That Time of Year Again

Hi Vicki,
We love you and Paul both. I went in this morning to get my tests only to find out they were not ready for me. I didn't go to my oncologists office and instead went with my PCP to get my lipids panels and such. I got it backwards. I shoulda told my PCP to tell my oncology center what test she wanted...lol.

Oh well. I'll report later. Good luck with the good things. And big congrats on your daughters wedding.

Say hi to Paul.

And say hi to the upcoming zeros...

Love and Peace...

Tony
