Took a short nap after breakfast with Keith. I then decided to take fitness seriously and went downstairs to join the "Strength and Balance with Jackie" class.. This emphasizes stretching and is pretty intense; it meets three times a week and I want to attend regularly.
After the session, I went back to get ready for lunch. Back down, I saw Mary, we waved and chatted for a bit and she sat with me. Keith came shortly and we had a good lunch together. Now what this is going to do to my relationship with Kathie, I don't know. Kathie believes Mary "doesn't like us," meaning Kathie and me, but that doesn't seem to be so. It will be further complicated when Cheryl comes back from Mexico, I'm afraid. She and Mary seem to be close friends, but if so, where does that leave Kathie? Oh, the hell with it--I'm new enough that I don't want to take sides, so am just hoping to stay out of it.
The shower mat I ordered came, but damn, I didn't realize the flooring had to be smooth--my shower has a kind of rough finish, plus I have no-stick strips on it. Okay, I can send it back and when Ellen got here, she re-packaged it and will return it via Kohl's.
El first took me to the dermatologist's office and Dr. Sui zapped my face lesions several times. This is the second time she did, as the last time seemed not to work. I have another appointment in June and let's hope they'll be gone. When we got back, El stayed for a bit and give me some advice about the shower fittings. She'll look for new bath rugs, too.
Had dinner with Keith and Kathie, then Diane, my next-door neighbor, joined us, and we had some good conversation. Kathie left, then K., D., and I talked religion; we're all pretty much on the same page, K. a recovering Pentecostal, I a ditto RC, and D. a vaguely lapsed protestant.
Back upstairs at close to 7:00 and damn, today, I have Jay, the P.T., coming at 11:00, and an R.N., nurse Wang, here between 1:00 and 1:30, then Natalie, at Primary Medical tomorrow afternoon. I'm also scheduled for and echogram later--When am I ever going to escape from the world of medicine!?!
For that matter, when am ever going to get a good night's sleep? The heat lamp in the bathroom was on all night, plus I'm on the new sleep aid regime and that kept me up. I'll try to nap after breakfast.
