Thank you

for the well wishes regarding the Cleveland trip.  The place was practically empty.  The nurses told Carole and Mark to leave as early as they can and what areas to avoid.  They said downtown was destroyed and the people excited to return to jobs after Covid, have nothing to go back to.  Many workers had apartments downtown, afraid to return, and one was burned down. 
Unfortunately the staff was not as efficient as usual and they waited an hour for the echo.  A few workers came out and asked what they were waiting for and when told,  "I'll be right back" was said.  Three times, and no one ever came back so Mark had to roam the hallways to find someone, most everyone had already left for the day.  Finally found a technician who apologized that they were told to go to the wrong waiting room, had the test an hour late.  Ran into several groups congregating but drove through, the "little Italy" section was gaining a crowd also.  Everything was closed, they made it home without incident.  Carole will get results tomorrow.

For those asking about the bottom of the last post's sampler, it's Ann Smith's work 1833.

Hopefully the doctor will remove all the bandages on my foot tomorrow and set that little piggy free.  Friday I am having the PRP injections on my scalp (for hair loss) and I am becoming very anxious.  The top scalp is numbed with a block before the injections, but any time I have lidocaine it lasts five times longer than it should.  Some patients experience excellent results, some do not, and some shed twice as much hair after.  I will call and talk to the nurse for reassurance tomorrow.  

Have a good day folks.  June!!  Holy crap.

Marly: I am so sad this is happening to Carole and you, what a clinic they are how could they not have asked more questions while they were sitting there, this makes me very upset.
I hope the injections do not give you too much pain, I hope they work.
My Mother had alopecia lost all her hair.
I hope you have a great week.

So thankful that Mark and Carole got there and back home okay. So unnecessary for the wait.........Scary about the congregating of protestors/rioters.
Not enough going on, now we have a bear roaming the neighborhoods.
I hope your "piggy" can be released and will feel better.
Praying the hair treatment will go well. My hair is soo thin, but oh well.........
Am getting the feeling of staying in bed and not wanting to deal with June, July, August..........
Going to be HOT today. I'm enjoying the warmth. Has been cold in the house. Have to wear a jacket.
My flowers are blooming prettily....bought three new plants,yarrow, scabiousa and small coneflower.... they are doing well.
Have a happy day....

I'm glad Mark and Carole made it to Cleveland and back OK, odd about the snafu about the scan with several techs not getting things corrected.
Hope all goes well with your piggy unveiling and hair injections.

Oh Marly. I am here. I am reading. I am just numb most days from all that is going on. It is too much. We live not far from Milwaukee. The riots and looting... I am praying for you and your sister.
