Diana, have a wonderful time and a safe trip! Prayers for Melanie!

Janet, I know that living in a small town, good medical care can be difficult to find, especially when you cannot travel far with Mom in her condition. But, 2 weeks? They should be ashamed of themselves!!!

I am so glad that your PT is not hurting too badly!

Good luck Gary! Pee a lot!!! I also try to use nurse practitioners whenever possible, Gayle. The NP I was using is too much of an alarmist though, and I had to change. I found a very good doctor though, so I am really happy. He reminds me of the doctor I went to in Brooklyn, and who I trusted a lot. For a gyno, I think the hospital nearby has an NP. It's not that I don't trust doctors. In NYC, there was enough choice that I could find doctors I did trust. It is just that I trust NP's more! They have a whole different agenda.

I am very lucky though. I have had good health all of my life, except for headaches. A doctor did tell me once that the good news about my headaches was that they would never kill me. I liked that perspective!

We have rain a'coming, so I think I will relax in the house today. I have plants to put into my deck boxes, some coleus to repot, and maybe some laundry. I have some pictures to hang too. I could make some phone calls! This is looking better and better! The sun is out now, so I may go down to the pool for little while.

I am having the most relaxing summer! I am so grateful every time I think about it! I have the beautiful pool, my friends are here, the kids are close by, but have been busy enough so that I have some free time. I began my writing class, have some pottery cooking in my pottery teacher's kiln, and am so relaxed it is amazing. The kids are finished with camp today, so I think they will be here a lot, but they are going on vacation the last 2 weeks of the summer, so I won't get worn out by them. They are going to Hatteras Island, right on the beach. I am worried about the long drive, and them being away, especially in hurricane season, but I am excited for them too. Steve has been complaining, in his professional victim way, that he wants to leave this area. He isn't treated fairly here. I could go into a tirade right here about how self destructive he is, and how he causes his own problems 99.5% of the time, but I won't. I just hope that he doesn't plan on getting Jessie to love North Carolina and want to move there too!
