Watched the Mean Girls musical. It was better and worse than expected. Better direction. Lousy, forgettable score. Some excellent performances, especially from Renee Rapp.

What a week it has been!

Early a.m. audiology appointment Monday. Final hearing test to determine my eligibility for "hearing assistance". The outcome was positive. I have an appointment June 13th to be fitted with the things.

Yesterday, I had two appointments: One in Aiken SC with renal doctor (all is well...for now) followed by one in North Augusta for my stemwave treatment. It went well, too. I stopped at Taco Bell on the way home for a late lunch. I was out four-and-half hours...and I was shot when I got home. Passed out in my chair after eating my tacos.

This morning, I visited my podiatrist for follow-up care on my callous (right foot). It looks good. She shaved a bit off and told me to keep doing whatever I am doing because all seems well.

Tomorrow, sigh, I have an 8:40 a.m. stemwave appointment in North Augusta.

The week is a major mind-boggle for me because I stay on the road. I also get to my appointments early and often have to wait quite a while to be seen.

Glad I am retired!

I'm glad there is progress with your care.

That's all I know.

Shhhh...don't tell anybody I shared this with you!

I understand why you need to share this sad story with someone. Most of all I feel bad for Chad's son. I hope Chad does not subject the kid to more abuse.

I didn't realize you were going to Washington.

This evening, in our new hotel for only 1 night, we had a group dinner followed by entertainment.

Jane · « **Reply #99 on:** May 08, 2024, 02:04:05 PM »

For dessert we had a chocolate Guinness cake with a gently flavored Irish whiskey frosting.

Jane · « **Reply #100 on:** May 08, 2024, 02:04:32 PM »

OMG it was good.

Jane · « **Reply #101 on:** May 08, 2024, 02:09:09 PM »

The entertainment was a very talented group of musicians. Most enjoyable was the man playing a beautiful banjo, and the male singer with a guitar. There was also an eleven year old girl playing the harp. I mustn't forget the last two women in the group, one playing the violin and the other on the concertina.

Someone needs to write a twisted variation on King Lear, only about Tump and his icky love for his daughter. The madness is real after he gives up power and wants it back again.

Jane · « **Reply #103 on:** May 08, 2024, 02:20:44 PM »

Of course, to round out the Irish entertainment there was a talented couple dancing. I do love watching Irish dancers.

Well, around 2:15 I got up to prepare the cats' dinner and mine. I was leaning on one of the computer table's folding wings and it broke. The wing dropped, and I lost my balance and fell to the floor, twisting my left foot. There I lay on my back wedged between the living area and foyer.

Vibes for Larry that you're OK!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #106 on:** May 08, 2024, 03:09:02 PM »

I did a lot of screaming for help when finally my neighbor Judy heard me and came over. Her health is poor and she could do nothing but call Jen on five. She came down, moved the walker and teacart, and helped me turn over onto my stomach so I could stand. I am in a lot of pain but i was very lucky with my injuries: twisted ankle but i don't think it's a sprain and a bump on the back of my head where it hit a CD case in the fall.

Freddie · « **Reply #107 on:** May 08, 2024, 03:53:30 PM »

Hoping the pain gets better quickly, Larry!

Sorry about your fall, DR elmore3003.

Wednesday evening greetings! We survived last night’s tornadoes here in Ohio. They went south of us and north (only 2.5 miles - yikes!).

Oh, and I was enrolled in Medicare A and B. I've been told that I may want to look into enrolling in Medicare Advantage and I'll be talking to someone about that, as I don't understand any of that stuff.

No one does, BK.

The pain is bad so there might be a sprain or muscle tear. If I feel this way tomorrow, I may head to an ER.

Yikes, indeed. WAY too close for comfort. Glad you were spared.

I wish I could help. But in my work life, that is not my area of expertise.

When the DH turned 65 a few years ago, I did a lot of research.

We ended up leaving him on my work insurance for the time being.

But the point is, there are MANY online sources, governmental and private, to help explain all of this.
