Glorious blue sunny skies today - 65 degrees and breezy. After breakfast we went to downtown Naples and I browsed 5th Avenue while Mark got a haircut and then sat in the sunshine reading his book.
I checked in with Dad as he wasn't feeling well last night and found out they were taking him to the hospital. He's had this upper back pain (between the shoulders) for a few weeks and been on a pain patch which they change every 3 days. After tests (pricking him with needles), he has a compressed fracture of the spine. I've been reading all about this on Google - can take 8-12 weeks to heal and once you get these fractures, can occur more frequently. He was at the ER about 4 hours and now back at the Lutheran Home with increased pain meds. Once again, Judi (our advocate) was there after he returned from the hospital!
Mark and I had lunch on the water at The Docks - delicious! Then ran a few more errands and back to Daisy. Rode bikes for 4.5 miles and just a light supper tonight.
