There will be a Covid test at 10:30. We have been watching tons of youtube videos […]
On 1/23/2023 I said: “Someone pointed out that, since the new surgery is more than 30 days away, I may have to do all the clearances again…” Thursday, February 15, my heart sank when I got a call from the hospital. After being on hold forever, I talked to a person who wanted to schedule […]
From the last post…1/24/2022 This post is officially done…for now. Next stop, Total Knee Replacement. On 1/23/2023 I said: “New, Approved-Dentist finished up everything he needed so I got Dental Clearance.

Since April 2, 2022 it seems like things have gotten worse again. Fortunately, I got back into a water exercise class, not at […]
