i don t expect to have more towels soon and my thread is getting way down lavendar grey lime scarlet peacock what do you suggest this may be the last rosepath towel it s time to find a new pattern with an affinity for water and other things that need soaking up that pretty much summarizes my last several months i remain the in house organizer old folks make a fine cadre of rear guard we keep elected officials phones busy and we buy porta potties for events use your rights to prove you have them posted by joanne noragon at 3 56 pm 41 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday april 10 2025 my solution i ve been diagnosed with chronic pain for twenty odd years it began small and then kept adding on through the years first that crushed disc at c3 and a degenerated hip had those repaired then lumbar stenosis and l1 crushed in a stupid accident physical therapy and a brace for a long time then the litany of minor things like rheumatoid and osteoarthritis no cure there left shoulder replacement then a tibia fracture couple of years later my femur add to all this acquired leg length discrepancy now about an inch every step hurts my back i consumed a lot of ibuprophen and went to physical therapy eventually i cycled through rheumatology and on to pain management pain management began about ten years ago i started with lyrica and then a mild opiod i researched the bejammers out of the latter before i agreed i was prescribed belbuca the drug we prescribe for withdrawal from addictive opiods for the first time in a long time my back was manageable my arms legs and hands quit hurting i took up weaving again because i could catch and throw a shuttle life was just fine i moved from my township in summit county in 2022 to this senior complex in portage county i drove the twenty or so minutes back to my summit county doctors until i decided the car was becoming too expensive i traded out all my old doctors for doctors i could access from my new residence my first pain problem was that not one of the new doctors would prescribe lyrica either they were not authorized or just would not i was referred to at least four new pain practitioners none of whom prescribed pain medications i could explain their reasoning but don t care to it basically came down to what i call old people medicine and i no longer have belbuca to keep me moving i was still seeing my old pain management practice but the price of belbuca was rising exponentially by 2023 my co pay was 300 a month way out of my ballpark the pain folks had no alternative so i quit it wasn t the worst thing i ve ever been through but it did remind me of all the reasons i always refused prescribed pain meds if you take them you must withdraw if you stop so i spent a sleepless week but that was a couple of years ago i went back to my ibuprophen habit 400 mg in the morning 400 at night when doctors complained and had no alternative i said deal with it the same thing i told my primary years ago when she thought i should quit butter i eat butter deal with it sadly my self prescribed doseage no longer works i seldom sleep the night i have not seriously thrown a shuttle in more than six months i ve switched from my walker to my rollator so i can sit down on my way to anywhere when i was young i occasionally heard my father say i ve dug a hole and pulled it in behind me i feel like i ve done that myself and i like it less and less i ve arranged to get a new shoe lift to ease walking a bit i ve had them in the past and hated how inefficient they are but my daughter located a supplier who purports to make a more flexible lift so i ll give it a try and i ve make an appointment to see a new rheumatologist maybe i ll find some help that appointment isn t until july in the meantime i m avoiding typing i m looking forward to being done with this confession my hands hurt my arms my shoulders my back it s such bullshit long story short i m mostly off posting i m still at the head of the activist rolls letting my fellow senior anarchists know what boycott is in effect and what issues need letters would you believe my maga state government is trying to move libraries from independent funding to a line item in the state budget bastards when the federal funds to ohio are gone so is peninsula s library all is not gloom however it is spring snow nothwithstanding the daffs are up the birds are back from a window i can see through at supper there are a lot of hawks riding the air currents on my way to breakfast i generally stop and rest at the big windows overlooking a court yard it s where i can see the white cat happy if he s soaking up rays in his window but this week a hawk landed on the retaining wall outside happy s window a plethora of sparrows live in the row of arborvitae past the wall i ve seen several hundred shoot out of the row of arborvitae like a curtain of birds suddenly the hawk dived into the greenery and came out with his breakfast i think it s a coopers hawk he s been here before and a hall mate took this

bottles is here in ohio a little south of me in dover ohio dover is a bucolic little town so typical of the connecticut western reserve though the reserve may not have extended to what became tuscarawas county for due diligence i googled recycle prescription bottles in the event there are more around the country only the tuscarawas service was returned it is through the matthew 25 ministries that is the pill bottle address here is the site of the ministry https m25m org they accept over the counter plastic bottles too aspirin supplements all those pesky bottles that i m sure are not recycled moving right along here are the roll brim hat instructions i have not found out how to get pictures back into the instructions the yarn is wool worsted weight 4 ply but any worsted weight will do roll brim hat the pattern is for adult small medium and large the top of the hat is decreased in six sections or gores which produces a very attractive swirl this kind of decreasing is a simple formula the number of gores must divide evenly into the original number of stitches when decreasing knit together the last two stitches in the gore it can be helpful to place markers at the end of the pattern i have included number of stitches to cast on and the number of stitches in the gore sections to make the hat for infants and children to fit sizes small 20 medium 21 ¼ large 22 ½ these sizes are fairly nominal if the hat is knit in wool which is very forgiving a small will also fit a medium materials 1 skein 110 yards ewe tree dk to worsted weight 16 circular 6 1 set 6 dp
