All's well over here....and if you believe that you're a guppy and I'm a great deceiver.

The leg is doing OK on the drive, thank goodness! I can barely get it into the van but it works. Of course, if I were having the same problems with the right leg I would be unable to drive and therefore out of work. There are many others who have things much worse than I do. :)

Aloha Doc!

How'd your appointment go. You always head off to work mornings so you might be slowed down a bit but you're movin'.
