A Happy Fancy Nancy is Getting Better

After lots of tests Fancy Nancy is finally feeling better. She used baby food and an over the counter acid reducer to help healing. So far, it is working. This week I have interviewed many doctors . My favorite one is at Lahey Clinic and I will see her in May. She is fabulous and helps me out as needed. I am lucky to have wonderful Dr. Barto in my life.

Fancy Nancy Says: You are lucky when you have a caring doctor. Everyone needs one.

Fancy Nancy Has A Medical Day

Fancy Nancy needed to find a GI doctor to help with stomach issues. Everyplace she went, they told her in three weeks. " But I am sick now, I replied". No one seemed to care. As a result I was lucky to have an apt. with my endocrinologist who booked some tests for tomorrow.

My own diagnosis I shared with the doctor. She said , " If you are right , I will hire you". Oh well, this could be my next career. In any case my body is keeping me busy.

Fancy Nancy Says: Sometimes you need to be your own doctor. Should I call myself Dr. Fancy Nancy?

A Fabulous Time With Lynn

Enjoyed a wonderful time with Lynn on Sat. and Sun. So lucky to have a wonderful daughter. Working on medical issues this week. Time will tell. Pasting the body together can be a full time job as we age.

Fancy Nancy Says: With luck the body parts will be pasted back together. Aging is not for sissies.

Harry Fixed My Frozen Blog

I am lucky that I have some wonderful students. Today Harry came to help me out and he corrected my frozen blog. These computers are great when they work and a pain when they have problems.

My students are gems and I am lucky to have them. We help each other . They are all my age. ( 25x???) Glad to have my blog back.

Fancy Nancy Says: Teaching has great benefits.

Interesting Day

Met a couple from Israel and spent several hours trying to help them with dentists names . My finance class had no students so I spent the time talking with this couple. Also booked several medical apts. with skin doctors and plastic surgeons. I have a skin issue that needs attention. I had previously visited several skin doctors who saw no problem . Then I had a biopsy done, and there is a problem. Now I have to handle the problem. The issue next is which doctor is best for some facial surgery due to the results of a biopsy. It seems that even when you go to doctors, they make mistakes.

Fancy Nancy Says: Believe in yourself, sometimes the doctors make mistakes.Trust your gut and get second opinions and even third opinions.

Working At the Chamber

I am using the computer at the Chamber since my blog has problems online with aol. I hope top learn how to do a quick restore. If I am unable to do it, then I have a wonderful student who will help me out. I love my teaching and other jobs because you meet lots of nice folks.


Fancy Nancy Says: I just met a family from Norway and they get both maternity and paternity leaves for 5 weeks. Shall we all move to Norway?? No it is too cold in the winter.

Fancy Nancy Struggles With AOL

My AOL program has not allowed me to post for several days. I think the software is broken. I just got through on internet explorer. I think I will have to find out how to do a quick restore for AOL. Does anyone out there know how to do that? Hope so.

Keep in touch.

Fancy Nancy Says: AOL often has problems. Not a great server.

Fancy Nancy Medical Day

Today I went to the skin doctor who did two biopsies on my face. I asked the doctor if I could swear while he was doing his work. He said it was okay. As a result when he injected my nose with a numbing agent, I expressed my thougths. I said, " Oh shit!". Well, I had not seen this skin doctor in 13 years, I had used others in the interim.

My hope is that the results will be okay. I will know next week. In any case, if they have to do more surgery, I am in the right place. This doctor has been doing his thing for many years. Maybe I will be lucky and I won't need more work. Time will tell.

Fancy Nancy Says: There are times when it feels good to swear. Today was one of those times. Swearing is okay at times. Why not!

Fun New Class

Today I started teaching at the Carlisle. It is an independent living facility and the students are all seniors. There were 6 in the class, and I will do a 4 part series. We will meet 3 more times this month and they will each work on a project. I do love having the opportunity to work with students.

Fancy Nancy Says: It is so nice when you love your work.

Meeting New Clients

Today I met with a potential new client . It is always amazing to hear about their lives. Who knows what is true and what is not. In any case, it makes for interesting listening.

Just learned that I have to research new jobs for this summer. Sent out some proposals to see what might work. Getting summer jobs is tough since there is lots of competition.

Fancy Nancy Says: Nothing comes in life without some effort.

Delightful Day on Sanibel and Captiva

Today we took a ride to Sanibel Island and Captiva. Although it was quite windy, we enjoyed seeing both areas. I took about 40 minutes to get there, but it was a good afternoon to visit both areas.

Florida has many areas we have never seen.

Fancy Nancy Says: It is fun to try a new adventure!

New Car Key Costs are Outrageous

Would you belive that making a car key cost $152.50. What happened to the days when you paid $3 to have a duplicate car key. I am reading the bill: $77.16 for labor,$58.99 for parts, misc. charges$7.72 and ofcourse tax$8.63.

Fancy Nancy Says: The price of a new car key is outrageous. Do we have a choice? No, not if you need a spare key. Wow!
