Ollie’s tidbits

Good news or is it? for me…MRI of the brain showed no neuroma or abnormalities…yeaaa…don’t we always wonder if we have a brain tumor? At least I did…and MRI of cervical spine, did show some arthritis, DJD, and spinal stenosis…ugh…that’s why my poor neck hurts…but, nothing that could be causing the tinnitus…I am very greatful for good health..but I feel I could go crazy sometimes with this high pitched ringing in my left ear…so…next step perhaps is an audiology appt. for a hearing aid…my doctor wants me to have some physical therapy for the neck…but, right now we have no medical insurance…

More good, I mean great news! After interviewing all last week, Stanley has a new Fulltime with benefits position with the VNA!! wow…hopefully, they will appreciate his great abilities and sensitive nature as an very qualified RN…

Lately I have had 2 very interesting dreams,,,one that I was getting 5 blessings? so, I usually reflect daily on my blessings, at least I try to. So, I am not sure what this dream meant…the other dream was very emotional about my parents and me…My dear Dad has been dead since 1970 and I can never really remember a dream about him, even though I always wanted to have one…My sweet Mama died in 1999 and I have had a lot of dreams about her…but this one was very strange…

I dreamed that we were all packing for a trip..my Dad in the dream was all dressed in white and seemed to have a lot of white light around him…my Mother was like the most of the other people in the dream and we were laying our clothes out on the bed…the next scene was in a restaurant with a bar…I ask the bartender, who also was dressed in white with a white light all around him, “do you have the metal lids for these wine carafes?” He reached over and opened a big refrigerator and said “Oh these are better.” The refrigerator was filled with fruit juices….My Father went to sit at the back of the restaurant, there were some other people there and I know in the dream I knew them but now I can’t remember who they were…still bathed in this white light my Dad stood near me and there was a little dog on the table…I said “Oh, is that our dog! get him off the table” My Dad assured me it was ok and the dog was not ours…Wild! huh,,,,the next part of the dream was disturbing…a woman with a little blond haired child was standing to the left of the table we were at and I picked up the little child, who had a pacifier in his mouth, I thought in the dream “what a good little boy, he didn’t even cry when I picked him up with his Mama standing here.” I ask the Mother where he was going to sit and she replied “Oh he will lay here” Next to us was a very antique cradle, very shallow, and when I think about it it was shaped like a little coffin, ugh, I didn’t like that part. The next scene we are in the car, I don’t know if I am sitting between my parents or in the back seat, but I know my Dad is driving,,,, and I say out loud, oh no, I forgot my clothes Mom,,,oh no I forgot my sunglasses,,, I can’t go…I am not ready…I’m NOT READY….and that was the end of the dream…WHOA…wild huh….I know what I think about this dream…but, any input to help me?

We went to the movies last night and saw the DaVinci Code…I love Tom Hanks…it was ok…Stanley liked it somewhat because he had read the book…but, we decided it was not one we would buy…

We are doing yard work today together…and then grocery shopping.. We are going to the Whole Foods store here to check it out…Hope you all have a great weekend…
