Friday relaxing.doctor visit

Where are we today? 

Stratford Ontario

After a restless night I finally woke at 6 am, still feeling tired probably left over strained muscles from Saturday's adventures rolling about on the floor.
    We had already decided today was a recover day left to allow the sore sore muscles heal themselves and there is a few. So taking it easy Suzie arrived about 10 am met with the house doctor like usual on Fridays discussed my conditions and meds and about my fall yesterday checked my over and all is good. Then met at 11 am with Kate the administrator regarding day etc. overnight is not an option at this point and we agreed I am not fit for anything like that now or maybe never time will tell.
     Soon time for lunch for I enjoyed some left over Chinese food and an egg salad sandwich hit the spot. Then time for a shower and a shave making me feel brand new and squeaky clean once again.
  Relax for while chat with Suzie some reading and computing a cold one for Happy hour, with crackers and cheese made for a wonderful afternoon together.  About 4 pm Suzie headed home for a cold one as well. Supper came at 5 pm as usual and I was ready for it. Salad and hot sauce standing by me ready. Then a tasty supper meat pie potato wedges and my salad for a tasty feast once again. So I have up finished this posting and called it a night. We have a busy day tomorrow so a good sleep tonight is in order.
  We will call it a night and thank y'all for dropping by. Hope you had a wonderful day as well.
     Somehow I imported my pictures and could not find them, so gave up, gonna call it a night, need our rest having another busy day tomorrow.

Thank y'all again for checking us out and hope you had a great one as well.

   Keep on smiling One day a a time.

A quiet day, remembering our Father, a good sleep, apple issues, chat with the Doc.

Where are we today? 

Stratford Ontario

Another wonderful nights sleep , this has been so nice I really enjoy it. And still totally pain free, from 8:30 pm until 3:45 am! I slept in by 15 minutes, amazing.

Fired up my Mac book and not co-operating, hmm a rare occasion, so I rested it a few times, shut off WiFi a few times, still no go? OK had my early breakfast, then a cruise about in my wheel chair, another coffee, and tried again an hour later, Yahoo my Mac is back. As usual never had any big issues over the years with my apple computers, just minor ones that normally end up fixing them selves.

Got my early meds and down to  the kitchen chat with Micheal after 8 am today, for a bit as he is prepping the soup and other food stuffs plus 2 Turkeys for a Christmas dinner here tomorrow that we will miss, (tomorrow that, you can read about that then)

tasty soups, and always good food

Then back to the room, a short walkabout then at 9:30 the Doc came in to check and see how I am feeling, discus my meds etc... no complaints here from me. Just enjoying the beginning of another great day.

Now at 10:30 Suzie arrived and we received phone call from another doc more consulting etc.. Then down for lunch. I was craving some ravioli so she brought me a bit for lunch and asked Mike for 1/2 a smoked smoked meat sandwich, but of course he made a whole one, no matter it was all good.

smoked meat was tasty I guess 1/2 and 1/2 worked for him, lol

and a bit if ravioli hit the spot too

our afternoon view, nice clear a bit of sunshine

our poinsettia is still is still going strong

Then at 2:30 happy hour evolved with my first beer a craft one from CollingWood this is where had our Cottage in the 1950' and 60's. Back then they built ships in the ship yards. Now ski hills, boutiques and craft beers. Amazing how things change.

tasty brew named after the ski hills
at blue mountains here

they getting the dining room set up for Christmas dinner tomorrow

at 5 pm dinner was brought and another tasty brew

dinner tonight, a favourite of mine sloppy joe's and potato salad
always tasty

I chatted with my sister for a while remembering our father who passed away on this date over 20 years ago age 69, from this dread full disease, cancer that's seems to run in our family, my brother at 38 years old. Looks like we will be together again sooner than planned sharing a cold one together.

doing what he loved even in retirement
driving bus Dad always smiling

That was our relaxing day together and looks like we will have a busy one tomorrow, looking forward to it.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

One day at a time

Couple more things checked off the list and catching up on my rest.

Where are we today ?

     A very good sleep last night 9 till 5 am with only 3 nature calls, Heck its about time lets see if I can keep that up to help build my strength and feel better.
     For 9 am we had a follow up doctors appointment with our family doctor in Stratford to go over the procedure and renew some prescriptions also get her to sign for a Handicap permit for our car.  I really need it right now with my limited walking ability low energy and balance.
     Then a quick stop at Canadian Tire to pick up rims for our snow tires, next New Hamburg for prescriptions, and the handicap permit for the car. Thank goodness Suzie driving me around.
      Back to Tavi for a tasty light lunch, I had a protein bar, ensure, more water and almonds and walnuts. Then a  relaxing afternoon but for me Suzie she spent a couple of hours on the phone trying to arrange a U-haul trailer, then eventually SIL Sandy suggested we park the coach at their place begin unpacking and put stuff in their garage until moving day. That will be a help, we can only do a bit every day as I burn out very quickly.

a nice sunny day but chilly

we sat on the porch for a bit then I got too cold

our coach from the porch

      I did get some relaxing and reading time in today then time for supper. We picked a tasty Tortiere that a looked and was tasty as good as the ones I used to make but was quick and easy hit and the spot

this was pretty tasty hit the spot

     I split it with Suzie and she had some scalloped potatoes from the deli counter did the trick

with the tomatoes was plenty for me

     There ya go got a few things taken care of in the morning before fatigue hit me so can rest up again for another day tomorrow. The weekend is just around the corner so need to be rested to whatever parties, come our way. Hey, I can at least dream about them and have fun in my brain lol.
    Thanks for dropping in for a virtual. I like when people can do that.
    Hope y'all had a good day as well.

 Where have we been this Summer ?

More wonderful summer weather, and a surgeon visit for me.

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario

         No sunset sighting last night too overcast . We did get a very  nice sleep in this cooler weather. It was 55 F at 6am today. So with our oatmeal and coffees consumed some computing done and a walkabout town 1.5 miles to begin the day. Stopped at Pettigrew's to arrange getting our coach in next week for some repairs and maintenance.

a misty sunrise at  6 am

              Then at 9 am we headed into Stratford to consult with a surgeon about repairing my crooked baby fingers that I cannot straighten and is causing me some discomfort. The worst is on my left hand this is called Dupuytren's Contracture  and we discussed options either surgery or an Injection with a drug called XIAFLEX. The surgery has a longer recovery time but is covered by our health care. The needle is not covered and we have to pay for it. I like the idea of the needle so we will bite the bullet and pay. Not cheap! Just have to order this drug and when it is paid for make an appointment with the specialist. Hopefully sooner than later.

this is my finger not comfortable causing issues 
and some pain, cannot straighten it any more

     We left the Doc shortly after 10 am made a few stops on the way home and back here by 11:30 in time for lunch. One stop was the Pork Shop in Shakespeare, to check it out has been years since we have stopped here. Some wonderful products but I find the very pricey.
       We enjoyed a tasty light lunch and puttered around for a while getting a few things taken care of. And as we like to do enjoyed some afternoon reading time with our e-readers.
       A bit  later we heard some farm machinery across the road about 100 feet away . Looks like Doug is spraying his corn field, talked to him the other day and I knew it was due soon. Guess today was the day.

our quiet afternoon view
that we love

lotsa squirrels managed to catch a pic of this one

      I did finish another John Sandford novel with Virgel Flowers and got right into another novel of his I really do love his writing, and have them right here on my KOBO so why not?

another page turner I am getting right into

         A short happy hour we enjoyed briefly discussing this winters travels and options giving each other ideas. No plans yet and we seldom make many plans anyway.
         Soon time to whip up supper Suzie's choice tonight was chicken took a couple of bone in split chicken breasts out of the freezer, whipped up a salad preheat our Weber q and  grilled them to perfection. Adding  some of this Bourbon Bbq sauce that we enjoy to glaze and give it a wonderful flavour.

we do really love this BBQ sauce
thanks Deb and Rilley

nicely done and so tasty

added to our salad we enjoyed a tasty supper
and some more left over for lunches as well

      That was a great productive and relaxing day we both enjoyed getting things done and more wonderful summer weather. Much cooler but very comfortable. Temps in the mid 80's F but only 40% humidity not hot enough for the pool yet for us.
     We have now been here for over 4 weeks, much longer than we like to be in one place. But  we have things to take care of right in the area. we  have this major hitch itch , but still will be we here a bit longer ,hmm... get some work done on our coach next week and we should be able, too get mobile again , at least we hope.
     Still enjoying this outside at 8 pm and no skeeters yet, wrap up this posting, read a bit more. maybe a sunset her later on we will see what happens.
   Thanks again for dropping on by.
