A new year is coming, and it's just hours away. I look back over 2009, and there is so much for which to be thankful. We had a minor scare last night with Mama Ruth. Her heart beat was racing and I took her to the emergency room. She was checked out and seems to be ok. She has an appointment now with her doctor for more tests and hopefully they'll be able to find the cause.

My own trips to the doctor have been successful as well. My sinuses have almost completely cleared. I have also had a biopsy done on a spot on the side of my nose. I should see the results from that on Monday. If it's as we expect, I'll be back at the dermatologist on Friday to have it removed. I haven't had to go to the doctor in quite some time and now I have two appointments next week. One as a follow up for my sinuses and the other is the dermatologist. *sigh. I hate getting old, but it sure beats the alternative.
