I don't really want to talk about today, because it wasn't the best day I've had...and yet, it had nice components. Cheryl is a real sweetie, and she took me to the doctor. I asked her to, and she was glad to comply, and even took pains to make it a fair outing. I wasn't unpleasant, but she and Yon son, who also went with to help out, knew long before today came, how I felt about going. It would be different if I were Ill. But, no, I am not sick. Anyway. Cheryl was so supportive, that on the way back, she actually got me to smile and even laugh. I usually can't grin, or bring myself anywhere close to it, until I have been back home for at least an hour. We have a great time together every day. She comes early in the morning, helps out with breakfast, and cleaning, and errands, and is gone within about an hour and a half. We sing. We talk. We trade stories and jokes,and get a lot of housework done before she goes.She knows me pretty well by now, and she is fully aware that I am not myself when I am forced to go out in sunshine,and heat.During the day. The middle of my night. Um. Why do I get the feeling that I am repeating myself? Oh. That's right. I already went through all that earlier in my rant about doctors. Well, consider this an update then. Something new and refreshing did occur, however. The doctor decided that I won't have to come back again for SIX months.Not three. How's THAT for an idea? I like it! Maybe I'll keep him. I don't know yet. But, I'll definately keep Cheryl as a friend...maybe I'll adopt her...as my sister..I don't know. Can you do that? At any rate, she had me thinking that maybe it wasn't such a bad day after all. It was sort of nice to be out in the fresh air,and see people,and Yon son was so sweet to go here and there and get things for our supper. It just goes to show you that the thing you dread the most, sometimes turns out much better than you expect it will. And, perhaps, just perhaps, the three month thing got changed around because I gave him a thumbnail sketch of what it is really like for me to have to go out, and maybe he understood how difficult it is...unlike most other people. I was only in the sun, in the car for about fifteen minutes, with tons of sunscreen on, and I have a sunburn on my right arm, the right side of my face,and my neck. I just hope it fades away, and doesn't blister and peel,but I don't doubt I will freckle! I always do that! YUK! But, praise the lord, I don't have to go back to see him for SIX months! Hurrah! And, today is over, (sigh) and I am so relieved. What a load off my mind.This was the last of three tough hurdles I was going to have to go through, that I have been dreading for the last two months, and now, they are past. One was an interview, (very serious) two was an anniversary,(very somber) and now this doctor's visit. Thank God it's all over! Now, I can relax...until the next time.All I can say is, for the moment, all is well.
OUI?
