One bonus feature of a total hip replacement is the handicapped parking permit. This permit allows me to park anywhere I want. Today I pulled right up in front of the Ace Hardware Store, life doesn’t get any better. When I told some of the folks I know in town that I was getting this permit as a bonus gift, all they wanted to know was “Can I borrow that? It would be so handy for parking downtown at Christmas!” And this permit is mine for a whole YEAR! I would recommend to anybody that you have a major joint replaced so you too can acquire a permit, your life will take on a whole new luster.
I also took the walker and cane back to the Bozeman Senior Center this morning. Never been to a Senior Center before, there were Lazy Boys everywhere you looked…the chairs, not the actual lazy boy people. The folks were very nice and said “Go have a look around, and we have free popcorn today.” I thought to myself “Lazy Boys, free popcorn, this place could be nirvana!”
My only problem with the Senior Center was the inordinate amount of old people everywhere you looked…but they did have that free popcorn?
See You Down Yonder Road
Friend of mine took her 93yr old mom to tour a Senior assisted living place…she said “no way in hell I’m moving into that place. The whole goddamn thing is full of old people”
She moved in the following month. The comment was made BEFORE the free popcorn.
I only had my permit for 3 months but it truly was 90 days of glory.
