All work, no play

At 7:10 this morning, Mr. M called to see if I had called him at 7:00 to wake him up (I was going to call him at 7:30). I called his doctor's office at 8:00 to see if we could move his first appointment up a bit so we wouldn't be pushed to make each appointment (he had three scheduled today). I called Mr. M back a few minutes after 8:00 to remind him to take his medicine and let him know that the first appointment had been changed to 10:30.



At 9:15, I went to Mr. M's house to load his walker into the pickup--checked his morning medicine and found that he hadn't taken it yet, so had him take it--put his 2:00 medicine in my purse since we wouldn't be home by then--fed the cats--gave Pepper her medicine--left for the Dr. about 9:30.



Arrived at the Dr. about 10:15--let Mr. M out at the front door--unloaded his walker--parked in the parking garage--went inside and met Mr. M.--went to the third floor to the Dr.--finished the first appointment (including a trip to the lab for a blood draw) at about 11:30.



Next appointment was at 12:45--decided to eat in the hospital cafeteria since there wasn't time to drive to Cracker Barrel and back (and eat) before the next appointment.



Went back up to the third floor for the next appointment at about 12:30--finished that appointment by about 1:45.



Returned to the first floor--went past the cafeteria to our third appointment--got there a bit before 2:00 for a 2:30 appointment--gave Mr. M his 2:00 medicine--didn't have to wait long--left at 2:20.



From there we went to Wal-mart--Mr. M was tired so I went in and got a few groceries for each of us--left Wal-mart about 3:30. Arrived at Mr. M's about 4:15--carried in his groceries and put them away--collected his pill cups to refill--Mr. M said he wanted me to take him to the restaurant in town for supper.



Got home--called the pharmacy for refills--filled the pill cups--checked e-mail--said "hello" and "good-bye" to family (T was off to piano lesson and Pathfinders with his dad). I went back to Mr. M's--brought in his mail--put his pill cups on his desk--fed the cats--gave Pepper her medicine--took out the trash (all while waiting for him to change his clothes)--then took him to the restaurant.



I dropped him off after supper at about 6:50--went home and did Algebra homework (test on Thursday night--still much homework and studying to be done) until 8:00 when I called Mr. M to remind him to take his night time pills.
