A lot of emphasis is being placed on the social dimensions of many of our behaviors. I was sitting in Dr. Sack's office and there was a blurb on CNN Health about the social dimensions of weight gain. I appears that hanging out with people who are gaining weight is contagious!
Waiting room magazines are not intellectually stimulating. I am waiting for an X-Ray at Memorial Hermann imaging. The magazine selection includes: People, Sports Illustrated, Texas Highways, and others of the same sort. I guess Dr.'s think that this mindless junk takes your mind off the fact that you are usually waiting a long time for a short procedure. You'd think they would put some puzzle books or something that would actually occupy your mind in the waiting rooms instead of stuff that doesn't really challenge.
Dad fell again today and hurt his arm. He's becoming more unstable. He won't use his walker but prefers the cane and sometimes doesn't use it. The aid says we must be more vigilant with him but I don't want to restrict his freedom any more than it already is. I wish I could understand what's going on in his mind. I bought a Kindle copy of Tuesdays with Morrie, hoping this will help me understand. I'll report more later.
I like the idea of noting thoughts in my notebook during the day but I never seem to have time to write anything when I'm at work. I need to work on that.
