Tara, James and Kobe stopped by to see me & his Nanny, but his Nanny had already left to go home. It had started to rain and we didn't think they would be around to see us, but what a surprise I had. I really wish his Nanny had stayed.

Happy Halloween!
My grandchildren are all enjoying Halloween.
Here is the front view of, Jonathan, dressed as a pirate for Halloween. Must be a year for pirates!
And here is his back view of the costume.

Doesn't my grandchildren look so nice for their Trick-or-Treat night? Stephanie, their mother, made the costumes, except the Winnie the Pooh, and I'm not sure about the Pirate one either, but I'm sure she will tell me, when she sees my posting. I just love Justin in his Skeleton costume, especially his mask, so original. She has a lot of talent and imagination when it comes to making costumes and making birthday cakes.
On my sidebar is her Blog please look at it and see the Pirate Ship she made Timothy a few weeks ago for his 4th birthday. It was so cute and it was very delish with it being homemade, because of Jacob's allergies. I think it was her best tasting cake, ever!
I believe Leanna is Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. She was voted most funniest costume at her Brownie Troops Halloween Party, but I think it is adorable. She looks like a blonde Laura Ingalls.
CORRECTION: MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, STEPH, DID MAKE THE WINNIE THE POOH COSTUME. I WANT TO MAKE SURE SHE GETS THE CREDIT FOR IT, BECAUSE NOWADAYS, SHE HAS NO TIME FOR NOTHING, BETWEEN HOME-SCHOOLING AND RAISING FOUR BEAUTIFUL KIDS, WHILE MY SON WORKS TO PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY, SHE IS EXTREMELY BUSY.

I met a really nice compassionate lady named, Trish
click on the title and you can take a tour of "The Fitness Club"
I just want to tell people about the "Fitness Club" I belong to in Forks Township. It is only $59.00 to join and $10.00 a month for access to all the gym equipment. They have 4 different equipment for cardio, all kinds of free weights to use, exercise balls for strengthening, and what I like the most is the circuit. What the circuit is, are exercise machines that form a circle and exercises every part of your body in 30 minutes; like Curves. If you are familiar with Curves, that is what the circuit is.
The circuit machines is what I use, because the trainer(Manny) that setup my exercise program said it was the best for me, being I have knee replacements, thumb joint replacements and severe arthritis in my joints.
Ok, now to get onto Trish. Her and her hubby own the "Fitness Club." My girlfriend, Cyndee, told her about my situation with not having medical insurance because Cyndee is very concerned for me. She in turn told Cyndee that she used to call around when she lived in New Jersey to help people that were less fortunate than her. Well, let me tell you what she did. She called to find out about where to go to get a FREE mammogram, because it has been 3 years, since my last mammogram was done. Being I had problems in the past, I really shouldn't go without having one every year. I just had graduated, 3 years ago, to having them once a year. For three years straight I had to have them every 6 months, because my body produces cysts and the doctors don't like for me to go without being checked.
Trish found out that the Easton Hospital Clinic was holding a FREE mammogram last Wednesday Night from 5:30-7:00 PM. It was first come first show kind of thing. I didn't have it done there because I am in a Shuffleboard League and our games start at 7:00 PM and I can't be late because then I can't play or we may have to forfeit if I was past our allotted time. So, my other friend, Karen, did a Google search for FREE mammograms in our area and called me with their phone numbers. So, I called the 1-800 number and it went to St. Luke's Hospital. It is a Women's Clinic that provides FREE mammograms and gynecological exam with a PAP test. The Lord has blessed me with 2 very good friends that are concerned about my well-being.
Today, as we went to the gym, Trish, stopped us to ask how I made out and, my friend, Cyndee, was telling her about what happened to me last Friday with my finger. Then, I preceeded to tell her about Chuck waking up with a swollen face on the one side. There she went to the phonebook and called Dr. Milano's office, becasue she sent someone over to his office last week. She said Dr. Milano is also a member of the "Fitness Club." I guess he was in the same situation as I am in with no insurance/dental. Dr. Milano also worked with this man to get the help he needed. I overheard Trish telling the receptionist that she used to do this in New Jersey, but she doesn't know this area too well yet, getting help for the misfortunate.
I want to thank Trish and all the kindness she has showed me, since joining the "Fitness Club." So, by thanking her I am going to put the "Fitness Club" website link on my sidebar.

What a Day I had Today!
My day started out with a bad infection in my finger near the nail. I had it a few days and I was soaking it and putting Neosporin on it and I even used the infamous Black Salve. I really thought the Black Salve would draw out the infection, but it didn't do anything for it.
I had to take my friend Nicki to her neurological appointment at Sacred Heart Hospital, so while we were there she asked her doctor to look at my finger. He then preceeded to call his nurse out to me because she used to work for a Wound Healing Center. The doctor sent us downstairs to a doctor's office and we were told to tell them that he sent us there. We got nowhere. We came back to Easton and we went to Redi-Care. That place is a joke and a half. They wouldn't see me unless I paid $75.00. We walked out of there very fast. Then we went to the clinic by Easton Hospital, but there were NO doctors working today, so she gave me a name and number to call when I got home. Meanwhile, Nicki called my State Senator's Office to see if I could get some help, being I have NO insurance. She called us back with a phone number, but as usual nobody answered, only an anwsering machine. So I left my name and number, maybe they will call me back, who knows. Nicki and I made several different calls to other Urgent Care places and the one on Easton Ave. in Bethlehem is through St. Luke's Hospital and they said the office visit is $200. I almost passed out when she told me that. What is wrong with this picture?
After taking Nicki home I went to my friend Cyndee's house, being she is a nurse, I thought she might be able to help me. She didn't realize how bad my infection was, until she saw it. She told me I had no choice I had to go to ER at Easton Hospital. Well, let me tell you what an exciting time I had. I didn't wait long until I went back to a room. But, then again, I arrived there around 3:30-4:00 and never left there until 8:30.
They took my vitals and they weren't good. My blood pressure in my left arm was 209/121 and then she took it in my right arm and it was 188/108. She said to me, do you have high blood pressure and I said yes. It is my fault, because I get so busy with my day that I forget to take my BP medicine. Well, I don't think I will forget anymore after the doctor and nurse told me what could happen to me. They gave me blood pressure medicine and took it again before I left and it came down 184/105, so I guess I have to face it that I will be on BP medicine the rest of my life.
The doctor came in and spray this liquid to freeze my finger because he had to lance it and squeeze it to help relieve the infection. He said I had no choice that no matter what I did it wouldn't have gotten better. He said it was a bacterial infection in the nail. So, now I have this huge bandage on my ring finger of my left hand (and I'm a lefty). It has to stay on for a few days then I have to soak it and put medicine on it and wrap it up again. I am on pain pill and antibiotic. Got them at Wegman's. The antibiotic was FREE, but the pain medicine was $14.00.
Now I know why I want Medical Reform, for us people that have NO insurance and are on a waiting list to get help.

Happy 4th Birthday, Timmy
Nanny-Sue and Pop-pop want to wish our little munchkin Timmy a very Happy 4th Birthday. Timmy has waited for a long time to have a party and tomorrow it is. Today, Timmy is 4 years old and boy is he growing like a weed. His mommy started homeschooling this year and he likes to do the fun things in class, like looking at books, making crafts, and baking, because he is a little young for school. But at his age it is still fun to be a part of what his older siblings are doing.
Timmy is the one in orange with his baby brother, Jacob, behind him in this picture.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIMMY

This is For Us People That Can't Sleep at Night
Click on title it will take you to the article.
Since, I started going through my change of life about, 7 years now, I can't fall asleep at night. I can be so very tired and dozing off in my lounge chair, but as soon as my head hits that pillow it is like I'm wide-eyed and bushy tail. No matter how long I lay there, my mind just won't shut off.
So, here are some helpful hints to help us sleep deprived woman and maybe some men.
I have done the oatmeal at bedtime and never knew it helped me sleep so much better, but I do remember that I wasn't tired when I awoke in the morning.

The Best and Worst Snack Foods From Vending Machines
I think I really should invest in this book "Eat This Not That" I have learned so much just by this article I found on Yahoo. I would have never thought that cheezy goldfish is better than cheezits, if it wasn't for this artical.

Tom and his youngest son, Jacob
I absolutely love this picture that Steph took of Tom and Jacob. They both look so happy cuddling together. They were at Leanna's Brownie Troop's play this afternoon.
You can see Timothy's little head sticking out beside his father's, head. It is really nice that he can join them at family functions like this.
