Shanspirations

Today, I can gratefully report, I was seen by my doctor. My own real doctor.
He is a very good doctor, but just so busy that up until now my husband and I saw others in the same practice (my husband’s doctor is in the same practice) as well as The Dreadful though Forgiven Dermatologist [...]
