A day of no particular significance.
Tue Nov 04 2003

Well, some significance. Harry had two doctor appointments today. Oh, excuse me, maybe you don't know who Harry is. He's a friend who's had a stroke and has macular degeneration, so he can't drive. So I'm his chauffeur.

Anyway--Harry's eye doctor was at the unholy hour of 0900 hours. I had to set my alarm. But in order not to be jarred awake, I set the alarm to "wake to music." Darn! and I was in the middle of a very interesting dream.

This doctor has coffee and cookies for his patients. I didn't have any coffee, but I did sample the cookies. Never saw a cookie I didn't like, especially chocolate chip or oatmeal/raisin. We got through there in jig time, and Harry's next appointment wasn't until 1140 hours. He had to have blood drawn before his appointment, and would you believe, he got right in. We probably waited 15 at the outside from the time we arrived until we walked down the hall to his regular appointment. Considering it was Monday morning that was next thing to a miracle.

But that left us an hour until his regular appointment with his other doctor (to check his coumadin dosage). However, his doctor just happened to come out to the waiting room and saw us sitting there. She went and got his chart from under a dozen others and saw him right away. I had him back home before lunch.

He wanted to take me to lunch, but all I wanted to do was get home and go back to bed.

Well, not back to bed, but did fall asleep in my recliner. Once again a dream was interrupted by a phone call. My daughter. Now generally I love talking with her, but all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. Which, by the way, is exactly what I'd like to be doing right now.

So, g'nite all. Chat with you tomorrow.

Shalom

Oh, by the way, my eye is becoming quite colorful.

    Awww! Poor you, Chaya! Now you probably look like you've been in a gang fight!
    Poor Harry. I'll pray for him, Chaya. I hope he can recover. Do you think he can? Still, I'm glad he got to see his doctor right away. I'm happy he has you to look after him.
    LOL @ the cookie remark! I've never met a cookie I didn't like, either!
    Love,
    E.L.

    Hi Chaya :)
    It's very nice to hear a "good doctor" story for a change, nice to know there are still some out there. *smile* It sounds like your knock to the head is still affecting you, so try to sleep all you need to,
    Take care, (((hugs))) and Hooroo, Kelpie.

    Hope you had an enjoyable nap. I would love to curl up around my wood stove like the cats are right now and fall asleep.
    Instead I am going to bundle up and trudge down to the barn to feed horses. It's supposed to go down to the low 20's tonight.
    I can't wait for some California sun!!!!

    I am sure a restful day is much needed. I hope your eye is healing and at least not too painful! Owww indeed! Take care and rest well.
