KELLY'S LONDON DOCTOR PHONED HER......AND SNOW-SNOW-SNOW:((

IN DOWNTOWN BAYFIELD IT IS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS AGAIN
After looking out our living room window first thing this morning I had no desire to go outside.  Cold, gray, and snowing with a temperature of 16F.  But, I know how much Pheebs looks forward to her morning Jeep ride so out we went anyway.  Needless to say, we didn't go too far but at least we got out and went somewhere, even if it was only into Bayfield and back.  Everything looked very Christmasy.

 ANOTHER SNOWY DRIVE INTO BAYFIELD

 A LONE WALKER AND HIS DOG ON BAYFIELD'S SOUTH PIER
Our day remained snowy, cold, and depressing.  I topped up the bird feeders but couldn't drum up any enthusiasm for walking my snow shovel around the snow paths I had previously cleared.

 I'LL BET THIS GULFSTREAM TRAVEL TRAILER IS WISHING IT WAS  DOWN SOUTH SOMEWHERE
HARD TO IMAGINE SAILBOATS WILL BE DOCKED HERE IN A FEW SHORT MONTHS

 THIS PHOTO TO ME SHOUTS OUT, STOP-STOP-STOP!!
Becoming increasingly frustrated with her medical condition Kelly, in desperation emailed her University Hospital Doctor a couple of days ago and yesterday he phoned her.  He is going to refer her to a Nephrologist for a special procedure.  Although a Nephrologist is a kidney doctor, there is a procedure similar to kidney dialysis whereupon the blood is removed from a person, cleaned of toxins, and returned.  Liver Dialysis This may or may not temporarily help with the terrible itching Kelly experiences daily.  They (Kelly and the Doctor) talked a bit about a liver transplant but it wasn't encouraging.  It was made clear to Kelly that her age is against her.  A few other things were made clear as well so for now we'll await a call from the Nephrologist Doctor and go from there.   

 SOME BAYFIELD SHOPS ARE OPEN AND ALREADY THERE ARE A COUPLE OF HARDY SHOPPERS  AT THE DOOR WITH CUPS OF HOT COFFEE OR CHOCOLATE IN HAND
 I THINK BY THE LOOK ON HIS FACE THIS FISHING BOAT CAPTAIN IS FEELING THE COLD  DEPRESSING DAY AS WELL
 IT WAS A RATHER BLEAK-LOOKING MAIN STREET IN BAYFIELD THIS MORNING
 MANY TIMES OVER THE WINTER YEARS WE HEADED SOUTH DOWN THIS HIGHWAY HEADING FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN SOUTHWEST
Nine years ago today we took Pheebs to a Veterinary Clinic in Wickenburg Arizona for her second rattlesnake anti-venom shot.  Pheebs Had An Appointment With The Vet Today

GROANER'S CORNER:((  Earl and Bubba are quietly sitting in a boat fishing, chewing tobacco and drinking beer when suddenly Bubba says, "Think I'm gonna divorce the wife... she ain't spoke to me in over 2 months."  Earl spits overboard, takes a long, slow sip of beer and says, "Better think it over... women like that are hard to find."

What do you call a parade of rabbits hopping backwards?  A receding hare-line.

A Sunday school teacher was teaching her young students about Noah and the ark. She asked them what they thought Noah may have done to pass the time in the ark for forty years. After waiting a few moments, the teacher suggested, “Maybe he did a lot of fishing. How about that?”One little boy gave her a funny look and said, “I don't think so. It’s kinda hard to fish with just two worms!”

  1. I;m surprised that tree hanging over Bayfield's main street hasn't fallen to the road by now.

  2. OK then. A fine snowstorm with beautiful photos, and maybe a possibility for Kelly to get some relief. What a hard road she's had. Here's wishing you all the best possible..

  3. Sure hope this doctor can help Kelly to feel better. The snow is beautiful. I would much rather see the weather like this than what we always seem to have. Cold and dreary with temperatures around the freezing mark, turning everything to an ugly slush. I'm glad Pheebs takes you out so you don't just sit in your easy chair all winter waiting for Spring.

  4. The snow flakes in your photos were huge!!! Like you I am not a fan of 16°F but I must say your photos captured the beauty of a winter snow storm. Keep the fires going for Pheebs. Hoping Kelly gets some relief with this new procedure as it sounds unbearable with what she is going through. Aren't you glad Pheebs convinced you to keep the Jeep just for rides like this?

  5. That vet is the one we took Emmi to for her sudden urinary incontinence. The meds our Montana vets had tried weren't working stressing Emmi and us. That vet gave Emmi a human estrogen pill which she takes to this day--and our vets in Montana started using that same pill for all their other patients with urinary incontinence. Sure hope this procedure helps Kelly--this has been a tough time for her and I think of her often.

  6. I'm so sorry about Kelly's situation. Hopefully this procedure will help. Loved the pictures of Pheebs at the vet. She's such a good girl.

    I am so sorry Kelly has to endure so much with her condition. Hoping the referral gets her some relief and an appointment is arranged quickly.

  9. I hope Kelly finds a solution soon. I love the photos but not the fact that you are there to take them. Hopefully better weather comes soon, although by all accounts it really hasn't been a terrible winter.
