Lost Time

500 views

Well, I seem to have lost track of time. I thought it was last week so I missed my appt with my neuro. Oh well. The good thing is that I figured out what day it really was and will not miss Jim's appt at the hospital for his ultrasound and his doppler scans on his legs which is tomorrow. I can always make another appt with my neuro, it will just cost me some bucks for missing this one.

 

Had to go to the store and that's always a fun time for me. I'm 5ft tall and a lot of the stuff I need is way up high where I can't reach it. Been known to climb thhe shelves to get what I want or to go find something with a long handle so that I can knock what I need down off the shelf. The most fun thing for me, though, is when I hijack a stranger who is pretty tall and ask them to reach something for me. Most of the time I get some very polite help and then they hurry up and get away from this strange little person. Once in a while I find someone who makes a smart remark about me being short and then I dog them all the way through the store asking him in this case to get things for me and making remarks about his being tall while he makes remarks about me being short. Sort of makes shopping fun and interesting.

 

Well, gotta get some sleep before getting up for that test of Jim's. Sleep well all!

You need one of those long handled grabbers that people in wheelchairs use. I use my husband's more than he does. You can get them on the internet or through a rehab therapist. But your idea of dogging a tall guy around sounds like more fun.

 

Missing appointments sure makes you feel silly or stupid sometimes when you miss them for day dreaming which is what I've done a few times. But it happens to the best of us.
