@loribmt Thankyou, Lori, for your message of encouragement 😊.
Yes, over lunchtime, my wonderful table mate offered to walk over to the dentist's with me, (both with our trusty walkers), wait for me, and walk back home with me, sacrificing the possibility for both of us missing dinner! The dining staff have promised to send our meals to our rooms later, if we're running late. Whew. I'm feeling very relieved to have a friend nearby, who's actually adamant to lend a hand. Not feeling too strong today...one of those bad dizzy days. We'll have our own little Walker Parade. Lol.
All's well that ends well.
I'll be thinking of you today, too, as you leave your beloved lake for a trip to the hectic city. Take care. Hugs, Laur

We’ve arrived home safe and sound. You do the same!! I’m thrilled to hear you have a trusty friend going with you! This is a huge relief as honestly, it’s difficult when we become like family and our members are so far away…we can’t personally help!!

I’m giggling at the mental view of the walker parade!! Love it! Cars have no other option than to stop for you!! Strut your stuff, ladies! 😘

Joking aside, I do hope this isn’t too laborious of an effort for you and that you can get the bite plate to fit properly. They do need adjustment from time to time. (Dental Assistant, Lori speaking).

Bless your dining staff for catering to your needs! Wishing you well! Lori

I'm laughing as I envision the "walker parade". My Mom lived several years in an assisted living apartment building with several long-time friends, everyone relied on a walker, cane or powered scooter for getting around. It was a sight to behold when they all decided to stroll around the block together to visit my daughters who lived nearby, and see their gardens and the then 50 lb tortoise.
