On Friday I return to the surgeon to get the final staples pulled from the spot on my waist where they took the chunk of skin to graft into the large hole they left on my chest from cutting out the basal cell carcinoma. In two weeks I go to the Ophthalmology Surgeon to have a Laser treatment for the Glaucoma in my left eye ( and he can look at the cataracts in both eyes).Some interesting side-notes.I have had a slowly "creeping rash" on my chest for years (My first treatment for it was in 1999) - the Internist figured it was a fungus.Since I have been here, I have been seen by a variety of Drs - all of whom asked "what's that" and I'd say Dr, so-and so thought it might be a fungus - and he would proscribe a different cream. Even when I was in the hospital for the heart surgery they put on steroid cream on the sore. My new GP who is "only" a nurse practitioner looked at it and said "I don't like the looks of that, it could be basal cell, we should get you to a Dermatologist to check. The Dermatologist took one look and groaned - to him it was basal cell and a very large advanced case at that (he even asked to take pictures to use for a lecture. He took a punch biopsy to check; when the results came back as expected I was scheduled for surgery. Now folks make fun of us living in the sticks far from big city care...well...The Doctor scheduled the Surgery to be done in his new office down here and they set up a pathology lab in a nearby suite where the visiting pathologist could do a frozen-section evaluation while I was still on the table.So the farm boy just travelled five minutes from home to have the citified surgery.My Optometrist referred me to the Delaware Eye Institute (4 minute drive) where an expert from Wills Eye Institute in Philadelphia visits to do specialized Glaucoma surgeries.Also please note - city specialists from both coasts let me dribble through 12 years of festering crud - it took a local young lady Nurse Practitioner to get the problem fixed!Also note - Medicare saves big bucks by bypassing all the intermediate referral costs - I went straight from Nurse Practitioner to Surgeon.der Brucer

Joan Taylor's life was interesting.
DRs Jane and TCB, do keep in mind that just because a tourist is Asian that does not mean they are Japanese....as far as language goes, Japanese and Korean sound almost identical...then of course you have Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, etc, etc. I could be wrong, (I was once )but I cannot imagine Japanese tourists acting the way that you describe, particularly at the Pearl Harbor exhibit. Sorry to keep going on about this, but a pet peeve with me is when people assume every Asian is Japanese or every Asian is Chinese when there are so many different Asian cultures, all unlike the other.

Police say autopsy reports indicate a pair of 73-year-old identical twin sisters who were found dead in their California home died long before they were found.Singers Patricia and Joan Miller lived for nearly 40 years in South Lake Tahoe but often shunned their neighbors.Police found one sister dead in a bedroom, and the other in a hallway during a routine welfare check on Feb. 26.Police say medical investigators have not been able to determine when the women died, but their decomposed bodies suggest they had been dead for at least several weeks when they were found.Officials have been unable to locate any close friends or relatives to notify of the sisters' deaths.
Just got word that our special guest for the next Kritzerland show is Lainie Kazan.
I am getting ready to watch one of my favorite shows,Royal Pains. I think we are a few episodes behind what has aired in the US. We are mid season three. I am so happy a network here picked up the show.
I must say I am NOT impressed with Amazon UK. The first "dispatch" of CLEOPATRA never came, they sent another, and it hasn't come. About to demand a refund. I get stuff from the UK all of the time, am really surprised by this.

I must assume there's a Tiffin University in Heidelberg.
Richard and I spent the evening watching the first 4 episodes of Downton Abbey and we're hooked!
