I have been going since 5:40AM and I am exhausted. Soon I will take my Chelsea out and go to bed. I just hope she sleeps til after 5AM again tonight.

I go hold of Dorothy at Dr. Moreno's office before I left for bible study and when she heard about the callous she make an appointment for us for this afternoon at 2:15.PM.

So I went to Bible Study which was nicely animated, we finished discussing Mark 4 today. There were six of us there. This is a nice group, we range from 4 to 12 depending on who can come. I picked up a bulletin for Mother as she did not go to Mass yesterday. The weather in the morning was pretty iffy. I ran into Loraine Schaap and was told that the choir sounded just wonderful on Saturday at Stevan's memorial. That made my morning.

Mother was just fine. I can tell that she had the weekend to rest. She was totally exhausted on Saturday when I stopped in after the mass. But she had had a very busy week and needed to rest.

On the way to Falls, I noticed that the Low Tyre icon was displayed on my dashboard and in my message board. And indeed, the message said tyre. So on the way home, I stopped at the service station at the corner of Hwy 57 and PP and put air in all four tires. It worked, the warning is no longer showing. I stopped at Kris's Cheese while I was there and got some of the Sartori specials. I told them I really want the cinnamon which they do not have yet. Sometimes Sartori doesn't get it out to the vendors before they demonstrate it at shows.

Home again, we had lunch, then on to Plymouth Aurora to the anti-coagulation clinic. His count was 2.9. Right on!! So unless ends up taking antibiotics, we don't have to go back for a whole month.

Our appointment with Dr. Moreno was at 2:15 in the Sheboygan Clinic. We were SO relieved. The callous had redeveloped. A blister had formed under it and then lifted the callous, but when he trimmed it, there is no open wound, new skin has formed below AND there is no infection. So we are really jazzed and I cannot tell you hoe relieved I am. Dr. Moreno wants Tim at Wisconsin Prosthesis to do some adjustments to the shoe. So when we got home, I called Tim and we will take the shoe in tomorrow morning at 9:30AM. We will be home in plenty of time for lunch. Bobbie will be coming sometime around lunch time so we can rack her currant wine into the secondary.

The at 2:30PM I am getting my hair cut and finally I have to be at the UW in Sheboygan at 5:30PM for our herb class. We are hoping for decent weather and that it will be light enough to go out into the woods for some hands on experience.

I know my Dad knew a lot about wild plants and animals. He and mother used to harvest wild asparagus in the spring. I remember that.

It rained all day, not hard but pretty steady. Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer.

Take care.
