T Stands for winter not so wonderland

 Hi Everyone!

I know that a lot of you are snowed in, power outages, winds and just horrible weather. It is the same here. I live in a coastal town on the Oregon coast. Our weather is cold to cool all year long with heavy winds that will blow you away. So when we get snow, ice, sleet on top of all of that it gets dangerous. There is one road out of my town going east, (inland) it's 126 it has 2 road closures right now due to snow, ice and downed trees. An alternate route, that is hours out of the way, is closed as well. So we are stuck until things can get open. How are things where you live?

 

Today I saw the foot doctor. We've become friends and so when he walked into the room he asked with a big smile, under his mask, "How are you this week?" I told him I was a bit disappointed in that my ankle wasn't completely healed.  He walk over to the recliner medical chair and looked down at my foot. He let out with a big, "WOW!" He said I have done an amazing job healing the wound and in medical terms the wound is healed. There is one little spot that the skin needs to cover. He said that will heal over in a day or so. 

He gave me instruction on how to massage the area, that I can get rid of the medical boot, I can start home physical therapy, and even walk on the tread mill. Guess what, Mr. M. will be happy that I can now manage the stairs and start sleeping with him again. I have been sleeping on the couch down stairs for that last 3 months. 

It started like this. Blood blisters from the surgery and lupus attack. 

The bandage and medical shoe I was wearing opened it up and created this. There was no pain so I didn't realize what what happening.

I have learned much about skin and the way it heals. With the Dr. oversight I did my own wound care with herbals.

It is so hard to take a photo of your own ankle. LOL I don't need to see the Dr. for a month unless something happens. 

Now for something I have been waiting for.

A walk in my back yard.

Oregon is one of the best places for muchrooms.	Each year I find new varieties in my yard.
These mushrooms are everywhere.	My pork n beans plants is growing and doesn't seem to be bothered by the weather.
These grow year round.	and wherever it wants.
Now this is bad, when I can get a family pack of chicken 14 pieces.	and pay more for eggs.
One of the onions from my garden last year.	Has decided it wants to grow. This is day one.
Chile Relleno casserole	It is the best served with rice.
