Grateful for Medical Personal

7 November 2022 I am celebrating the good news that since my most recent lab work results were so good that I can bypass the annual MRI until a year from now. That reprieve means a lot to me. Having several medical conditions and quite a group of doctors is a huge challenge. This year I received another new General Practitioner (6 in 6 years), a new Dermatologist and a new OBGYN. I still have the same ENT who is wonderful, the same Podiatrist and the same Endocrinologist. I worked with hearing aid specialists, had my vision reviewed and got reinstated with my dentist after getting bumped to someone else during Covid. My foot care home nurse who is moving and I will surely miss her. Gained a new house cleaner who is fantastic. Had my blood pressure monitored for 24 hours. The greatest blessings is that many of my doctor visits are by phone or sending messages with pictures as needed. I am very grateful for everyone of these medical personal. I am thankful for having survived having Covid. Learning how to work within the medical systems is amazing. Mostly I learned how wonderful it is to have so many people to assist me with living.

Serendipity in the Process of Writing

In the process of writing a family history book and it seems every time I pause in writing up pops something else that I need next. This week I found an online index of NEHGS and Essex County Vital Records for the town books up to 1850. This lead me to an easy resource for those records on Internet Archive. I should have made a list of these occurrences. Serendipity is one focus of my personal blog: gophergenealogy.blogspot.com
