Doctor Appointment

Doctor Appointment:
   Today I had a Doctor appointment with my arthritis specialist. It appears that I am doing well on the Plaquenell. I have no swelling in the joints of my hands and only a little pain. None of the horrible constant throbbing  that I was having. She is going to leave me on this dose until Winter and then see if I need more once it gets cold.  She is trying to wean me off of Motrin also. I have probably been on it for about 20 years for the inflammation of my arthritis. So she has put me on  Naprosyn, ( I think the brand name is called Alieve) for pain, and regular Tylonol for mild pain. All in all I think she was pleased with my progress and labs. She urged me to make an appointment with my Cardiologist though. So as soon as I get a new Doctor in Internal Medicine I will have to do that. I think I need a consult for that. 

Grocery Shopping:
   After we were done with the Doctor, we had to get some groceries because of all the food we lost in the fiver when the electric went out. So we can check that off the list now. So it has been a pretty good day. 

Charli:
   On the 22nd of July we have reservations to take Charli on her first ever camping trip!  We are taking Tehya too, so Charli has someone to sleep with. She is afraid to sleep alone right now for some reason. We only have a queen size bed in our fiver so there isn't enough room for her to sleep with us, like she does in our king size bed at home. I hope that she will do fine with Tehya. We are only staying 4 nights, I figured that would be long enough for her to be away from Mommy and Daddy. We'll see how she does, I am praying that we don't end up having to take her home early. The dogs are also going to be rounding out the party. I hope they do as well this time as they did last time. After that we may try to plan some trips with just us and the dogs. I would have liked to have gotten an earlier start this Spring on traveling, bt the weather hasn't cooperated very much this Spring and Summer. We would like to go back to Amish Country in Holmes county, Ohio and maybe a few other places. So we'll have to start doing some planning. We usually try to be at home on the 4th of July because every where is so crowded. We may go down to Alum Creek State Park around Columbus, for a few days soon if we can get the spot we want. 

Well that is about all I have for today, So I'll see ya tomorrow, on the 4th of July! Won't be nothing much going on here, just relaxing listing to the rain, but more about that tomorrow!  So until then Happy Birthday, America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See Ya's...
