I know you treasure your independence, but I would feel much better if you didn't go outside by yourself

I know you will probably be upset/angry with me for saying that, but I LOVE YOU and just want you to be SAFE

I appreciate that and do go out as little as possible. then I take a cab to all the doctors. I ask for a companion from Dorot when I go to one doctor where there is a long walk.
Richard was extremely polite and didn't use his smart phone except when timing me. He used his computer for my vitals and timing results. Then we discovered something awful when we started to do some balancing exercises.
He told me to put my feet together. I did but left a space. Then he said no. Put them together with no space. As soon as i tried that I immediately lost my balance. At least I know what not to do to not fall. I had to have space between my feet. I asked him if I would better and he said it would take a long time because it was neurological. I am not such a happy camper. I want chinese food but I am on a diet again.low carb,low calorie. I lost six pounds fast and just had five scrambled eggs. I have been dying for scrambled eggs.
abby seems to be better most definitely but I haven't caught her eating or drinking. she still doesn't want her treats.
love
bobby

I know you aren't wanting to use a walker. But I have a question.
Do you have a walker that has the seat that you can sit on if you get
tired. I am wanting to know because I am thinking about getting one.
And want to know how you do with it. If not I think you might
want to ask your doctor and Richard about one.

That is BS... you can absolutely get a walker with seat!!!
Sometimes insurance won't pay, but they may reimburse you for part of it, and they are not that expensive.
They tend to be narrower and you can hook on a tray or basket to carry things from room to room. They also have BRAKES on them, so when you set them, you are less likely to fall when you reach for it to get up from a seated position.
When I worked as a home health aide, many of my patients had them, were very happy with them, and they worked out very well for them.

Go on Walmart.com to take a look. I don't know your size, but make sure it is the right size for you before you order one, if you order one.

I'm really glad you didn't hurt yourself when you put your feet together like that. If you don't feel comfortable doing an exercise, say so.

I hope that Abby is sneak eating and drinking. How is her poop and pee?

I'm sorry you are craving Chinese food

I’m sorry that you have to take Abbie to the vet. I know those appointments are expensive. I hope they say she is okay and it gives you peace of mind
