My emotion is really both sad and glad. First the sad.

One of my very best friends here has had me very worried about her--and am still.She's been having headaches-bad.Went to the eye Dr.last Thurs.Dr. sent her to a neurologist, right away,Monday.That Dr. set up an appointment with a surgeon right away.Yesterday,Tues.,She got a call to come to the surgeons office.He went over things with her and said that he didn't want to wait--he wanted to do a biopsy right away.Now, that involved drilling through the skull.She said yes and 2 1/2 hours later she was home.He couldn't wait since she might have gone blind or died.There seeme to be an aneurysm as well as whatever else they suspect.Her blood test is showing something that started all this.Prayers please.She's up and about, even walked her dog and made a meatloaf, but something is bad the way they all jumped.

Now--the happy.Yours truly is going to be going to London, England and Florence,Italy in the fall with my dd.Plane reservations have been made.Now on to the hotels and stuff.Rosemary, you do that trip so often, advice from you will be very welcome.

Oh my--wonder with this so long if anyone has the time to read it all--martha

Yes, see Michaelangelo's, "David", have gelato at Piazza Michaelangelo overlooking the city (oh maybe too cold for that in Nov. have cappucino instead), and window shop at Ponte Vecchio!

You will LOVE it!

Hugs, Darby
