March 25/10

                    Another day and a cloudy one at that.  We had a beauty yesterday with sun all day and warm.  It was over 50*F so very pleasant.  Went to the hospital to visit a friend whose husband has not been to see her as yet, doesn't feel like it, he says.   She thinks he is in the throes of Alzheimers.  He does seem a dab depressed but he may snap out of it one of these days.   She had hip surgery and then fell after she came home and they had to redo the surgery and put a plate in and now has to stay in hospital for 4 weeks for therapy.   She is in a lovely room. she had her hair and nails done so looked good.

 

Today  my care giver came for an hour then my cleaning lady then the nurse to dress a lesion on my leg.  After a quick lunch I went to a lodge meeting.   After the meeting we had a fruit plate, cheese and tarts with our tea.  Always have to eat.   Tomorrow is a bridge game in the aft at a retirement home then cards with friends in the evening.   Will need Saturday to rest up.  Nice to be busy , especially at something that is entertaining.  

 

I watched some TV this morning and a Dr's show was on that I hadn't seen before.   They were on about diets and what we should eat and what not.   They had a recipe for brownies that are gluten free.   They used a can of black beans instead of flour.  Will make some and if they are as good a they say will send the recipe to my sister who is on a gluten free diet.   She was very ill in hospital a year or so ago and it took the Dr's a month to figure out what ailed her.   When they found out she had a bad allergy to gluten and  now that she eats nothing with gluten in it she is fine.   How do we get these things later in life?  How do we get anything?  I guess when we get older our body starts to fall apart or else we abused it  in our youth.   How did we know that the bod  wouldn't go on forever.

 

I had an e-mail today from the condo board telling me that they would not pay for my dish washer that the rat chewed a lot of it .  They said they will fix the hole it chewed through the wall.  I sent them an e-mail asking when they would do that job.   So far no answer.  I am not holding my breath on that one. 

 

The swans that were swimming on the bay yesterday were not there today  so must have found a better place to swim.   They may be back tho.  Hope all are enjoying the day.
