I
was surprised when I got up before 7:30 that it was still fairly dark
inside the Apartment. Once the
Balcony Blinds were open I understood totally. The Clouds
were so thick that there was no glow of where the Sun was.
Kathy joined me just after 8:30.

We
had the chance to have a Lite breakfast then to get some
Computer time while drinking our Hot Drinks before
heading out the Door.
With
an Appointment with our Family Doctor for this
afternoon we used the scenic route of Riverside
Drive to travel from the East side of
Windsor all the way to the West side. We didn’t
think we’d arrive as early as we did so we went next door to
Wendy’s for lunch.
Having
taken our time to eat we went to our Family
Doctor’s Office surprised to see the waiting room empty
at 12:30. We were immediately brought in to an Examination Room
for Kathy to have her Second Shingles Vaccine. When George
heard about the reaction that Kathy had to the First Vaccine
he deemed it unsafe for her to have this shot that there was
something in it that she was allergic to. Normally reactions are
worse for the Second Injection.
He
reviewed other issues with Kathy to see if they were getting better
or worse which resulted in a script for Blood Test and
an MRI. After he checked both our vitals I explained the
problem we were having with the Prescription Medication
Shortages and why. Using the vials that I had brought along he
wrote new Prescriptions to the exact amount that I requested
so that all her Medications will be renewed at the same time
for the same amount of days.
We
were leaving his Office at the time Kathy’s appointment had
been scheduled for so we drove over to Dynacare
on Dougall Avenue for Kathy’s
Blood Test. It surprised us that we were out of there within a
Half Hour.
Since
our day was already disrupted we went over to the Windsor
West Walmart where Kathy searched for some Organizing
Containers she wants for our storage room. We walked throughout
this recently redone store but could not find anything that would
work.
We
went to a nearby Dollarama where
I found a few things to help my organizing but Kathy again struck
out.
We
used the E.C.
Rowe Expressway
and were back on the East end in less then Ten Minutes.
We had planned on checking our Mail but a Train made us
change our minds. We went to another Dollarama
where Kathy was finally able to find what she was looking for at
prices far lower then Walmart.
It
was past 4:30 by this time so we used a Coupon and had supper
at Taco Bell. As soon as we sat
down to eat a line of customers filled the place up. We took our time
eating and People Watching. By the time we finished our meal
we could easily get out the door.
Back
at the Apartment we put our
purchases away before watching our 6 o’clock
Local News. We then spent some time on our Computers
until just before 9:00 when we watched The State Of
The Union. With our watching the Trial this last week
it was well advertised so we made plans to watch it. A real learning
experience for the both of us.
We
never saw the Sun
the entire day. We’ve got another busy day tomorrow. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I wish we in the USA had the kind of health care that you and your fellow Canadians are so fortune to have. Glad Kathy was able to see her physician, get her labs, new prescriptions and schedule an MRI all in one afternoon.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine told me that the Shingles vaccine was very painful so I have been avoiding it even though they offered it at a health fair for free.
The State of the Union address...more like the State of Division in our nation :-(
Nancy Pelosi summed it up best ! November can't get here fast enough.
DeleteHere's hoping Kathy's blood tests come out good! Alot of running around again but you're getting things done!
ReplyDeleteGlad the appointments were quick and hope Kathy's blood work comes out okay. I never got the shingles shot. I guess I'll play Russian roulette. Sorry to see our two parties so divided. They both represent the people and I know we're not that divided in what we need and want. Too political for my taste and certainly not good representation of the people.
