Dear all, Had my latest checkup with the doctor yesterday and got pretty much major good news. Although he still thinks I might have some rheumatoid arthritis running around my joints, I do NOT have cancer, lupus or anything else dire and/or life-threatening. The hernia and gall bladder surgery will not happen until at least mid-May, which is a big relief at this time. I'm feeling relatively great, only minor inconvenience due to pressure from the hernia. But nothing I can't live with. That said, there is a big however... Scott has finally found out why he's in so much pain. He has two verterbrae out of place and needs back surgery. Probably April 11th. That it's fixable is the good news; the bad news is there is a projected down time of three to four months, and no guarantee they'll hold his job that long. So we'll accept all prayers, white light, good thoughts, etc. for our financial stability as well as physical health. And if that weren't enough... We have finally, after nearly 17 years, found an affordable first-floor location in Yellow Springs for Donna's store. The move must be finalized as of March 31, so any of you who have time/energy/truck, this is an official call for help. We'll be spending every spare moment packing and schlepping; our contact numbers are: home, 767-9393; store, 767-1182; my cell 623-9393; Donna's cell 623-9383. That's it for news at the moment. Hope you're all well, and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance, Micki
