Friends, what would I do without them. When they are in town they are so willing to help in anyway they can. One of my good friends ,Cathy, came up today to go to the grocery store with me and carry in the bags of groceries. Yes, my back still hurts. She really was a help.
The doctor said be prepared for at least six weeks, which is what I've heard from everyone that has ever had the same thing happen to them. Terrific....I have way to much to do to put up with this, but I have been. I've actually been home for days, talk about getting stir crazy.
Tomorrow I have a lunch scheduled for my male friend's eightieth birthday. He called me yesterday to confirm. He is driving way out of his territory and I'm surprised, as is his daughter that he is doing that. We always have a great conversation, albeit not often, as we don't see each very much. Maybe a one or two times a year thing. There has never been anything between us but friendship, but we get each other. He actually gave me my first black kitten that live for twenty two years. Her name was Melissa.
Tuesday night is a meeting with the Vets and Wednesday a lunch with the District man that is in charge of the Veterans programs. This is purely social. He called me last night, a little strange, to report that he had just gotten home from a weekend in San Diego. When he asked what I did all weekend and I told him nothing but lay flat on my back due to my injury he didn't seem to believe me. He thought I had a lot of dates. Most people think that. Truth be told, I'm home more then not, unless I'm by myself out there. Men are usually afraid to ask me out from the general public. Online is different, they are looking for someone. Maybe they think I'll reject them. I probably would, so their thinking isn't far off.
One of my other good friends told me to drink gin. Her mother, who was English, swore that the juniper berries in gin cured any hurt one might have. I think I'll go have a gin on the rocks and see if she was right.
Tally Ho!
