I am determined to get more exercise this year. Went down and bought tickets and put some aqua classes and a step class on my schedule. Immediately figured out I can't make all sessions. There are Dr. appointments, committee meetings and rehearsals to work around. I am going to do it though.
Got my lab reports back and my tryglycerides are too high and my sugar is creeping up. It is going to take fewer pounds and more exercise to fix it.
We are rehearsing now for the concert on the 26th at our local church. It is a fund raiser for the food pantry in our community. I think this is our 7th year. It is one of those feel good things but takes a lot of rehearsal time.
Went to see Cowboy on Sunday and he was doing OK. I can tell it is getting harder and harder for him to get around. I wasn't there for lunch. Was out of tickets and you can't get one on a weekend. We did walk around a bit inside and looked at the paper. He always looks at the funnies but nothing else. I think he is just looking at the pictures.
Had Bunco Monday night and it is always fun. It was a particularly enjoyable time. She had made these marvelous chocolate cookies and we had tea. I won for getting BUNCO! and got to see some friends.
Tuesday had a social committee meeting. The neighborhood is planning a pot luck at the end of the month, another in March and want to do the garage sale to raise money for the neighborhood. There will also be a crock pot cookoff, a 4th of July picnic, an Octoberfest and of course, our Christmas party. They want the band to play for the Octoberfest again this year. Will have to talk to the band.
Went to see Cowboy yesterday but first had to go get my teeth cleaned and go to the base to buy some things. Waited until the afternoon to go to the home because Cowboy had a dentist coming at 4:30 to check his teeth.
Found out in the past year he has developed 3 cavities and his peridontal disease is bad. They are recommending fillings of course, and also a deep cleaning. This is what happens when someone has bad teeth to start with and doesn't take care of them properly for a whole year. I talked to his evening aide afterwards and she said she would be sure things are being done.
Got a call this morning. Cowboy was in his chair this morning and apparently asleep. They didn't tell me who it was but someone came into his room and twisted his leg and foot. She assured me he was not hurt and he yelled out and they came and took the offender away. Her comment was "I think the other fellow got the worst of it". I don't know what that means but I suspect Cowboy defended himself vigorously. It is odd I wasn't given more information. Will have to discuss with staff
Met with the new Chair of the Emergency Management Committee this afternoon. We are meeting with the Community board next week to try to sell our ideas for helping our special needs residents. I expect it to go well.
