SURPRISED


We drove over to Laurel Place to have a quiet visit with Vera before her lunch.  We arrived to find Vera sitting in her wheel chair by the front door and were told by her daughter we would be going across the road to have coffee.

I looked at Vera and asked if this was okay with her.  She said she did not know.  Not wanting to argue we tagged along behind them,  The coffee shop was exteremly crowed and noisy.  Our coffee was way to stronge.  The decision was made to sit outside.  Men wereworking on the road and it was still very noisy.  We wait for Louraine to finish another phone dall.

Thw three of us were unhappy so we asked Vera if she wanted to return to her room and maybe even back to bed.  She said yes.

We also realize our parking ticket was expired and feeling very frustrated we all crossed the road back.

It had not been a good experience.

I had found the whole experience very tiring.

It is no surprise that life does not always turn out as we expect.

We returned home to our happy neighbor hood where Tod and the boys are carrying wood around to make a front porch just like ours.  They work very hard until it starts to get dark.

Saturday we planed looking at chesterfields with Sandra. I did not feel up to making any decisions.  So we are going out to eat together with her and Carol and Panteli.  We leave it to them to decide where and when to go.

Dad goes for a bike ride and I am trying to gather up some stuff to take to the Thrift Store.

What  we hope for is to be able to help others as we all search for meaning in our lives and learning the lessons life has to teach us.

And the surprises continue when we were both leaving messages on each others phones but not reaching anyone. I had been puttering around outside and did not have my cell phone. When I came inside the lunch Randy had made smelled so good it was hard to resist.

We will try for today instead.

I started watching that Netflix show, Diagonises. Very interesting and sad in a way. I think years and years of medical tv shows have left us with the false impression of doctors as gods and all knowing and not to be agured with. This is of course not the case, and really it is us, the patients who have to push on even when we are being made to feel stupid for not trusting their opinions.

Yes Sandra it is an intereting look into the medical profession.

The doctor who early on said I did not have celiac
caused memany moreyears of discomfort.

We have to fight for our health and help the doctor to find answers.

Thanks for coming wih us and encouraging us to make a decision about our chesterdield.

We did need help.

Ken phoned while we were out so hope he phones back today.

I will rest up today!
