good to you.

Other than going to the library have no plans. Sometimes I wish we did more. I did do my exercise this morning and goodness knows I have much that I can do in the house.Guess that is just how I will spend the afternoon.

The friend I was so very worried about that had headaches and the very quick operation?Turns out she has Temporal Arthritis. This can make one blind.Now that she knows she can prevent that with medications.Never heard of it-but I will tell you it was frightening.

On that good news I will see you all later--martha

I think it's called temporal arteritis, an inflammation of the temporal artery. They thought Velma had it a couple of years ago but luckily she didn't. I'm glad the meds will help your friend.

Enjoy your library books.

It is nice to read good news about your friend. I have never heard of temporal arthritis either, but makes sense I think that she would be in so much pain.

Hope you found something interesting to do yesterday.

I don't ever seem to accomplish much when I have extra people in the house.

I never heard of Temporal Arteritis, but I'm glad to hear that your friend is doing well and that the dr.s didn't waste any time. I don't know if this site will come in but it tells a little about it. It sounds like it could be very dangerous.

We have promises of cooler weather this afternoon and possibly showers, but there is no humidity this morning and it is very pleasant. I haven't read any books lately, but my friend was just raving about the Harry Potter's series! Have you read them at all? Enjoy your day. Bea

That was very interesting and very informative.I sent it on to my friend since I believe the more we know the better.

I've seen two of the Harry Potter movies but not read the books. Just brought book one home. martha
