Oct. 5-14
From a cooler and somewhat gloomy MO,
Last week we went to Liberty on Monday so Jim could see his orthopedic doctor for a one year check-up on his hip - and to also inquire about his left knee. The end result was that he had a MRI in Chillicothe on Thursday morning for his knee with a follow-up visit with the doctor (at our local clinic) on Monday (13th). Jim decided finally to show a doctor his mangled little pinkie on his left hand and doctor immediately asked how long ago it happened - shook his head - sent him for an x-ray to rule out a broken finger - wasn't - and thinks probably Jim did damage to a tendon in his finger. The end result of this is that on Thursday (16th) of this week we make a trip to the out-patient clinic at Liberty to have some exploration surgery done on his finger, checking to see if the tendons can be sewn back together, etc. - - PROCRASTINATION! PROCRASTINATION!
We began a weight loss program through our local county health unit this past Wednesday. There are no stringent rules, but we will check in weekly for weight and every other week for a class. There were probably 15 people in the group - some with diabetes and others needing weight guidance. The official program is to last 10 weeks - so we are hoping for a pound off a week at this point - anything will help. We should do okay until we arrive in Austin for Thanksgiving. We started walking last Thursday. I have managed a mile per day and Jim began with half a mile and is now doing one mile with me.
Our homecoming game last Friday was rather one-sided. The team played well and impressed the football team of 1978 that was being recognized. I think 19 members had been able to come back for the introductions as well as the gathering afterwards at the Country Club. I understand that someone even dug out old reels of the games that year and some of these were also watched.
Our game this week is again at home, the one next week is only about 45 miles away, and the last regular season game is at home -- all quite well with me.
Be safe.
