I forgot to write yesterday. And I had something to write about.

Saw my new doctor in the morning. The bronchitis is gone. I have a heart murmur, but it's nothing to worry about. Got a new scrip for Vicodin. Doctor reviewed the latest x-rays; lots of arthritis in the pelvis. So I guess pain is going to be with me. He did suggest heat, and I've been sitting on a heating pad. I took 1000 mg of acetaminophen after I got dressed, and was able to walk to shul today.

Spent the afternoon and over $200 with a Nerd.  I think he solved my puter problems. He installed a new power pack. He also vacuumed out the CPU. No surprise that there was a lot of dust in it. I didn't have any problems logging in this evening, and so far no blackouts or freezes. Maybe I should go click The Button before the puter changes its mind about behaving. 

Walked part way to shul today with a young man who lost his wife in a tragic accident caused by a drunk driver. She was pregnant with a boy, after bearing two girls. Such a senseless, horrible thing to happen to a family.  He said that the older girl got a perfect score on word recognition (no surprise there!), but got 93% (I think it was) on the math portion of the test. She works carelessly and makes mistakes that she knows better.  She scored 139 on the IQ test. No surprise there, either. The child speaks and thinks way beyond her ten years.  She was telling me knock-knock jokes today. So now, the father can get some financial help and advance placement in school for his brilliant daughter. I really enjoy being around that child.

Another woman who was also injured in the accident cited above, is doing very well. She was thrown several feet by the impact of the car, had broken legs and pelvis. She was in the hospital several weeks, then had several weeks of rehabilitation. All this time, her newborn son was being cared for by people other than his mother.  He's a darling little boy. Crawls like he's a speed demon, and walks like a drunken sailor.    He's so cute!

Well, I've rambled on and on, so I guess I'll click The Button, and play solitaire for a while, until my TV shows come on.
