You are all so sweet...just got on-line...

I just couldn't believe it, it was Dr.Jilesen's day off (office work only) and she got me in..got there 5 minutes late and he was sitting waiting for me..oh/oh...

Said my blood pressure was high (never in 34 years of being his patient has it ever been high)...he DID remind me though that I'm not the young woman that first came into his office and said without asking he knows I've been doing the 'go/go/go dance'...yep, that's me..lol...he has me pegged...

Anyway he gave me a sheet for blood work, will try to be at their office at 8:30 tomorrow morning...making a cat scan booking, not sure how long that will take, then he reminded me that I should have a mamogram, I won't get excited about that because his secretary told me they are booking late December...imagine...

He was concerned though with the tingling of fingers and vision..although he said that because at least 2 or 3 times a month I'd have to get needles to put me out because of migraines that with age they might lessen and react differently..but too many 'could be-s' said we'd start with these tests first...

Came home and Cathy was next door at the variety store..came over to tell me that my brother Bernie was here today, did some work and told her to let me know my Aunt had fallen this morning...so, rather than take the car I decided to take my bike and ride the 5kl. one way (omg 10kl more on the bike) and see how she was doing...

She's almost 80 and weights 78 lbs. just miniature..she went this morning on her walk with the dog and was up the road when a man came running to tell her what he thought was a rabbid skunk was running the road, guess it startled her, she turned and fell..omg you should see her arm/leg..can't move..wanted to take her to the hospital for x-rays..well we know who I take after, nope wouldn't go so I walked the dog, got her something to drink and treats and she said she'd call if she needed me...

Took a photo in her yard..was so pretty..Stacey you might remember the river...
