DH had two appointments today. First was a follow-up with the
opthomologist who adjusted his dosage of eye drops and told us that

he stated he never finds a DM of over 25 years with such good optical

My mom has joined us from the UK and we are taking her to the southwest for
a holiday of a lifetime. She is a very agile 70+ years young BUT only has
