A Visit with a Friend

March 1,when I had my fall after leaving having an ultrasound on my stomach area and follow up on my liver.
This turned out to be fine and no problem.
At least that is settled.
I did not feel like going to the club and wanted to stop at the market for a few things.
The snow was letting up as they got the parking lot just about finished.
Got my food shopping done.Did I mentioned that I loved to food shop.
Then on my way to the car and then the mishap happened.
Well you know most of all of this.
A friend of mine and one of the oldest one and living.
He was going to have surgery on his carpal tunnel as the first one did not take.What!the same surgeon and second time around.
For me I told him you should have a second opinion on this.
Then he went on to ask me what happen in my fall.
As I proceed to tell him that I fell at the market basket parking lot and fractured my wrist and going to the ER.
Here it comes.
What!are you crazy?what are you doing being out in this weather?
I had to have my ultrasound test.
Well you should have canceled it.
Why?Because you should not be out in the snow storm.
Why not?I do it all of the time.
Fredo,you are a old man and you should not be out there.
What is matter with you.
What was I supposed to do?
Stay at home and watch TV and eat bon bon and get fat.
He replied:So?
This person scolded me for going out and falling on the ice.
Repeatedly said you are an old man and should stayed at home and not to venture out.
Then I noticed a dictionary on the table.
What this?have to look up words so I can spell.
Then why do you not get a computer?
Do not start this,I have no desire or cell phone or anything electronic and you can shoved it.Well I said .Be very glad to help you on this and something for us to do.No!No!do not want this.
He is a man of 78.Will not go out unless he needs to.
Also the first friend that I met when I moved here in NH>
We had great time.Him and his lover.
Then the lover died and everything went sort of up and down.
A very negative person,who threw me out of the house several times.LOL
Why do I continued to see him?Well for one feel sorry for him and trying to get him out of the house.
He will not do lunch,ride to the beach etc.
We meet always on the Forth of July for our annual cook out.
Not sure how long this will last.
His house is up for sale and has been for the last three years.
No interest as he wants to sell it bad.
He has a very nice place,but too small for some.
Remember that song."Hey old man take a look of my life,I'm started to look like you.
So I left before he will throw me out again.lol


Ladies and Gentleman.
Mr.Neil Young in the year live 1971
Singing Hey Old Man.
I loved this song.
Enjoy.

A young person can slip and fall on ice. Since when is that age-dependent? Keep going Fredo!

Thanks,Dottie.He is just a grumpy old man

I have friends like yours, very negative. One of my oldest, dating back to our young teen years, is always on my case for exercising -- says things like, "why do you bother?" And I say it makes me feel good and I am thinking, "because if I didn't, I'd look like you." But I don't give up on her -- we go back too far.

your so right on this.I will not give up on him.He is my oldest friend and knowing that he depends on me at times.

I've decided that's what friends are for sometimes - they make us glad we're not them. When I've waving goodbye to certain visitors, I say to myself: "See ya, wouldn't want to be ya."
comment by troutbend on Mar 9, 2012 11:15 AM ()
l liked that phrase there.When I leave his place feeling good and saying to myself.Glad that I am not you.

It's sometimes difficult being a friend to someone "in need". But, you're a good person to "befriend" this man. I would enjoy grocery shopping more if I indulged myself with certain "no-no's". Eating healthy stinks!!

yes,it does at times.I understand what your saying.
reply by fredo on Mar 9, 2012 9:41 AM ()
You are a kind soul, Fredo. Your friend sounds glum and a bit stubborn. He could embrace life as you do, but sounds too depressed. Don't let him upset you.
Good news on all your tests. Before you know it, you will be healed. Be patient.

He is very stubborn person and very seldom ever see him smile or laugh.

I have a full pantry because I remember those depression years too! I love
folk music. Judy Collins and Leonard Cohen were both at the Bhuddi coffee
House here in the late sixties.

I know that you do.Short of being a hoarder
reply by fredo on Mar 9, 2012 9:42 AM ()
I don't see the point in limiting life that much, but I am not that old yet so maybe it's something I will learn.
LOOOOOVE that song - thanks for reminding me of it!
comment by kristilyn3 on Mar 8, 2012 3:48 PM ()
you will soon find out.Yes,Neil Young was one our favorite and loved this song.
Surprised that you know this.You are full of surprise
reply by fredo on Mar 8, 2012 3:50 PM ()
Yay on the results of your test! It never hurts to get things checked out just to be sure, though.
I am like you with shopping for groceries. I am not sure why, but I have always liked doing it. It is like a mission. Ray thinks I am nuts!
comment by trekbrarian on Mar 8, 2012 2:24 PM ()
yes,I do enjoy food shopping.Think that in my case being in the depression years and without
food at times and never had enough.As for me I make sure that we have enough on hand.
Not a hoarder but could be.
