Yesterday’s appointment with my Prosthetist went, well.  George seems more stable and my knee is healing.  When I returned home, I tackled that insurance snafu.  The fifth person to whom I spoke was the Billing Manager of the Radiation Oncologist, whose bill had been denied.  He said that they do have an approved referral, that there must be an error in the paperwork, and that he will get it approved.  That was almost painless.  Then I had to attend a community meeting  for Fair Market residents in my building.  And then I watched the convention.  That made George very nervous, and I has to assure him that this one is completely different from Rump Dump and his Rectumites.  Other than my normal chores, I have no more appointments this week.  That’s a good thing because it’s very hot and muggy.  Temperatures in the high 80\u00b0s and low 90\u00b0s are forecast for the next ten days and the humidity is sitting at 77%.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/font>[B]ernie Sanders fired up his supporters at the Democratic National Convention on Monday afternoon \u2014 until he mentioned the need to elect Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

While Sanders drew cheers when he trashed Donald Trump during his address, the audience erupted into boos when he said that \u201cwe have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine.\u201d<\/p>\n
