Where are we today?
Stratford Ontario
This be George I am going to attempt posting this blog entry, I have been missing it and my typing and thoughts seem to be better and clearer now, so lets see how it goes. Hopefully not too many typos. Suzie has been doing a great job and thanks to her so much, want to give her a break. Of course more blabber than here and a much longer time to do but I got er done.
Heck here it is Thursday December 12th Christmas is quickly approaching. Another great sleep for me 8 pm until 4 am . 8 hours, almost normal again. 4 am wide awake so got the nurses to bring me my cereal, juice, and coffee in bed! Hey breakfast in bed, boy am I being spoiled here.
Did some reading for a bit, blog comments. Then snooze for an hour until 7:30 am. Day shift nurses come, so outta bed dressed in wheel chair and putter around for a while, doing a few laps in the wheelchair. Stopped by Michael the cook in the Kitchen at 9 am, chat a bit and a 1/2 fried egg sandwich. good until noon.
Suzie has a Naturopath appointment in Waterloo at 9:30 am so will be coming by later on. A good time for me to have a nice shower and freshen up. Hmm the remote on the car worked great but not much heat. It was not much heat before either, so Suzie stopped at Pettigrews garage in Plattsville on the way back and will take it in tomorrow at 9 am for Dale to check it out.
Last night I was dreaming about a hamburger, have not had one for many years, no beef. This thought consumed me all night and this morning (weird eh?), So seeing as Suzie was going into Waterloo and would be back about noon, I got her to stop by the A and W in town and bring in for lunch a Teen burger, Fries and of course Root beer. Heck the docs said to enjoy whatever I want while I can so a you can see that is happening .

| Tasty Happy Hour Beer Thanks Brian |
She headed home about 4:30 after I enjoyed a tasty Lancaster Bomber Beer picked out by SIL Brian for our happy hour.
Then before supper a doctor came in to check out my legs. They are swollen quite a bit (partially lack of exercise plus the meds), So first plan will be to try water pills starting tomorrow see if that helps.
Then a small portion for supper and that's what I got, pork, mash, gravy, carrots and my salad.

So glad to see you back. Really appreciated Suzie keeping up the blog. Yes I think you are being spoiled, but you deserve it. And yes, that hamburger and fries looked over the moon!! Happy you are getting around so well. Hugs to you and Suzie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy , feels good to feel better and back again. Suzie did a great job for me and that burger sure took care of my craving , was excellent . Thank you for the hugs !
DeleteI was wondering if you are still reading the novels on your e-reader? On the road both you and Suzie seemed to read a book or two a week.
ReplyDeletea great job on the post, George. Nice to have you back.
Yes Jeff we still read a bit, though keeping busy otherwise, we both actually miss the quiet time reading that we so enjoy. Always seems to be something to do.
DeleteThanks nice to be back again.
Beautiful blog. Just like the vintage George. That lunch sounded delicious and so did the cold Root beer. Glad to have you back for as long as we can. And thanks to Suzie for taking up the slack.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug feeling pretty good right now, and a Teen Burger and A and W Root beer was a wonderful treat. Nice that I can give Suzie a Break I do enjoy writing these postings.
DeleteCongratulations, George, what a great post. You are a trooper, an amazing man , so kind and so thoughtful. So glad you are getting better enough to eat, sleep, write, and spend good time with Suzie and family. Keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue I enjoyed writing this after so long. I knew I could do it, so kept on trying.
DeleteLots good food and feeling better than before that's for sure. We will spend as much time together as we can while I can.
Kudos to Suzie for stepping up and keeping us all informed. Your colour looks better, must be all the good food there. So happy to see you getting around and keeping your spirits up. Be well George, we think of you daily...
ReplyDeleteI think she did a great job and a appreciate her help. I am feeling better and mostly pain free ( thats good) Gtting around on my wheelchair and visiting shelfful and healing.
DeleteGood to hear from you George - Suzie doing a fine job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry nice o be back.
DeleteThanks for giving us a blog!! Nothing like a touch of George. Tell Suzie not to quit though, she has been filling in just great!! Safe Travels in that Wheelchair!!
ReplyDeleteLOL,, glad I cold still make it happen, so nice to have Suzie here o back me up. And still travelling in my wheel chair is helpful too.
DeleteWOW Suzie does a good job on the blog but nobody writes like good ole George. Thanks for the effort, I enjoyed it tremendously.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barney I enjoy it and so glad Suzie could help out when she was needed.
DeleteFantastic, George. Its so good to hear you (speak) i.e. write the blog as you used to. No matter where you are, there are interesting things you experience and we like to hear about it. If you can keep it up we are all for it. However, tell Suzie we enjoyed her writings too and not to slack off :) All the best and keep going!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene it is fun to be back again hopefully for quite a while yet. I will let her know she was beginning to enjoy it as well.
DeleteHey George good to see your doing so well keep up the good work and know your in my thoughts and prayers
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil especially the thoughts and prayers.
DeleteGreat post George! Glad you're doing so well. Fewer typos than usual even!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew nice to be back.
DeleteSo great to hear from you George. Suzie is doing such a great job keeping us informed, but love your posting. Beef sets off my gout so I'm trying out all kinds of chicken recipes.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys Beef usually bothers my stomach so have been away fro it, so far no issues, We do love chicken and turkey too.
DeleteA Teen Burger, Fries, and a Root Beer would have been my choice as well George and I figure that's what brought your healthy color back. People eating all that green stuff walk around looking like sheets of white paper. Have you thought of rubbing a little of that Suicide Sauce of yours on your legs. Might just scare that swelling right out of them. Good job on the post and I bet before long you and Suzie will be arm wrestling to see who's gonna write it. Regardless, you both do a great job:))))
ReplyDeleteThanks Al that burger sure was a wonderful treat so tasty, beef usually bothers my tummy so try to stay clear of it so far so good., hmm not sure about the sauce on my legs but it sure does taste good,
DeleteShe was enjoying the blog postings but not as much as I do.
It's so awesome you were able to write your own blog George, and great job! I'm glad you got to enjoy your teen burger :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks guys I id enjoy th burger , been a long time.
DeleteNice to have you back George.. Your looking good.
ReplyDeleteNice to be back thanks.
DeleteLove hearing your voice through your typing. Suzie has been wonderful describing your days while you gained strength. Nice to see your appetite back too and your love for food. You are loved dearly.
ReplyDeletethanks Guys for all your love, support and prayers, so nice to be back.
DeleteYea!!
ReplyDeleteHi Judith back in the saddle again!
DeleteGreat to hear your back, Suzie is doing a great job for you! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be here and give Suzie a break finally .
DeleteThank you George for your fantastic attitude,you are a very special man.
ReplyDeleteI pray for you and keep up the good spirit,we love you and never forget all the things you have taught us about full time RVing.
Love and hugs,Fred and Conny
Thanks for the prayers and glad that we could help you over the year. Hope you are enjoying full timing still.
DeleteGood for you George. Moving right along eating well and enjoying it. They don't have you walking around a little bit a couple times a day to get your circulation going. But yes some meds will cause water build up. Keep on smiling and eating what ever you like. Suzie did a great job blogging for you but it's nice to see you back at it. Blessing you and Suzie
ReplyDeleteThanks JO the walking would help but afraid I may fall, so am restricted, Eating whatrver is a very nice treat ( in moderation though), And so glad for Suzi'es help.
DeleteGreat to "see" your voice George! Have a good evening.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kare was a great evening.
DeleteThis is wonderful, reading your words again. It has got to feel good! Enjoyed the read, and we sure are enjoying how you are coming along. Good to stay on good terms with Mike the cook. :)
ReplyDeleteSuzie has done a great job. Hugs to both of you!
Thanks guys so nice to be back and doing something else I enjoy. I am feeling great for now and enjoying it. Mike is interest ti bak to when he is not too busy, Suzie has done a great jib, thanks for the hugs and you guys enjoy the southwest.
DeleteWow, this was a great surprise! Glad to see you're getting back to yourself again. You look great and the craving for a burger is a good sign. Your body must need something that's in the beeF :)

DeleteSuzie did a wonderful job filling is glad she did .
WOW George!!! What a great post ---Just because I don't post often doesn't mean I am not thinking of you--- I think and pray for you each day. That big smile eating the burger says it all ---You're almost back to normal now -- Define normal??
ReplyDeleteThanks for for following and the comment much appreciated.
DeleteNormal for me?

Keeping you both in our Prayers.

ReplyDeleteYour lunch looks delicious as does the beer. I am back on more medication so have not had any adult beverages in a month...drink one for me :)
Thanks M's B was nice to write a while posting again. Yes sometimes the meds don't mix with alcohol, promise I will have one for you.
DeleteWhat an awesome surprise to see this posting! Great job too! Oh my I used to love A and W haven't had a burger from there in years! Suzie did do a great job with the blog! Beautiful view out your window. Nice that you can get a breakfast and coffee at 0400! Great that the garage can look at the car this am, certainly need a good heater this time of year!
ReplyDeleteThanks I enjoyed being able to post again. A and W was always our go to place as teenagers (show 0ff our Cars) and eat of course. Suzie did a wonderful job filling in too. This place is amazing is the staff, car is being fixed right nw should be ready to go soon.
DeleteI have a feeling I will be echoing what everyone else said, glad to read your words and thoughts again. Not that we did not enjoy reading Suzie's words because we did. Can really see how much better you are looking in that first picture while you are enjoying that A & W treat...:)
ReplyDeleteAs always in our thought and prayers.
Thanks guys Suzie is a fast learner and blogging is really not the hard she did and awesome job.
DeleteI and fel grat and that treat sure was tasty Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
Great post George. The food looked wonderful. Between Suzie and Michael, you seem to be eating well. I must say though, I think I need a teen burger now. Your view is pretty, I'll bet you spend a great deal of time looking out that window. Once you are moving about more the swelling should come down in your legs. Keep on smiling!!
ReplyDeleteThe food very tasty sm eating too well. Micheal had an A & W for 15 years so we have some interesting chats. The views are nice, a hiking trail there and watching the people squirrels and enjoying the outside views best I can. Gotta smile cause thats what I do and makes me feel better.
DeleteSo great to see you back doing the blog. You were a good teacher for Suzie as she fills in admirably. I loved A&W when I was growing up. Can’t find one where I live now. Root beer with a burger and fries makes me hungry.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be back for a while Peter, we have lots A &Ws around here so many choices if we like. Love their root beer and burgers.
