Monday, 1/5/25, went to VA in Ann Arbor for Bills MRI appt, went to 5 Guys,

Bill driving us to Ann Arbor

This was a beautiful drive on our way after his appointment to 5 Guys for lunch

 I got up early and took my shower, the did my hair.  I made coffee and then had a bowl of Kenzie’s soup for breakfast.  We both read our Bibles.  I made Bill a cup of coffee before I started.  He started reading a while before me.  We left at 11 to go to his VA appt. in Ann Arbor.  It was kind of messy with cars splashing us on the way there in the beginning of our trip.  Then the roads dried up for the rest of the trip.  We took my car which was good for it.

It didn’t take long for Bill to have the MRI.  Probably 20 minutes total.  We walked to the Patriot Store in the hospital afterwards.  We didn’t buy anything, but it’s always fun looking.

When we left, Bill asked me if I wanted to eat at Chic-fil-A or Five Guys.  I picked Five Guys, so he had me put it in my phone to see where the closest one was.  It was a nice ride there.  We each got a burger and split a fry because it’s a big amount.  We had a pop too.  It was so good.  Their hamburgers are my favorite other than smash burgers at Miles Market.  I forgot to take a picture of us.  

On the way home, I took a short nap.  When I woke up, I asked Bill if he wanted to share a dessert.  He asked what and I told him a Snickers candy bar.  We split one.

I talked to Vikki on our way home for a while.  The kids had dentist appointments today.  It only took 20 minutes Vikki said.  Peyton brushes her teeth twice a day faithfully.  She always gets compliments on how easy her teeth are to clean and how wonderful they look.  Isaac told the girl that did him that he hadn’t brushed his teeth for 2 weeks since he’s been on Christmas break.  The girl said she wanted to trade for Peyton lol.  

We got home and Bill wanted to snow blow the driveway before it got dark.  I tried sitting in the car on the driver’s side to see if I could drive.  Bill wanted me to back up the car a couple of feet because he parked up too far.  I tried moving my foot from the gas pedal to the brake and it was super easy.  I moved the car.  Yay!  I will be able to drive now.  I will start with going to prayer at church tomorrow night because that’s nice and close.

I have two appointments tomorrow, one with my skin doctor and the other for therapy.  Bill is taking me to both.  

I did my therapy when I got home and it sure makes my leg feel super good afterwards.  We did lots of walking today.  1.46 miles for me.  My leg was bothering me a little because of doing all the walking I did when I shopped with Kenzie and Peyton.  It didn’t bother me at all after I did my therapy exercises.  

Bill told me today that he like the chocolate covered strawberries I made to have at Vikki’s for New Year’s Eve.  I can’t even believe he tried them because he doesn’t like things mixed.  I made some more tonight for us to have.

I talked to Kenzie today.  She liked the pillows I gave her and put them on her couch.  She sent me a picture.  I talked to Melissa today too.  I told her about our friend Kurt being on his mom’s post for being in the spotlight for helping people who need leg braces etc.  He had Guillian Barre’ Syndrome when he was 8 and need braces and still wears them.  He loves working and helping people.
