Rude Wake Up and He’s Got This.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Though it was a necessary evil when in the working world, having to suddenly wake up to start the day, was never high on my priority list, but that was how my day started. No it wasn’t an Alarm going off, or someone banging on the door, but my CPAP Hose blew off my Mask. Though I wasn’t gasping for air, the rhythm of my sleep was gone after I found the Hose on the floor.

I had everything ready for breakfast and sitting at my Computer by 7:30. Thankfully I’d had an otherwise restful night. Kathy joined me just after 8:00.

With an afternoon appointment with our Financial Advisor we first took care of a few other things. The first was to have lunch at Taco Bell, where we used a Coupon for lunch. Then we stopped at Motor City Community Credit Union to do some banking.

We stopped at Guardian Storage to collect our Mail but had a heck of a time parking because of a Moving Van filling all those spots. Kathy was just happy that it was me driving instead of her, or she would have just drove by.

We headed across town to meet up with Mark and had a chance to see other drivers that needed more practice at parking. We were able to move a few things around so that we will be ready to travel once I’m ready to travel. We needed to do a little backtracking in order to finish getting everything finalized.

Even though it has been weeks since Sorough contacted me, but today he texted me in the middle of our meeting. When Mark stepped out for a moment, I was able to Text him the information he needed. When he replied he simply said “Thanks, I got this now.”

The temperature finally broke above the Freezing Mark, though not by much. This weekend appears to be bringing spring weather, Rain but Upper Sixties. We’ll keep our fingers crossed.

I’m certain many of you have had problems leaving Comments on Blogs, because we have as well. My first problem would show that “You are not signed in to Google” even though I was. There are still many Blogs I can only comment as Anonymous but some Blogs don’t except Anonymous Comments. Lately I’ve been getting a different message “Internal error delivering your message on the blog” even after repeated attempts, the comment will not publish. We’ll just keep trying to break through these roadblocks.

Should Have Known Better.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I should have known better, than to think I’d finally beat the Sleep Problem. I spent most of the night tossing and turning from the Hip/Leg Pain and finally just got out of bed around 7:30, readied things for breakfast and went to my Computer until Kathy got up. She said she still felt tired. Probably from getting bounced around all night.

The Wind was really blowing but the temperature was 57 F (14 C) at that early hour.

Breakfast was a Muffin and Juice along with a Coffee at the Computers. We were able to get a few things taken care of On-Line.

Lunch was a Bacon/Veggie Omelette with Iced Tea.

After seeing Flurries outside we checked The Weather Network to find the temp was down in the Mid-Thirties, 36 F (2 C). That meant wearing heavier coats when we headed out. That didn’t matter because the Wind seemed to go right through us.

I had an appointment at Wyandotte Chiropractic Center and was lucky enough to park right out front. I had spoken about how the first Surgeon had referred me to another, saying he was too booked to fix me up. Richard heard that Dr A was no longer doing surgeries, but was acting as a Referral Service to others. I’ve been unable to talk to anyone at Surgeon B’s office, so I might be back to see Dr A again. I had waddled into the Office but walked out, though not with as much spring in my step as I’d hoped for. Kathy had patiently waited in the Car even though it was getting colder.

We headed to Wendy’s where we used a Coupon to get supper. Those ladies are starting to remember how I order. Do you think we’re going there too often?

When we headed back to the Car, the Wind nearly blew us over. Since Kathy has a hard time breathing in the Wind, I dropped her off at the front entrance before parking the Car. I should have known better, but I went in the rear entrance. The Wind nearly blew me over a few times and I was frozen by the time I got in the building.

As soon as I fired up my Computer, I checked to find the temperature was 27 F (-3 C), but with the Wind it felt like 12 F (-11 C). Lucky for us the Wind will slow down for tomorrow.

I was about to take a break from the Computer, when I spotted something shiny in our rug. Since Kathy could not see it I bent over to try and pick it up but didn’t grab my Cane. I should have known better, because I then had to crawl over to a Chair in order to get back on my feet. That won’t be happening again for a while.

Slept, But Awake With Pain.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I tried something different last night. When it came to taking my Nighttime Mickey, I didn’t wait until I was heading to bed, but took it an Hour before. I don’t remember my head hitting the pillow, and woke this morning feeling refreshed.

Looking out the Balcony Door we thought that we were about to get hit by a Storm, but checking the Radar showed it had just ended and was heading east from our location.

Hoping to get an early start on Laundry did not work out so well, because for some unknown reason my Hip/Leg Pain suddenly went from a Six to a Twelve, seconds after getting up from the breakfast table. Early morning is the time the Laundry Room is the least busy, but I could barely sit let alone walk. The rest of the morning was spent at the Computers.

Once lunch was over and the Tylenol had kicked in I did start getting things sorted. Luckily, our Hamper has Wheels and the New Laundry Room is on the Second Floor where there are no steps.

Kathy had been vacuuming and dusting while I was away. knowing how I was feeling before, she came down to see me fold the last T Shirt, before heading home.

Sleep and Hall Walking.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Not wanting to experience another sleepless night due to Insomnia, I cautiously added another Extra Strength Tylenol to my Nighttime Mickey. The result was sound restful sleep. We woke less than five minutes apart. Though it was below the Freezing Mark at the time it would make it to 54 F (12 C) before supper.

I was able to book one appointment for later this week, but unfortunately it was not with the Surgeon that has yet to contact me, even though I have left messages.

Kathy chose to walk the building Halls rather than going Store Walking. The trick is to take the elevator to the top floor before taking the stairs down one floor. You than walk to the far end of that floor before taking those stairs down and repeating the process until you get to the ground floor. She took her Cell Phone as a Safety but took her time.

My problem haunts me, every time I walk, it feels like the joint is trying to separate. Massaging the area brings enough relief that I can go a bit further. I paced the Apartment while Kathy was gone.

Supper was Veggie Stir-Fry with Bacon.

We could be seeing some wet weather for the next couple of days.
