Hoping that some of the fog is lifting in my life ---then R reports a concern for the blip on his eyelid. He researched and thinks it could be cancer so became - after how long??? - aggressive about finding healthcare! Appointment at 2 pm Sunday afternoon (!!!) with a Dr. from the Jewish General!
I have one tomorrow with the oncologist. A mystery but scheduled some time ago. R will come with me! Last week, it was only blood tests so I went alone. First time and in my inexperience with parking in an abyss, I had no idea where I left my care other than I "kept going around and around..." It took security 2 hours to find it - I showed them pictures! How many cream/yellow/tan? cars could be down there?? I feared I would not have the energy to look and look; if I tired there was no place to sit! OK! Next time take a photo of the sign on the wall! I thought there would be cameras down there --but they were inadequate!
The upshot is that I sat and listened to 3 people chatting. Toward the end, I told them that I had no idea what they were talking about but appreciated their spirit. (my discrimination problem - even with the hearing aids finally working well!!! WE chatted a bit longer and found we live close together here in Chateauguay. We had met first thing in the oncology blood test dept that morning. May be some chance of sharing transport, esp since two had none.
I have finally come out of the woods sufficiently to figure out how to wrest a change of Driver's license (appt 29 October), phoned re car insurance - a company I used before- and the nice man thought I could do the car registration at the same time. And my health card still has not arrived but is promised - maybe we can check at the hospital tomorrow. I miss my home but will be happy to be all in one place again - legally anyway! I hope to still be able to get home for a few days now and again.
R brought some firewood so I am having a small fire in the evenings, warming the den a bit for reading. Today, the heat had come on in the rest of the house; it is set fairly low for now. WE live mainly in the den, K and BR - which only requires a light quilt for now.
I managed to damp mop the floors, thinking of how to get the house clean enough for my son who may come in November. His grade 7 best friend is coming to Montreal (he grew up here) with his partner (I doubt he will stay with us!) but Taun likes a clean house. Jeff does also! I do too!
My energy has up and downs but I was able to go for a walk with a friend last week, along the river, and I feel better for having done it. Need to try harder to do it more often.
I still have not been inclined to make a pot and am giving serious consideration to divesting myself of all that; still have a full studio at Beaver which I am basically giving to my neighbour, along with minimal guidance (lack of energy).
