Lois had a general check up at the doctor yesterday which went very well. The doctor had a student working at his office. Lois said to him “You are very young.” To which he just laughed. But she pushed it “How old are you?” When he said “25” both Lois and I looked at each other and laughed. We were pretty sure we have socks older than that. He was a good intern however, asking lots of good questions and making notes that looked like they could be read. Lois decided and told him that she thought “He would make a very good doctor.” The primary doctor went through her recent blood test results and reported that everything looked good. Her cholesterol was down and in a good zone and her blood pressure, thyroid, sugar levels were all good. He asked us about the meds, and we went through all of her medications. Our biggest complaint is that we can’t get refills all at the same time. So the Doctor rewrote all the scripts for the same date and said to try that. Lois was feeling great after the apt. so we went to visit the electric wheelchair store which was nearby the doctor’s office and near a restaurant we wanted to have dinner. Lois was able to try out a couple chairs. Which will be more like scooters as they will be easier to get in and out of the car and easier to operate around the house. They were closing the store so we will need to go back. They are going to set up a demo for her with the controls on the left to make it easier for her to operate and she will be able to take one home to try for a while. Still feeling great and with lots of papers and things to think about, we headed off to dinner. Lois decided to go to a place that we have not been since her stroke, Tsunami, a great sushi place. We ate and drank sake and laughed. We did not get home until after 8 PM. Lois had been up for 6 hours and was exhausted but we had a great time.
