As
mentioned yesterday there was a slight Hick Up with One of
the Modifications done to the Prototype. This
morning after starting the day by finishing off the Jig I was
handed the replacement part to fix the Prototype Problem fresh
out of the Paint Booth. It was a step back to the beginning
that ignored the Customer’s Request for strength and
lubrication. Figuring there would be more changes to make soon they
had me install it with the intention of being replaced later. My
adage is to “Do it right the first time”.
As
soon as the Jig was finished they assigned me the task of
cleaning Fixtures that had just been painted. As someone told
me at lunch this place has everyone doing everything when the
occasion arises. The cleaning meant making certain there was no Paint
on any surface area that would contain machined pieces. Once I
was finished the Shipper could send them out.
Gerry
the Supervisor was calling the Architect every Hour
today still trying to get the dimensions so I can complete the
other Aluminium job.
Kathy
had a much more interesting day then I did. She was also quite
surprised how confident she was driving to where she needed without
getting upset. Learning to use Street Names
rather then Landmarks was working much better. Since I had
coached her on Sunday she said that even the Road Construction
didn’t bother her.
She
started at the Dyna Care blood
lab in Windsor. She only had to
wait Forty-Five Minutes which is far better then
the near Three Hours we were there for before. Since she
needed to get Blood drawn for Two different Doctors the
Lab would take less Blood
then if she had gone twice.
Next
she went to Motor City Community Credit
Union to pick up coins for our Laundry Money.
Then
she went to Hearing Life in
Tecumseh. The last couple of days
Kathy had been experiencing sound similar to an Echo in her
right ear so we thought that there was a problem with her Hearing
Aide. After they tested it and she was still hearing the same
thing without the device they recommended she go to our Family
Doctor for Treatment.
She
took the E. C. Rowe Expressway
across to the west end of Windsor
and soon arrived at our Family Doctor’s
Office. Since Kathy didn’t have an appointment she had
to wait nearly an Hour and a Half before seeing the Doctor.
It turned out that she has a bad Ear Infection that if left
untreated would get worse. A prescription for Antibiotics and
Ear Drops was issues.
It
was nearly 1:15 when Kathy finally got to Wendy’s
to have lunch. She ordered a Grilled Chicken Wrap off the
Value Menu, a small Chocolate Frosty and a Senior’s
Soft Drink. Her lunch cost all of $3.60.
She
stopped at the Great Canadian Superstore
where she picked up some Fruits, Vegetables and few
other things before bring it all Home.
She
only put the Refrigerated stuff away before driving all the
way to Pharma Care in Amherstburg
to get her Prescriptions filled. The sooner she
starts the Antibiotics the sooner her ear will improve.
I
was surprised when I arrived Home
to find some groceries still on the counter but no Kathy. I barely
had the chance to take my Work Shoes off and empty my lunch bag when
she arrived.
For
supper while I grilled some Chicken Kabobs Kathy was busy
microwaving some Corn-on-the-Cob. It all tasted wonderful.
We
headed out the door shortly after 5:30 heading back to Amherstburg
for our visit with our son Kevin and daughter-in-law
Melissa. We try to visit every week but sometimes things happen that
we can’t like last week. That meant we had a lot more information
to exchange in a shorter period of time. Because of my early wake up
time I was feeling worn out and we left shortly before 8:00.
At
Home
that
warm shower helped to wake me a bit. I am
very
proud that Kathy had no issues driving around today. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Glad to hear Kathy is slowly but surely growing more confident with each passing day.
ReplyDeleteI rather feel bad for all you have to put up with at work. Seems your boss, supervisor and architect need to get their act together. Best of luck.
Way to go Kathy!! It's nice having the confidence to get things taken care of in your absence.
ReplyDeleteGood job Kathy. Sorry about the ear infection. I hope you had a book with to you read to pass the time in the waiting room.
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up on my reading. Sounds like your job is a bit challenging but as long as you are happy, that makes it worth while. Sorry about Kathy's ear infection. She is doing awesome getting around, it is hard when someone takes you everywhere to get there on your own.
