I wasn't happy with my doctors there (not that in Philadelphia I've been turning handsprings, but it's better), and my father's experience with back surgery and rehab and such and my mother's with work on her ear have been, shall we say, discouraging. The preponderance of lawyers? The relative lack of med schools (you can't throw a prescription pad in Philly without hitting a med school)?<br /><br />Very glad things are apparently now on an uptick...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728909293998777391.post-88091666143120749642012-12-22T18:50:13.875-08:002012-12-22T18:50:13.875-08:00Thanks, Randy.

Kitty's already looking and feeling better.<br /><br />I don't like to dis nursing homes; most do a fantastic job, although some are just plain horror shows. This place was good for what it was, but it just wasn't set up for Kitty's type of problem and should not have unwittingly presented itself as so.<br /><br />Wishing you great books and many spaghetti westerns for the new year!Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728909293998777391.post-6383064391931710682012-12-22T18:24:08.064-08:002012-12-22T18:24:08.064-08:00We have a good friend, James, whose teen-age daugh...We have a good friend, James, whose teen-age daughter is having some undiagnosed (as yet) digestive problems. She's had some tests already and is scheduled for a minor test on the day before Christmas. Our friend has taken this to heart and has facebooked, "Worst Christmas ever!"<br /><br />We love our friend, but, whoa, let's get some perspective! There are twenty-six families in Connecticut who are having the worst Christmas ever. There are people throughout the world who are facing challenges that would leave me a quivering hulks in a corner. We have health, hope, family, friends...Sure sounds like a merry Christmas to me!<br /><br />May you and Livia also have a fantastic holiday!Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728909293998777391.post-20399605216812804172012-12-22T17:37:47.545-08:002012-12-22T17:37:47.545-08:00Thanks, Bill.

A merry Christmas is guaranteed: the family is all together for the next few days, so there is nothing but laughter and love throughout the house now. Both girls and all grandkids (including the six-year-old foster girl) are dedicated and organized helpers. Today was Organizing Things to Make Kitty's Life Better Day. Tomorrow is Christmas Shopping Day. Monday is Final Planning For Christmas Dinner Day. (Evidently my idea for MacDonald's take-out for Christmas dinner got shot down. ("Go away, Dad. We've got this whole thing figured out. Trust us.") Kids! Whattaya gonna do?
