This blogging every few days is wearing me down and testing my recall abilities. When writing every day, things are fresh in my mind, even if it sounds overly dramatic at times.
This
past Monday
the
26th
was Municipal
Elections
in the province of Ontario,
but
considering the cooler mornings we have been having, we decided to
wait past lunch to do that. Our daughter Karen showed up just as we
were getting ready to go, knowing that Kathy would make the walk if
she were with her. We walked down the Ganatchio
Trail
until we reached the
Park
with No-Name,
where the Pedestrian
Crosswalk,
helped us to safely cross Riverside
Drive.
The Polling
Station
was inside the Windsor
Yacht
Club
and since the sailing season is coming to an end, it was the perfect
place to be. There may have been a Dozen
people ahead of us, but Ten
Minutes
later
we had cast our ballots.
As we were leaving, there in the middle of the line that formed after we had gone in, was Kris, my teaching partner, who I had not seen since retiring, Seventeen Years ago. Kris and his wife had attended our wedding. As we headed for the door, Kathy just shook her head. As we exited the building, there was Wayne a friend from the Canadian Blood Services, wondering what happen to my Arm/Shoulder. Kathy asked if I could go anywhere that nobody knew me.
Karen had also brought over Shepherd's Pie for supper so took the time to make a Salad to go with it. It was an early night due to early morning appointments starting at Dark-O-Thirty.
Kathy
was not impressed when the alarm went off Tuesday
morning. We
took the time to
have our breakfast snack without Coffee
before heading out.
Arriving at Windsor Regional Hospital Metropolitan Campus, minutes after 7:00, the closest we could park was the far end of the lot. After going through Admitting, we basically wondered through the entire basement of the building to get to the Fracture Clinic. Finally, we were called in minutes after my appointed time. Once the Steri Strips and Stitches were removed it wasn’t long before the Surgeon broke down the time frame of my recovery and extending it by a Week.
Heading back towards the entrance, when who should we run into for the second time in Eighteen Hours, Kris. Can you tell we are both retired?
We drove over to Paul’s Diner where we had eaten Breakfast before. I suggested to Kathy that we skip the Potatoes so we would not waddle out. She still had Home Fries that she took home, but they added Pancakes to my order with Canadian Maple Syrup as a topper.
Since we arrived at our Family Doctor’s Office nearly an Hour early, Lisa, had us in within Five Minutes. George, listened closely to our concerns and adjusted Kathy’s medications dramatically.
Ahead of schedule, we dropped our Prescriptions off at Health First Pharmacy, before going to the Zehr’s grocery store. We needed a few necessities and one was Facial Tissues while the other was Laundry Detergent. We hate how the stores continually move things around, but in the process of walking those aisles, we walked by someone that looked familiar to me. We both went around a shelf from the opposite ends. As we met near the middle, I shocked Ed when I greeted him by name. He and his wife also attended our wedding Twenty-Five Years ago. We have all aged and but we still look the same. Kathy could not believe that we started talking as if it was only yesterday.
Wendy’s
was our lunch stop. With all our Coupons
now expired we lucked out with their newly displayed Special.
We still waddled
our
way
back
to the Car.
We were tired enough to get to Bed early yesterday. It was my Cell Phone that was ringing in the Livingroom that woke us up this morning, and it was a good thing. It was another breakfast snack, before we headed out the door.
We arrived at Advanced Rehabilitation Center (ARC) with time to spare, but since I have been there so many times, I was brought right in. The final exercise actually caused considerable Pain. They did extra icing.
We again had Wendy’s for lunch before getting our Mail at Guardian Storage, then collecting our medications at Health First Pharmacy.
Karen called with plans to take Kathy out tomorrow.
We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza for supper with a small dish of Frozen Yogurt for dessert.
