Sunday and Monday, 9-10 March 2014

I slept well Saturday night and got up in time to go for a nice walk to the highway 12 kikar and back.

Yesterday (Sunday), it rained much of the day here in Eilat, though not very heavily. Still, we got a pretty good soaking.

David had been feeling difficulties with breathing for several days, and by yesterday morning it was bad enough that he needed to see a doctor about it. Our regular doctor was NOT available, so we got an appointment with another family doctor, at 7:00 p.m. After examining David, he decided that David needed to be undergo some tests which, by that hour, could only be done at the ER and which should not be delayed until morning. Both of us were rather reluctant to go to the ER, but we finally decided we had better do it, just in case it was anything serious, and so we did.

Of course, NOTHING ever moves fast at an ER. At least they weren't too busy, and so we got out of there at about midnight. It turns out that there was nothing serious wrong. We came right home and went to bed immediately, and that's why I didn't write a post yesterday.

Naturally, we both got up a bit late this morning, but I still had plenty of time for my morning rituals before I had to begin teaching. David went back to bed and didn't get up again, though, until almost lunch time.

I taught 8 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00, 12:00-1:30, and 6:00-7:30.

Both yesterday and today, we ate lunch at Buddha Burgers and enjoyed it thoroughly.

This afternoon, David had an appointment with the Maccabi neurologist, Dr. Apel, at 3:30. We got there around 3:00 and discovered that the person whose appointment was at 2:00 was still waiting! David fretted at LOT about the long wait and almost left. In the end, though, we got in and found out that this doctor is really excellent, probably the best neurologist that David has ever had! This is probably connected with why we had to wait -- this guy simply takes the time needed with each patient, even if it's quite a bit more than allotted.
