Oh my! I forgot to check in. Seems my life is sooo crazy right now but sooo great and grateful for all the stuff going on.

It appears I may be headed for a new joint in my thumb but can't get into the ortho dr until June. In the meantime, I've found a small joint brace that is working wonderfully, if I wear it all the time so I am.

Waves to all my friends! I'll take another day of freedom

It's crazy how long you have to wait to be seen by a doctor lately. It's kind of scary where the medical field is going these days, and to me it seems as though doctors have incredibly busy schedules, and that compassion is going the way of the dinosaurs. Kinda sad really...

Mr. J has a 1999 Ford F 350 and it's a beast to drive. Thankfully, I don't have to use it that often!

24 more please...

Mr J's truck is a classic Jude, I'd love to have a truck like that!. Funny how we get so used to the vehicles we normally drive, I know when I drive Bubba's Flex it seems like my butt is almost touching the pavement lol.

Have you had problems with your thumb all along Ginger, or is this something new that's cropped up?

I can't imagine spending 3 hours on the phone with anyone Slo, but then I've never been much of a phone person. Glad you got to spend that time with him though.

I bet it was pretty cool watching the dolphins Rava, too bad there was no crabs to catch though.

Good morning Cafe. I agree about how long it takes to see a doctor. It’s almost like you just need to treat yourself. Took me 3 months to see a hand doctor for my knuckle. Their office doesn't even have reminder calls or anything. So if you miss an appt you are out of luck! Too many old people in Florida so seeing a doc in a timely fashion is nearly impossible. Hope everyone has a sober and healthy day. 24 more please and thank you.

Yes, Cowboy, we are a two car couple. The Edge is a 2013 and the RAV4 is a 2021. The truck is an F250 we bought some time in the 90's and it is mostly just used here on the farm. It's such a gas hog we drive it as little as possible. We primarily drive the RAV because our trips back and forth to town fit easily withing its 40 miles of electric.

It's sad how hard it is to see a doctor these days, Jude. My doctor is in high demand, so she has had to hire a PA to take some of her regular patient's wellness appointments. So, I can see her only once a year and that's only if I'm lucky. This coming May, I had a scheduled appointment but was just informed yesterday that she had to cancel and I have to see the PA. I'm sure it will be fine, but I like my doctor and have a high level of trust in her. Hopefully I'll see her next time around...

Slo, I am amazed you could talk for 3 hours on the phone! I don't enjoy talking on the phone. It's great that you and your Uncle had such a good long conversation.

Hi Rava and Ginger!

24 more hours please and thank you.
