Finally!

Hi, Finally! Whew! It has been a tid frazzling; however, we have got quite a bit done!

This am, after various phone appts, we went to Alan's Doctor; and he was given a prescription for Tylenol 3's. The morphine that he has presently been given for the severity of the pain, is extremely powerful stuff. So, instead of taking the morphine every 6 hrs; we are going to reduce it to one at night, until no longer necessary. Alan has crutches; but a cane works far better; as the crutches are more of an impediment, believe it or not.

After the appt, we went to see Alan's Mum and Dad. They were at lunch in the depressing cafeteria; and we are all looking forward to moving them out of "that" horrid lifeless place. The food does not even look appetizing. Small wonder people in there, look like skeletons.

We then went and picked up Alan's prescription, got some food supplies (eggs for scrambled eggs...his Dr. highly recommended scrambled eggs!), did some banking, and then headed for home.

We have a dear older friend, who just lost her husband; and most unexpectedly. On our route home, we went to our friendly florist; and he very kindly made up a wonderful arrangement of colourful flowers and fresh salial. Absolutely breathtaking!

Tidbit - Be of good cheer to others; even if you are feeling a tidbitz weary. It is the little things that help. Alan's parents were uplifted by our surprise visit. The florist noticed I was feeling a bittidz out of sorts, and he said, "leave it to me; I will put together a beautiful bouquet for you and for your friend." And he did just that; and I enjoyed watching him put together the heartfelt display! It was an interesting link of events; Alan's parents were uplited by our visit, we left their hovel, that much more appreciative and thankful; and then the florist, who joyfully created a gift of beauty, which in turn gave a lift to our friend.

Our friend is Japanese; and she had tea and special Japanese bean cakes prepared for us. We were taken back in time a bit; and we are honoured that she is our friend. Her husband was a lovely man. Fortunately, she has her son who is staying with her; and close friends nearby to pitch in.

Bittid - When you give to others, you feel so much better. That is so tid true; and it is amazing, how many positive things start happening!

Tidbitical - The doctor suggested that scrambled eggs, ginger, and shitake mushrooms may add a holistic nutritional benefit to help with the recovery re: Alan's shoulder injury. Because of the recent "skin infection" with his leg, the pain in his shoulder, has subsided temporarily.

Bittidical - Also, we came home to our Nikken order; which now Alan is wearing as a support. The product is an "Elastomag Shoulder Wrap"; a mixture of Magnetic and Far Infrared technologies. He has already noticed a bit of gentle warmth and soothing. Can not make medical claims; but it certainly would be nice, if Alan did not need to have surgery at the end of the day.

All in all, it has been a good day; and I am glad that dinner is coming up! Am about to make up some scrambled eggs, mixed in with a fresh green pepper from our tidbit garden produce, and some bittid of store bought Portabella mushrooms. (Portabella, I like that name!)

God Bless.
