Doctors--yech!!

Sorry, fans, no pix, just doctor appointments. We had our physicals in Tyler, our blood tests not back yet. Duane has high blood pressure and will start taking med for it tonight. He has been messing around with this for a year--it went up and down. Now its up and won't go down. After I got my eyes examined and new glasses (same day woo woo!) we drove the house across the Louisiana border and parked in Greenwood. A trip to Shreveport yesterday to our financial advisor and our dentist showed two good reports. Today Duane found out his macular degeneration has not gotten worse in the last year, and that he is still cancer free. Yay!!! We managed to fit in a couple of short visits with former friends and neighbors today. Tomorrow we move back to Kilgore for more tests. Duane gets an eye exam and new glasses (although his right eye is no longer correctable) and a followup on his new medicine. I get a mammogram and a bone scan. So far so good, though, so we expect no new surprises. Hooray for the old people!!!

Enough for now,

Louise and Duane
