This special day wasn't recognized for me, for certain. I'm not a fan of pasta. I can and do eat it sometimes but if it disappeared I wouldn't ever miss it. Hoping all of you who do enjoy it are able to eat a good helping today!
Continuing last night's conversation.....Kat, I do hope I hear from the doctor soon. I'll give it until Monday before I start nagging them, since I know the doctor leaves for the weekend on Friday at noon.
Squirrel, thanks for the information about Polio immunizations. Now I'm sure I must have had the sugar cube given out by the Health Department because by 1962 I'd been out of school for a year and was married. I didn't know any of that history.
Robin, you should be the Bionic Woman, considering all the body parts you've had worked over. I can only imagine how much pain has gone into all that. I have to say I admire how you've kept on keeping on and continue to accomplish all that you do. When I'm in pain I just want to crawl under a rock and wait to quit hurting. I know it doesn't work that way but I don't always realize the body uses a lot of energy coping with pain so I'm trying to keep that in mind as I sit around coping.
I'm still trying to process the idea of one of your procedures costing $500,000!! My husband had double hip replacement , which cost $90,000 and I had Cyberknife Radiation Treatment that cost about the same amount. Those figures blew my mind, but insurance paid for most of it in both cases. There's no telling what it would cost today.
I was relieved yesterday when my youngest son got back into the USA. He'd been in Tansania, Africa installing a network system for a seminary there. I talked with him very briefly, as he was at his place of business in Dallas, but on his way to a hotel to try to get some rest and readjust before returning to his "home" and family, who are right now at a campground in Virginia. He knows there will be no chance of resting once he gets back there.
