FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

On Monday my cold had gotten  worse and I was happy that my son had done the shopping and I didn't need anything. So I spent my day with blogging, TV and taking my pills against the cold. Sometimes I fell asleep and the day went by.  

With a cold I didn't sleep very well, and nothing happened the next day I didn't dare to visit Nicole as she was  in hospital. When she fell out of her bed she had broken 3 rips and had to stay there for a while. Fortunately she came back to her retirement home after 4 days. I called her but it was difficult to talk with her all the medication had knocked her out. 

In the middle of the week I felt a bit better and when I talked to L who is now widow since two weeks, I invited her for lunch.  She came and I stated that each person has another way to grief. She was in the middle of the paper work and went too quick. She wanted to do everything in one day and started with selling her car. What I did at the end she did at the beginning of his passing away. She also talked about her grandfather and people dead since a long time. I listened, I had a few question but I didn't ask she seemed to me like a wheel that turns too quick.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outside despite the still too cold weather, the trees had started to bloom or were in full bloom ! 

My doctor had sent me to a medical center to do a scanner of the end of my spine, because I sometimes had the impression of walking like a drunk. I had no back pain but occasionally a pain in my knee. It's true that I have trouble breathing, but the fact that my lungs were in my knees made me think I must have been asleep at school when they were explaining the human body. Don't be surprised if your headache comes from your little toe.

The doctor explained me what I had, but I didn't understand a thing. He told me to go back to my doctor who would tell me what I have to do. Ever since I walk like a model and besides the daily feeling of being exhausted I had nothing..

I found the waiting room so cute, I was the only one who had to wait for the results. 

 

After that I bought my frozen food plates for one month (guests included) Dominique comes on Saturday to stay with me over the weekend. 

 

 

At home I found pictures in Whatsapp, my son and family had adopted a puppy a little girl, which will have the size of a Golden Retriever. She looks very cute but I wonder how she will move around the four floor house with a lot of steps ? In Amsterdam as there is not enough space for houses, the rooms are one on the top of the other which makes house narrow and high. 

 

I will see, she will probably be the most spoiled dog in the world even if they have to install an elevator for her. For that I have no worries ! Fortunately the kitchen is on the same level as the street for emergencies, and there is a lot of space to walk around at or near the sea. 

 

Nicole's daughter had told me that she is in the retirement home again after 5 days in hospital. I went to see her, and now that she is not in pain anymore (she gets a lot of pills) she was in a good mood and we could almost chat like in old times. Now she is for a few days in the care section of the home, until she is able to get out of the bed and walk with the help of a rollator. I hope that it will be soon, she wants to go back in her room. 

 

 

 

One who doesn't care about anything is little Rosie as long as she can sleep with her head on her tail.
