Shopping Day

 This morning I awoke at 7 o'clock and did my brain warmers and when it finally warmed up at 9 o'clock Yuma and I jumped out of bed ready for the day.  Low 48 and a high of 70 today with just a breeze and lots of sun.  Another beautiful day in southern California.

Took Yuma for his morning walk and then sat down and had two coffees and then had breakfast.

I could see the Imperial Dunes with the Wall snaking through it.  We're only about a mile from the border.
It was around 10 o'clock when Deb and Riley stopped by for a short visit on their way into Yuma.  After they left I decided to do my shopping too.  So, around noon I left Yuma to guard the place while I went into town to do a little Walmart shopping.  Actually, a lot of shopping.  I was about out of everything.  I've gone two nights without dessert and that is a no-no!

Spent $175 and got everything I need for at least a couple of weeks.  Lots of snacks and desserts.:)  On the way home I stopped to top off the Jeep and got a supreme wash too.  Nice to have a clean outside, now the inside needs a lot of vacuuming to get the sand, dirt and hair out of it.

When I got home was Yuma was waiting and I also got a text from Dolly, saying she got the results of her MRI back today.  She has had a lot of pain in her right arm and shoulder from a rotator cuff problem for quite awhile now and it has been getting worse.  

It showed she had a 2 and 1/2 inch tear in the front rotator cuff.  It's pressing against the nerve below it and the ball of the shoulder has moved up and forward pushing against the large muscle above it.  A bone has shifted and sticking into the tendon of her upper arm.  Along with lots of bone spurs just to irritate it more.  

To fix it will require surgery and that has not been scheduled yet.  Luckily, we have lots of family and friends to be there for her during the operation and healing process which will take quite awhile.  Hopefully, she will feel much better after it is healed properly.

It's just a beautiful afternoon and Yuma and I took several more walks bringing me to my goal for the day.  Been a little distracted and missing my goal the last few days.

Might cook a pork chop with corn and potatoes tonight for the first time.   Got lots of chicken, but not tonight.

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Before I say anything else, Doug made a typo on the size of the tearing my front rotator cuff. It's not 23&1/2". I think my arm would have already fallen off at that point.🤣

    I'm glad shopping is over and you have enough pudding and Cool Whip to last for awhile. I hope Yuma got some treats while you were shopping, too. Wonderful picture of the sand dunes.

    We too left a big deposit for groceries, the cupboards were looking bare as was the fridge. Enjoy your quiet time!
