We are Terry & Cathye Kinkelaar. If you've followed my blog in the past, you know that Lydia, my beautiful wife of 52 years, and I made the lifestyle choice to move to Oregon in 2017. You've seen my posts about losing her in May 2020 to cancer. Although I was left alone, I am pleased to say that I have found happiness again. In April 2021, I met Cathye, who also lost her longtime husband in 2020. Well, we fell in love and were married in April 2022. So, if folks are still interested, I will continue to post here as we move forward with our lives and adventures!

Oregon Living 2017 – Blog #70 – Doctor’s Appointments & Dodger Baseball !

 

Monday, October 16th, 2017…...  Today was our doctor’s appointments.  They made them for us one after the other so we could go together.  This is our first meeting with this new guy.  He wanted an hour for each of us for consult so that was a good sign.  We’ve already filled out most of the forms they need so we were ready.  The appointments went well and we both liked our new doctor.  My meeting was pretty short.  A quick exam, vitals, medical history, prescription updates, a flu shot, a mole burned off my temple, and no need for a follow up.  Lydia’s appointment took more time, given her health issues and all her meds she needs to get ordered. She got her flu shot and also a referral for a nephrologist.  So that was done. Now we can relax for a bit and get her appointment set for the kidney specialist.  We drove around for a while because they were calling ahead to Walgreen’s for our immediate prescriptions.  We got back into town and stopped at Jack in the Box and had a light meal, got our prescriptions and then went home and finished up with tv for the night.


Tuesday, October 17th, 2017…...  Today was Penny’s doctor’s appointment.  She had to drive to Salem so we told her to just bring Quincy over on her way.  I walked her and then we ate breakfast.  Lydia made breakfast burritos (my fav!) and then I went to Wilco to pick up some bolts for my workbench.  I’m lucky that Walt left me a perfect spot where he had his chop saw for me to use for mine.  I had to cut out a bit off the sides but that was easy.  I bolted mine in place and all that’s left is to get a vacuum hose to hook up to the system I put in a few months ago.  That involves crawling under the workbench which will have to wait until my back feels better.  Lydia got some more lidocaine for her back and that is helping somewhat.  I hope she feels ok by this time next week because that’s when she flies out to Florida to see Jeff and family and be there after his surgery.   Penny got back and by then our pest control follow up treatment appointment guy was here and gone and Kirk had come by with more bark to put down.  He will be getting more for me but will just add it to the order for Penny’s house scheduled tomorrow. Lydia fixed Costco tamales (and chili) for dinner and she went to the living room for her tv shows and I headed to my office/tv room to watch baseball.  My Dodgers won yet again!  One more to go to get to the World Series!
