My doctor is younger than us but not sure how much-- he is graying now :)<br /><br />The nurse said she'd heard hitting it with a book (not specific which volume). I wonder though about potentially breaking a bone in the process. lolRain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-59961675161503300142017-09-05T18:31:49.674-07:002017-09-05T18:31:49.674-07:00The Cuters' pediatrician called it a Bible Cy...The Cuters' pediatrician called it a Bible Cyst... in that you had Mom hold your hand still while your Dad smacked the damn thing with the heaviest book in the house, the Bible.<br />Glad you went to the doctor and that you are normal :-)<br />a.bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-39414142684031019122017-09-05T02:04:53.764-07:002017-09-05T02:04:53.764-07:00Glad your medical appointment and test results wen...Glad your medical appointment and test results went so well --- probably because of the cheesecake. Guess we each have to figure out what works for us in terms of medical care. When my longtime physician died died years ago, I made a point of selecting a considerably younger than me Dr. I wanted someone who would likely be with me the rest of my days. Also, wanted him to see me while I was vibrant and active which I hope he'll recall if I ever get to the point I'm more decrepit. I think it may influence the attitude toward me if he can recall when I was at my best. joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-60077218438687483512017-09-02T06:32:05.561-07:002017-09-02T06:32:05.561-07:00Yeah, Harvey was a thousand year flood and those d...Yeah, Harvey was a thousand year flood and those don't come along all that often. Part of our problem today is we are building in locations we should not. The Gulf Coast is relatively flat too which let the water spread out. I read that they'd been warned their dams were at risk in a big one. It's just a combination of so many things and among them how earth's climate has always changed-- whether we are making it worse by what we do is just another part of the equation for today, with each side of the divide seeing it differently.<br /><br />Because I've seen a hundred year flood here, I told my husband we need to consider getting a supplement to our policy for flood coverage. I read that only 20% of those in Houston had flood insurance. They didn't think they were that close to water. I know we are and a storm that sits there for days (Eastern Oregon has had one of those and it wiped out a town many years ago) can inundate anyone. Humans have so little real control over the earth-- much as we might like to think we do. We can do it damage for sure, of course...Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-72857904022992397782017-09-02T05:50:08.424-07:002017-09-02T05:50:08.424-07:00Glad you got to the doctor.

I get a physical once a year and since I have changed doctors several times because they are leaving, I want to have my doc remember me. I have given up on writing about politics as I am a liberal and many on the far right do not understand social services are essential to a functioning country and I will never convince them. I feel they consider any non-voluntary spending a devil in the details. I also am well into a community of scientists and am sorry that many people cannot understand actual science that tells us many more like Harvey are ahead.
