Today was a celebration. At Ken's suggestion, we went out for lunch, which was the first time since Ken gotten ill that we have gone to a restaurant. Of course, Ken was transported in the wheelchair, pushed by Ian, and accompanied by Laura the nurse, but at least he is well enough to enjoy a meal in a wonderful outdoor restaurant. Fortunately, The Riviera Grill has good food and a lovely setting because it is also the closest to us. Ken wanted to walk using his walker but we changed his mind. He had just completed a strenuous time with the physical therapist so we voted for the wheelchair. Rita and I celebrated the event by drinking a margarita, my first for this visit.
Tortilla soup is delicious. Every restaurant serves a different variety but it is always good. Everyone except Ian ordered the soup which is a meal of itself. But we were making our lunch our main meal. Next Rita and I ate fish tacos which were delightful. We have brought home one each for lunch tomorrow. We even ate dessert. Ken was delighted with the whole event.
The Riviera Grill keeps fruit for the customers. As you leave, you are welcomed to help yourself fruit to take home from shelves place strategically as you leave. Ria selected a watermelon and I took 2 oranges. It is a nice gesture and makes you feel good when you leave, which of course is the whole idea. Ken and I have dined at The Riviera Grill many times, but never as joyously as we did today at noon. We were all celebrating. Ken is not perfect and still carries the catheter, but he is well enough to enjoy a delicious meal at a fine restaurant. And that is definitely progress.
