More packing a few errands and oops yesterday and a new to me walker.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it 
    Well we got a very good pain free sleep last night again but I was still tired, up at 5 am cereal juice and coffee. Can't keep my eyes open so laid down for bit until 9 am. Yesterday must have really tired me out.
    Up and at it soon then into New hamburg for an adjustment on my hearing aide. Stop at Oak  Grove cheese for some of our extra old white cheddar, thrift store looking for a couple things, (no Luck), then to no frills for a couple of grocery items.
      Back home for a light lunch then stretch out on the bed (exhausted again) rested until about 2 pm, all the while Suzie doing some more packing she knows what she wasn't where no much I can do any way, stay outa here way. A woman with a mission. So will she puttered around, I worked on trying to read some blogs, this tires me out and tying to comment takes for ever with all my typos. Typing this blog off and on took me most of the day
      Oh yeah I just thought of this now, yesterday I wanted to put our Brake Buddy in an empty compartment under our slide, don't need it in the car for the winter. Well heck I put it in the compartment and while trying to get up I fell over on my back, like a turtle. LOL.  I could not get up. Even with help of my little stool, here I am laughing, how will I get up? So flopping around like a landed fish out of water, what to do ? Suzie in the house with her sister, my cell phone that I always have in my vest is on the kitchen table. So I flopped and flopped a bit more finally was able to get sitting up and my stool and arms to get me the rest of the way finally. Hmm don't want to do that again.
 A nice walker exactly what I wanted.
 Today Daughter # 2 has a walker that I can borrow for as long as needed from her mother (yes my previous wife) over  29 years ago. That was very nice of them to do that for me, much appreciated.
Suzie getting a bit more packing done today
Daughter # 2 came to visit and bring the walker

supper tonight Turkey garlic sausage

       That was another pretty bust day , getting a  few motor things are care of. No time to kick back, relax and look forward to another pain free good nights rest.
        Thanks for joining us to day as well.

  4. Nice walker George. Be careful when your out there by yourself. Keep up those good night sleeps. You may be tired after getting up because of the pain pills, the have a way of hanging on but well worth the rest your getting. Nice jacket for Suzie, should keep her warm.

    1. It was.'t fun but was funny at the time, but don't want to do do it again.

  7. We are going to guess falling like that was not fun and just a little scary to not be able to get up right away. Though your description of your dilemma certainly gave us both a chuckle. That looks like the top of the line walker; when you get tired you have a place to sit.
    Take care.

  9. Thanks for the chuckle George, happy that you didn't hurt yourself and were able to get up by yourself, ( that old commercial, " I've fallen and can't get up" came to mind.) Great that you a walker now.

  12. My brother in law slipped on ice and hit his back on the steps at night and he was alone. He was temporarily paralyzed for a few hours. He yelled and screamed for his neighbor (my other sister) down the way but she was sound asleep. Luckily brother in law had his truck keys in his pocket so he hit the panic button and it went blasting. Sister down the way heard the truck and wondered what was going on and went to investigate and found brother in law. She had to call a cousin five miles away to come help pick up brother in law. They put heating pads on brother in law's back and with ibuprofen was able to recover from temporary paralysis. All this happened on a cold winter night.

  14. Great idea with the walker. You will likely need it once you start treatments. I love the color. Lovely new parka for Suzie. Only two more sleeps. Getting so very close now. I f you have a moment check this link on how to adjust the walker for your proper height. It will make a difference on how to use properly. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/healthy-aging/multimedia/walker/sls-20076469?s=3
