well, not alot of news here, but i have been busy. my son left to go home the day before new years day but he left maddy here with us because he is moving back here in a month or so. i am thrilled to death. about a week after he left i found myself at the er for another kidney stone. thats 2 in less than a years time. so i had my yearly exam with my neuro and talked to him about it, he referred me to a urologist to have this checked out but i have unable to get an appt anytime soon. so its on hold for now. my neuro ordered an cta (catscan angiogram)to check the arteries in my head and neck. the inject dye but that was ok. took about 30 minutes, i dont have the results yet but hopefully alls well. i feel fine and am now trying to get in to see a neuro ophthalmologist for my eye exam. my eyes have gotten worse either from stroke or age, probably both. so mynew year has started out with alot of medical stuff already but thats ok, need to have it done. i am excited about the super bowl coming to phx. my dtr-n-laws team is in it so she is happy. there is so much hype going on here to get ready for it. it is a highly overpriced event, so we won't be attending it,lol. matt is back in school again and learning alot of nusing stuff. the weather here has gotten alittle cooler but it will be nice for the out of towners for the game. i'm content to stay home in my recliner and blanket to watch it. lol
