It
seems that after all the scrubbing I’ve been doing on our Trailer
has been taking a bit of a toll on my Shoulder but there was
nothing I could do or take for it. Kathy spent another hour in her
recliner last night before being able to sleep in our bed. All that
restlessness through the night could only add up to our sleeping
later on a morning that we really couldn’t afford to.
As
soon as I got up I turned on my Laptop before starting to get
breakfast ready. It was not my usual quiet way of doing so and it
served as the perfect wake up call for Kathy.
When
she finally fell back to sleep she was just starting to be able to
breathe through her nose. By the time we finished our Rhubarb
Sauce on Toast it was time for the Antibiotics and
Spray to help her along. Since she didn’t take the Reflux
Medication yesterday things should start doing what they were
supposed to today.
While
she checked her E-mail and enjoyed her Tea I made the
bed and got dressed. She then headed upstairs to get ready for our
day when I came down. As soon as I checked The
Weather Network the next thing I did was check my E-mail.
The One in particular was a Questionnaire from
the Canadian Blood Services.
Instead of waiting until arriving at the
Clinic today by doing this in the privacy of our Home
I could print out a Form that would save me a lot
of time. The Form was printed around the same time I finished
drinking my Coffee.
I
got a quick Phone Call from Stephanie at Leisure
Trailer. She was corresponding with Jayco
about our Trailer repairs that they didn’t do
properly. They want to schedule it’s return but Stephanie figured
it would be easier if I worked out a date with them instead. She was
about to send me the information via E-mail. As soon as Kathy
came downstairs we headed out the door.
Our
first destination was the Arthritis Clinic
in Windsor to see the
Specialist that is trying to improve Kathy’s comfort. We
arrived ten minutes early but it seemed that he was also running
behind schedule. It’s sad when you see younger people in worse
shape then we are. One of our own grandsons has Juvenal Arthritis
in his legs which is not good for someone who likes to play soccer.
After learning that Kathy is presently dealing with a Sinus
Infection he ordered more Blood Test for after she is
finished with the Antibiotics.
Since
we had other places to go we headed to the east end of the city where
our next stop was the Motor City Community
Credit Union. We have an upcoming Birthday as well
as the need for Laundry Money.
From
there we headed over to Wendy’s
where we had lunch from their Value Menu. We each had a
Chicken Wrap, a Small Chocolate Frosty and a Senior’s
Soft Drink for a total of $7.19. We were satisfied but not
stuffed.
We
drove over to the Canadian Tire Store
where I planned to get additional 6 Inch Buffing Pads for our
Polisher. We were surprised that they no longer carry this
smaller unit since this is where we bought it. They did try to
encourage us to buy a larger more expensive unit but we passed on
that. We did buy some Scotties Kleenex Tissue as Kathy’s
Sinuses were draining much quicker then she expected. The one
advantage was that she could finally breathe unrestricted through her
nose.
We
drove over to Princess Auto. This
would be similar to Harbor Freight in
the US. They had exactly what we
needed for the Buffing Pads. We also did a quick walk through
the Surplus Area where they had the Cargo Nets that we
use to secure our Barrels and Bicycle for 30% of
their regular cost. Even our Bank Account walked out happy.
From
there we went to Green Shield to
drop off the Claim Form that Mary from
Healthy Heals gave to Kathy. We pay up front but generally
are reimbursed within the week.
From
there we went to Guardian Storage
to gather our Mail and to drop off some things in our Climate
Controlled Storage Unit.
It
was still early so we stopped at Tim
Horton’s where we had Mixed Fruit Smoothies. It
was amazing how many people came in after us. There was one guy who
wanted Two and a Half Sugars in his coffee. Not Two,
not Three but Two and a Half. Yeah Right!
It
was after 2:00 so we headed over to the old Red
Cross building. While Kathy sat in the Waiting Room
I headed to the other side of the building to VitalAire.
It was Eight Weeks ago that we were told our CPAP Supplies
were on Back Order. Taryn was off today but Amy checked
the supplies in the back room that had just arrived today. Guess what
she found.
I
had time to put our supplies in the Car and just sit down when
the Canadian
Blood Services
clinic opened. With the printout from this morning I was finished
making my 117th Blood Donation
before my appointed time. After having an Orange Juice we were
on our way again.
We
stopped at the Pioneer gas
station to top up the Car. The cost has risen by Ten Cents
per Litre of Gas but the Diesel has remained the
same.
It
was after 4:00 so we sopped at the Walker
Road Hi-Ho (Michigan Diner)
to have our supper. We ordered off Halibut Fish and
Onion Rings off the Senior’s Menu. The Dinner Buns
were so fresh out of the oven that we could not handle them for a few
minutes.
We
didn’t have to worry about eating too much because our next stop
was the great Canadian Super Store
for groceries. We walked for nearly an Hour gathering most of
everything that was on our Shopping List.
Back
at Home
after putting all the groceries away the only thing we could think
of doing was sitting down to relax. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Congratulations on your 117th blood donation!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a very busy day. Glad that Kathy is finally making progress and hope she is soon back to her normal self.
Such a busy day. I'm glad all your medical services are within reach. I can't believe you've give so much blood!!
ReplyDeleteA busy day indeed. Good news for Kathy. As to your shoulder, maybe you should try limiting yourself to a short period of polishing only every two days.
ReplyDeleteNo we have not fallen off the face of the earth. Just life being life and busy. I see you two have been as busy as ever. Sorry to read that Kathy is under the weather hope she feels better soon and the Arthritis Specialist came help make her more comfortable. Congratulations on your 117 blood donation. Take care.
