ARE YOU FROM NEW ENGLAND? From where did that question come? (And My Girl Friend)

 



Yesterday (7th January) saw me having a follow up consultation at the offices of Sarasota Lung Associates with  Joseph Zoller., PA-C


Specialties: Physician Assistant, Certified
Graduate School: Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Science



In the absence of my pulmonologist Dr. Mazalewski I was more than happy to consult with Joe (and he prefers to be called).

Like Dr. M he is unhurried, and as anxious to listen as to speak.

As the consultation drew to an end I asked "Are you from New England?"   There was nothing in his accent which betrayed him.  Rather it was his manner, his affect, his way of being which triggered my question.

I got it right!  Joe was born and bred in Concord, New Hampshire.

It was an amiable time.  As we walked together to the discharge desk Joe said "now for the check-out". I grinned and said, "I didn't realise that my condition was that grave".

---------------------------------------------------------

At the desk I asked "where is my girlfriend Rae today?"   

"Right behind you" was the reply.

Rae is a vivacious and very beautiful woman in her sixties, We love to see each other when she is the clerk who checks me out.

She'd seen me pass by her desk and followed me in order to greet me.  What joy!   

Since we were not separated by a desk we were able to exchange a joyous hug, both of us smiling from ear to ear.

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
