I DO eat in the dining room whenever possible. That means that for
breakfast, sometime I go to the dining room and Bob goes to the
buffet. (Although sometimes he will have to go get something else and
come back and find his food is gone, which he doesn't like) But
sometimes I don't get up early enough and the dining room is closed,
or we get back from a port or excursion later after the dining room is
closed for lunch and then we more or less have to do the buffet.
I don't really use a cane all the time. I have what is kind of like a
shooting stick, and I use it to sit on if I have to stand in line for
any length of time because that's what I really can't do - stand still
for more than a couple of minutes. |
