Lots of NEWs

New #1:

I've developed a new medical issue. My left hand is numb. It first started with the pinky and ring finger and has spread up to my elbow. It's not completely numb but feels like it's asleep and really tight. Anyway, I went to the doctor and they thought it could be a pinched nerve but couldn't figure out where. So I have to make an appointment with my neurologist to get an EMG done (a test to figure out if a nerve is pinched somewhere and the location).

New #2:

I got a new car. Yaaaaaaaaay! I'd had the Toyota for seven years and it was just time to upgrade...especially with all the car deals going on. I don't have pictures yet but I got a Pontiac Torrent and love it! It's great on gas (for an SUV), great for the insurance and great for the payment. This car actually doesn't cost any more than my other car did. WOOT!

New #3:

I got a new JOB. As you all probably know, they eliminated my position at Excelsior and I was having to do some medical transports temporarily until something permanent opened up. I started looking outside the company and found a great case manager position working with adult males in community corrections. I'm so excited for this! It's a great opportunity for growth!

Wow, that is a lot of news. I really hope you love your new job, cause I know how much you loved the last one. So does this mean you won't be making it to the reunion? I'm hoping not, but I understand how it is to start a new job. Maybe if they hired you on, knowing you had a family thing, they'd give it to you off. Anyhow, you better figure out that numb arm thing. I've had that happen to me before a couple of times. It eventually went away, but better to have it checked out. And I can't wait to see the pictures of the new car. I love that new car smell.

Pinched nerves are no good. I hope they find it soon. Hurray for the new car though! That is great. I have to look that up on line because I have never even seen that car.
I am so glad that you are excited aboout your new job!
