A quick text message

I decided to take K into the doctor's this week as he was having a lot of nosebleeds. He's susceptible to allergic rhinitis at this time of year and takes a corticosteroid nasal spray to alleviate symptoms. The doctor recommended a new type of spray that he says is better, so we decided to it a try as he gave us a free sample bottle.

Anyway, I noticed the receptionist had a bruise on her cheek so I decided to ask her what happened. We've known her for a long time. She said she was running in the summer and tripped and fell straight into the pavement. That was about 3 months ago and the bruise still hasn't disappeared. She said she was lucky because she hit her front teeth but didn't end up losing them. I'd estimate she's in her late forties, so I told her it might be time to stop running, seriously!

K is off on a school canoe trip up north this week. It may be quite cold, so we've been gathering all his gear. They'll be camping in tents and making bonfires. They're all very excited as it will be an adventure. I'm trying not to worry too much.

L is busy studying for midterms, playing volleyball, and there was a school semi-formal recently. I know this because she sent me a quick text message.

The cardiologist had a fairly good report for my mother this week. She had some shortness of breath and suspected heart problems in the past month. The stress test found no blockages. The echocardiogram and holter monitor tests held no surprises. Her heart isn't perfect, but it's doing ok for now, follow up in six months. I've decided I like the cardiologist, he seems to be doing all the right things.
