October 28, 2014---Michelle’s in Loveland, Colorado


This was a busy, busy day for us...me because of all the appointments and Bill, because he’s my chauffeur.

At 8:15, I went to see the urologist.  I don’t have a UTI, which is good.  I am taking a different medicine now than he put me on several months ago.  The cost of the other one was prohibitive and it wasn’t working anyway.

We went to breakfast at McDonald’s at 9:30 and then squeezed a few errands in before the next appointment.  A quick stop at the library let me request two books from elsewhere.  The library here is so great and the staff is pleasant and helpful.

Since I am walking with a cane most of the time and we didn’t know where we needed to go to get a handicap sticker, we went to the Police Station.  They gave us a map to the driver’s license place.  Once we were there, we discovered we were once again in the wrong place.  We were sent to the department for license plates...no map, just an intersection in the downtown area of Loveland.  By process of elimination, we figured out which was the correct building.  The waiting line was long, so we left for an 11:00 appointment with the hearing specialists.

The first order of business there was another hearing test.  There was no change.  I am now an official member of the “Deaf In One Ear Club.”  There are several things we may try, but we won’t make a decision right now.  Some more steroid medication is in the works.

We went home for lunch and naps before going back to wait in line for a handicap plaque.  While waiting for my number to be called, I met an interesting young man, Nick Roussos.  I’ll tell about him on another day, but I was so involved in his story, I didn’t hear my number called.  Gad zooks!  I went on in the back work area and they took me out of order!

We went to Meredith and Dwaine’s for dinner.  Once back home, we did some preparations for going to South Dakota tomorrow.
