Good afternoon, everyone...drip, drip, drip goes the melting snow...wish it meant the end of winter, but we all know better, don't we?
Went to my pcp yesterday...she's keeping me on my regiment of cholesterol meds, since my numbers actually went down from last Sept.
She and I discussed my in laws, since she's their pcp, too. She said my MIL's neuro sent her a letter stating that my MIL is declining more and more. I asked her, "what kind of dementia does she have?" She paused, and said, "Alzheimer's."
That's the first time a doc has put it into words. I was in shock...even though I've watched and notated the decline, hearing that word sent shivers down my spine. My poor in laws
I had her check the lump in my abdomen...she sent me for an immediate CT scan. I had to drink 24 oz. of barium...ugh. I was sicker than a dog the rest of the evening.
Anyway, no cancer or hernias, no diverticulitis...she's not sure what it is. Okay, as long as it's not C. That's all I care about. My mom's grandma died of ovarian cancer. No thank you

I am going to write an article calling for a tax revolt in Illinois. Money is the only language that our "lawmakers" understand...when they aren't gettin' any, maybe they'll listen to the citizens. Maybe...

Well, all of you have a wonderful afternoon...
