First---how is your knee doing??? Better and better I hope~~~

And here in Tucson, the papers say that it is up to an 8 hour wait in the ER of the hospitals---

I would hope that I dont fall into that circumstance!!! UFF!!!!
So far---just minor coughing/etc. but this could be due to the DRYNESS here---

We went to see some friends----and thru the screen door Ken said * go away---I am sick as a dog*!!! Ta-ta---and off we went---

great peoples this Ken and Carla----
This is funny us I always called him TEX(being he came from Texas) and he always calls me ROSE!!! Dont ask me why

take care dear OMA--
stay well
keep a smile (which I know U always do)
luv and
Barb

Hi Ms. Columbo....
The Knee: It's slow but it's getting better slowly. It all takes time I suppose. I hear it can heal up to a year..so slow we go. Say that real fast three time while intoxicated

I have already been to the Doc last week for the crud. I live in the country and the nearst town 16 mi has a hospital I wouldn't take my dogs to...so for me to go to an ER I need to travel at least 55 mi. But God willing We won't need one right a way for anything. I am glad at least I don't need one in Arizona.

Other than that we are just surviving like everyone else. I have applied for un-employment til I find a job that is knee friendly. Remember I still have one knee needs surgery...But I am taking vitamins and treating both knees well. I only take pain meds when absolutly necessary. My vitamins have let me feel better and more like doing things.

I hope you are well, other than a few minor coughs that hopefully will go away soon. I started taking Zinc and Vyamin C when I got sick and it cut the time I was sick in half. Doctor agreed with me. There;s a cough drop called Cold-eez at walmart that has Zinc in it.....if you use those don't take extra zinc. Love Oma
