Daily Update, July 15, 2022

    Over breakfast, I texted the secretary at Helping Hands Healthcare, the nursing company we use, and told her how I've been keeping up my exercise. However, my health insurance has decided I've had enough physical therapy for now, so it's ending first Wednesday of next month. I told her how my physical therapist wants me to get into a dance class or club. She said she'd look into it.

   I contacted Uber, and a friendly driver took me to Life Care Center for physical therapy. On the way, I got a call from the secretary at Helping Hands Healthcare. the place she'd hoped had dance classes didn't, but she found two other places that did. {Smile}

   Physical therapy went well. My therapist had talked to his patient who did line dancing, and she really didn't know anything to help, but he'd gotten a list of line dance classes on this island. Not all are close enough, but there were a few that didn't seem completely impossible. 

   I contacted Uber, and another driver took me home. We chatted a bit on the way, which was nice. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I started with scripture and thoughts about it, then continued with the last bit of her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I showed her the last several pages of _The Flower Garden_. Again, I said a little about each picture, since it has no words. Then I read "The Musicians of Bremen," from _Five-Minute Fairy Tales_. I finished my reading with "The Lost Appetite," the July 15th story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. It told about Patrick, who could barely eat half his favorite meal after getting sick with measles. His parents sent him to the country, to visit his aunt, uncle, and cousins. They came back a week later, when he'd been going around the farm, checking on the animals and being in the fresh air, to find he'd found his appetite again, and was eating as much as his cousins{Smile}

   No exercise yesterday beyond physical therapy. {Smile}

   I finished yesterday's daily update and read shorter comics over lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Perogies, and we teamed up. We did the last mission in the little one's arc that we'd mostly done yesterday. While doing that, I chatted with bowlofdro. Perogies and I got ready to do the long mission in the other arc, but he had to leave. I chatted some more with bowlofdro, but an attempt to get together aborted.  Then I chatted with Ultry, my new role-playing partner, and we teamed up until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I read some more comics, and chatted with Ultry, on the chat server. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and did a little paperwork while still catting with Ultry. We switched to chatting in the game. We teamed up some more, but she left early because it was a long day. I soloed, and chatted with soothing Darkness, but they left instead of getting together. I soloed some more, then joined a TF that turned out to be led by Laine. After the task force, I joined Laine in one more mission, enjoying teaming with her before leaving to make notes and go to bed. {Smile}
