This Week

A busy week-At Wegman's grocery store on thursday & got back into on the right side of car by a 84 year old lady- Got estimates and about $850 damage-Have an appointment to get it fixed on Oct. 6th-Nationwide will pay most of it, less our deductable-Driveable, but doesn't look to good-
Kathy & Gary here for dinner today & then we played some cards ( pitch )-Kathy brought a whole bunch of coupons which she collects from work & I am just going thru them-Really use them a lot and at the price of food today they help a lot-The economy doesn't look good & don't know what will happen with us poor folks, grew up in the depression, so can handle, just have to change our ways-
Go to doctors on monday to get check up & talk about new seizure meds I'm taking-Got a note today from Doctors to come on Ocyt.11th to get our flu shots-

Busy weekend

Got thru the weekend, but very tired yet today-Took Ev to Doctors at Highland Hospital on friday, a spine doctor-After looking at the MRI pics & explaining them to us, he said nothing much he could do for her-He did give her a shot in the bursa, below the right hip-Said her lower back was not good and cushions pretty well gone in most of that area-He thought this was causing all the pain-Said she could take more of the pain pills than she was taking-Not good news, as it sounds like she will have to live with it-
At least I got her there and back safely-Always worry about that, as a long trip with my problems-
Saturday Kathy took us to the Windmill in Pen Yann-I rented a wheelchair for Ev & we got thru most of it-A very large crowd there-Spent some time visiting with Grand-daughter Michelle at her booth she has there-Very hard pushing the wheelchair thru it & Kathy did most of that-Good to see it all, as it has been several years since being there-
Went by Brother David's place on our way-Quite a bit of wind damage there from the tail end of the hurricane-Goofing off today, just laundry & returned the wheelchair-Quite cool here and a sweatshirt on for the first time since spring-Also have a belly ache ( to much candy )

Haven't written on this in a while, so will atempt some thoughts-Out today to Bank, Post Office, Med Supply, & gas station-Gas is $3.79 here today-Tomorrow I take Ev to Rochester to another specialist-This one is an Orthopedic Doctor at Highland hospital-Haven't been there since Phyllis was there in 1962-
Ev had an MRI & local Doctor can't help her problem, so hopefully this one can-She is in a lot of pain and can't sleep, even with her strong pain pills-It is a long way from here to Rochester, but the Doctors there are keeping her alive, so well worth the trip-I do still have some trouble with my siezures, so try to be very careful driving-They are trying a new med for them, but not up to strength yet-
Kathy called and wants to take us to the Windmill in Pen Yann on saturday, if Ev can handle it-If we do I will take the wheel chair-Michelle has a place there & would love to see it-
We are looking for a new apartment, a place where she can walk right in with her walker-So hard for her to do the steps up to our three bedroom here-I put in an application at a nice complex this morning-Hard to believe this complex of over 300 apartments doesn't have a first floor walk in-
Okay everyone have a good day and weekend-Love Dad/Grampa/Uncle/Friend

Weekend

Quite a weekend-Jan, George, Rebecca & Mellisa here on saturday-The girls brought us Quizno's subs & we had a good visit-Brought there dog who was very good and behaved well-So good to see them all-Sunday Ev's grand-daughter & boyfriend came for dinner & I made spaghetti & my special sauce-Susan & daughter also showed up & ate with us-Was pooped that night as kitchen hot, but glad to see everybody-Had to call cops sunday night, as a stranger in our parking lot for several nights and making a mess out there-They came about 12:30 & took care of things-Something about the guy being on parole on the cops radio, we could hear on his radio with his door open-Interesting place we live in here-
