I tried to call my primary care physician, but only got as far as his answering machine. I tried to call my gynecologist, too, but got the after-hours message when I was ready to leave a message, so I didn't even leave a message. I'll have to try both tomorrow. {small smile}
I got a phone call from our former nurse. we had a nice chat but ran out of things to say in time for me to do my full salsa dancing after that, which worked out perfectly. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Her eyes opened when I got there. She didn't speak, but she looked a lot. I read scripture and thoughts about it first. I read more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020 next. Then I continued with the next several pages of _Exploring Kittens_ by Nobuo Honda. She was sure looking at the cute kittens. Since there are no words, I described each picture a bit. After that, I read a story and several poems from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_, I sang two poems I knew tunes to, and realized I didn't remember a third tune as well as I hoped. I finished with the 26th of November's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Old Photographs." Anna and her younger sister, Karen, complained that it was raining. That ruined plans to take their dog, Beano, for a walk. Mummy pointed out that Beano didn't mind. He was sleeping in front of the fire. Mummy brought out a thick photo album. She said it was nearly 100 years old. There were pictures of ladies in long dresses and funny hats in a park the girls considered theirs. Mummy said it was the ladies' park then. One lady had a big lump at the back of her dress. It was their great-great-grandmother. She was wearing a bustle, which was elegant back then. Mummy said their clothes would look quaint in 100 years. Anna hadn't thought of that. {Smile}
After teaming, I did my walking exercises. Doing them normally left my arm and shoulder feeling normal, so next I did my leg exercises, which I'd been avoiding because I brace myself with both arms. I detected no trouble there, either. Then I started my salsa dancing warmup to have it interrupted by our former nurse's phone call. After that, I did a full warmup set of salsa dancing. Then after a distinctly shorter break than usual, I did one song of the less structured set. I took a pretty short break before doing the second, so I got the normal amount of salsa dancing done, with just a smidgeon more from the false start due to the phone call. {Smile}
I read comics, articles, and a little of one of the web novels in the morning and over lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming in time to join the early long, large-group event, which Pierogies had already joined, and was waiting to start up. After that, Pierogies and I teamed up, and started running missions. We ran quite a few together, working on clearing some of one character's missions which I do want to do before she starts the home stretch to the end game. Paradox joined us for the last couple before we broke so I could read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I joined the late-night short, large-group event. Then I began writing this up. I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming when a comment got Paradox interested in joining me there. We teamed up, and I said hi to Ulty and the friend I teamed with recently. Ulty was busy roleplaying with a friend, but the other friend joined us around the end of the first mission Paradox and I did. I also chatted with Haiden, Nox and Radio through much of the evening. We did several more missions together before Paradox left for the evening, and the other friend for what he thought would be a short break. I worked on paperwork while he was gone. However, when he came back, he realized he was needed elsewhere before we got going. After that, more paperwork before I started my exercises. I said goodnight to Haiden first, then Nox, and lastly Radio. I read articles, did some paperwork and badge hunting and wrote this up and posted it after Radio left. {Smile}
