Long day

usually we go to heart clinic on Monday mornings......   this week, Tori moved us to Wed at 2....  so that messed up our naptime.... and our lunchdate......

Actually it worked out just fine... i had a dentist appointment this morning.....  all Larrys fault, I had been procrastinating......   gonna lose 3 more bottom molars.., made a consult appointment with the other dentist....  blah..... etc.....  mine are not emergency.....

Then came home, lunch, then to heart clinic.....  today was lots of bloodwork, chest xray, dr visit, then echcardiogram.....   Dr Ransom did ramp his pump up some.   Larry is still having some breathing issues, but Dr Ransom said he saw absolutely no signs of heart failure....  GREAT...
its so hard to expkain, but when we go to clinic, it is like going to visit family.....
*when we got to lab, the lady stuck her head out to call Larry and said "hey, where have you been"
*got to xray, and of course the receptionist knows us...
*at the clinic desk, visiting with the fill in receptionist who also works xray desk
Oh yea.....  this is when Dr Ransom walked by, stopped for a minute, as he does...
*kim, who does vitals, had taken her a purple sparkly notebook, cause she loves purple sparkly.
*Tori, our nurse, has teased Larry a few months ago saying he had chicken legs...   he does not, but
         They were not swollen, so to her they were.....   even her texts to him she put a 🍗or🐓In her
         emoticons.....  so he ordered a pair of chicken leg socks to wear for her.......  she lived them so
         much, that she got on ebay and ordered her a pair..  of course Jimmy and Opal had to see too.
*as larry was getting his echcardiogram, Tori, Jimmy and I were chatting....
Dr Ransom did ramp his rpm's up slightly.....
thought we were done, Tori said to let ys know on Friday how he was doing, got instructions for next weeks surgery....  the night of his surgery, he will spend in the CVICU.... which was a huge relief to me......
*as we walked out, big Josh, the CVICU manager was coming out of a meeting and came over and hugged me.....
Finally was walking out of the clinic, when heard a yell to us... it was Dr Ransom, running after us to get a photo of Larrys chicken leg socks, followed by Christina, LVAD coordinator, Josh, his PA, Jimmy, and Tori.....   had him take his shoes back off to get a better photo.....  we laughed for an hour....  then we went to eat...   crunchy chewy food before we begun the new tooth diets...

Grocery store aisles should either have lanes drawn on them or make them one way.....  i HATE to go to the grocery, but I hate even more going on senior discount day......

Ok, today Larry felt like getting out, and wanted to go pick ome foods he might like for his next stage, toothless.....  i could gave done it, but he wanted to go.....

Ok, just getting in was a chore, one woman almost wiped us out 3x as she was so involved in her phone conversation....

Ok made it inside, me dodging Larry, but guarding him too....   lol, remember I am quite clumsy myself.......

Got down the first aisle, turned right, was waiting right where we should have been, actually at a dead stop, when an older man who was driving one of the motorized carts.... proceeded to run head first into Larrys cart....  knocking him backwards, and almost making him fall......   i was yelling because I was of cours worried about the bag....   his lifeline....

Then dodging the store pickup shoppers with the giant carts, and the stock the shelf personnel.....

The whole trip was this bad....  stressful......  

If you had one way aisles, maybe this would be better.......

But I still love living in a larger city with actual real choices.......   still fascinates me...
