    Person in healthcare said if you are out, you are exposed.
    Examples: 1. Lady in grocery store coughed in her hand and put her hand on the shopping cart handle. 2. Wife was in the waiting room at the doctor's office. Lady took down her mask, sneezed, put the mask back on.

    My day in hell leave the house 7 am drive in the damn snow to pick the grandson up, drove to the MOA got there at a little after 10. Did the sea world fish thing, then a $120.00 lunch at the rainforest cafe. (don't claim to educate about the rain forest and have a silver back gorilla and a lion in the display) Then the kid built his own RC car, got to use tools and pick out tires rims accessories another $165. Oh and a stuffed animal and name plate from the gift shop.

    Being a grandparent is about having a do over of being a parent, without the stress and pressure.

    Good to spend time with him.
    Consider these:
    Nice thing about grandkids, you can send them home when they get on your nerves.
    If I had known grandkids were so much fun, I'd had them first.
    Wife was in preschool education for about 32 years. A little girl asked her if she had any kids. "No." "Well, do you have any grandkids?"

    No it is a little different having 2 grandsons for 2 sleeps, they fight a lot then raise hell then fight again.

    Prayers please, I take A. J. Back to the vets today. His leg issue resolved for a little while but is back. No swelling save a hard mass in his upper thigh. He's 3 legged again. I pray it is from the injury and not the suggestion of cancer the vet mentioned. That would have me back at Cornell for a second opinion. 8:30 appointment.

    Love the Maduro seizure snatch up. This will have several ripple effects on several disliked countries.

    Cuba
    Russia
    China
    Iran
    Columbia

    They’ve all been coordinating against USA.

    Things took a bad turn for A.J. yesterday. A second trip to vets and we were off to ER This time with hubby and daughter to Ithaca again.
    He was admitted put on IV'S all night. Orthopedic surgeon will see him before a full body CT scan this morning.
    Prayers please

    Thanks it's been a very rough several weeks. Waiting on an update, hoping scans just show an infection with a clear body scan. At very least he wasn't in pain all nite.

    Yesterday I took the day off, went and donated blood then went out for lunch at the little cafe in town. It was the second time I had been in the place since they opened 2 years ago. I was enjoying the wrap I ordered when the owner came out and said Tim how is your meal? I said it was very good thank you. It was a little unnerving that a guy I had never met in the little town knew my name. I don't do much in town, I go to the hardware store grocery store feed store local c-store deli, I go to the bar very rarely. Damn it I liked being an anonymous outsider where nobody really knows who I am, privacy thru being obscure that's gone.

    So the CT scanner was down delaying things but up date is....
    They want to aspirated the hematoma, and lymph nodes then check.for any signs of cancer. They are doubting the dysplasia diagnosis. Machine is back.on line and will be done soon. He ate a little this a.m. and has been a very good boy throughout the exams and procedures. even though still in some pain.

    That’s a small town for you. Just think, you could have moved the other way from the ranch and been in the cities. No one would know you there.
    I think you’re doing pretty well in the small town!
