Well, we are now back to work once again and the season is nearing an end. Pam has had her share of extra problems but even that seems to be moving in the right direction. Back in February, Pam had an alligator accident!

Actually, she was leaving the visitor center and as she did she was distracted by a visitor getting too close to an alligator and so stepped off of the curb and twisted her ankle. Thus her famous alligator injury.  In any case, she has had some problems with that leg ever since the accident and then to top everything off she got a really bad cold last week. But today she seems to be finally winning on the cold, after a doctor's visit. With asthma she usually needs medical help to beat a bad cold and the park had real problems with paperwork for her "on the job" injury so while she has seen a doctor, they want her to see a specialist that required special forms and it has taken three weeks to get that! But all seems to be heading in the right direction as she is now going back to work, although with restricted walking and using a cane. She will finally get to see the foot specialist in another ten days (you know how long it takes to get to see a doctor) and weather is nice so things look pretty good here. 

I had hesitated to post anything about the ankle, just because I was not sure exactly what to say or how that would end. Like so much of government, too many people trying to place blame for the wrong forms and too few who were willing to do what was needed to correct the problem! 

So all seems well with the world once again. It does look as though we may be held up on getting away with the treatment of Pam's ankle, but who knows. We are retired so I guess that we can always let something slide for a while!
