Unfortunately there are just too many of them. I do think of everyone often and always send special thoughts your way.
We made the move from Sitka, AK to Kingsland, GA (just above Jacksonville, FL). We're finally getting settled this week and I'm still trying to find my groove here.
My last appointment in May went well. My 1 year mark passed us by while we were on the road and I'll get to play catch up with Dr. Goldman in Jacksonville on Sept. 24th. I'm looking forward to meeting him and then again scared that I left a Doctor that I loved behind. I guess there's always a big adjustment in this game too.
Thanks Linda aka ElCee for the recommendation.

Christine, not sure if you'll see this, but how is your son? Getting used to the military way of life?
