I promised you all I would let you know when I got approved for Medical Marijuana. Judi and I did it. We then went down to Edgewater FL. and got two 500 mg bottles. $70 each. So we were suppose to start with 5 drops (each drop is a mg.) three times a day and slowly work up to 10 drops 3 times a day. Do the math. 16 days for $70. We are both at 5 drops 3 times a day and no relief. I sure hope it starts to ease our pain. Will Keep you posted.

How wonderful that you've adopted dogs! As we say in Yiddish, that's a true mitzvah. They must both be so happy with you. And how terrific that McNabb is your psychiatric service dog. A good friend of mine has trained her dog to be a psychiatric service dog, too, and she's happily working in Boston, with her dog at her side. What a difference a service dog makes!

I love puppies--and kittens--too, but yes, they are SO much more work than adult dogs and cats!

Our critters are definitely our family. We don't have kids. Or, rather, our kids have four legs.

I just saw that there was a "cat day" in Minnesota. Can't remember if it was in St. Paul (we lived there before we moved to Florida) or Minneapolis. Eleven thousand people turned out in the baseball park to watch cat videos and wear costumes and have a great time! I think this was the third time that's been done. My husband and I need to go back to MN to experience this some time!

Hi @jimhd We were in NW Indiana at the time, but I owe a ton of this to the support and assistance we received from her neuro-oncologist at Mayo, who worked closely with us all 14 years and often took the lead over my wife's GP. After living in Minnesota I can say the winters aren't all that bad up here either!

I've lived in Bloomington, IN, and in St. Paul, MN. The winters in IN are GENTLE compared to those in St. Paul!

Hazel, who misses winter, although we do get snowflakes and sometimes the snow even sticks; temperatures in winter go down to about 19 degrees F, and we get killing frosts
