Way to go, Linda! You'll think of places to go to with paratransit.

Hey, I’m gonna go even if Gina can’t. She and I will talk about it tomorrow morning, and at that point I’ll be able to coordinate with Paratransit. Hope I can go this upcoming Monday. Hey, I need something really good to look forward to, and I’m trying to get really imaginative with recreational trips via Paratransit to make that happen.

Hi, Linda,
I know what it's like to get mad at yourself for not being able to do something you could once do. Before I got physical therapy, I had a lot of trouble opening bottles--even with a lid opener. Thank God that's all over with now.
Hometown Cafe sounds like a great place. I hope you and Gina can go.

Thanks so much, Vickie. Yeah, this is rough indeed! I’m having
difficulty even functioning in my own home and doing necessary
stuff. I’m not at all good to myself, cussing myself out when I
can’t do something right that I need to do. I frustrate easily
these days. The therapy I’m having right now will end on Tuesday
the 13^th . I suspect things will calm down for me after the last
K-laser therapy session ends and I can spend more time at home
just resting and can spend a little less money on cab fare. Someone I know mentioned going out to Hometown Café today, and
I’ve got to call them, find out their menus (they change everyday
I think if memory serves). I love their meatloaf and tariociwings
and macaroni and cheese. Of course, I love a lot of other things
they have like their fried chicken, nice and deep-fried and fairly
good sized pieces of chicken. They also have ham and roast beef
but they may alternate which days they have them. Hoping Gina can
go with me, but if she can’t I’ll take Paratransit and go there by
myself. We’ll talk about it tomorrow when I see her for breakfast
before my therapy appointment.
Again, thanks Vickie and all for your prayers of support. I can
sure use them as it’s hard for me to pray for myself at this time.

So sorry all these things have been happening to you. You use to
be so mobile, even though you suffered with the radiation and
other things. I mean, not traveling with a cane? Wow! That’s
not like you at all. We’ll be praying for you for sure. Do take
care and know we’re all here for you. Kathleen, I’m glad you can
get to the Apple store tomorrow too, and they will fix you up for
sure.

Glad your shopping trip works out for you, Kathleen, and hope you
can get
everything you want done at Apple tomorrow. Glad your friend can
take you there,
and he's doing it even with bad knees. Bless him. I know what
that's all
about. I'm so sorry you're still having so much trouble with your
shoulder. Oh
howdy duty, I sure know how you feel having neck and shoulder pain
constantly.
I've had to have lots stronger medication because of that, but
still get dizzy
and sometimes fall. Obviously, under no circumstances can I travel
with a cane
anymore. Don't know if this will be permanent or long term. Really scarey
stuff is happening to me, and I just hope my new doctor can make
sense of what
I'm gonna tell her next week.

I want the rep to help me back up the phone too. Because I keep
getting a
notification telling me I have to do it but since I don't have
Wi-Fi over here
oh well. If the picture doesn't get done tomorrow well that's OK.
I can always
go back to just depends on how busy they are. Yes everything is still
barricaded. And some of the first floor is actually being torn
apart where the
auditorium is so things are really find a vest up. They had some
water leaks
over there too and that turned into a mess from what I've been
told. So that's
the way that goes. A friend of mine went to look at some radios
and he found one
he said it was really small it was AM/FM and CD and he said the
singles like a
toy. He told me I had dials on it and it was only $35. So that's
basically that.
When I can't wear my Birkenstock sandals anymore I'm going to send
them back to
get fixed. They need to be resold. So I don't know how much
they'll cost me what
I want to get that done so that's basically what I'm going
to do. But yes I got everything put away and she cleaned up the
Snapple mess.
Thank odd most of it stayed in the bagp boy am I glad the shopping
trip is done.
Tomorrow is I said hopefully will be the Apple Store I just don't
know what time
we're going to go. The person is going with me he has bad knees so
we're going
to take her time. We're not going to rush either. I told him I
didn't want to
but no I'm still in pain I still feel like I have a stiff neck all
the time.
Every time I turn my head to the right ouch that doesn't feel very
good either.
If I stay on my right side too long oh boy. Not good but hey I'm
learning to
live with it. But no I have trouble opening those Tylenol bottles.
I wish those
came and screw tops but I'm fortunately they don't. But yes I'm
glad the
shopping done but the thing is we forgot margarine and I can't
remember what
else. Oh well I told her we could even get that at the drugstore
because I do
sell food. There's a Walgreens not far from here so that's
OK. So I can get margarine at least if I need it. And I got a
lot of bananas
too. I'm really glad and I got uses it all my Snapple and ginger
rail and Coke
zero. So I got most everything I wanted.
