Weekend Recovery

Today, Aug. 8, 2006, is our wedding anniversary. Sylvia and I were married 47 years ago today in Denton, Texas. I can only barely remember not being married. She is such a part of me now that I cannot begin to imagine what life would have been like without her.

It is good that there are no therapy sessions on Saturday or Sunday. That gives me a chance for some R&R and on Monday -- yesterday-- I felt rested enough to make a pilgrimage. Sylvia and I drove down to Cabela's super outdoors store south of Ann Arbor. I had purchased some rod holders for our pontoon boat on our last trip up here but the brackets were the wrong size so they had to be exchanged.

It was good I was rested. It really hard to get in and out of Cabela's in less than half a day. The place is huge -- full or fishing stuff you never know you need until you see it, and stuff you didn't know existed.

I got the exchange done. I bought Sylvia a sweater and a jacket. She picked them out, then hesitated until I insisted I wanted her to have them. I am happy that I am financially and physically able to buy stuff for her. We had a burger at the Longhorn steak house nearby, then bought gift candy at a candy outlet store. Factory second chocolates.

The Monday afternoon treatment was quick and smooth. But Monday night I began to develop a sore throat and the cough was back in force. Kept me awake a lot Monday night. I will see the doctor Tuesday afternoon and see what he recommends. The cough kept me awake a lot and disturbed Sylvia's sleep, too.
