This Busy Day

We moved all the furniture we painted and fixed up to
Sara and Curtis's apartment and were pleasantly surprised
to see that they had put their rocking chair together.

I set up the tables for the family reunion and sorted silverware. Fortunately I have enough and we don't have
to use plastic forks. Definitely, we will use paper plates
and napkins. Cooking is relatively easy for the hostess.
All that needs to be done are salads, a large spiral sliced
ham and a cake.

With temps in the eighties, kids will be able to play outside.

Big news. We went to my doctor and Ted finally got some
decent pain medication and a stern warning about being
too heavy and not getting enough exercise. I wrote to
Senator Coburn about our experience at the V.A. and
complained to patient care about how we were treated.
I, if nothing else, got it off my chest.

I am still reading when I get a minute. Several people
have expressed interest in a book club and I need the
diversion ao I am going to post a flyer at the library.
The walks help. I meet all the dog and cat people.

Renee continues to be an extraordinary friend. She brought
over eleven folding chairs yesterday and marched them
out to the back porch. She is not attractive and makes
no effort but she is awfully sweet and helpful.

It's always best to speak out. They can't know there's a problem if you don't.Have a most wonderful reunion.

I envy you all the energy that you have there.I could used some of it.
Sorry,that Ted is not getting a good review at the VA there.
The person that you should contact is the head of the VA .
Try to think what is his name.You should find out.
I had good care there at ours.But then again not that sort of treatment.
Nevertheless,lets hope this works out for you.
Have to get ready for your trip.
We leave for Guatemala later this year.November.
Enjoy the time with family.

Sounds like a lovely day in store. Glad Ted is getting the treatment he needs. The VA is a mystery. It used to be a go-to place.

Sending lots of good wishes for your reunion! Most of all, try not to fret and relax and enjoy yourself! Good for you for fighting for the care Ted deserves. When oh when will this country wise up and get universal health care not driven by profit but a desire and commitment to serve patients?

Sorry to hear that the treatment Ted receives at the VA there is not the best. The Tampa VA has treated me great. I have an appointment on Monday. Please have fun at your reunion!

Best of luck tomorrow. It's always a lot of work to have people over, even when you have it all under control.
