I don’t think people understand or respect… Read more

Yes, I have returned to Indiana from Florida and, gee, do I feel civilized. I had a doctor appointment on Monday, had one today, and have one scheduled for Friday. Next week is the cancer doctor and some other doctor… I forget. In June, I have a new foot doctor to see somewhere I’ve never… Read more
