Oh my, only 2 more Sundays left in November!

I woke up this morning and wanted to be sure I was in Naples and I decided I was because:

• The temp was a CHILLY 60!
• I remembered yesterday when I got in the car to go to the store and realized that I did not have any shoes on!
• As I was getting out of bed I recalled that on the weather last night they made a big deal out of the forecast that said Monday morning it would be in the high 40's!
• I rode my bike to the tennis courts yesterday to practice my serve and it was sunny and hot!
• When I went outside this morning I picked up the paper instead of unlocking my wood shop!
• I heard the pool cleaner start up at 9:00 AM!

Yup, I am in Naples for sure!!!

I am happy to be starting in on a new week.  I lost count but I think we made about 8 visits to the doctor or to a medical place for MRIs.  Terry had a  nerve block on Tuesday to kind of start the week and then finished with a flurry with a Kyphoplasty Treatment on Friday AM.  She was very sore yesterday and when she would get up to walk she was extremely careful.  I think the walking was not so much the issue as was the getting up and getting down again.  She will have an appt with a doctor tomorrow and the a follow up appt the Monday after Thanksgiving to see how the Kyphoplasty went.  They will take an x-ray and then talk with the doctor.  At this time we feel that she received very poor treatment in the Twin Cities and we most likely will not use the pain clinic again in St. Louis Park.  I think they treated the pain rather than the cause.  Well perhaps we should have known a pain clinic would do that.  We are so so thankful for the doctors we have here as they seem to be among the best.

Tennis, it continues to take up time and I guess that is good.  We came out on top last Monday by winning courts #1 and #2 which means after 3 weeks we are 7-2 with the second place team right behind at 6-3.  We play them the Monday after Thanksgiving without one of our best players and then we play them again the last match of the fall which is December 19th.  For sure much can happen in between so we will see but these first three weeks has been fun mainly seeing the confidence winning some matches has given some of the players.  I pretty much have the winter lineup in place.  I feel I will have 6 players capable of playing well on courts 1,2 and 3.  I will have 3 players that will most likely rotate into the 3rd court.  One of them will improve and do well, while one will just be "not very good" and the third guy is a good player but he is 83 so his movement is slow.  Enough about tennis.

Terry and I will have a quiet Thanksgiving Day.  We will stay at home, make a special meal and relax.  I may be just what the doctor ordered!  Then I will enjoy leftovers for several days.

My FP was gone a long time ago.
