PT and Honking

 Today, I had my first therapy session for my back. I went to ortho doctor about my right shoulder, hip, and knee. I am not sure why since I only mentioned the back problem when talking about walking with pain. 

So, I told therapist I was not going to have any back manipulation. She agreed. Lack of balance is bigger problem. It was a good session with work on balance. She gave me a printout of the exercises so I could do them at home. She approved of the grounding mat and my Legxercise pedals.

When I hear someone honk near us, I immediately ask Tommy who is honking? Are they honking at us? What is happening? He gets mad at my questions. 

I grew up in Memphis where honking was banned except in a serious situation. There was no honking at friends, honking because a person did not go soon enough after a light changed. Memphis was a quiet city. 

When we moved to Cullman, we lived a block from a hospital where signs were posted for no honking. Even ambulances had to shut off any sirens. I lived there for 50 years. So, honking alarms me. Plus, I wonder what Tommy did to cause honking, not that he was wrong. 

Afteer my therapy we collected the ads from all three stores. Tommy will make lists tonight. I wonder what will be bogo or otherwise on sale. Of course, the ad will go through Wednesday instead of through Tuesday.

      The older I get, the more alarming it is to me. Of course, Tommy has been all over the road so many times, I worry we are in danger.

  2. My husband's family has a weird habit of honking goodbye as they drive off. I don't know why it's necessary. It's not like they just didn't say goodbye before they got in their cars. And they wave as well, which is fine. But why the honking? I never understood it.

    I don't worry about honking when in the car. It's someone with an issue I don't care about. The End.

    1. Sue,
      I had multiple friends where I lived before that blasted the horn when the drove up. I would be waiting by the door to avoid this. But, even after telling them not to honk, they would, so I would know they were there! ??? I had neighbors I did not want to disturb.
