• The allergy specialist that Mom went to did a few tests and found that she's quite allergic to dust mites, which he said was interesting considering her age. Apparently, the older you get, the less allergic you become. He told her to quit taking her current allergy medicine since it wasn't helping and told her to take Prednisone for a few days and Prilosec indefinitely. She's supposed to call him back Friday to let him know how she's doing. He said he wants her to come in once a week for allergy shots. He also mentioned that one of the blood pressure medications she taking (Lexapro, I think) has been known to cause coughing after two years, so they're going to see about taking her off of it.
• Dad's doctor is sending him back to the neurologist (I think that's right) that he's seen before (been a while) about his Parkinson's. His medicine may be making him sleep all day. Also, they want to check out the pain in his legs and to try to pressure him to take physical therapy, which he thinks is useless. Mom has told me how crazy he is about his nurse practitioner and I can understand. She's quite a buxom lady! Aside from that, she knows exactly how to handle Dad!
• I had my Ovarian Cancer Screening today and they said my cyst has gotten larger, so I'm gong to see what a gynecologist recommends, as it could be endometriosis.
• Amy's been suffering from pleurisy.
• I think Jill and Jeremy's air conditioner is out--that's go to be nasty with this humidity!
• Janelle and Joe bought their wedding rings and, as she says, had their boring 8-hour marriage class :-)
• Tentatively Mom, Dad (ha, ha), Jo, April, Lee, kids, August, Gus, Pat and I are all planning on going to the fair on Sunday. Anybody else going to be there?? I entered 13 things (yes, I know, I went overboard), so I'm bound and determined to get another ribbon. I couldn't have done it w/o Mom and Jo's help!
• Also, aka the fair: Robin entered that gorgeous drawing that Jason did of their horse--which they'd have to be crazy not to give a ribbon to!
