The contractor was here today with my friend Tony and they installed bannisters on the other side of the stairs so that I can hold onto both of them when I'm coming down. It feels so much more stable.
They also put a grab bar outside the front door so that if the concrete steps are icy I'll have something to hold onto. They couldn't do a whole bannister because we would probably need permission from the Homeowners Association. But the grab bar will do just fine. They also installed a new kitchn faucet for me. I like it.
Then this afternoon I went to my appointment for one of those Lifeline Screenings. I know I get regular checkups from my primary doctor and my cardiologist but these days it is wise to get multiple opinions. So I had a bone density test, ultrasounds for aorta (I think) and carotid arteries. Then I had blood work for cholesterol and the cholesterol levels were in normal range. Sugar levels were perfect. I'll get all the other test results in the mail in a couple weeks.
So the only things left for the immediate future are a bit more dental work and a checkup with a dermatologist. Then I should be set for a year. Finally.
