Doctors

Today we head for Syracuse, NY, I have a morning appointment with my Vascular Surgeon who did my Surgery on my neck in 2003.   They scope out the Stent, staples and blood flow on the right side where I have 2 carotid arteries. then they check the left which is 40 % plugged !  Hopefully it does not need surgery !

This photo was taken about a week after I was able to get out of bed and move around, the swelling had gone down and soreness set in which they said was a sign of it healing !!

My Honey has an appointment for an MRI on her hand and then 2 hours later an appointment with the Doctor to go over the MRI results and a plan of action !

We wanted a Gas Range but it is too costly to upgrade the Gas Service with new piping in this House and with the Generator we can still use the Stove if the Power goes out so we got the above new Stove !   We finally broke down and went shopping last week for a new Stove, the one we have is Electric with a full glass Top that is burned and in Sad shape but we knew that when we Bought this New (Old) House,  We found what we wanted at *LOWES and they delivered it today !
