We got another good rain with the thunderstorms last night… Yesterday I went with Dave to the doctor because I wanted to ask questions and make sure he got Xray’s of his knees. We had a very long wait and by the time the doctor finally came in, I was fit to be tied. Dave wasn’t too happy with me for being so impatient and I doubt if I will be allowed to go with him again. I mentioned in the chat room today to the others who have Alzheimer’s if they had the same problem with waiting and they all said they did.
