Brenda took me to what I thought was a toe specialist who turned out to be a general surgeon.
My family doctor made the appointment months ago because my toe was still giving me trouble and he suggested "I'll just take the pliers and pull out the toe nail after anaesthetising it"
I told him "No - if anyone does it - it will have to be a specialist because I'm diabetic."
And here we are with a very nice lady surgeon but not a toe specialist.
It all worked out because I told her in the meantime the toe had improved and as I'm almost ninety and not in the best of shape, I thought I'd manage without surgery and she agreed.
We had lunch at the "Afterthoughts" tea room which was very good food and I ordered a Mocha coffee not knowing it would come already sweetened but I drank it regardless.
While there, we got into the subject of young women ( 18 years old or so)who have a lot of potential, are top of their class and give up having a scholarship and career to be a stay-at-home mother.
It seems to me most of today's girls are deciding to choose the career and I wondered if that means families will consist of only one child in future or none and of course, the population of the white world will decrease more than it is now and when it spreads to China and India for example we will be like the talk of Aliens who come to abduct women here because they've been through the same thing and are not producing off-spring and their planet is finished. Whew!
Well I did my bit anyway!
Big day tomorrow at the bank etc.
Valerie Hundert got an award for working in the arts of Mission tonight but unfortunately, it was too much for me to go out again tonight so I wasn't there to cheer her on. She has been a wonderful worker for the culture here. Good for you Val!!
