Hi MF

That is very good news.

My doctor will be calling me today to discuss and I have a mind to rip her to shreds for putting me through all this crap. In my opinion the CMA and GPs have really dropped the ball by doing almost all things by phone. Phone diagnoses for possible heart issues? I don't frigging think so

I am with you on this... on my side doctors are more willing it see you now. For almost a year, I have not seen my GP or diabetes people.

My GP has an excuse...he lives/works in Lethbridge, Alberta...a 2 hour drive to Calgary. Before Covid he would come to the clinic here once per week. He is Russian and apparently many Russian/Ukrainian immigrants live in my area...we even have a Russian deli here. They like him as he speaks their language so they can communicate their problems easily to him...whereas they have trouble talking to English doctors.

He is very personable...even funny at times.

He talked to me about exercising more.... I told him I was lifting a moderate amount of weight regularly. He told me to flex my biceps and he smiled saying

"Yes...yes....I feel a little muscle here but you must do more..... dancing is good for you."

I replied "Dancing would be nice but I don't have a partner"

He dropped to the floor and pantomimed rowing on a machine.

"Then you must take up rowing then....it exercises almost your whole body....very good exercise"

I smiled at his actions....unfortunately gyms are closed to the public right now....but I intend to try it....He is a good guy.

Yes...we deserve our beers...looking forward to them.
