We went separate ways today. Jim had to go to the hospital for labs and to meet with Shani. I didn't expect anything new to come up so I stayed behind and walked to Whole Foods instead. When his appointment was over Jim walked backed to the Hope Lodge. It is almost three miles and the weather was nice. Sometimes it is quicker to walk back than to wait around for the next shuttle. We hung out in the kitchen and had something to eat. I started to make brownies forgetting Jim had another appointment in the early afternoon. I had planned on going with him that time but had to forgo it since I had the brownies in the oven. Once again Jim decided to walk back from the appointment. He called me when he left and I walked half way to meet him. We have found a different route back that doesn't involve going through the middle of Times Square. It is a little out of the way but less crowded.
Tonight Lloyd arranged a dinner and invited the caregivers along with their spouses. One woman was there with her mom as the caregiver. There were 12 of us in all. Everyone contributed food and we reserved the kitchen on the 6th floor to entertain in. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately Lloyd's husband, Steve, has been having a rough go of things and he was in clinic and didn't get back until 8:45. We had to be out of the kitchen by 9:00. Hopefully we will do it again.
Happy Weekend!
The amount of walking that Jimmy does is incredible!! Just last week I read that researchers are concluding more and more that exercise is so important in recovery. Sounds like big doings at the Hope Lodge! Deb
