1) appointment with family doc yesterday. Got him to fill ALL my prescriptions for a full year, let him know about the bedbugs being the hives/rash issue all last year and told him I had my surgery! He was THRILLED for me. I told him "See you in a year!"

2) while I was there, he told me that when/if I need surgery for loose skin, that Medicare would fully cover it. Good to know if that day comes!

3) sadly, Dad fell getting out of chair into walker (brakes not locked) yesterday. Dad isn't hurt but my brother couldn't lift him (Dad's about 230 lbs I think). The grat is that they called Ray who was on his way home and rushed over to get him up

4) Dad's colonoscopy and polyp removal is tomorrow morning. Please continue to pray for good results. We're all worried about it and I just pray that he will have more time with us (i.e. YEARS not MONTHS)

5) hoping for a call with the nutritionist today and the move from full liquids to puree / mushy foods. All is going well. Scale isn't rocketing downward like I had hoped but downward will be good, no matter the outcome
