Last Day
This is a copy of the email which I sent Janny after the 'Monday Evening Instant Message Session', and I got back to The Days Inn about 630pm, Monday, May 2nd:
When I met 'The Boys' at LA Fitness this morning, Abbie told me that he had set up a meeting between 2pm and 3pm over at Pineaire, and I would get an opportunity to meet, 'The Boss'.
Another wonderful person....The Community of Helping Angels is 'Aces' in my book. Lannie seems to be quite competent on the medical side, and she has the patience of a kindergarten teacher. We had another nice meal at the buffet (I feel like a regular), and Lannie came back to his house to show me the setup for his medications. He has several boxes, and the pills are in order by 'Day'/AM-PM. The blood thinner medication is dependent on his diet, so this is why he has to go in several times a month to be checked.
I think that you and I might get into the habit of checking in with Abbie on a weekly basis. He will try to notify us of areas in which we can accentuate during our chats. As you know, 'Our Father' is extremely territorial, and is very leery of surrendering his privacy. I was still not allowed into his bedroom (I can't remember ever being in that room), and I did want to see if I could get him to confront all of his 'new' clothes, and find out why he doesn't want to wear them. However, this was not going to happen without a toxic confrontation, so I let it ride. As Lannie so perceptively said, "You have to learn to pick your battles", and as long as Abbie is with him, he won't be picked up as a homeless person.
My only regret is that I neglected to take a picture of Abbie. The pair of them are really quite a striking couple. 'Our Father' is out in front, walking very stooped, and very slow, and following right behind is this very large African man usually texting and making sure that they are headed in the right direction.
Workout Details:
50" On Treadmill at about a 4.5 pace
40"Matrix
I had just got on a stationary recliner bike, and they arrived, so I went downstairs, and Abbie told me of the meeting with Lannie later in the afternoon.
30"Bike
30"Matrix
30"Bike
30"Old Style Cross
The Matrix is a cross trainer which has a much better range of motion, and I wish my fitness club would invest in some of these machines. Much easier on the knees!
20"In the Steam Room and Pool. No Whirlpool.
I left LA Fitness at 115pm, and took Union Hills, and got to Pineaire about 150pm. He was aware that Lannie was coming between 2pm and 3pm, yet he insisted on calling her at 230pm. She didn't answer, but called around 245pm. She got there about 3pm.
I can't wait to get back, and I hope that tomorrow is smooth sailing, and, Sunday sounds good, and we'll workout the details when I return......seeya kw
