What started out as a delightful day turned into a fractious Friday. (New word for me) I woke up a little concerned about more leg pain and tightness in my chest. I tried to brush it off, but friends and family suggested that I call my doctor. Her office called back and set up appointments at Baylor Hospital for some tests. The good news is, they let me go home and I didn’t end up in the ER like in July. Yes, it was troublesome, and I will still worry until I find out the results on Monday, but I took action and got checked out. Who knows what could have happened? Therefore, I feel truly blessed.

AND A LITTLE HUMOR ABOUT TROUBLE
The sad part is some folks won’t get this. Now, that’s trouble!

I’m so glad you got it checked-out. Pain is there for a reason. Listen to it. Love, Jo
You have my best wishes for Monday. I’ll be thinking of you.
Thank you. That is very kind.
I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you so much.
About the trouble with fractions quote : 1/3 of the public understands fractions pretty well ; 1/3 know something about them ; but the other half don’t know anything about them at all .
Let’s see, 1/3 plus 1/3 plus 1/2= hmmm! least common denominator is 6 thus 2/6 plus 2/6 plus 3/6= 7/6. Yep, still doesn’t add up. I taught one whole year of 7th grade math in the 80’s. And I still remember that.
I can count to ten , twenty if I’m barefoot .
I still use my fingers to count too. That’s what they’re there for.

That is so sweet. I just started blogging January 1st because I challenged myself to share my joy, trials, tribulations and inspiration for an entire year. I never expected to meet so many wonderful writers, readers and friends. A wonderful experience. Thanks again.
Thank you for your lovely blog Tony and all the hard work you put into each new post.
