Health again!

I've been trying to figure out how to change the picture on my blog to reflect St. Patrick's Day but haven't had any luck as of yet. Guess I'll have to ask Karina to help me again!

I thought everybody might be wondering about Don's leg/foot/ankle problems so here it it: Don went back to the ER on Weds. for his second ultrasound. The ultrasound was good and didn't show any clots. Then he went to an M.D. for follow up. The M.D. did a chest xray but his heart is normal also. So they finally decided that a medicine he had to use back in early January was the culprit! The medicine is Aldara and it's a cream which is applied to his face to control precancerous lesions. This is the first time he's used it. Apparently it does it's work through the immune system and it did something to his lymph glands. So they put him on a water pill and potassium for 10 days and he will go back for follow up after that. His foot and ankle look a lot better now so hopefully this will do the trick!

Otherwise the big news is it's been snowing here today. Yuck!

Yuck is right! I'm so sick of snow. So glad to hear the foot is going to be getting better and not major serious.

Glad to hear that they've hopefully figured things out. Scary. Also, happy birthday back on the 28th.

No, my daughter-in-law did it, and now it's outdated already, and I can't figure it out again...neither can I figure out how to post a new blog! I am hopeless!
