We're Here

We're here - in Arizona that is. Yeh, its hot here during the day - about 107 or so today. But its nice in the morning, about 80-85 or so - nice for taking a morning walk, or whatever. One just needs to be inside most of the time during the hot part of the day, much like we do in Kansas sometimes.

I visited the neurologist yesterday at Phoenix Neurological Associates. He had a very nice office in a new, not fully occupied, office building. We could look out and see Camelback mountain through the spacious windows there. Nice. The doctor was also very nice and intelligent. They had no nurses there so the Dr. came to the waiting room to call me in. There was no scales to weigh, no blood pressure or temperature taken. The Dr. got right to the point.

We were pleased with what happened there, for the most part at least. After a few normal reflex tests and many questions, Dr. Levine gave us his analysis, a good part coming from reading the medical reports he received from our family doctor, and from hearing me answer his questions. There will be a neurological text next week, I gave a blood sample this morning, and there will be a change in at least one of the medications, plus a couple of things to do after we get back home. Hopefully things can change for the better as a result of all this.

We're enjoying our stay here with our daughter and her family. We're hoping that we can be together with all of them sometime while we're here. Our son in law Brad went to London today on business but the others may all be around over the weekend. Then there's Bogey the dog who sleeps most of the time but who barks loudly when the doorbell rings or someone comes in the door. Jazmine the cat will go live with her master this p.m. sometime. She's been around a long time, but she is Whitney's cat and she's picking her up to take her to her new apartment near ASU where she'll be a senior this year.

Hope all is well with all you readers wherever you may be. We all know that God is with us wherever we are, which always gives me much comfort. May God's peace be with you wherever you may go. I remain
