On Friday my sister in law took me for a grocery run to our new Farm Boy. I was focused on all the high end veggies and fruit. In my excitement for the good stuff I failed to take stock of the staples. So this morning I talked with Al about how he felt about being left alone for an hour while I walked to Loblaws about a 3 city block walk away. He felt confident about being able to be left alone. After a bathroom run I left him in his chair watching TV with B and with instructions not to answer the phone. We were expecting some calls for appointments and I was concerned the information would be confusing for Al. So me returning calls felt like the most reliable solution.

I left at 10 to 12 and briskly walked to Loblaws. I blazed through the isles like a house on fire. I got everything on my list and then some, I'm spontaneous like that. I stepped back through our apartment door in just under 65 minutes. Al was fine. I'm not sure what surprised me more, the fact I could power shop and walk to and fro in just 65 minutes or the fact that $98.00 worth of groceries fit in the back pack and one small hand held bag.

Al will start his in home physio tomorrow with the woman who worked with me 2 years post stroke. I am hopeful she will have the good results with Al that she had with me. Al is booked for his urodynamic tests this Thursday so hopefully his bladder issues will get sorted out.

Al is down for a nap now so I'm making butter tarts to have with tea.
