I had a decent sleep last night off and on. At midnight Renee my nurse came in to give me my meds and found me reading my KOBO. then she sat and chatted for a while and asked how come? Some times I have a piece of toast with peanut butter and some milk helps . So she got some` for me. And before I knew it was back to sleep again. What a great staff they have here.
About 4, am awake for the day, so get comfy blogging and reading, coffee and juice. I know Suzie will be getting ready later to take the car into Pettigrew's garage to get the heater fixed, visit at Shakers Restaurant in town for a coffee. SIL Sandy while waiting for the car. Pettigrews found leaves blocking the vent and thermostat not working. Flushed the cooling systems and new coolant, That taken care of by 11 am, she went back to the apartment to rest for a bit then here to visit.

 |
| a cold morning out there Suzie off to Plattsville get the heater fixed. |
A different doc came in to check my legs they are swollen a lot so working on those to see if they can help.
See if they can get the swelling down. Exercise, water pills and wrapping seems to help.

| Tuna sandwich and ice cream for lunch hit the spot |
 |
| Today went all out with 2 beers for Happy Hour very tasty choices |

The swelling, perhaps a nice lymphatic massage would work wonders for you George. Especially with the water pills. The lymphatic system tends to get sluggish when we are sick and it gets clogged up some. So a nice lymphatic massage with ginger oil can get the lymphatic system draining good and you'll feel like a brand new man!
ReplyDeletefeeling much better already.
DeleteGreat job on the blog George! Sure glad Suzie has heat for the Ontario winters and good for you enjoying two beers today ... and a tuna fish sandwich, my favourite :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks was a great day, the singers, car fixed , meeting new people and company loved the tuna sandwich plus 2 beer m what a treat.
DeleteThanks George. Our thoughts are with you and wish you were in Arizona again to go for a drive in the bug. Faster than a Model T. :^)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the memories of working on those fun cars, wish we were there too, riding in one there sure would make my day. At least you can enjoy it and be proud to show it off !
DeleteA few leaves? Geez those need to be racked up! Surprised the car collected half a tree :) Lunch was a sandwich and ice cream - decisions, which to eat first ...
ReplyDeleteYou're do'n good George and we are all think'n of you and Suzie.
Yup a lot of leaves over the years not sure where they were hiding but did a great job of it. Hmm yeah sand with and ice cream which one would you do?
DeleteI am feel wonderful and thanks for thinking of us as we do of our friends there in the warm sunny south west.
Yup it’s a small world! How nice she helps out there. I’m getting really jealous of all that great food George! Very happy you are receiving the best of care. Hugs ....
ReplyDeleteThat was a lot of leaves, I usually check for them, need a new thermostat too so should be good for a while again. Lots tasty food here I am enjoying.
DeleteThat is awesome that Carol stopped in to say hello and a nice chat. She is a lovely lady in every way.
ReplyDeleteNice that Suzie got the heater fixed too, that will be very necessary.
Your food is looking awesome. Hope the doctor can alleviate some of the swelling in your legs soon. I hope it isn't uncomfortable.
Thinking of both of you, great job on the blog!
Thank was fun meeting Carol a very nice lady. Th car has heat now thats good food vey tasty as well. Leggs ae beginning too feel better already hope they continue to do so. They were starting to be uncomfortable.
DeleteGreat you got to meet my sister Carol, she enjoys her volunteer work there.
ReplyDeleteCarol seems like a very nice lady so glad she hopped b for a visit, She does enjoy here work here too and does a great job.
DeleteI think I see a lot Mesquite leaves in that pile George. Oh Gee, I wonder where you got those. I figure one more trip to the kitchen to chat up that cook and your going to have yourself a part time job in there flippin burgs. Hey I like the idea of dipping your Tuna sandwich into your chocolate topped ice cream. Like you and Bill I am also an old 'VW Bug' aficionado. Not so much in the restoring end of things and more into driving them all over the place like crazy. I too had 4, maybe 5. Your doing good George, keep up the fight.
ReplyDeleteAl, could be some mesquite in that mix there never know after 17 years. Sorry I did nit dip my tuna into the ice cream, I like these 2 separately.
DeleteThose old bugs were affordable easy to fix and so much fun to drive, wish I still had one, Bill did an awesome job restoring back to it's former glory
HMMm me thinks you had a pack rat nest in there from the dessert last year. At least now Suzie will be nice and warm in her travels Those sloppy joes look so tasty. How great to have those kids come to sing to you.
ReplyDeleteOne Day At A Time
Not sure where those leaves came from could be lots places,But at least the car will be warm again for Suzie. The sloppy joes ere tasty and the kids signing a real nice treat,
DeleteGeorge & Suzie - You don't know me but I have followed you for years. We are friends with Rick & Kathy Rousseau of It's About Time, Kevin & Ruth of Travel with Kevin & Ruth, I also follow Contessa @ 5C's Que Pasa. You are so very inspiring. We love your smile, daily stories and so glad you are starting to feel better. Suzie has done a remarkable job on the blog on those days you weren't feeling up to all the typing. Thanks for reminding us to enjoy all we have. Thanks for all the smiles and wonderful stories. Thanks for utting on your vest and hat again. We love them. I look forward to reading your blog everyday. I have read it for years.....Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following along and the wonderful comment, I also follow those bloggers met Rick and Kathy years ago also Contessa in Mexico back in Dec 2009 before she started blogging. I am feeling very good lately and enjoying it. I miss wearing my hat and vest button't much need it inside.
DeleteAnd Suzie helping with the blog was a real treat think I can give her a rest for that again.
My goodness that is a lot of leaves! Glad they were able to fix the car so Suzie wont be so cold in your Canadian winters.
ReplyDeleteYour food looks so good...it beats the can of ravioli I had for dinner :-(
Nice of those children to come sing Christmas Carols and of meeting your blogger's sister. Cyber hugs for you and Suzie.
That is a lot of leaves, no there was not much heat! Now for me a can of ravioli is something I have no had for years, might just be one on my next treats! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteThe carols and meting Bill's sister a bonus as well. Thanks for the hugs , right back at ya !
Looks like those leaves have been building for quite a while. You really didn't need the heat too much when you were in the southwest for the winters but now back in Ontario it is something we all need.
ReplyDeleteBill did a great job of rebuilding his Volkswagon.
Glad to see you are still busy with visitors. You are looking better now as well.
We continue to keep you both in our Prayers.
It's about time.
Yes Bill sure did a great job always fun work on and drive these guys. Those leaves have been building for a while un noticed but after 17 years can they can slowly accumulate. Still enjoying some company.
DeleteHow wonderful to meet Bill's sister. What a treat and I'm sure a surprise. The food always looks wonderful, I hope it tastes as good. A wonderfully thoughtful idea of having the carolers come!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of stuff to take out of there!! Amazing how it collects, isn't it?
Meeting Bills sister was a treat and a surprise. The looks and tastes wonderful no complaint here at all. these leaves took a few years to collect I and sure now works great and lots needed heat.
DeleteThat is a great place to stay. The staff is so helpful. And you have carolers coming right to your room. You're doing fine with the blog. Is is a small world. It was nice of Bill's sister to stop by.
ReplyDeletehis is one amazing place to stay so friendly and comfortable, the carollers right in my room real treat was a bonus.
DeletePlus meeting Bills sister a surprise so cool..
You're sounding great George!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew feeling better than I should but sure will enjoy every good day I have.
