My brother has done some research into family background. All of the "elders" are gone from this earth. I guess your brother in law wanted to escape Tito. My grandmother came here as a young woman before any communism took root there. I remember one of my male relatives was turned away at Ellis Island due to possible TB.

I am now sitting here with some kind of rash on my face and I think it was due to wearing a lidocaine patch on my shin which was also causing my heart to race. I feel better now that I removed it. I guess I am in a very hypersensitive group and it seems that my tolerance for medicines is nil. Luckily, my shin seems to be healing. In the future, I will be very careful in selecting doctors and procedures. My trust in them has waned and their networks are an annoyance.

It is almost puzzle time as a heat dome is coming to my part of the country. With my condition the high humidity presents challenges so better to stay indoors with AC. Do I dare attempt a 1000 piece puzzle?
