Today I went to meet my new Gerontologist/Internist. He is oriental, quite young, quite knowledgeable, and specializes in gerontology.
My tests to date show that I am in good health. The doctor is working on a potential adjustment to one of my medications that may make my heart beat a bit faster/stronger - right now it is fine, but slow. He also said that the wheelchair is just fine for now and that it keeps me from falling statistically more than a walker. But I do keep working on my walking. He agreed on keeping my physical therapy going three times per week on an outpatient basis.
Yesterday I went for a ride (Aegis has a small bus that they load us on) and saw the tulip fields, then had lunch with my fellow residents at a great restaurant up in that area. I was tired when I returned but it was a great outing.
Saturday we have a Mother's Day tea that I will attend with one of my sons. Today we make cards for Mother's Day to share with other mothers in the community. That plus getting my hair done today will fill my afternoon!
