Tuesday

 
Happy things first.  Here is the "toothless wonder".  She lost two teeth in one day. 

Barrie bought four tons of hay, and borrowed  her father and his trailer to go get it.  Kasey learned to use a hay hook, and was dragging 70 lb. bales up to the trailer.  She thinks she is "Superwoman."

******************
 
I called the clinic over a week ago for an appointment, and couldn't get in until a week later.  When Barrie came Monday morning, I was on the couch.  She took Kasey to work with her, then called an hour later and told me she had my appointment changed to 2:00 that afternoon.  I think she told them something to the effect that they treated their dogs better than the clinic treated their patients.
 
So - I had X-rays done on my back on Monday. It showed I had a compression fraction.  New pain pills, and went home. Later that afternoon, Dr. Freunpreis  called and wanted me to come in at 9:00 this morning for a CT.  (New pills worked much better, and I felt better.)  So KC and I went up at 9:00, and no one up there knew why I was there.  They drew some blood, I finally got a CT, and we were home three hours later. 
 
I am in the vortex!

Unless something changes, I should be able to make it to art group tomorrow.  I have really missed my artist friends.

Yes, you are definitely 'in the vortex'. We have missed you so much, Duene. And we love you. I was on my way home when I called you. Then I stopped by Vicky's.

Kasey is pretty darn tough if she can drag 70# bales.

WOW! Glad they finally found out what is wrong with your back and that the new meds are helping.

Don't leave your health care to just 'anyone'. See a specialist!
