Yeah, more freedom and an update on the car heater.

Where are we today? 

Stratford Ontario

Even a better sleep last night really gotta love it. 6 hours of really good sleep my norm from 9:15 pm until 3.30 am feeling really good.

And a bonus I was told that I can use the walker un assisted , as they have seen me move about. Just be careful. Heck I will be careful I have come this far and sure don't want to hurt  myself. One thing meaning I can get up for the washroom during the night and right back to sleep. Get more things for myself. and exercise my legs that are feeling better and need the movement , the swelling is going down a bit with the help of the water pills to I am sure. They even turned off the bed alarm and put the side rails down for me as well.

On one of my walkabouts

Heck after a tour about here in the wheel chair and got the walker all warmer up for my first solo run down the hall and back actually 2 times, Sure felt good, a bit at a time and I will be doing even better.

breakfast Toast and jam dry tasty local jam

Suzie took the car to Pettigrews garage first thing again , after a road test etc, it was determined we need a new heater core. Not surprised at 17 years old. We discussed it and called Dale back, we actually do get some heat as long it is not turned on full blast. And because of the busy season and holidays decided they will do that job right after the New Year, it could be anywhere from a 2 to 5 hour job. But at least we do have some heat for now.

She got back here shortly after 11 am and we headed down  for lunch I tried the homemade soup today and it was very  tasty even though cream  soups are not my favorite then Micheal made me tasty sandwich 2 breakfast sausage that I enjoy.

a tasty soup

no pureed for me

tasty lunch

We chatted for while and back to my room I puttered around for a bit and Suzie enjoyed a much needed sleep, so nice that she is able to do this here. Then time for another walkabout on my own, with the walker un assisted, boy does this ever feel nice. I actually got 2 full laps walked better than before when I could not even do one with the wheel chair.

3 pm Happy Hour, and relax a bit and chat some more.

Suzie mixed this up for me to go with my dinner

These are small portions you can tell by the cover and plate

Tonight was a tasty chicken breast , mashed and carrots to go with my salad, was so very tasty, Michael did another excellent meal.

very tasty I enjoyed this

    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
