I still haven't figured out yet if the Groundhog saw his shadow or not. I know Monday was pretty cloudy here so I am thinking not. Not that it really makes a difference as there will be six more weeks of winter no matter what.
I was so grateful for my sister driving me to and from the hospital on Monday. When we got up in the morning we were not sure as it had snowed a bit during the night, and the roads had not been cleared yet. But, bravely, Cindy decided to go for it and off we went.
The roads were pretty snow covered all the way in, but thankfully there was lots of traffic on the road carving a path to follow and we got there within the time frame I was supposed to arrive. Cindy stayed with me up until they took me down to the operating theatre. She went to the craft store then and was back when I was taken to my room afterwards.
I have to admit I was quite discouraged when they told me that another shunt had been put in. But apparently I won't have to be put out for them to remove that one. Just some numbing stuff and the urologist will pull it out.
I think the worst is over? At least I hope it is.
The roads were completely clear all the way home. All the snow was gone from them. Cindy dropped me off and put my garbage out for me as yesterday was garbage day. I really don't know how I would cope without her. Aside from the fact that she is my best friend.
Eileen went to see an apartment when I was at the hospital on Monday. It was not appropriate. Too many stairs and I guess it was really dirty, etc. I told them and her that she is welcome to live here with me until a proper apartment can be found that suits all her needs. There is no need to rush into getting something that is not suitable, safe or appropriate.
She is sad over everything and hurt, naturally, but I think she will be okay, and will actually better off in the long run. She is very capable and will do alright on her own.
Last night Eileen and I had a cheeky treat of potato chips and dip. She had picked up the dip while she was out to her CSS coffee hour in the afternoon and I had picked up the big Costco bag of Ruffles chips on the way home from the hospital on Monday. (Cindy stopped at the Cambridge Convenience to get coffee, and I got her to get us a bag of chips.)
Eileen was remembering how when they were kids every pay day I would get them a bag of chips and some dip and pop. I would divide the chips into bowls for them and get them each a glass of pop and we would usually rent a movie and watch it together. I was surprised that she remembered that, but was pleased that it was a happy memory for her. So that is what we did last night. We each had a little bowl of chips, some onion dip and watched episodes of The Golden Girls on Disney. I think the last time I had watched any of those was when Tatiana was visiting me in the U.K.
Eileen and I both enjoyed watching them last night.
I had to order myself a new Health Card. I seem to have misplaced mine with all the comings and goings. The last time I remember using it was at the lab last week when I dropped off my urine specimen. I know I had it then as the girl told me I didn't need it. But I have no idea what I did with it after that. I can't find it at any rate so I called up and ordered a new one. Not free of course, but you have you have to do what you have to do. You need to have a health card to get health care.
And that is pretty much all that has been going on here in my Casa. I might try to go out to supper with Cindy and Dad tonight and bring Eileen. She would really enjoy that. It all depends on how my day goes loo wise. (Still having to go frequently, and when I have to go I have to go NOW!)
Eileen has a therapy appointment in early afternoon and I am just going to putter around here doing what I can.
So I will end this now with a thought for the day . . .
A thought to carry with you . . . I always loved Mr. Rogers.

Another new/old recipe in The English Kitchen today . . . Impossibly Easy Mac and Cheese Pie. I hope to start posting some new content soon, but in the meantime am updating some of the older things, which warrant taking a second look at.
I really hope that you have a wonderful Wednesday. Keep safe. Stay warm. Don't forget!
