A Day in the Life...

5:00 a.m.--Got up and fixed lunch for M--he had to work in the office today

6:00 a.m.--Called Mr. M to make sure he was awake so he'd have time to get ready for a doctor's appointment

8:00 a.m.--Called Mr. M's primary care doctor's office to see if they could work him in

8:30 a.m.--Went to Mr. M's to take him to his doctor appointment

9:15 a.m.--Arrived at the Medical Office Building--let Mr. M out by the front door--went and parked in the parking garage

9:30 a.m.--Arrived at the orthopedist's office where they did another x-ray of Mr. M's arm. The orthopedist said again that he didn't see any break. Mr. M told him how his arm hurt still--the doctor manipulated the arm, said that the ligaments on the outside of the arm were ok, but that the inside ligaments were messed up. The decision was made to put the arm in a cast for 4-6 weeks to immobilize the ligaments and give them the opportunity to heal.

10:15 a.m.--Arrived at the primary care doctor's waiting room.

11:30 a.m.--Called back to the primary care doctor's exam room. An adjustment made to Mr. M's medication.

12:00 p.m.--Left the Medical Office building.

12:15 p.m.--Arrived at Cracker Barrel--had a good lunch.

1:15 p.m.--Went to Walmart--Mr. M was tired and stayed in the truck while I went in and did his shopping.

2:30 p.m.--Left for home. Stopped in town at the car repair shop he uses to speak to someone about a noisy tire.

3:30 p.m.--Arrived at Mr. M's. I unloaded and put away his groceries.

3:45 p.m.--I arrive home after stopping for the mail. I check e-mail, do some stuff on the computer, update my bird list, talk to T, take out my algebra homework and start it, etc.

5:00 p.m.--M arrives home from work. We decide on a "every man for himself" supper and eat.

6:00 p.m.--I head back to the homework, only to be side tracked by the computer--a check of e-mail and a "chat" with an old friend. Also, get a phone call from L.

7:30 p.m.--Return to the homework in earnest. Do a take-home quiz and problems from two sections in the chapter.

9:00 p.m.--Finally done with homework--re-pack backpack with books. Go see what's on the news. Tell T good-night.

9:30 p.m.--The weather report is over--head for bed.
