A COOL NIGHT PAID OFF

     My    "windows open" paid off. The cool night provided me with a restful night's sleep. This Thursday was good. The big news is Son Ben is hunkering down for the hurricane in Belmont, NC. Our weather here was excellent. Got a call from a nurse who will be coming tomorrow to complete arranging my new pill cady. Also received a call from Dr. Sanjay's office for a Tuesday appointment follow-up. Watched the Red Sox defeat the Orioles. The Allante' started very hard as it hasn't started in almost two weeks. Bought $20 worth of gas.

MY FIRST DAY BACK

 Today proved to be as normal as can be. Josh and Heidi called me early before the Visiting Nurse Lisa came to review all of my meds. It took over one hour. She will return on Friday. My pill cady has been replaced with a new one. Later I decided to drive to the bank to transfer some funds and get a tank full of gas. Everything went well. Later I decided to turn on the AC only to discover Josh had removed it for the winter along with the high-speed fan! I opened up several windows for circulation. Have you noticed the new paint job on the Blair  House? It thrills me to no end!

QUABAUG NURSING HOME

My stay at the Quabaug Nursing Home lasted two weeks.It was a complex bedridden stay with tests blood tests, blood pressure tests to physical therapy. I walked with a walker down the hallway to climbing five stairs. The food was best in the morning from French toast to crisp bacon.I enjoyed a glass of orange juice and milk.The nursing personnel was very accomodating in changing my sheets when I had an "accident." My pills were doled out somewhere around nine pm. I had visits from Chase, Heidi and Maddie, Sister Jan and Ray, Steve Magnante and calls from Bill( twice) and Donna.

A SATURDAY OF CLOTHING GIFTS

My dry cleaner gave me a variety of new clothing to include shirts, trousers amongst other goodies. I am grateful to receive them and will separate the old ones. Got my VA bill for $9.00. Nice. Had indigestion during the night.I had eaten at the Legion and this seemed to be the cause. Josh gave me a haircut. He and Chase went to Fenway for a concert by Hot Chillie Peppers? I enjoyed watching the Red Sox. Final score 17-4 Red Sox! Continue watching features on the new king and the former queen. Maybe tomorrow's New York Times will have more. Remember 9-11!

A HISTORIC FRIDAY

This Friday started off with reading The New York Times and the USA TODAY. It really took me two hours to discern what I wanted to keep and what I wanted to dispose.The photography goes back to when the Queen was born. Both newspapers are impressive with full page photographs in color and black and white. After going to Spencer to the cleaners I returned to watch live broadcasts from London. I watched some of the religious and other ceremonies. King Charles 111 has a colorful image. There will be so much available in the weeks and months to come. Had lunch at home and supper at the Legion. Spoke with Josh who advised me I can get a hircut tomorrow morning at 9:00! ROBERT LOUIS POTVIN
