They came to my house and swooped me up, and after Robert put me in the car, and my walker in the trunk, off we went in search of Brunch. I ordered an omelet with chicken, broccoli, onion and cheddar cheese in it. (Concentrated protein.) I asked for a fruit plate.

I forgot to tell them NOT to send hash browns, so they sent a pile of hash browns high enough to feed a family of four. I sent it right back, asked for some carry out containers, immediately packed up most of the omelet, and most of the fruit, and ate a reasonable, small portion of my breakfast. What came home with me will feed me for a week. People who are post Gastric Bypass surgery eat minuscule portions of food, and take lots of vitamin supplements. That's what I do, anyway.

I was fortunate to be having an excellent day, so going out was not a stress on me at all. I only had pain medication three times today. Missy Edith had brought me a gift, but it waited in the hotel room while she visited me, so it will go back to Arizona and be there when I visit in November/December. Yippie! Something to plan for and save up energy-spoons toward. If you don't get the reference to spoons, go to this link: It is a 2 page PDF that explains a lot about being disabled to the Temporarily Able-Bodied population.

We had a very nice visit, and I took some quite silly photos of them to lighten up their day. The cause of their visits to the Midwest is the ill health of one of Robert's parents. That they made time to visit me was a kindness on their part, and I appreciate it more than I can say! In the immortal words of Bob Hope: Thanks for the memories...
