Tuesday, 15 August 2017

I got up very early this morning but didn't go out for a walk. Instead, I ate breakfast early and prepared for my day.

I took a bus down to the Maccabi office to find out what I could do regarding getting cataract surgery, since I had called the Asuta Hospital and found out that they had no appointments. They told me I could go to the Ichilov Hospital instead (the one where I had my prostate surgery) and gave me the number (which I actually already had). When I called Ichilov, I was able to get an appointment for the 27th of November, so I'm satisfied with that. This is the necessary appointment BEFORE an actual surgery can be scheduled, of course.

I took today's pic of the day in front of the Maccabi office:

I met my friend, Hannah, there at Maccabi and we went together, partly walking and partly by bus, to Fay's house for the English speakers' meeting there. Hannah is new in town, so she had never been to Fay's before.

The meeting was very enjoyable. After an hour or so of free conversation, we had a more organized sharing, where people told stories about interesting experiences with doctors, dentists, nurses, and other medical workers. We got lots of good stories, and I think everyone had a good time.

I walked part way with Hannah (so she wouldn't get lost) and then I took a bus back home.

I taught only one 2-unit Berlitz lesson today: 3:00-4:30.

I had eaten quite a few goodies at Fay's house, so I didn't eat lunch at home. Later in the day, though, I did feel a bit hungry, so I made myself a nice large salad.

In the evening, I watched two episodes each of "Modern Family", "Friends", and "The Big Bang Theory".

I walked a total of 3.7 kilometers today.
