Yuma, AZ
Mom had many tests today and Dad reports that she is feeling much better. They are both happy with the doctors and nurses caring for her and hope to finally get some answers to a few of her ongoing issues.
I'll give a more detailed report later today.

Yuma, AZ
Lori here doing blog duty for Mom. As she has mentioned several times, she has been having trouble with her legs and feet. Yesterday, Dad decided that she needed to be seen at the hospital, so off they went. Within 45 minutes of arriving, she was being treated. It was decided that she needed to be admitted for more tests. Dad reports this morning that she is already showing signs of improvement. Lots of tests are planned for today.
I'll keep you posted.

August 12, 2016---Yuma, Arizona
This morning I didn't feel like going to therapy, but I went anyway. They didn't work me too hard and I was in my wheel chair, so I didn't have to walk down a long hall to get to the workout room. Lori gave me a small wheelchair and it has certainly come in handy.
We had several places to go after PT, including In-N-Out for lunch and Sam's for gasoline. We got home in time for naps, which is what I really needed. We had planned to go to a place that serves trout, but I didn't feel like going. Bill called and placed our order and went and got it. It was OK, but not as good as I do, which doesn't happen anymore. That was back in the good old days!
I have had a problem with my feet, ankles, and legs so I spent the evening with my feet propped up. Getting old isn't much fun, but it beats the alternative.

Our errand list for today was long. And we didn't get started until after noon.
The first place we hunted for was the Habitat ReStore. We like to shop there in Loveland. The one we found in Yuma was much, much smaller and was mainly construction items. If you needed to patch your roof with curved tiles, we can tell you where to go for them!
Lunch was not too far away...Sonic. We don't go there often and now I remember why. In-N-Out doesn't need to worry about Sonic running them out of business.
We headed on down to the Medical part of town, in search of a new GP. The one we used and really liked has moved from Yuma. Rats! But as we use to say when we were kids..."That's the way the cookie crumbles!"
We spent a lot of time looking for the new office. It took about four gallons of gasoline and at least 14 u-turns before finding the place. We made an appointment for me and headed back across town.
By then, we were too tired to go to the grocery store, so we ate leftovers for supper. We didn't get home until 4:30. I napped until 6:30, so by then "drag outs" tasted really good.
There was suppose to be a meteor shower tonight, but it was too hot to sit out in the dark and look up at the sky. We haven't adjusted to this heat business yet!

August 10, 2016---Yuma, Arizona
This is going to be a busy day for us, so I decided to start my blog on my iPad and transfer it to my MAC tonight. If you hear screams coming from the direction of Arizona it is probably me trying to deal with technology. Thank goodness it's not necessary for me to make a living in this new age.
My therapy went well today. I was really tired when I finished. They don't cut me any slack. And whining does no good. I just have to endure the torture.
We went to Taco Bell for lunch. They are just a few blocks away. That made all the pain and agony worth it, I guess. I could barely walk into the place to eat.
We went to our realtor to tell her we won't be looking for houses for awhile. It was all getting to confusing for me. She had told us there will be more houses on the market in September and October.
After getting a hair cut appointment and going to the bottled water place, we went home to rest. I really, really needed a nap.

I'm still at thr computer tonight. I worked on the iPad today, but didn't get it all figured out. I'll try to get in touch with Lori tomorrow, for some iPad help.
It was windy today and not as warm as it has been...104°, I think. The wind was strong enough to rock the MH several times. We didn't have any rain, although some had been predicted.
Tomorrow, I go to the PT. I hope it begins to do some good soon. I felt lousy today and didn't do much. I talked to Bonnie today. She said Todd is very weak. The doctor said he wouldn't get any better and needed to be in a care facility. Bonnie is looking at places and has some big time decisions to make.

I called Lori tonight for help in searching for my lost blog. We weren't able to find any sign of it. She did remind me that at one time I would use my iPad to do my writing, it would automatically be saved, and I could email it to myself. I will try that tomorrow and see if I can figure it all out again.
I'll keep you posted!
