Thanks, Fred and Jeff for playing along. And for the kitchen-table link, which I do love.
Fred, my neck is fine–when I was sick, the doctor made out the ultrasound prescription to fill after I’d been well for three months, to make sure that there’s no lingering concerns. Of course, now that I’m feeling fine, it’s hard to bother getting it together to make an appointment.
