Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario.
I slept like a log until 6:00 this morning and no matter how
hard I tried to go back to sleep it wasn’t happening. By the time 7:00 arrived I
had done my morning blog reading and was moving to the Weather Channel so I could
check the destruction that had occurred through the Central Northern States as
well as Ontario caused by yesterday’s storm. I find it hard to believe that as
many as 65 tornadoes touched down in so many states causing eight deaths at
this point. Even though it is not normal for this time of year it is still not
unheard of. Kathy finally joined me shortly after 8:00 claiming to have been
tossing and turning since around 6:00. Told you before if one of us doesn’t
sleep well neither does the other.
After breakfast we headed back to the computers to catch up
on any newer posts that we hadn’t read before I went to take my morning shower
and shave. Kathy E-mailed our daughter Karen to see how Tyler was doing after
bruising his tailbone yesterday playing hockey. Karen and Greg took him to
Emergency last night and after sitting unseen for over four hours they left.
Karen took the day off today and brought Tyler to the local Medical Clinic
where within an hour he’d been examined, X-rayed and sent home. The diagnosis
was the tailbone is not broken or fractured only bruised so he continues using
Tylenol for pain and applying ice to reduce the swelling. Kathy went online and
located special protection for hockey players suffering from tailbone injuries.
She phoned Karen to let her know about it and Tyler answered. He said it hurts pretty bad and that he will
tell his Mom about the protection.
Kathy made us Hot Beef Sandwiches for lunch and shortly
after we were on our way across town to see my family doctor. This was a
follow-up visit where he reviewed the results of the Ultra-sound that I’d had
more thoroughly than the surgeon had done. He took the time to explain it more
completely and other than the aches and pains from age he said I was in good
health. He then wished us a good trip south this winter and he’ll see me next
year.
On the way home we had a number of stops. Three only took
minutes to accomplish but the other at the drug store required waiting for my prescription
to be filled. However when we left we were also walking out with Kathy’s meds
that needed a large shopping bag to carry them home in because it is a 6 month
supply.
Back at the apartment Kathy started cooking supper and I wanted
to ask her about something. I was certain that she heard me coming in the room
but she didn’t. When she turned around to see me there I thought she was going
to pass out. Her reaction startled me so much that I still can’t remember what
it was I was going to ask her.
Tomorrow we’ll continue making progress in getting ready to
go south for the winter. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a
comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Why
did the baker stop making donuts?
Because
he got tired of the hole business.
Only 37 days to go, better get ready.
ReplyDeleteOur family tells the story of my Aunt who shortly after she married, my Uncle came into the kitchen where she was tenderizing beef and surprised her. She turned and hit him square in the forehead with the meat mallet and knocked him out. Good thing Kathy didn't have a mallet!
