Somehow I seemed to think, that by just going back to taking the Nighttime Medication that I stopped taking for a logical reason, I would just automatically react as if I had never stopped taking them in the first place. Last night, was nearly as bad as the first night taking them, with broken sleep. What I was hoping for, was how I started sleeping after a Week’s worth of usage was allowing me to do. Hopefully I can get back to that state of relaxation soon.
After a back and forth night, I was glad to have set the Alarm. That is something that anyone retired should never have to use. It wasn’t long before we had finished our breakfast snacks. After hearing the forecast on the “6 o’clock Local News” last night I wanted to check if there had been any changes to The Weather Network. Everything looked clear until a sudden shift in Wind direction changed things this afternoon.
I had a yearly appointment his morning that Kathy did not want to come with me to, so I dropped her next door at a Shoppers Drug Mart to look around, with the instruction that I would meet her there after my appointment. I was gone an entire Fifteen Minutes but went into the store by the rear door instead of the front. With lots of people walking around I searched the store for Five Minutes with no luck finding her. Since Thursday is Seniors Discount Day and I had a $10.00 Discount Card, I picked up Vitamin Pills that will be needed the next time I do the Doucettes at “Sale” prices to boot. As I was going through the Check-Out, I could see Kathy leaned back in the Car having a nap.
My next appointment was Four Hours away but Kathy was hungry so we stopped at Arby’s to take advantage of their Two-for One Sales. It all added up to time away from home which helped us both relax.
Back at our building, Kathy insisted on walking from our parking spot for exercise. Inside I had the chance to check my E-Mail that I missed this morning. There was a Confirmation Message about a Surgeon’s Consultation Appointment that I had never received before, but I had an idea. I was going to text our daughter Karen but Fat Fingered the call button. Years ago I would not have called, but between herself, after a very serious Auto Accident and other friends, she easily identified that Doctor as competent, but cautioned me of one of his Associates, that had Bad Surgical Results. By the time I called back at 11:45 the Office, the best I could do was to leave a Voice Message.
I got carried away reading Blogs, when I realized my second appointment was in only Thirty Minutes. By the time we made it to the Car, drove through all the Construction Zones, I was signing in just on time at the Windsor Pain Care Clinic. The Waiting Room was so packed that some were standing by the walls, but somehow there were a lot of extra chairs out in the main Hall. I sat out there with Kathy and we talked while People Watching. Others came out to sit near us when suddenly it sounded like gravel pelting off the roof. They were all wondering what that was when I simply asked a late arrival if it was Raining. When he rolled his eyes, pulled his shirt away and shook his head in affirmation, no words were needed. It was over with in Two Minutes.
Only Ninety Minutes late today, Kathy was invited in to see what I go through during these appointments. When I received a Dozen Injections to my Shoulder, she cringed. Jeffery confirmed that he had made the referral to the Surgeon after one of our discussions and that it might be the only way to fix my problem. I have been thinking that for over a Year, when I fell backwards injuring my Right Shoulder. It just seemed that the Patient’s Words were ignored, for those of the professionals.
It was past 4:00 as we headed towards home. Kathy suggested eating out to save me the frustration of cooking. If you have had a chance to think it through, cooking is not frustrating. We used a Coupon to have supper at Wendy’s. Paula was training another student that looked scared to death to do anything.
We made a stop at Dollarama for some Breakfast Juice, before finishing our errands for the day.
The Weather Guesser on the “6 o’clock Local News” confirmed the worst part of the storm had hit the Bayfield, Ontario area. With more to come tomorrow. We later watched to more History Episodes about Dinosaurs and The Americas, narrated by Tom Hanks. Kathy had a hard time staying awake.
We only have one medical thing to do tomorrow and we will both be looking forward to it.
