One woman broke her shoulder on a cruise May 1 but could not get into a clinic until yesterday. I guess you can't do much for a broken shoulder anyway except a sling.
Anyway, Ted sat patiently for 2 hours then said goodbye to his staples. He saw the doc for about 60 seconds - the guy took a look, said it looks good, don't drive for 8 weeks, or fly for 3 months, and listen to the physio on when to ditch the crutches, get on a cane, etc. I guess he's a good carpenter with the saw and all, but charm school he missed. Ted has to see him at the 6 weeks point, another sit in his waiting room no doubt. I guess I'll be chauffering for a while yet.
Ted does bear it all very amicably (mostly) and is doing his exercises faithfully. Serious physio starts Friday. After his hospital trip, we walked to the end of our road and back in the sun. A first for us.
Wednesday night was a red letter evening. Ted finally got clothes on after 2 weeks in his jogging outfit!
The occasion was the German Wine Society's last restaurant dinner. We are winding up our club which I've been a member of for about 20 years. I got involved through our German friends Ushi and Dieter Cosandier, so it was fitting that they came to pick us up and take us to the dinner in their SUV, bigger and easier for bionic man to get in and out. Also I could drink with impunity. Sadly, Ted is still on a few painkillers so for the first time ever, he was a non-drinker at the event. He had picked out some lovely wines for us to enjoy with the 6 course dinner at Cravings, who will cater our windup event at our home one afternoon in July.
