We cut our time in the West short and did not go to MAPS convention along with a few other planned stops, as we were needed in Alabama. One daughter lost her job and needed our help in moving. Of course, there is always a Daddy-do-list from each daughter. We are always busy when home and need a vacation when we leave here.
We have been in Alabama for almost a month. Allan and I have had numerous doctor and dentist appointments and still have a few to go. I have had a problem just getting a mammogram. It all stems from my gyn doc retiring and choosing a new doc. At least half of our doctors have retired, left their practice to be a hospitalist or choosing not to take insurance. We have seen a few friends and taken our daughters out to eat.
I had my first experience with signing in paperless with a little tablet like device. It was an easy experience for me (I pity the older people who have little or no experience with computers), but it was very time consuming. It started asking me questions related to psychiatric problems like depression, anxiety, abuse ... ( I felt like I was being abused by the time I finished with this contraption) I was waiting to see if it asked me if I owned a gun. That would be the last straw. After I completed that section it started with advertisements for medications and wanted to send me updates on these medications to my email. I have enough junk in my emails. I don't need any more. This was obviously provided to the doctors by drug companies.
We plan to be here as usual at least through the end of the year. I hope I will have time to catch up on our blog. I am still so far behind.
