Hi Melody,
Wow! Busy schedule with appointments!
I've had extra appointments lately, too. I get tired of attending appointments, especially when doing so doesn't seem to offer new options. My specialists still want me to check in and I understand their viewpoint. Yet, doesn't make me like it.
I have to remind myself to schedule some fun activities. I have made a concerted effort this year, by obtaining tickets ahead of time and scheduling months ahead. Sometimes I cannot attend; yet Hubby goes and takes a buddy, a brother, a nephew, a niece. He has fun anyway.

He does a lot with me and for me. I want him to have fun, whether or not I can attend.
Many times, I can go and we have fun together.
I don't recall if Alan is able to get out to socialize.
I hope he can if he wants to do so.
Sometimes, it's fun to get out without our spouses!

I do that, too, at least once a week, sometimes more.
It must be nice to be able to go down the block to socialize with friends like you do!

Very convenient! Very healthy to join with friends on a regular basis! Congrats to you for doing so!
I will be thinking of you and Alan, hoping all goes smoothly.
Take excellent care, Melody!

Enjoy life!
Warmly,
DejaVu
