Yesterday I turned the big 60, stepping into a new decade and looking to simplify life, plan for
retirement, and not to take stuff so seriously.
It was a great day, with calls from family, text messages, FB messages from friends and family too. My daughter took us out for dinner at Red Lobster, there was social distancing in place at the restaurant. Tables and booths were spaced accordingly. Dinner was delicious and was followed up by Raspberry Delight cake from Publix. It is a tasty cake BUT super-rich. A little bit goes a long way.
Earlier in the day, I went to my appointment to get the results of my shoulder MRI. The doc said a lot, but basically, my shoulder does not need surgery at this time. He said the muscles need to be built up to strengthen the shoulder and this would reduce pain. He also gave me a Cortisone shot in the shoulder (OUCH) and ordered physical therapy.
The physical therapy office is next door to his office, so I went over there and set up my first appointment for next Wednesday. I am willing to give it a go to avoid surgery. After a month of therapy, I go back to the Ortho Doc and then we decide if I had enough therapy, or I need more therapy, with the last resort is an arthroscopic surgery called a decompression. I will have to look that up.
Today I went to Aldi and picked up a few things, mostly produce and butter. They were super busy!
They were only allowing a certain amount of people in at a time. Here is a pic of those shoppers waiting for their turn to go inside.
When we go to Publix, this is not the case. As of yet, they allow however many shoppers in the store.
What are your plans for the Fourth? We are staying home, my daughter loves to spend money on Fireworks and no doubt this year will not be any different.
It will probably pretty much be just us, maybe our oldest son will join us, but if not that's cool.
It will be HOT and HUMID which is no surprise. At least we can take refuge in the pool. But even some days it is too hot to go swimming.
Next week, bills will be paid, money will be shuffled around to make payments on CC that were used for the hubs medical bills, my MRI test bill, and now my upcoming physical therapy. I just don't have the energy to do that today. In fact, a nap sounds like a good idea right about now. :-)
Have a Happy Fourth!
