Huge senior moment today.
It was the busiest, most strenuous day since I went into the hospital the beginning of August.
I needed to get a fasting blood test for the cardiologist, since my last one hadn't been fasting and came up with an uncharacteristically high level of triglycerides, something cardiologists never want to see (I already got the results: My triglycerides are fine).
I also needed to stop by my apartment for some warmer clothes (it's gotten cool quickly here), pick up the mail from my previous hold order (which I put in before I knew how everything would unfold), get gas and buy some things for dinner at BJ's and Wegman's.
It was a nice day out, that involved a lot of walking - the parking at the medical center was a LONG walk to the lab, and the shopping involved going to the far corners of some very large stores, as well as walking from parking - more than I've done since Cuenca, I think.
So, I'm approaching everything with no hurry, setting out at 1pm, I have plenty of time. I keep having to walk back to my car after a few steps when I realize I've forgotten my mask.
I finish up my shopping at Wegman's, last stop, and I am in my car unwrapping a protein bar, I take off my mask and notice my left hearing aid is missing. My hearing aids are always coming off when I unmask.
My hearing aids have an app on my phone for settings and pairing so I can hear my phone directly. The app has a hearing aid finder function. My hearing aid is not in the car.
I start retracing my steps, re-walking my path through Wegman's - the app says my hearing aid isn't in the store.
I drive back to BJ's. My hearing aid is not around the gas pump. I trace my steps through the store (you see what I mean about a lot of walking?) watching my app. No hearing aid at BJ's.
I go back to the post office, now closed - no joy.
I drove to my apartment - but on the way, I had a flash - I had to change the battery in that hearing aid before I left. I remember taking it out of my ear, but I didn't remember actually changing the battery.
I phoned J. He sent me a pic of my left hearing aid sitting open on my night table.
I was more anxious about losing my hearing aid than I'd been about having open heart surgery. I need to meditate more.
I'm grateful that even my self-induced problems seem to work themselves out - and I'm grateful I've developed the skill, now a habit, of letting things go when they're not relevant.
