Still Smoky and Another Exam.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

I hope to continue having the same kind of night sleeping, that I did last night for a long time. After spending only Thirty Minutes in my Recliner, the next Seven Hours were spent sleeping in Bed.

We again managed to be awake close to the same time and after looking out our Balcony Door saw a thinning of the Smoke from the Northern Wildfires. That made us feel good along with the updated forecast of cooler temperatures.

We were just finishing our Coffees at our Computers, when I got a call from the Specialist’s Office that I had an appointment with today. They asked if I could come in ASAP. When we headed out the door, we even left our Computers on.

When we walked into the Waiting Room, it was packed. When the Receptionist asked me to fill out a form, even though I was saying that I had been there numerous times. That did not matter, but she was however surprised when I handed it back with my own information sheets attached.

I was finally called in at exactly the time of my original appointment. Kathy had forgotten to bring a Book to read, so she accompanied me inside and listened to the discussion. Another Medical Exam has to be done, but at least the only Preparation I need to do, is to not Eat or Drink anything that day. I’ll also be put asleep, so I will need a driver to bring me home. They will call me when the appointment is set but handed me a bunch more Paperwork to fill in and bring with me.

It was past 12:30 when we left and the first thing that Kathy said was “I’m hungry”.

When we pulled into Wendy’s for lunch the haze from the Wildfires had once again gotten thicker. When we went inside, other customers were putting N95 Masks on before going back outside. We only ordered Chicken Nuggets and Frosties, figuring they would hold us over until supper.

Getting back to our building, Kathy refused my offer to drop her off at the front entrance. Even though I tried telling her it was Safer for her, she said, “But who is going to watch out for you”? By the time we got inside, I could taste the Smoke, while Kathy said that she could not even smell it.

While Kathy sat at her Computer, I sat at the table, filling out the forms for both the Exam and the Surgery. It took me, nearly an Hour to complete them both. We then had a small dish of Grapes for an afternoon snack.

Knowing I had an appointment, Karen called to see how things were going. When told that Kathy would be driving me, she instantly volunteered to help. She was using the Blue-Tooth hands free in her Car, on her way to a Medical Appointment and she didn’t ask for help.

We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for supper, just as the “6 o’clock Local News” was coming on. The Weather Guesser said the Wildfire Smoke could breakdown tomorrow afternoon, if the forecasted Thunderstorms show upon schedule.

We later watched another episode of “The Americas”, narrated by Tom Hanks, then “Law and Order, Special Victims Unit”. There always seems to be something one can learn, even if the story is Fictional.

We’ll see what we do tomorrow.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

Everything that astonished me when I was young astonishes me even more today. The time will never come for me when there are no more discoveries to make. Every morning the world is as new again and I will not cease to flower except through death.”
