Tuesday October 13: Knee Issue Dr. Appt, Yoga & Choir

Well, good day America today! I got up early for my Tuesday meeting. I got there on time and then Amazon called and I thought they were calling about the Dorchester, but really they were calling about

delivery at Mike’s. The meeting was about one day at a time and that was very appropriate, considering all the stuff going on right now. I got the Mike’s and all my deliveries were there

when I Got to his house fortunately there was a bunch of stuff. I got a super coffee, the icy lemonade, and a few yogurt. Unfortunately Mike didn’t get his order. It was arrived really early

and somebody stole everything. That included a couple bananas and yogurts or other things. Anyhow, when I got there around 9:15 or so the guy was already there. The repairman

is fixing the bathroom particularly the tile next to the bathtub. It wasn’t just a patch up job. He was there drilling and putting sheets over it. Basically he covered up the old tile with this modern tile.

Anyhow, it was time to eat lunch. I ate the leftovers from a previous dinner and that was good. It had chicken in it so it had some protein which I’m gonna need when getting this knee in recovery. After

that I went to walk towards my appointment with Dr. Stillman at noon. I get this call from his secretary that it’s going to be a telehealth appointment. I was basically two blocks away when the call came

in so I had to take a telehealth appointment. That was kind of bogus! There were problems in the building the computers didn’t work, the elevators

weren’t working, etc. Well, the Computer worked long enough for Dr Stillman to take the call. I was at rival Brothers coffee shop. I difficult in putting the

camera in the right spot so he would show his knee and tell me point to an area so the thing that hurt is when I planted my foot and turned and the knee can’t

take that so he instantly said OK. It’s a meniscus tear. It’s based on my old injury from high school coming back to bite me in the ass 50 years later.

Anyhow, I got back to Mike’s did some last-minute cleanup and headed to Tina‘s 4 o’clock 90 minute class. I told Tina what was going on and she said you

know be careful with the tree toe and I did try to be careful when the heat did help out, and I didn’t have any pain, but I did take it easy. Went back to Mary’s

and now heading to Choir or not my left my left knee is acting up. I’m looking forward to just sitting for a while while in

Choir to rest the knee. Well choir rehearsal was pretty good. I got to relax my knees, etc. We went over the Philadelphia fanfare song for a while and went over other songs as well. Once I got back Maryann and I had some mimosa and some Indian food leftovers, which are very tasty. We watched one Law and order and decided we both needed sleep. 

Monday, October 12: Nicer Day. Mike’s & Yoga. Right Knee

Good day everybody have a really miserable Sunday. I woke up to it being cloudy but not raining. Eventually, the sun did come out and it was turned to be

a nice looking day today. Completely different from yesterday with a drenching rain made everything damp. All my clothes did get dried, which was

good. Mary had a PT appointment at nine this morning. We both got up early. She got me some coffee, which was nice. Then I arrived in Mike’s around

9:12 AM and did some stuff in the beginning of the day and then we did go for a walk. Mike got a call from the landlord that they’re gonna finally repair the

tile in his bathroom after a year of doing nothing. I would say maybe longer than a year. I just don’t remember. Anyhow, Mike did some cleaning of

the bathtub. I eventually got to the bathtub and had to flood the water cause he couldn’t bend over to unclog the water and ended up having to sweep the residue

. He put the toilet thing backwards that was easy to repair and then next thing you know was trying to go to Yoga. Also forgot to eat the leftovers that I brought

with me from Mary’s. Hopefully, it’s still good. I smelled OK when I checked it out but I’ll test it out tomorrow. I ordered a bunch of food for Mary’s and Mike’s place. One of them had to be delivered through “Amazon now.“ I didn’t want to order through them, but they kind of forced me too because it was something we needed, which was pasta sauce so it did arrive on time but Mary had a late leave later than she wanted to do her laundry. It’s now 3:47 PM. I did a pretty good pace. I’ll like to get there by 3:50 PM. Well, I went to class and it was good. I felt really good in class today. After class, I went up to put up my Matt and I felt a twinge in my knee. Made an appointment with Dr. Stillman for tomorrow.

Thursday, May 14: Cool! Mike’s Appointment and Yoga

Good day everybody today I had to get the Mike’s by 8 o’clock and I largely succeeded in that but the problem was I forgot to sign in till I was waiting for Mike to get out of Dr Shaby‘s office. The rideshare that was coming in showed up right after I showed up so it was a good thing I got their own time. I called Amanda of my employer and she got a little touchy with me and saying I’ve told you about this before. I’ve never signed in outside of Mike’s Apartment before I don’t know where she was coming maybe in a bad mood so I’d have to fill out a silly old timesheet. I didn’t see it in the email yet so I’m looking to get that filled out so I can get paid for today. Anyhow, I didn’t feel like doing much. I was pretty tired you know at the end of the week bullshit that you know the tiredness catches up to me. It’s awfully cool outside, but sometimes mid May can be as cool as 63° for the high. I think I slightly underdressed. It’s OK to be outside for a little bit but for a while like I did today doesn’t really work. I did go to CVS and get Michael a couple of items and I took my sweet time I hung around. I took pictures and I went through the CVS. His mom‘s Meals came in as well today. Fortunate got paid today so I have a little bit of money which is nice. I go to Yoga and then CODA I’m really hoping I can take one of my power naps before going to CODA cause I’m pretty tired. I was up too late again. Mary did a nice job and updated our last itinerary. That’s a lot of organizing and she’s pretty organized, which is good. Well, I got last-minute eggs and bread for Mike as well as a couple yogurts. I got back to Mike’s and he wanted to do Friday a.k.a. tomorrow to go to the mall with me and he got a little bit testy that I didn’t really wanna do it so at this point we’re gonna do next Thursday which means what I’m gonna do is take SEPTA back-and-forth cause I don’t feel like spending $45 each way to go to the freaking bum fuck mall. Mike says he’s sick of being in the apartment I’m like yeah… Anyway, I’m off to yoga 4 o’clock class. Chalice  is teaching a class. I just realized that I’m in a bit of a bitchy mood and I just wasn’t in the mood to run around with Mike specially when he wanted a wheelchair. I say  no! Went to class in class went pretty well I must say and then I after class Mary & I went back took a nap and then I went off to my CODA session which was pretty good about the feelings wheel and how to describe our feelings and then we came back and had pasta, which is really delicious. We watched Law and order and watched a couple couple of skits from Stephen Colbert, which were very good. The monologues were very good that is. One more day of cool weather than we’re supposed to heat up towards the weekend.
