Having Great Fun

I had a colonoscopy Wednesday morning, which isn’t exactly great fun. (At least not for me.) But we more than compensated by enjoying a Bob Evans breakfast immediately afterwards. We actually went into the restaurant, sat a table, and had our food served to us. It was such great fun that Thursday we went to Outback Steak House for dinner. Today we had our second visit to Church in over a year followed by a very nice restaurant dinner at First Watch. We had forgotten how nice it is.

I needed new shoes and a few shirts for the summer. I actually went to a store, but didn’t see anything I liked. I couldn’t face up to going to multiple stores to find they didn’t have what I want in stock. I ended up ordering clothes online. Everything has been delivered. I like everything I ordered. Everything fit well. It turns out I didn’t have to wait for Covid to get my clothes.

I also visited an audiologist this week. I learned they can help me with my hearing. After several days of mulling, I contacted them with my hearing aid selection. This is a case where waiting for Covid was helpful. I select a hearing aid that was introduced just 4 months ago. I’m not sure when I will be fitted, but it won’t be before Monday the 19th because this week I’m flying to WPB to spend a few days with Mom. We have a long list of thigs to do, but I’m thinking we might find time for a couple of restaurant meals.

Danita is not joining me in WPB this year because Bud needs more support. Riderwood finally came out and said Bud is no longer safe in independent living and has to get more support. They had their professionals do an assessment last week. It’s an impressive array — PT, OT, speech therapy, and social workers. Danita expects to hear what level of care they recommend for Bud as early as today. For now, the only thing we know is that Bud will be moving to a new apartment. In the mean time, some of Bud’s furniture needs to be replaced. The couch is way too low for him. He needs a lift chair. He can’t take his electric cart. There are lots of decisions to make. Fortunately, the family agrees with what we know so far. Danita spent quite a bit if time looking at furniture.

As you can see there’s lots of activity in our house. It’s quite a change from our pre-immunity year. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
