HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Yes, I do wish for each of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!

New Year's eve day was a very interesting day for me. I had a doctor's appointment, which had been postponed from an earlier date, and the doctor was not going to be here for this one, and they asked if I wanted to change it again. It was decided that I should go ahead and keep this visit even tho I would be seeing a Doctor's Assistant instead of my regular doctor (cardiologist). As it turned out, I am really glad we went ahead with the appointment. I had this happen once before and was very disappointed with the lady I saw instead of the doctor. I felt it was kind of a "brush off" appointment. But not this time. This lady was super!!. We had to wait about an hour to see her, but if she spent as much time with all her patients as she did with me, no wonder. I had probably the most thorough visit I have had in a long time. She had an EKG done. (That used to be a major project, but it is so simple now, it only taked a few minutes. Then she spent about 30 minutes (at least) with us. I have a heart murmur, but had never heard it. She let me listen to her heart (normal) and then let me listen to mine so I could hear what the murmur sounded like. She even let my daughter listen, too. She explained what the murmur really was, and really gave me a good checking. I felt very good when I left her. I was with Kathy and she had an appointment later, so we got that one in too.

That day was my greatgranddaughter Emily's birthday, so we went by to pick up another gr-gr-granddaughter, McKenna. Dinner at Kathy's house at 6 pm, and I was supposed to meet my ride back to Lincoln at 7 :15 pm in Marysville, at McDonald's. We never thought anything about it, but when we got to McD's, they were just closing up. At 7 PM no less. My ride called about 10 minutes later to tell me she was on her way, but before she got there, she called again to say that due to an emergency, she had to go back home, and didn't know if they would make it at all. So, we decided to go back and finish the birthday party. I never thought anymore about it, but Michael had been working on getting an adjustment to my phone, and had actually made matters worse, so when my ride called at 8:05, I didn't get the call. So, after we had our cake and icecream, and the gifts had been opened, I happened to look at my phone and had missed another call from my ride. Too late, now, someone was just going to have to bring me back to Lincoln. They had a New Year"s Eve party at the church, so Kathy brought me bavk to the church, met a few of my friends, and then I got a ride on home from one of the church families. All in all, a very busy but interesting day.

Nothing else exciting to talk about, so until next time - have a wonderful, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
