Achey, Achey, Achey

By Daddy

Las Vegas — Anytime the temperature drops below 50° my joints start giving me problems. I'm having trouble sleeping while I get the heater just right. Normally I don't have to use the heater so it take a day or two before I'm comfortable.

Today was eaten up by an ultrasound of both my legs. The wound doctor requested two tests, but the laboratory could only conduct one of them. We'll have to find an alternative. Next week I will need to schedule an x-ray of my left foot. Hopefully my CROW boot will be ready next week.

Please Be Safe, Be Sane, Be Healthy! Remember to wear your masks.

To all those that have donated, Thank you! January is mostly paid for so any extra will be headed to the computer replacement fund. Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page
