Happy Thanksgiving, Jackie!
Hi, Jackie. Glad you liked my post re dentists. There sure were a lot of opinions. You stirred up a hornets nest. Not everyone appreciates my take on things, which is pretty militant. But I've been dealing with dentists all my life and have a rather aggressive approach to the whole subject. I figure we, the patients, are more important and have a right to not only the best treatment but also the truth. Since we don't get it, why should we give it? Just logic, really. But the doctor/dentist guilds have brainwashed everyone. except you and me . Cheers! Mike
Thanks for the comments about not doing exercise; I was in a panic because my job was about 60 hours a week and I would take the dog walking sometimes.... I decided that every day I didn't walk him I would go on the stepper in the garage for 100 steps.. Ha!!! I got to about 50 and got a piercing headache. Now I'm being very very gentle on myself. This is so not fun - I'm such an anxious control-freak type person anyway so this certainly is a lesson in letting go :-( :-). Thank goodness for this site; whenever I'm nervous I just sit and read about all the wonderful other people who have managed to trek this path. Best wishes..
Make the jeep-hike in NZ sometime in the next two years; there has to be new drugs on the market before then!!!! - I'll book it for you and be your Auckland contact (I'll probably come too as while I've seen a lot of Australia, I've never managed to see enough of my own country :-)..
