All Better Now

Well it has been nausea-land and room spinning time for me since Friday but we went to the ER at Flagler Hospital Saturday (Urgent Clinic only open 9to5, MF!)and got an EKG;, they took 4 vials of blood, a full history, put me on an IV drip since I was dehydrated and determined, Viola:  I had vertigo.  Just like the movie, this ailment is seriously scary.  Stay away. . .it was caused by my ear cleansing last week, so says the doc.  I don't ever want to go through that again.  But feeling almost 100% now and so is Allie.  She had her stitches out on Thursday.  Got two meds and that made a world of difference.

We just have made an agreement to rent out our Florida house to that wonderful young couple we met on our cruise (and played hard trivia with).  She is getting her pharmacy degree and already has a job lined up at CVS here so we decided to offer them our home once we leave and they come down (from Charlotte).  I am sure they will find something over the 6 months they will rent here but at least here they will have a big back yard for their dogs and it is furnished so they will have all the comforts of home at a reasonable price.  I am so excited that they are pleased with the arrangement.  And so happy we will have some nice friends here each season we visit. 

Mayo's Davis Bldg. (MY Building!)

This Tuesday we go to Mayo for labs and CT scan then Wednesday it's off to St. Pete.  Dali Museum in St. Pete. 

Next Monday I have my oncologist review and the meeting with the surgeon about the stoma re-siting.  

Then my cousins come in on Feb. 24th.

In the meantime a lot of things are happening with CFA like a new website with a new "branding" image of  UnChain Buncombe, new fund-raising efforts and an entirely new PR/educational campaign.  I cannot wait to get that going.  All the media people have been very generous giving of their air time and all kinds of gifts to the dogs.  Very nice! 

Plus the folks who are throwing their hat in the ring for commissioner in the  2012 election are people we actually know (amazing what a small town Asheville really is!)  Am feeling really good about getting a law passed in 2013.

Have not found my photography class yet but still looking.

All to report now from the dern coldest place I have been in for at least 6 months! (it was 32 this a.m. and matched a record of 1955 in Daytona)

Love,

Peggy
