Where are we today?
STRATFORD Ontario
a decent sleep last night
After a busy tiring day yesterday. Now a little more about yesterday at home.
After these wonderful nurses below greeting Me Merry Christmas. Suzie arrived I got my meds before noon and into the car for nice drive to our apartment love the fresh air! only 6 minutes away.
So nice to see it again in person after about 2 months. Looked around and checked out some pictures to hang, relaxed in my recliner for a bit then set toward preparing dinner for later our Garlic shrimp .pasta. a tasty easy dish to prepare that recipe right HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar.

| this was so try tasty and easy |

With weak arms and legs this is a problem, so about 45 minutes later with a few props, stool and chair finally got up. Again, nothing hurt but my pride after flopping around on the floor like a fish out of water trying to figure out this dilemma. Flopping around, must been a sight to see. Eventually standing getting onto my walker and the old man shuffle down the hall and into the car again. Back to here at the hospice was greeted with my wheelchair and back to my room. Of course I had to report this incident to the nurses so now cannot do anything without them by my side. Again this visit home sure was fun and also a trip run to see how I made out, realizing that I am not ready to wander unassisted and too week yet arms and legs to move about safely. Glad we learnt now so have another goal to work on strength for those muscles, I do have the lightweight equipment at home to work those muscles. Suzie will bring it in tomorrow for me.
When we got home found out they had steak for dinner and offered me some, so a small tasting did the trick and it was very tasty as well tender tasty steak dinner.
Suzie arrived about 10 this morning and we talked a bit, go for lunch today a treat I enjoyed have not had for awhile 2 pogos with mustard hit he spot today. Now a relaxing quiet afternoon for a while and enjoy together. A couple of pogos I enjoyed for lunch was a tasty treat.
After Lunch Daughter # 2 came for a nice visit, we always enjoy their company and 2 of the grands love to see the growing an changing at a you age.
After they headed home my supper was not far behind them. Supper arrived after a tasty IPA for Happy Hour. Enjoyed my dinner finished this posting and called it a night do another good sleep is in order
Glad that you dropped on by,

Thank you one and Fred glad that we could pass on some helpful advise to you. keep mon travelling
DeleteWow, what a great day you had,even flopping around getting up takes a lot of energy. Glad you were not hurt. A little strength training and you will be ready for more get abouts. So glad you had a great day, and so positive about your day!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sure AS wonderful day being home cookijin even the flopping was an experience I am working on street training.
DeleteGood thing you can lough about that little incident of inspecting the floor in the kitchen. Turned out not too bad as you were not hurt and next time you will be more careful. Doing some exercise is always good.
ReplyDeleteit is a wonderfu floor
Deletewith close inspection. Inwill not be going far without someone else close by again just in case and rxrtcise is in thr works
.
Yikes!! Good idea to work out a tad and build up your strength. No more falling allowed!!! Glad you had a nice Christmas. More prayers heading your way.
ReplyDeleteYes Doc Nancy. don't want ant more falling to happen to me Christmas day sure was wonderful despite the floor in section looking forward to more good days.
DeleteGood thing you were not injured. You may laugh about it now but am certain you weren't laughing then. Exercise will help to build your strength as long as it doesn't cause any other problems.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe!
It's about time.
A good thing it was gentle drop to the floor ,actually was laughing then made id harder to get up. just a few stiff muscles right now,
DeleteI am so happy to hear that you spent some time at home. It's a fantastic feeling to be 'free' for a few hours. Glad you didn't get hurt, perhaps there may be something they could teach you and Suzie to help in such a situation if it should happen again. I was happy to see your photos of you cooking in your home. I'm sure it felt wonderful. What a wonderful Christmas! Keep smiling George.
ReplyDeleteit sure felt good to be home and cooking again. , sunshine fresh air and some freedom was wonderful
DeleteNeed more strength in my arms to help me. Smiling all the way keeps me going.
Sorry you fell....glad you weren't hurt. it takes quite a bit of strength to pick yourself of the floor.
ReplyDeletewith your great attitude you will get stronger.Take it slowly aim for Easter?
Hugs
George, I've been on the ground and couldn't get myself up. But mine was out in public. Talk about a blow to your pride. Your dinner looked sooo good. But I have to ask - what is a pogo?
ReplyDeleteNice to fall and not get really hurt. Us old folks don't bounce so good do we.
ReplyDeleteThat eight Barney not getting hurt is the objective. now that bounce has gone away/
DeleteHelium filled balloons George, three tied to each arm should keep you upright and afloat. Too bad about that Oooopsy but you were able to figure it out and get yourself back up into a vertical position again. And with no Ouchies to add to your Ooopsys. Good stuff. I was hoping maybe you had forgot to tell the Nurses about your fall. Working with some weights just might be a good idea. Maybe some of Popeye's spinach too:))
ReplyDeleteHey Al love yh idea about the ballons they might do ye trick . no ouches ia good thing just stiff this morning hough I do ell yje nurses just in case of other issues, Th exercise will help me for sure and a spinach salad id alway good for me too.
DeleteSo glad you got home and back in front of the stove. The fall was not good news but you will learn how to balance and support yourself. It is all a learning experience and you friends are all proud of you and delighted at how far you have come. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year's to you and Suzie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Croft the shove and I are good friends nice to have that learning experience and fin out my limitations
Delete.
Sorry to hear about your fall. So happy you didn't get hurt. And I'm happy you didn't let it ruin your time at home with Suzie. One day at a time. Blessings as always for you and Suzie
