hi Journal, Been awhile since I have written anythihg, so let me tell you what is going on here. First off, John is not doing real good, but he is still remaining strong,but guess he feels trips are out now. I have had lots of feet and leg trouble and have been having tests done. They found out I have something called lymphedema in my feet and calves,and monday I will have another mri to see what the problem with the knees are. My dr seems to think it is arthritis in the knees. I have no idea what it is, but just know it is harder nd harder to walk. Then was having abit of trouble seeing so figured it was time for more glasses... NOPE, to easy! They found large cataracts in the eyes, so am waiting for a referal, and then surgery to correct this. I kniw surgery is quick and easy,so am not worried about it.. At least not right now I am not worried..I just know I am tired of feeling bad ll the time. I need my legs and feet, and I need to stay healthy...got too much going on here to be off my feet any length of time...I also drove for the first time here in years.. I just drove to the corner and back but this is a start...Then I got the news of the eyes so need this taken care of it before doing any more driving..
