Getting A Numb Skull.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

For the second night in a row, I slept in Bed, before moving to my Recliner due to the Pain in my Neck and Shoulders. After nearly Three Hours I was able to return to Bed because I have a more restful sleep there. The Plan was to only stay there for Two Hours, but there was a problem when I woke shortly after Four Hours. RUT RHO! I normally wake much earlier than this, even when I sleep in.

I immediately flicked open the Window Blinds as I was leaving the Bedroom. I heard a few mumbles as I tried to put together something for a breakfast snack. When I reminded Kathy of my appointment, she realized the urgency.

We arrived at the Windsor Pain Clinic with only Five Minutes to spare. There was a steady stream of patients coming from the Treatment Rooms and only a few from the Waiting Room that went before me. Exactly an Hour after my appointment time I was taken back while Kathy continued to read her book. Within Ten Minutes the Doctor was actually checking where my Cyst had been and proclaimed that it had healed up nicely. We discussed further Injections and advised treatment. I was walking out Fifteen Minutes later.

Our morning snack was long gone, so we headed to Wendy’s where we used a Coupon for a well-deserved Late Lunch. We took our time to avoid indigestion, something we had to put up with during our careers. After freshening up we headed out.

Out destination was the Zehr’s grocery store. With all the Northerly Winds our region has been getting, they had to shut the one entrance, because the Foyer was filling with Yard Waste that was blowing in. We were selective in what we purchased, finding that some products were cheaper to buy multiple smaller packages than the jumbo, Cost over Volume equals Quantity. We have also taken note that many of the things we enjoy eating, are “On Sale” come Monday when most have gone back to work.

It was surprising that we were finally headed for home during what is considered Rush Hour and there was very little traffic. Our Folding Two Wheeled Shopping Cart was straining to help us get everything upstairs. Just like when we were Fulltiming, recycling the packaging gave us much more space in the Fridge and Freezer. An Hour later, with everything put away, I had to haul both our Recycle Pails down to the Outside Bins.

We finally had the chance to see what we had not seen on the Computers this morning. Something the Doctor and I discussed, is the way my CPP Mask Harness is cutting into my Neck Muscles. He suggested going to my supplier ASAP, to see if they had anything that would stop that from happening. Since we didn’t want to go across town during Rush Hour, I went on Amazon. If what I purchased works out, I’ll be stopping at Vital-Aire soon.

We were watching the “6 o’clock Local News” when we finally shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza with extra Pineapple. The Weather Guesser was showing we could get up to a Five Inch Accumulation tomorrow.

Around that time, I felt an itch on my head and reached to rub it. Imagine my surprise when it felt like a spot on my Scalp and Skull were Numb. Since I received Injections in that area this afternoon, I’ll be talking the Doctor in Two Weeks.

We later watched an episode of “Caught on Dash Cam” before watching “The Santa Clause 2”. You can’t get any better then that.

Just before Kathy went to Bed, my head was back to normal, thick as ever.

One Night Forward, One Week Backwards.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Even though I managed to get a good night’s sleep it wasn’t quite the way I had Planned. After only a Couple Hours sleeping in Bed, there was so much Pain in my Neck and Shoulders, I had no choice but to use my Recliner for a Few Hours, before finishing the night back in Bed. Instead of moving forward as far as my sleep routine, I seem to be slipping backwards.

I had barely gotten to my Computer to get the Weather Forecast when Kathy joined me. After telling her what I was reading, she surprised me by saying that she was feeling really hungry. While she did her morning chores, I cooked up breakfast. Not wanting to waddle around for the rest of the day, I used less Eggs, less Cheese and less Bacon to create an Omelette that we enjoy sharing for breakfast.

While I cleaned up, Kathy started adding the Ornaments on our Pencil Tree. After rotating it a number of times she started to panic because she could not locate the Star. She again looked through all the containers that we use to store them in unsuccessfully. I had just started emptying more shelves in our Storage Closet, when she turned to find the Star laying of the Desk. That discovery, helped to calm her down and to ease my headache.

Around 2:00 we shared our last Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza with extra Pineapple and Shredded Cheese for a late lunch.

It was after 4:00 when we headed out the door to get some supplies. The Car was nearly clean, except for the Ice-Covered windshield, that took Ten Minutes to scrape clean.

Our first stop was Dollarama, to pick up supplies we have run out of. Since they are now on Holiday Shopping Hours, we had plenty of time to be certain we had everything. Stocking up also meant $$$$. That was a new high for that store.

It was past 5:00 when we were headed for the Grocery Store, but with all the walking we had just done and the fact that it was supper time, we stopped at Wendy’s to solve that problem. As a continuing trend, we had barely sat down to enjoy our meal, when the place suddenly filled up.

By the time we were about to leave Kathy suggested waiting until tomorrow to stop for groceries. Thankfully, the breeze had calmed down, so Kathy was able to help me carry in our purchases. By the time everything was put away, you would have never known we had been shopping.

Kathy is upset that she hasn’t been shopping yet for me, but I told her that I have everything I need in her.

We later watched “The Santa Clause” with Tim Allen again tonight. Part Two is on tomorrow evening.
