Why........why...........why

I get the pictures and words nicely lined up then post and their all over the place. Why is that?

A few pictures

I was trying again to get that perfect picture.

Here are the results.........

You get them in place, say don't move, then snap
the picture..................... look at the picture and
see that they moved.

Bob and Dorothy gave Joseph a bowl with Thomas on it. Dorothy
told him it was a popcorn bowl. So Saturday we had a little
popcorn. He was pretty excited about it.

Another ride for the chickens................ a cold one. Their off to the
farm where they will lay their eggs. (Dan mentioned more

probably survive a cold trip than in the summer)

Just think it won't be long and I might post some pictures of new calves.

Yesterday

We made our trip to Madison early yesterday morning. We took Joseph to Bob and Dorothy V so we wouldn't be distracted at the doctors appointment. After the appointment we picked up Joseph and visited a couple ladies in the nursing home there in Madison. We wish we would have made the trip to see Agnes again. After we got home we found out she had a stroke on Wednesday morning and again yesterday. Agnes has her 107th birthday coming up in April. We feel really bad we didn't go on down there.

What we learned at the doctor visit but not sure we totally understand yet what can we do...........
This is how I understand it..........
*Things aren't as bad as we thought. Out of the 3 test Dan had only one indicates severe leakage. So since the other two don't show it they decided to go with medical therapy (medicine)
*Dan does not have two of the symptoms that go with the mitral valve problem - retaining fluid and shortness of breath. So another reason to try medicine.
*Taking the medicine is to shrink the enlarged heart. The medicine lowers the blood pressure and slows the heart. Then it is not working so hard and shrinks back down in size.
*If there is a severe problem with the valve then surgery is something they would want to do soon before any more damage is done.
*Doctor doesn't really know why Dan is so tired. I got the impression that he doesn't think it is his heart.
*Doctor doesn't feel like there is any reason why Dan can't continue the line of work he is in. As far as Dan's back................ that is not in the doctors department.
*His next appointment is April 13 and they will do another test which should tell us what the medicine has accomplished. Until then.......................... we wait.

My thought on the matter......................... to many different medical opinions is very confusing. Yet it would be nice to have another one outside the VA system.
