Thursday, March 26: Mild! Rehab, Mike’s, Appeal, and Pilates

How do boys and girls today is Thursday, March 26. Yes March is moving right along. Today I had to get up at 7:45 AM to go to Rehab at 9:15 AM because I have a welfare hearing today between the hours of 2 PM and 4 PM and I couldn’t take the chance of being at Rehab and not getting back in time for the phone call that would really be not good. So I went there and I got a good workout today. That’s for sure. I use electronic things in my electronic stickers wouldn’t stick so she got me some new one did those exercises and took the seven bus to Mary’s. That bus takes you to a magical mystery tour all through South Philly and straight up 22nd St. where I got off at Locust. Once I got to Mary’s, she offered me half a bagel sandwich, which is absolutely delicious! I really enjoyed that I dropped off the monitor and then headed back to Mike’s. Mike’s mom’s meal showed up today and hopefully next week will be canceled. well, after I left Mary’s, I went to Mike’s did a little straightening up and satin had lunch. After I had lunch, I decided to go outside and throw out some trash and it was so nice out that I just sat out there and watch people go by Mike called me and said somebody from Penn‘s delivering some infusion stuff in a box and five minutes later the guy came. After that, it was a matter of sitting and waiting for the welfare people to call between 2 and 4 PM. At around 2:23 right after I texted Mary they called and we agreed to turn in all the forms and it’s now 2:59 PM and I’m gonna be faxing these statements to welfare at the Staples at 15th and Spruce or 15th and Chestnut that’s a CVS. I’m going by right now. 

Wednesday, March 25: Dermatology Mike Home, Meeting, & Yin

Hello everyone out there in the Internet land it’s midweek in the last week of March. Last night, I slept all the way through the night, except twice to get up and drink some water. I didn’t have to take any pain relief medication, which was nice. I did take the sleeping pill though just so I would sleep. Anyhow, got up had a banana and Mary and I went to Montreal spread bagel and got some of their delicious coffee. I then went to Dr. Ehrlich’s office for my first dermatology appointment. Norm I go in June so now I’m gonna go in late March or early April for my yearly check up I suppose. After I went to Dr. Ehrlich‘s Mike called and said his ambulance was picking him up at 11:30 AM. I was thankful it wasn’t at 10:30 AM that would’ve been a problem. Anyhow the ambulance came in well they had a man and a woman brother and sister who were ethnic Russians and they couldn’t pick up Mike. They tried going step-by-step and they had to call two other guys to help get Mike up the steps. Once Mike got settled I had lunch and then it was time to go to my therapist. I went to that appointment that went very well. I think we got something good to talk about. And then heard from Mary who was at the genius bar trying to figure out our hard drive situation and how to save photos to an external hard drive. That process is complicated. After a bunch of talk, it was decided that Apple Support would call at 9 PM tonight after our meeting at 5:30 PM and after yin. Well, I went back to Mike Mike’s place and he already had stuff all over the floor so I cleaned that up. It was just papers and stuff. He then really had a struggle getting back-and-forth to the bathroom from his bed to the point where he “felt funny“. Anyhow, I told him I’d be in and then leave for PT, which is early tomorrow because of the welfare appeal that he’s having tomorrow. It’s now 4:29 PM. We have a 530 meeting at the ethical Society that’s Early Night Out. That was my first meeting ever was there, but it used to be at a different location at 12th and Locust. Well, we got home and mellow out for an hour and Mary showed off her exercise exercises medicine sweatshirt that you got from Shelley to support the Michael J. Fox foundation for Parkinson’s. Then we got our stuff packed and headed out to the ethical society for Early Night Out. I have not been to that meeting in a long long time. We then ran into Mary Sue there and went to the meeting. It was a traditions meeting about tradition three how anybody can be a member just by saying their member. Saw a couple people I hadn’t seen in a long time. It was a good meeting after that we went to Yin and I could tell the room was very hot while all the people exiting out pretty sweaty. We went to upstairs and Hannah was teaching and that was pretty chilled. A lot of people there for 30 day challenging at this point. It was very mellow. It is good to give my arms the rest as well. We then ordered Indian on the way back and I went to pick it up Mary was looking for a hard drive and getting a support call at 9 o’clock. It’s not 9:07 PM waiting for my order from Royal Indian. 

Tuesday, March 24: Funky Sleep. Mike, Rehab & Yoga

Good morning ladies and gents. It’s a cold sunny day here in Philadelphia with a low this morning was 38 when I rested myself out of bed ate some breakfast had some coffee and then went to my psychiatrist appointment. It’s the last appointment. I’ll be seeing her because she’s already moved to Las Vegas with her husband and a kid. She didn’t like the cold weather in the East Coast. So I’ve one more virtual appointment with her and then off to a new person. After that I wobble down to Mike’s place and had lunch and killed time and had a super coffee. It’s now 1:17 PM. I’ve tried calling Mike twice and he has not answered the phone. This ought to be interesting about his release from the hospital. I also finally got a hold of DM Medical so I would get paid for the phone call so that was good. So while I’m sitting in Rehab, I may be getting a call from Mike saying “I’m getting out of the hospital.“ Good times really! Well, I went to rehab and that was different. Didn’t use any of the electronic stimulation today. We just did manual exercise. I demonstrated some of my yoga poses to her. I think I’ve decided I’m gonna keep my arm. My left arm bent, not straightening it up to relax the muscle there. Mike finally called while that Rehab and said that he was being kept overnight, which was kind of relief cause I thought I’d have to get up and run out and leave. I had to keep the call short. Anyway, I caught the 29. I’m going to the Broad Street line is now 2:43 PM. I got the Broad Street line and made it to Mike’s pretty quick because its train showed up right away. I then took a few moments of rest and then gathered up my stuff for the yoga class. Tina was teaching the class today. It was aI got the Broad Street line and made it to Mike’s pretty quick because its train showed up right away. I then took a few moments of rest and then gathered up my stuff for the yoga class. Tina was teaching the class today. It was a good class I enjoyed it, but I was really careful not to stretch my arms up too much cause I think I overdid it with my arms in the arms. Just don’t wanna stretch up anymore without paying for it all night. I did that and Mary and I went back to her place and then we went to the meeting. The meeting was decent and I shared. We then went to an Indian place Royal Indian and ordered food then went back to Mary’s place. Before going to Mary’s, who went to the convenience store, and found out why they didn’t have any of our diet drinks left.
