Tuesday, June 12,2012 The Day Away

Although I try to prepare Mac by mentioning casually that i will be going in to town the next day...it is always news to him on the morning, as it was this morning.  Why can't I go too, why if you go do i need someone here, I can manage perfectly on my own and so on. and on.  I always agree that it's no fun to have to have someone come in, but add we're lucky that our person from the A. assoc.that  is so nice ...she was a friend before she had this job and certainly she tries her best.  Mac always says fine she is nice, but I don't need her, don't want her and I will certainly go out for a walk.  BUT, he never does, thankfully, when Helen comes he is on his best behaviour..although she tells me that he has some really fine words about ME, when i leave and also about where and why i should go.  One funny thing is that I did go to a study group called Prayer Fellowship at the church during winter...he called it prayer fellowshit...not exactly the right pronunciation, but hey if saying it like that helps - well why not.

Tomorrow he will get his ears checked as he has something new in his life - a hearing aid - it has to be checked, which is good as perhaps i didn't put it in right today.  He lost it and lucky Helen found it - it is pretty small, so happy she was able to see it  on the floor in the basement...who knows why they were there.

I should remember that when i explained why he should have helen  i reminded him that he fell yesterday, when he was down petting the cat...he was able to use his skills from skiing days - turned on his side - got on his knees, reached for the chair and was able to get up...Wow don't know what i would have done if i had to lift him.  I didn't see the fall - although it was right behind me, but don't know how it happened.

Anyway, i had my day away, and as it keeps me awake at night the night before worrying about going, sometimes i wonder if it's worth it...but t'was fun in town with my friend Elaine, bought a new dress and saw a very neat movie starring judi Dench.  Now to join Mac and watch the news with Peter mansbridge  mac's fav. show.  no memories today or if there were was too worried to remember ha.
