We spent today on the phone with our older son Chris as he is deciding to take a job on the road again.... That isn't an easy decision and he can't talk about what he will be doing with anyone, so that's about all I can say about that...
In the afternoon, I went out with the motor scooter and rode a big square around our house. First way out into the country to our South and then West to Kansas highway 7.. Then North up thru the old downtown of Olathe.. Then farther North up to 87th street, still out in the country...
Eventually I ended up at the Cosco Warehouse where I filled the tank on the bike with a little more than two gallons, and went into the store to look at all the neat stuff.... But being a true old person, I only purchased a card of acid reflux medicine from the pharmacy...
Back at home, Loyce and I talked thru my upcoming medicare application and where to make that application..... We dug thru the unopened mail and finally found the medicare card that was mailed here while we were off in Arizona....
And later tonight, I ended up over at our younger son's house while on the bike again.... It was dark when I returned here to our house.... A nice day on the scooter, but not much accomplished....

A DIFFICULT PHONE CALL FOR KELLY AND I TODAY

You got your medicine, you got to ride the bike, and you found your medicare card. Sounds to me like that is plenty enough to make a good day.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the wonderful world of what many Americans mistakenly call "socialism" - Medicare!
ReplyDeleteMedicare is what allows a majority of seniors to obtain medical care. If they ever take it away, I won't see a doctor unless it's an absolute emergency. It's similar to the dental situation - after I retired I was never able to afford regular care and delayed it for years until I couldn't wait any longer this past year.
