The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

How your day sometimes goes, when you're in your 70's. Mine started as expected; reporting to our local hospital at 0615, for a procedure under general anesthesia. Woke up, feeling not nauseous, or foggy brain, big plus.

Wife accompanied me as my designated driver. Nurses went to retrieve wife to meet me in recovery. Nurses return w/o wife, concern on their faces. They explain on the walk to my room, wife who uses a cane fell in the hallway on her hip. Said they'd take me the ER after I dressed.
We sat in ER waiting room an hour or more, waiting on results. She's admitted with broken hip.

Surgery tomorrow at 0800, full hip replacement.
Neither of us know my daughter's or granddaughter's phone number without our cells. Left mine at home intentionally, she left hers at home by mistake. Fun day, she rated her pain level at a 9.
p.s. I violated the no alcohol rule for 24-hours around hour 12. Merry Christmas, LOL


Best wishes to both of you, and to those who worry/care for you, too.
 
Made it to 0413. Today is Get The Truck ready for TDK's Road Trip. It's also Load Some Stuff To Go Out West day as well. There is always stuff to do if one will simply look. It certainly alleviates boredom. Meh. Meanwhile, there is coffee. Cats are fed and back to bed. Maybe not, but it is quiet in there. It was 60 yesterday morning. It's 31 now. Must be Almost Winter here.
 
They should be getting him up at least once a day. It might be hard for him depending on his ability to hold himself upright. 🥺
Yesterday he was in a wheelchair when I got there, but he was in it all day and his legs really hurt, so I got to see them use a Hoyer lift to get him from his chair to the bed. It was pretty amazing.

He has one at home too and his son is really going to have to help him out a lot.

🙏🙏🙏

Really glad you had a good visit!!! 🫂
Yes, it was a dicey drive back. I have heard of saint Christopher but never the others.
 
Two buddies in their late twenties were nursing beers at a pub when one said, “Man, you look wiped out.”

His friend groaned, “I am. My girlfriend wants it nonstop — three, four, sometimes six times a night. She wakes me up at all hours. I can’t keep up.”

An older gentleman at the end of the bar, well into his seventies, leaned over and said with a knowing smile, “Son, marry her. That’ll put a stop to all that nonsense.
