August was a busy month for John Lardin…
August was a busy month for John Lardin. It started with fulfilling an item on his bucket list. He loves Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss 80 piece orchestra. He told Judy he would fly to Europe if he had to see him perform. Fortunately they will be in Florida March 5, 2021 and John bought floor seats to see him. John celebrated his birthday for a week having dinner with friends and family on different occasions. John also had many doctor appointments including chemo at Botsford/Beaumont. He saw the cardiologist and he had an echocardiogram; EKG, and also had him walk around office and check his oxygen level. Also had 7 vials of blood taken to check absolutely everything. Fortunately all results were positive. He has a Doppler scheduled for the carotid arteries next month. His faithful “bride” Judy continues to take care of him. He doesn’t know what he would do without her. John also golfed on Monday with Tri-V and on Friday he plays 18 with the seniors. Judy’s excitement including a sleepover for 3 days with Alyssa; Judy did take Alyssa to the dollar tree for an outing but will not go to mall with her. Alyssa spent most of the 3 days in the neighbor’s pools—she has made many friends and they all have pools. John and Judy hope to visit Larry and family in October to celebrate their granddaughter’s 16th birthday. John is still planning to go to Florida for three months the first of the year. He says at least it will be warm and I won’t have to worry about falling. Judy’s on the fence about the trip to Texas and Florida because of the Coronavirus. Time will tell.
