Hi Nancy!

 DS>>> I won't get them. With COVID-19 across the country, and financial
 DS>>> issues...and now discovering I have an umbilical hernia, I think my
 DS>>> travel days outside of central Arkansas are over. :'(
 NB>>> You may still be able to get them.... COVID-19 won't last forever,
 NB>>> so the travel restrictions will be lifted from that... the hernia is
 NB>>> easily repaired, more than likely... and eventually the financial
 NB>>> will permit it also.... :)
 BM>> FWIW they're allowing some elective surgeries in Iowa and Illinois
 BM>> starting either tomorrow (April 26th) or the beginning of May.
 NB>> I've heard rumors of elective surgeries being soon allowed here, as
 NB>> well... :)
 BM> Daryl hopes to have his umbilical hernia resolved in a few weeks;
 NB> And that will be good... :)

Yes, not sure of his degree, just I know in general it's not good in
general when "one spills their guts", especially if the part becomes
strangulated.  ...And now I have a picture of a kewpie doll or whatever
they're called where one squeezes and the head/body/appendages 'explode'
out.


 BM> I need to have a colonoscopy done - no rush, just slightly overdue on
 BM> the five-year.  At this point Scott County is still 'closed' so not
 BM> considering.
 NB> I'm sure your GI's office will be calling to schedule once things
 NB> start to open up.... Meanwhile, I just got a call from mine, that
 NB> the rescheduled appt for June 8 needed to be pushed farther out,
 NB> to July 15... at least I'm not overdue on my next colonoscopy
 NB> yet... :)

I received a reminder card last Fall so might not be getting anythign 
further; will call to schedule a short while after things re-open here.


 BM>> An e-mail from my optometrist's office said they're starting to take
 BM>> appointments again starting May 5 -- Tuesday; maybe using Monday to
 BM>> get the facility clean and dusted. <g>
 NB>> And/or sanitized.... :)  I should call and see if things are opening
 NB>> up that way here as well.... ;)
 BM> Today is May 5th -- I don't recall getting a 'for-certain' e-mail from
 BM> them last week.  Do need to have the left contact lens/eye checked --
 BM> again that's not a must-do-now thing.
 NB> Now that it's May 11th, have you heard anything from them...?  I
 NB> still haven't checked on my doctor's office....

They're reopening next Monday (May 18th), though "no new fittings for
contact lenses through the month of June".  The e-mail also included 
several new rules including temperature reading on entering, multiple 
hand cleanings as move from section to section, masks, spacing of 
appointments to minimize contact with out patients.
