I made an appointment with the family doc to see about some infections
that have been brewing. Since he was away, a locum was taking his
place. The replacement happened to be from Cape Town so I asked him if
he knew our own Drdoc. He informed me that he did, and that drdoc was
THE most highly regarded Rd in South Africa. I was pleased to hear it.
We know it, but it is good to hear that he has that recognition in his
country as well.

The voice thingy continues to plague me. I had to give a presentation
at work on Friday for our Professional Development day.When my turn
came to speak my voice was completely gone. My mouth  became so dry
and raspy I was embarassed and frustrated. I had spent many days
working on a power point presentation and in planning and organizing.
Somehow I got through it, and my vocal quality improved, but not to
where it should have been. Whether this is a result of Sjogren's and
my sinus problems, or what I am not sure. It is not something I need
when I work with my voice.

My eldest sister is finally starting to improve. She still has a
dressing, and gets it redressed daily. Her stitches from the most
recent debridement come out tomorrow. Her original tkr was on
September 25th, and here it is April already. The docs discovered that
she has diabetes and this is why she was not healing.

I have started something new, and this something is going to use up a
lot of my time. I will still read the newsgroup regularly but may not
post as often as I would like, I will give you more details as things
unfold.

Wishing you good health,
