I HATE COMPUTERS!!!

Since I have been here in Florida, I have spent a majority of my time trying to diagnose computer problems. I'm about to give up and take it in somewhere. I know dial up is slow, but this is ridiculous! Hopefully Grandma will be able to get high-speed internet soon.

This morning we went into Sebring to take Grandpa to have lunch with his buddy Frank. When we got there, I helped him go in and was surprised to see that Frank's wife Brenda and another couple Randy & Flo were also there. We were all happy to see each other. Grandma and I didn't know they were all going to be there and had made other plans.

Of course one of our first stops was at my favorite store Beall's Outlet. Found a couple really cute t-shirts and summer tops. I was also lucky enought to get a bonus 20% off card from Grandma. On the way home, of course we had to stop and get lunch at the dairy queen. We got our favoirte coffee flavored milkshake for the ride home.

Grandpa seems to be doing Ok but is very easily tired out and has very little energy. He took his blood pressure today and it was 87/52. Grandma & I tried to impress on him that this is the reason we feel he should not drive anymore. Not because he is a bad driver, but because with his blood pressure being so low, he could possibley black out or faint at any time. I think he understands a little better. He also forgot that he told me about a month ago, that he had polished up his keys and hung them up for good. When I reminded him of that, he didn't remember. We have to go back to West Palm to see his Dr's next Wednesday. It will be a long day because we have to be there at 7:30 and it takes about 2 hrs to get there. I'm certain he will need blood, which takes about 4 hours, and then he has another appointment for some testing with his neurologist. Tomorrow he needs to see the Dentist for a broken tooth. He hasn't been able to eat anything hard until he gets it fixed. He hasn't been complaining, but I think it is hurting him. The rest of this week is open with nothing planned. (except maybe bingo at the clubhouse on Sat) Soon, Grandma wants to have a yard sale. I told her maybe we will see if there is anyone else in the park that wants to have one and we will advertise it in the paper. That way we might get more people other than the ones in the park.

Hope everyone is doing good. I'll post again in the next day or so.

Nighty Night!!
