It
really felt strange not having to turn up the Blue Flame Heater
above the low setting this morning. Maybe Mother Nature
figured since it was now May 1st that it was
time to start warming up just a bit. I didn’t check the outside
temperature until 8:00 this morning when it was 46 F (8 C).
That was our high yesterday.
Slight focus problem through the Window. |
After
finishing our Coffee/Tea at our Computers we had a
pleasant surprise when the Sun finally broke through the
Clouds. Looking out our Side Window on the edge
of our neighbours Shed were Two Mourning Doves enjoying
the serenity of the world around them and thinking where they could
build a nest. Everywhere we looked this morning all we saw were Birds
gathering building materials to build nests.
We
were out the door by 10:30 this morning headed towards Windsor.
Our first stop was Guardian Storage
to collect the single piece of Mail that we had in our
Mailbox. Wendy was there and welcomed us back.
After
a quick stop at the Motor City Community
Credit Union for some pocket change. Then we took our time
crossing the city of Windsor by
taking Tecumseh Road. Travelling
through the heart of a city like that is the only way to see changes
that took place while we were away.
We
soon arrived at our Family Doctor to get him established as
Kathy’s new Doctor. Last fall before we headed south Kathy’s
former doctor was ignoring most of the problems that Kathy was
having. When I went for my Driver’s Medical the following
day she tagged along and signed in to his Clinic. As soon as
he saw Kathy’s Hand he told her the problem, prescribed a
Temporary Medication and scheduled Blood Tests to
validate his prognosis. Kathy saw him again before we left and her
hand was on the road to recovery. She made the decision then to
change doctors.
Our
appointment was for 11:45 but we didn’t get called in until 12:00.
Dr. Zahrebelny does not rush his patience and if he feels you should
see a Specialist he will refer you. Kathy now has a
host of Specialist Appointments along with Blood
Tests and Medical Imaging but she doesn’t mind
because he is taking care of her needs and not ignoring them like her
former Doctor. He also changed One of Kathy’s
Medications and told us how to make it easier to get the rest
of her other Medications Refilled. I needed a form filled out
for Insurance Purposes.
It
was nearly 1:30 when we headed over to the nearby Dairy
Queen to have our late lunch. Since we had a Gift Card
to use it cost us an entire Nickel out of our pockets to cover
the cost. Big Spenders!
We
made a quick stop at Walmart on
Dougal Avenue to get some
Distilled Water for our CPAP Machines.
We
had to stop at Home because Kathy
had forgotten a Paper and needed her new Health Card Number
that was on it. While there she also did more On-Line Banking
so that all our accounts are now up to date.
It
was minutes before 4:00 when it started Raining just we were
again heading out the door. This time we were heading back to
Amherstburg. Our destination was
the Health First Pharmacy (Pharma
Care) to hand in the New Medication
Prescription and have them FAX the other needed
Medications to Dr. Zahrebelny making him Kathy’s official
Doctor.
We
needed to waste some time so we stopped at Subway
at 5:00 where we shared a Twelve Inch Assorted Sub. While
there Ken a Pipe-Fitter that I used to work with before our
Plant Closure stopped by our table to say hello and was happy
to hear that we are still travelling.
We
still needed to stall a bit so we went to Canadian
Tire to do some walking. Instead made a few Purchases
for our Site. I spotted a replacement Cover for our
Gazebo. Then we spotted more Solar Powered Lights to
hang inside. Kathy also decided we needed to paint out Picnic
Table and Address Post so we bought some Paint.
Looks like we’ll be busy again soon.
We
sat in the car talking for a while to kill more time before heading
over to our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s house for our
Wednesday evening visit. We had just arrived when Melissa got home
from her Dentist Appointment. We had lots to
talk about but since this was My Birthday Melissa had prepared
a bunch of Snacks for us to munch on along with a Bottomless
Cup of Tea. Then just before we were about to leave out came a
Chocolate Cake to celebrate both Kathy’s and My Birthdays.
Thanks Guys!
While
we were visiting the Rain
finally stopped so it was an easy drive Home.
Once there I was trying to call Verizon
because even though we’ve cancelled their service they are still
charging us. Three
Times
we
were disconnected. I’ll call tomorrow when I have more time. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

so bad but it might have been worse.
Sounds like Kathy lucked out on a wonderful caring physician.
ReplyDeleteIt is comforting to have a good doctor. CAKE!!! Yeah, that's my squirrel talking! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday cake looks so good.
ReplyDeleteAre weather is warming up still cool in the morning.
Stay warm and dry.
Happy birthday Rick!
ReplyDeleteGlad Kathy is getting what she needs from your doctor, now hers! Happy Birthday Rick!! Another busy, great day for you two!!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than a caring doctor that actually listens to what you have to say and addresses your pains and ailments.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Rick your cake looks delicious.
I know all about having a team of specialists beyond your GP!
ReplyDeleteNew doctor sounds like a good plan! I used to have trouble getting Verizon to stop charging me after coming home. We're still using the electric heaters extensively here as it has remained unseasonably cool. The forecast is 21C for Saturday so maybe that is about to change.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that Kathy got a new doctor who actually will help with her needs.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Rick! Sounds like you are well settled and the weather is turning around - finally!
As we get older, our health is even more important as our bodies often let us down (even if we are feeling the effects of bad choices when younger). A doctor that is a good listener and diagnostician is a real blessing.
