Most of you know I got the second cortisone shot in my right elbow on Thursday. The first shot hurt, then the joint hurts worse after the shot for a day or two. The second shot almost made me lose my cookies on the Doctor, I did not sleep Thursday night due to the pain, Friday was pretty much a do nothing day too. Yesterday morning my arm was still hurting BUT it was a beautiful day for the garden...get my drift? (seriously, still a little sore but much better)

My wonderful husband helped me in the yard all day.....COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAY! He is wonderful.

He took me to get a yard and a half of mulch.
Remember the Iris Bed, here it is freshly mulched, now I need edging....

This was the main entrance to my Full Sun Garden...

This is it now..

I layed down the newspaper and husband tossed on the Mulch..

and brought some rocks around from the side of the house..

I had to place some containers in there for it not to look so empty...what will go in here come spring? Any ideas....I don't want the plants very tall...Oh, I'm getting an arbor to go over the walkway....Hope your Sunday is great!

Tendonitis!

Hi Guys and Dolls,



Went for my second cortisone injection since March for tendonitis in my right elbow. This injection took longer and hurt much more than the first one. As most of you know the cortisone only treats the inflammation, not the pain. So, the pain is more severe after the injection for a couple days until the inflammation diminishes. I came home with a wrist guard and a tennis band on my arm. The Doctor wants me to try to take the pressure off of the tendon because it is causing muscle spasms and slight swelling. He said this looks like one of the more severe cases of tendonitis...sigh...I do hope the pain is better by Saturday...it's going to be beautiful gardening weather!! I'll be around reading your blogs, might not comment much today and tommorrow, as this little note was quite the challenge!
