Bruised Toe, Medical, Assistance,

Just to add to my miseries, I stubbed my middle toe quite badly. In the bowling alley, when it's raining or snowing, you have to be sure to remove your wet shoes before you come into the alley proper. Dangerous to have wetness on the alleys themselves. So there was I walking around shoeless and walked into my cane, it really hurt. Not sure if my toe is just bruised or broken. I can't wear shoes at the moment, they were agony on the way home yesterday. It even hurt getting into bed last night and the toe was throbbing quite a bit.  Walking is painful too. Luckily I don't have to go anywhere for a day or two.

Didn't realise that Matt has an appointment at St. Mary's hospital on Tuesday and I have one on Thursday. I tried to get them on the same day but couldn't do so. How annoying. Mine is for noon too, when do they think you eat lunch? My friend suggested I get rides so we don't have to do any walking. Even more important now, with my toe. It is a longish walk, for us anyway, from the parking lot into the hospital lobby.

I had a visit from Community Access Services (think that's right) turned out it was a girl I knew well as she had run the exercise classes for a while. Anyway, we have arranged for me to get assistance with collecting the groceries as well as rides to the hospital or any other medical appointment. It will cost me 54 cents a kilometer, i.e. $4 to collect the groceries and about $7 to go to St. Mary's. I have to go to Grand River Hospital some time too, think that's a bit further. However, the driver can drop us off right by the door which will save a lot of trouble and discomfort for both of us. As for the, shopping we have a huge shopping trolley down stairs, but by the time I have pushed it upstairs my legs are killing me once more. Think I mentioned that before.

This evening (Thursday) the computer guy comes, not sure how long it will take him to fix it. Fingers crossed it won't be long, I have so much stuff to enter. I need to get things organised better and get this laptop fixed so that the important stuff is up to date on both machines. Talking of organisation, I had to prove our financial status. Found my tax stuff all disorganised. Guess that was when they had to prove Matt's income for Meals on Wheels. Need to sort it all out. I still don't have a lot of energy for such things unfortunately.

Computer is fixed - something pretty simple actually which I could have done for myself had I known.

Have a great day
