thyroid attacked

Evelyn had made last night. They had never heard of it but liked it very much. Tom even came up with some different ways to serve it as something other than a breakfast. They left for Mexico to have dental work done and get medicine for their dogs. We worked on chopping the vegetables that we placed into the slow cooker with the beef for the pot roast. We plugged it in on the porch to keep the house cool. We then went to the bank to get a new debit card for use on our trip, to the Ship and More to mail a package to the Grotrians, and to the hospital for Evelyn’s thyroid biopsy. We had to wait a while so we went to the doctor to ask that his nurse administer our typhoid inoculations. She was at lunch so we had to wait there as well. She finally returned and gave them to us and stamped our international card. Back to the hospital and more waiting. The appointment was for 1 and we left the hospital after 3. Evelyn was a bit woozy from the Valium she had been given but wanted to go to Big Lots for something to use in decorating our bicycles or golf cart for Friday’s parade. The biopsy had hurt more than we had anticipated but she got through it. We found some things she wanted and decided to make us into a gingerbread couple. This started as a search for decorations and turned into a costume party. We came home and beat Tom and LuAnne by 20 minutes. We ate some hors doerves and drank wine for a while before eating our salad and dinner. The meat was fabulous and delicious. We had some of the apple pie with the oatmeal crust for dessert and then watched some TV. Before long everyone had retired but who had this blog to write. Our friends leave tomorrow morning and we lead the Bible study soon after. Evelyn wants to exercise in the morning despite having the doctor and our guests (retired army physical therapists) advising against it. I won’t let her exercise. I will accompany her to unlock the cabinet but not let her stay. We won't get the biopsy results for 2 days and then can think about yellow fever vaccine.
