"When we walk to the
edge of all the light we
have and take the step
into the darkness of the
unknown, we must
believe that one of two
things will happen:
there will be something
solid for us to stand on

or we will be taught
to fly."

From Woe to Glow, then Grass to Mow:

Things keep getting stranger for us "Hillians." First Bill's medication acts up in him (last week), now Becky's is doing the same thing, only with a vengeance. She took only one dose of a once-a-month drug and is having multiple side-effects from it. We hope it doesn't take a month for it to clear her system, but we don't know. Somehow, I think she will not be taking a second dose - ever.

We did get some good news, for a change. The VA has raised its earnings cap so as to allow more veterans to get their treatments through their hospitals. We'll have no difficulties getting enrolled, now, as that was the only thing standing in our way when Bill applied a few years back.

The reason that's such good news is that our physician has sold his private practice and joined a group of physicians. We could keep seeing him (as well as any of the others in that group), but they don't accept the medical insurance provided for us by the military. I suspect the VA will accept it!

After a spectacularly wet Spring, our vegetation is celebrating. The grass wants to be mowed every week, the Mimosa are growing like weeds (some say they are weeds), and our mower keeps running out of gasoline. We have a new gallon, now, so guess what Bill will be doing in just a few minutes.

Until the next time...
