My leg is getting better every day I can feel it less of an issue.
I was a drenched rat yesterday when I got caught in the rain so had a rain coat today. I put 92 miles on my car today and managed to stay out of the rain for the most part. Drove thru a down pour!

Had a great lunch at the greek place. Ate off the buffet but did not over do it and only had one plateful. But at $12 I don't think I ate my moneys worth. Had cardamon tea with honey and milk. did not taste any different but is supposed to be very healthy. grilled chicken pieces, tabouli, grapeleaves, hummus and 2fried eggplant halves. It was good.
There ended up just being 4 of us.

After lunch I went to see emily my 56 year old client who lives in an assisted living home, She had fallen and broke her shoulder a month ago. felt sorry for her. I have seen her for years and she has some sort of autism, mental deficiency but we connect and our visits are great.

I had a new client this afternoon,"miss priss" in her 70's I think.
She was a smoker, lung disease...wears oxygen when she is in the house...not smoking. She has hired help. Getting over pneumonia, has a terrible cough. She kept me waiting inside while she finished her cigarette....also has diabetes and was eating fried pork fat and offered some to me. It is called cracklins. I gracefully declined.
She told me she used to live in brazil and would get pedicures for 25 cents. That some times she would get 3 pedicures in one day. I told her she was spoiled! I gave her a good pedicure but really just wanted to leave, hope she doesn't call me back....am I a bad person for that....?
I am used to geriatric patients.
anyway.
I saw an Alzheimer pt after her. Sweet bell she lets me do her pedicures but doesn't want me to put lotion on her...which is the best part of a pedicure!
She is very frail, walks with a walker and help and has 24 hour around the clock sitters. I see her every 2 months.
For the most part I love my job. Thankful for the work and my ability to do the work.
Jeff cooked baked teryaki ginger salmon for dinner tonight with green beans and half an avocado. couple of strawberries and 2 hersheys dark chocolate kisses. Delicious!

Went to the gym and and walked on the tred mill for an hour and tried to do a weight machine...I am not ready for that yet.Did a pigeon stretch and even that was hard, tight to do. Tried to do a lunge and that was really hard to do. yesterday I tried to do a squat and could not do that. I am so out of shape.

Jeff just came home from having a few beers with a friend. Going to watch another x-files episode and go to bed.
