1. What's one thing you want to get done before the calendar flips to a new year?

Honestly, it is getting my wall calendar and purse calendar filled out with all the birthday for the year.

It's obviously James. We saw him on Sunday and that is my happy time. 

3. What do you like on a cracker? Do you have a favorite cracker variety?

We get Pita bite and also multigrain crackers from Trader Joe's and my favorite on a cracker is Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese spread. 

4. Do you have plans for ringing in the new year in a fun or special way? Are you typically awake at midnight on the last day of the year? 

No plans for New Year's but every year we stay awake, watch the shows on TV and open a bottle of  champagne at midnight. 

5. What are three words that describe your 2024? 

Family - Love - Health

******************************************

So you know about my injuries. The bad ankle and the fall with the cut. I'm not sure if I told you that I went to Urgent Care to have them look at the cut under my left knee. It looked okay but because it was red around the sore and felt warm, that can be a sign of infection. So I have 14 days of antibiotics to take, 4 times a day. I think I'm about a week into them. 

So on my ankle I got a referral to an Orthopedic Surgeon from my primary doctor. When it came in the mail Mark said "What about Dr. Lercel?" So I called our primary doctor and asked for a referral to him. He did my knee replacement 7 years ago and Mark's knee from his accident last May. So they said "does he do ankles?" So I called them and was told he does ankles. 

So I called my primary doctor back and they got me the referral. In fact they called me soon after with the referral # so I could call before they mailed it to me. So I called and you won't believe this. I am seeing him this afternoon. Now whether or not he does this injury I have is yet to be seen, but if he doesn't I trust that I could get a good recommendation from him.
