Month: October 2015

Today my wife Sharon is scheduled for surgery at the Clinic.  We got up early, travelled through heavy rain, and got there at 0800 – late – but things went forward.

When Sarah, Allen and I were i the pre surgery room with Sharon, I joked with the nurses.  “Are these the responsible adults who are going to take you home?”  One asked.  “Don’t worry”, I replied, “We have a party bus!”

She went into surgery at 1045: we waited and worried: Allen and Sarah were great support.

At 2pm I was paged to a room for doctor consultation, and was immersed in anxiety, so I tried yoga breathing: it worked.  What helped even more was the sight of Dr. Robyn Stewart walking in with a big smile: “Every thing went as well as could be expected!”.

We packed up, and at 5pm brought her home: long day.

 

A man came over to look at the garage doors, we had Yoga with Katie, and then I had my hair cut by the lovely kim.

We ate at Jakes, I had a dance lesson with Julie, and then I attended the Avon Lake Dems meeting.

I worked on the stationary tubs in the utility room, and then Katie came over for yoga, bearing gifts – see above.  The gifts are from both Jen and Katie…

Sharon was under the weather, and I have a strained hamstring, but our super yogi adapted our sessions to our problems!

Supper was carry in from Subway.

We attended a democratic event – Spaghetti dinner with Sherrod Brown – and it was a good event.

Then I traveled downtown for a Russian Lesson with Daniil at the Monte Ahuja College of Business

Back home. Allen and Sarah came over.  We had chilli, and worked in the basement rec room and utility room.  They were a big help.

Those new cabinets contain lots of storage boxes.

A lot has been accomplished!

In the AM, I had a massage with Tennie at EMH, and then a Russian Lesson with Daniil at troubadours.

We had supper at Thai Fun in Tremont with Dave and Sherrie to celebrate his birthday.

I took Sharon to metro for pre-op activity, and had Russian at heritage cafe on E.12.

Back home, we had dinner at Jakes with Brad and Lynn.

Sharon had a cath at Fairview hospital, and it was negative for blockage.

Four months after we got water, the major reconstruction in our basement is complete.

I trained at the gym and then attended our weekly lunch.

I strained my left hamstring at the gym.

In the basement, the new cabinets were being built.

 

After a breakfast at Bob evans, we followed the Fall Colors tour to Coschocton and stopped at historic Roscoe Village.  After eating and touring, we drove to Marietta, where we spent the night.

We stayed at the Hampton.

I trained at the gym, we lunched at Burntwood, and prepared for our trip on the weekend.
