Busy Medical Day
Today was the day that Dennis was scheduled for his pre-op for the foot surgery on this Friday, the 21st.
I always accompany Dennis to appointments as two sets of ears is better than one. The first thing Dr. Eatwell did was check my cane over to make sure it was safe. The Hurricane canes that pivot at the base he would not recommend. My cane is solid at the base and got the nod of approval. Good news for me.
What I appreciate with our family doctor is that one or the other of us may have the appointment, but we both get a mini check up. Priceless.
Dennis passed the test with the little sticky buds that got put on his chest and read his heart and it is in good shape. On to bl00d work and a chest X-ray. Wednesday Dennis will need a Covid test. We will then be goo0d to go until Thursday night when we phone to see what time we need to be in Mankato on Friday for his surgery.
Dennis asked Dr. Eatwell about a handicap hanger for our vehicle. Considering Dennis’ age and my physical walking which can be a bit tottering with my eye on the winter surfaces, it was not a problem. Dennis has the paper to take to our motor vehicle office tomorrow. Had it not been for the holiday closing today, it would have been taken care of by now.
Though the afternoon was short, I do have several items laid out to tackle tomorrow. Having a new needle in the machine, a full bobbin and the grease ports taken care of, it will be a great start.
