Donna - Your mother and I would have gotten along just fine!

I did make it to work by 8:30, but by 3 pm, I was so tired that I couldn't wait to leave. I managed to stick it out until 4:15 and almost fell asleep at the wheel. To top everything off, this medical stuff has brought me the "pleasures" of enduring gout from time to time. Gout is a form of arthritis, which I have a good case of, and it is triggered by certain foods that produce purines - tiny crystals that form in your joints (usually the big toe or other joints related to the foot) and hurt like heck. BTW, those nutritionists lie when they tell you to ear fresh vegetables and fruits. With my condition so far, those tear me apart!

I managed to get my shoe on this morning, but the foot had swollen so badly by the time I got home that I thought it would take a crowbar to get that shoe off.

Stick with me folks; pretty soon I should have my first year of med school completed just by going through all this. I'll share my findings free of charge.
