Progress !

I finally got to see a VA doctor.... They never answered any of their MO phone numbers so we drove to Springfield  Wednesday (yesterday) and walked in to the new clinic there without an appointment.  It worked.  Within 20 minutes or so I was referred to a "team" and was prescribed some pills for my  neuropathy foot pain.  They actually seem to help a little, which is great.  I was able to sleep most of the entire night in bed instead of sitting up in the living room.  Wowzers.
We worked on installing a new vanity in our "Master" bathroom today.  Towards the end of the day I started to drive around the corner and across the tracks to pick up some elbow fittings for the pipes.  The weather was getting dodgy but I turned around and parked the SUV and pulled out the Catrike, saddled up and rode IT to the hardware store.  It was so close it hardly even qualifies as a ride, but it was fun to get  out, even with the cold wind and spotty rain trying to bleep out of the foggy weather.
We also rode the Tandem Terratrike to the Senior Center for lunch and a bit of dancing Tuesday, which is almost a mile (Big Whoop) away.  Fun and a bit of exercise, what's not to like?
