Yes, I remember 'winter' - I lived outside of Bangor Maine for 5 years (off the 'airline road', or 'humpback road', Rte.9), now I'm just north of Miami Fl,  go figure....

No!  Winter pictures are banned from the Spa Day thread!   ;D ;D ;D
And Marci, great idea on the shoes.  If they're flamboyant enough, no one will notice my roots!

Moi, herself, indeed!  Got lucky.
It was one of those top ten days for sure.  We're having a whole string of them, but I'm sure we'll get back to normal soon, unless I can talk Ernie into making a sacrifice to the weather gods on my behalf.

I've been wondering where you went to.  Are you back at work?  I'm doing great.  Just eye irritation and ugly as anything, but functioning just as if nothing had happened.  Well, my incision area feels weird, but no big deal.  I'm just about ready to cheat and color the skunk-stripe part.  I think I can just wet my hair and apply color just to my part and then turn upside down and rinse it out.  It's just the non-permanent stuff that I use.
I received an order for three-month MRI and blood test from Mili.  Did you?

Hi,

Glad to hear your feeling good. Don't you have head pain when you put your head upside down? I still do. ???
I haven't heard a word from Mili except to cancel my 6-week check up. Is the three month MRI and blood test normal?
I haven't been told a thing. It's like I'm invisible again. :(

Hey, I started watching a program on telescopes last night, but fell asleep before the end. Could it have been the program that Dave was on?

Oh!  I don't think so.  His would have been so exciting that you would have stayed awake!   ;D ;D
His is scheduled for either this Sunday or Mother's Day (Everybody, remember your mothers!) at 9 am CBS Sunday Morning Show.  I'll try to remember to post an announcement as soon as I know for sure.
No, the only pain I get when I put my head upside down is my mother yelling at me, which she did when I was digging up volunteer plants in her garden this morning.  ;D
I do feel a little nervous when I do it, though, thinking my brain might explode.  But remember I was on extended steroids.  How could anyone forget!?!
McKenna told me one year for an MRI.  Mili scheduled me for a two-week MRI, but I refused and told her about McKenna, but then I got this appointment from Barker for an MRI at MGH for 8 am July 15 (with BUN Creatinine lab slip for two weeks before the MRI) which is five days before I see McKenna on the 20th.  What craziness!

Just had to share this recent visit with you.  I was headed out after dinner to do some gardening, and look who showed up.



Then I realized the mother was in the woods below.  She came up to the house soon thereafter.



And later they headed off together.
