Explanation

Well, the surgery center called today, not the gastro's office.
Roxie, a CNA, certified nurses aid, from there called to see how I was doing.
I told her that I had put in a call to the surgeon's office for a follow-up appointment and she said that since everything was alright I didn't need one.
Okay, I said.
But I was still wondering about the initial reasoning for the colonoscopy the blood clots and occult blood showing up on that test?
She said perhaps I should make an appointment with my internist.
Then I had the brilliant revelation to ask if it was possible for food poisoning to cause blood clots and could the ten days of Cipro perhaps have cured me?
She had me hold on and asked and then came back and said, yes!
Mystery solved!
I suppose they had to make sure it wasn't anything else causing the problem; after all I am at an age when that could happen, but it didn't, nope did not, didn't dare to, not in my nether reaches of my internal plumbing parts!
Hip Hip Hooray!

Moving on...

Hubby took our new vehicle in for its first free oil change at the dealership, it had all of 1800 miles on it already now plus the back and forth from the dealership in Punta Gorda.  
And yes that's what I was doing compiling info for we are still hoping to go on a bigger trip somewhere north of here out of season with cheaper prices for hotels in the nearer future and put some major mileage on her, really!

The New England trip will have to wait a while longer; it's been ten years since we have gone anywhere away from this area.
Savannah Georgia and Charleston South Carolina are looking pretty good for us now, not too far but far enough, a trial run.
Saint Augustine Florida too, we used to spend a lot of time there when we lived in Ormond Beach, even going there by boat up the Halifax River, not far from there by boat or car and it's been years since we have been there, so that would be very nice, a lot of history there as the oldest city in America.
We even took our younger son's friend, a Swedish exchange student there for the day with all of us, and he enjoyed it too. We are such a young country compared to Scandinavia and Europe etc.

Gosh, that was way back when our boys were teens, about twenty-five years ago!
How time flies.

On that pleasant bittersweet note, allow me to be the very first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count your blessings and share your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
