Yesterday, David had a doctor's appointment to get the results of the MRI he had on his right knee in early May. This meant getting up at 5:30 and sitting in the office for over an hour until we were seen. Unfortunately, the results couldn't be found, so home we came, with a trip to the grocery store on the way. Later in the morning the Doctor phoned, to let us know that the results had been found,and he suggested that we go back this morning to discuss a course of action. Just be there before 8:00, he says. Well we slept in until 6:30, and made it, and were seen right away. He agreed to a prescription for an electric lift chair like mine,( it saves us the sales tax) and an application for a handicapped parking permit for David. ( he uses mine, which, of course, is illegal.) But it was just after 7:30 when we got out of the office, so we came home for breakfast, and then headed to the other side of town about 10:00 to buy the lift chair, and then home again via the grocery store and library.
We have both spent the afternoon vegging out. Absolutely exhausted. Our cable tv is out, so we didn't even have that, and barely noticed it was missing. We had planned to have Chinese food for supper, but didn't even have the energy to walk across the street to get it, and,instead, just raided the fridge. I'm starting to feel guilty about how little we are doing, but right now see it as a necessary evil, until my knees settle down. Maybe I should just enjoy it while I can.
