She is doing pretty good, thanks for asking. 🙂 She has had more MRI's and other tests than I can count at this point, as well as many different specialists. She has finally been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis. She is not a surgical candidate due to age but also due to the fact that the highly invasive surgery would likely not help her and could make her worse. There were other incidental findings found in the scans that now need to be watched but they don't appear to be anything of concern. She has also had a lot of medication changes as she has lost a lot of weight in recent years and never had her meds adjusted or discontinued. She has accepted that she needs to use a cane or a walker. She still isn't driving but that is by her choice. I specifically asked the neurosurgeon and he said she can drive. She no longer is willing to move closer as she likes her condo, so I am still driving to NH a few times a week. She did start doing a little cooking, so we will see where that goes. I think she is sick of what I bring her each week lol My sister goes to see her almost weekly now, so that is better than before. The others that don't live close have been flying in to help, one of them at least each month. As long as we can keep her safe, she will stay where she is, but if she starts to go downhill, I am calling all in for an intervention. I haven't posted much as there really hasn't been good news and others have lots going on too. I hope your PT is going well and gives you some relief. 🙂 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, I bought my plant at BJ's and had almost 500 tomatoes! The plant was a beast and just kept producing. I got that one really early though, around the beginning of May. This year, we were cruising in mid May, so I bought my plant after we got back and over the covid we got on the ship. I think I got this one med June. BJ's plants were ugly, so this one came from Lowe's. I had two tomatoes last week that I had promised my firsts to my four year old neighbor. Since then, the plant has really been thriving. Got this bunch today and will have more by end of the week that I will have my neighbor come take. 🙂 I have only watered this one so far this year, last year I was using Miracle Grow Tomato fertilizer. I will likely feed this one soon. We have room to do a garden but I like the simplicity of the pot on the deck. 🙂 Buying a tomato plant already in a pot sounds perfect to me. I need to remember to get Miracle Grow Tomato fertilizer. Do cherry tomatoes work best in a pot or can I buy plants that will produce larger tomatoes. Thanks! 51 minutes ago, grapau27 said: Potato skins. Just heard the sad news that Olivia Newton John has died. So sad. She battled cancer for over 30 years with dignity. R.I.P.

They had big tomatoes too, I remember seeing at least beefsteak. I took a picture of it for you to see what I mean about the attached cage. I have put the plastic pot is a ceramic pot to add weight after it fell over from the wind. That worked well until yesterday's storms and the whole thing crashed over again (only lost one tomato 😄 ) so now I have it staked and tied to the railing. It is just really top heavy right now due to all the tomatoes. I think I only paid $15.99 for it, so if the rest of the tomatoes already on it survive, it has more than paid for itself.

I hope your PT is going well and gives you some relief. 🙂 There sure has been a lot going on with your Mom. I'm sure it must be a big step for your Mom to have accepted she needs a cane or walker. She's probably also pretty weary (as you have to be also) after going through all of the tests, scans, etc. It's unfortunate that she doesn't live close to you, but it's good to hear that your sister and siblings have been stepping up somewhat. Since she can't have surgery, have the doctors mentioned if PT could be of any help to her with her cervical spondylosis? If so, would she even consider it? My PT is going very well, thank you. My neck and upper back are feeling great for the first time in many years; the PT has made it stronger, so I'm not hurting as much there now; I finished 12 sessions and the therapist has extended it further, and is now concentrating on my lower back. Best of luck for you and your Mom.🥰 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had two referrals by her PCP over the last six months of this but she cancelled it both times. The neurosurgeon was impressed with how strong she is and she showed him the exercises she does on her own sitting in her recliner. It is crazy to see her reflexes though as when he tests one side, she jumps on both sides. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted August 8, 2022 #67289 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I'm taking my residents to a wine vineyard this weekend, I got to see the place last weekend.

Thank you so much for the photos. You have a bountiful harvest for sure. When I planted tomato plants in NY, I used to love to see those cute little yellow flowers appear because I knew what would follow. I had no idea the thread title was changed until it was mentioned in here. I just save the last read page in my favorites and that's what I click to get in here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
