It sounds like the one I found you could use. Maybe you might find it at one of the big box stores.
Now all I have to do is wait for this heat to break so I can start getting the van together.

I still miss the Cube but must admit this car drives very smooth
I'm impressed by how easy it is to drive. Even on rough roads it drives smoothly. With the Cube I had to really hang onto the wheel in the wind, this one drives a lot better in it. Of course the real test will be on the road but, all in all, I'm pleased with it.

I haven't seen the big ones yet but the mosquitoes are here, that's for certain.

I had a good doctor's visit Monday.
First I had two ultrasounds on my arteries. That took a couple of hours, then my actual doctor appointment was 2 hours later but the tech suggested I go see if I couldn't get in sooner so I went to the clinic and asked and then signed in.

Not 15 minutes later a nurse called my name. As she led me down the hall she said, You must have seen x before because as soon as he knew it was you he said we're not going to make her wait two hours.

I explained that he was the one who took the staples out after the surgery and she totally got it. Every doctor hates that part, knowing the pain involved and mine were extensive.

Anyway, the tests were all good and I am good to go. I did have elevated blood pressure, no known reason.

One of the things he said which stayed with me was, after asking about my knee brace and after I explained, I said, I'm almost 70, I am not going to live forever.

He said, We rebuilt your carburetor and engine. I expect you will go another 100,000 miles.

I thought that was so sweet and wanted to share it with all of you.

Sounds like have a great doctor- great medical team! I'm glad they were considered of your timing. That was a sweet thing for your doctors say. Your doctor sounds like a gem!

I had AFib in 2012 and the medicine they gave me made my heart rate go too low. My cardiologist treat me even though I couldn't pay. When the medicine they gave me brought my heart rate too low, they put a pacemaker in. Even though again, I could not pay.

I was a little frustrated that they didn't explain the situation to me. One minute I came to the hospital for a change in medicine, and the next I was having a pacemaker put in. But knowing he was treating me without payment, I knew he wouldn't do it if it's not necessary.

The best thing was five years later I had inheritance from my father and was able to pay them!

Are they treating your elevated blood pressure or is it not elevated enough to have medicine?

It makes me smile & be happy you have a doc who has the skills to help you with your needs & who cares about you... He sounds like a good man.

Ye, he is. I'm not as happy with my primary, who I was assigned after my doctor retired.
At the time I was more concerned with my leg and he did direct me to my heart doctor. Now, since I only have my yearly check up, I kept him .

He's young though and I'm not sure he understands what an older person needs. I guess only time will tell.

I woke up way too early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I walked outside and was so happy I did as the sunrise was spectacular. Glad I didn't miss it.

Just back from my summer travels and stopped in this thread to check on Meo's travels. So you're back at home now. Have you decided when you're going to hit the road again?
