Doctor, Doctor, give us the news

Monday was doctor day. We got up and exercised for the first time since we arrived. I walked around both parks and returned the brush, broom and brass hose nozzle to Tom Crouch. Evelyn went to walk on the treadmill. This was the day for the park meeting, but we couldn’t attend because Evelyn had an appointment to get her medicine adjusted. She is still working on reducing the blood pressure. He couldn’t do anything until she had some blood drawn. She will do that tomorrow. She also had her ears cleaned. We rode our bicycles to the doctor’s office and back. We didn’t get back until around lunchtime. Evelyn did hang some wreaths that I had brought from the storage shed while I took some items to the recycling center, and then we had salads for lunch. We then rode bicycles to the retinal specialist only to learn that our Dr. Arrango has moved to Alabama to be closer to his parents. We saw another doctor who offered the shot in the eye option. We both decided that it still was not an appealing option. Evelyn did get her eyes checked for a new prescription and then got some prices on new lenses. On the way back we went to the oncologist to change Wednesday’s appointment so we could ride with the bike club to Terra Santa for a hamburger lunch. We now go at 8:45 Friday. We then stopped at the hospital to set up a time for us to volunteer. We can’t work at the admission desk because all the times are full. In order to work the same shift we might have to work in the gift shop from 5 to 8:30 on Mondays. We will receive a call later. We went to the office where I bought an entertainment book that has a 2 for 1 coupon at Terra Santa. We will use it tomorrow! The ride was supposed to be Wednesday but had been changed. That was somewhat disappointing but the worst thing is that the entertainment book has no coupon for the Remington Steak House. That was our favorite coupon. Bummer! We came back home and began cleaning the storage shed. I was surprised at how much I was able to move, making more room. I am also discarding many items that I will never use. After an hour Evelyn came in and made LEFTOVER chili and tortilla soup for dinner.
