It came to me in a flash...
...while I was getting my hair cut less than an hour ago. No more doctors! That's what we need. This is the best reason for us to go to Prescott for what's left of the season. We need to stop taking Mom to see doctors for awhile unless we have an emergency.
    Of course I'll make sure she's registered at the Veteran's Hospital and clinic there. We'll have her eyes checked, take her in for a dental check and cleaning and they'll be there in case of emergency but we don't need to have doctors examining her for awhile, now. We could use some doctor-free time, both of us. We don't need doctors checking on us, we don't need doctors mulling over what I'm doing and telling me I'm doing it wrong, we don't need doctors telling me she needs some procedure that they later tell me she didn't need after it's done, we don't need doctors refusing to think out loud with me, we don't need doctors for awhile. A few doctor free months will do us a world of good, I think.
    I just announced this to Mom as I walked in the door. She agrees. After next week they can bother some of their other patients. We'll spend the next few months getting clear on the doctor experience without their help.
    Although Shakespeare wrote, "Kill all the lawyers," doctors should have been included, and I'll bet he knew that...it just didn't fit into "Henry VI".
    Whew! Now, maybe we can enjoy life, again!
