It is 48 ° F now at almost 8 am, my husband started a small fire when he got up at 5 o'clock the temp was 39 brrrrrrr, I have a doctors appointment at 10 and I really hope that the wait won't be 2 and a half hrs or longer this morning. I would cancel but with so many Dr's leaving the province, he has taken on so many more patient's that he forgot to put in my blood work when I saw him May 6th which wasn't a big deal but I have two bulging disc's in my lumbar area L4 and L5 which showed up on my cat scan back in March for my stomach but also shows my spine and he didn't even mention that in April another doc mentioned it in April which when he told me I was surprised because I was seeing him for the diverticulosis and itis and seeing about the colonoscopy which I'm still waiting for, my doc along with many others are way overworked. We just don't have enough of them, mine told me that he sees between 40 and 50 patients a day which is way too many in my opinion, if he's screwing up with me then he is probably screwing up with other patients,he's been my doctor for well over 20 yrs so I thought I'd let him know that on the 25th of May I finally reached his office because I knew for sure that he didn't put in for the blood work or for the MRI, one secretary said that they couldn't put in for the MRI until a few questions were answered so finally June 3rd , I got the call so maybe in 9 or 10 months I will be lucky enough to get that done. I just wanted to tell my doctor about this because I doubt he even knows that he forgot, whew enough of my rambling on but you know I will not smoke over this or the weather because it's another dank, dreary, drab, dismal drisslie day but hey I'm alive and enjoying my coffee and rambling on to you my friends and fellow Exers so life is grand without a cigarette in hand.

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
