Turned the Proverbial Corner

We have turned the corner. Rick is upright and walking.
We went outside on Saturday and had a wonderful day.

I pointed out to him that he missed all of the winter and like a bear, he is now out and about in spring. He paused, you could see his wheels turning and then he laughed like crazy. He said, "OMG you're right. I don't recall most of that time" No shit sherlock, I was the caregiver, I kind of know. You've been in that chair for 3 months!!

He has been sick since Dec 18th. He has not worked since then. He has been unable to walk much and then shingles on his foot didn't help the matter.  His shingles are still there and painful but not like it was in the beginning. He says it still hurts but it's tolerable.  YIPEE.

We went to lunch Saturday and ran a few errands.
We went to Target and got my shingles vaccine.
Fun time huh?  Jealous aren't you?
No way I am getting this, it looks horrific.
I was so excited to be out and about with him that going to Target & getting a shot was a good day for me. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic.

What made us laugh is that we had to wait 15 minutes for the vaccine to get to room temp because it is  refrigerated. The pharmacist asked if we would come back at 12:50p. Okay, we can do that. We shopped and then we realized it was now 1:15p.  Honestly, I think that was the ploy. Get them to spend $$ while here.
We ended up spending over $100 for a free vaccine shot. That made us laugh.

We went to lunch at our favorite Mexican place. I could live on their guacamole.
They make it at the table to the spice you like and a couple of margaritas and I am all set. So that is what we did. Munchies and 2 margaritas and a lot of laughter which is always good medicine.

Ah, even on a Monday life is good and we're on an upswing.
I'm baaack.
