Friday Fill-Ins

I’m looking forward to spring, I’m seeing the first signs, I am so happy the winter is almost over. Why do I have to deal with pressure and stress on a daily basis and not just once in a while. How does this new editor work, anyway? Every morning, I put a cup of coffee [...]

I’m not a healthproblem, I’m a person.

Our own familydoctor/familyphysician has not only moved to a new house he has also added a new person to his practice. It’s a kind of nurse practitioner who has to watch over people with lungproblems. A few years ago diabetescare went to a person like that. I’ve never seen her. When we moved to this [...]

I can see spring is coming
