[Ohio-talk] some thoughts and humor

[Cheryl Fields]

E, you were very diplomatic, smiles. Everyone in Columbus probably has
a photo of you with the caption, don't mess with him always ask how
you may assist him and do not pull out the wheel chair, lol!
On a serious note, I will be having some pt in this same building and
will be armed with literature and will offer to provide a little
training. My doctor has been in this building for about 30 years. I
started with her when she began her practice. We had our growing pains
way back in the past and it looks like folks are retireing, working
less hours and some years ago a there was a blind guy in x ray, you
know lots of changes. Hopefully I will be in a better mood when I go
back next week, have new pain meds and stuff for my sinus infection
smiles, need prayers! C
