Twisted Hip and Pulled Shoulder.

With Two Nights in the wrong direction, they really make a person wonder what they are doing that is causing it. Last night, I tried something bold and went straight to Bed, without even trying to straighten my Neck and Shoulders. Even though, I was again struggling to sleep I stay put for the next Three Hours. Desperate to sleep, I took another Extra Strength Tylenol and a single ZzzQuil capsule before sitting back in my Recliner. Two Hours later, I was just starting to feel the first signs of drowsiness so headed back to sleep in Bed. It was over Four Hours later that I woke to laying next to Kathy and the Sunshine streaming from the Open Balcony Door Blinds into our Bedroom.

I could barely move from my achy joints, though feeling slightly rested, wobbled my way into the Kitchen. It was only minutes later that Kathy joined me, but I still could not figure what to do for breakfast. I asked and Kathy answered, “Toast with Jam”. It still took minutes before I could compute that chore, but it helped us to survive until lunch. I knew the Blinds had been closed before I headed to Bed but Kathy denied opening them.

Enjoying our Coffees at our Computers, gave me time to check The Weather Network. It would be cooler than yesterday but it would work better for us. One by one we got ready to go, before I realized just how close it was to lunch. Instead of eating out we enjoyed yesterday’s Leftovers from the Pomegranate Chinese Restaurant. I warmed both plates separately but added saucer of water to rehydrate the Rice to its just cooked texture.

Not wanting to come home to dirty Dishes, we cleaned up, before heading out. Kathy had questioned how much drinking water we brought along, but in the end really appreciated it.

It actually felt slightly strange driving the Truck down the road. Since it had sat for so long, I allowed extra stopping distances as a safety. A lot of dust accumulates on the Rotors and Pads in Nineteen Months that has to wear off.

We soon arrived at Guardian Storage only to find the Office closed. We headed back to our Climate Controlled Storage Unit, to organize for what would be added from the Trailer. With time this Unit will be emptied out as well. Working on loading the Truck of things we will no longer need, we suddenly remembered to call our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa. They are into RVing for weekend getaways, so they will be able to use many things, like Chock Blocks, Sewer Hoses and the extra Camping Chairs. After Two Hours loading up, we were soon on our way to Amherstburg, but something did not feel right. It felt like had twisted my Right Hip that was replaced less then Two Years ago.

While Kathy visited with Melissa, Kevin worked with me unloading the Truck. He saw that I was struggling and kept saying that he would get it. My response was that I wasn’t dead yet. The Hip Pain was probably caused from my climbing into the Truck Bed. His eyes grew wide when I showed him my traveling Hardware Store.

We all sat in their Screen Room talking for another Hour. Of course Melissa brought out some of her Homemade Fudge and Brownies. “Warning, resistance is futile”. They are that good.

After saying our good-byes, we were soon headed for home. It was just like old times backing the Truck into its assigned parking spot. The problem was when I went to get out. Luckily, there are grab handles to lower myself with. Unfortunately, that aggravated the heck out of my Shoulder.

We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for a late supper. Thankfully, the Homemade Sweets had held us over.

We’ll keep pecking away at this chore until it is finished, or we have Doctor’s Appointments. It will take getting used to being active, doing what we are doing, at this time. Then we will get used to an entirely different way of traveling.

Hoping for a better night’s sleep, even with the additional Hip and Shoulder Pain.

It’s about time.

My friend asked me if I got a haircut?

No,” I answered, “I got them all cut.”
