Well in Jan. I going to have blood work for uric acid and hopefully it not gout. The doctor says that all males should be test once a year for uric acid

Getting the test is a good idea.  Since I suffer from gout, I can tell you a bit about it. 

First, if it is gout, treat it fast.  The longer it remains untreated, the more frequent and severe the future attacks become.  Before I started treatments for it, I had bouts like 5 to 6 times a year that lasted from a few days to a week or more. 

Since diagnosis and treatment, I only have one or two bouts a year. They usually last one day and are much less painful. I don't even see the doctor any more except to renew the prescription.  I get twelve pills, and they last me for over a year since I usually only take 2 to 3 each time I need them.  I take two pills when I first feel the pain coming on, then one the next day if the pain persists. I always have pills left over when I get new pills to replace the expired pills, so the cost is very cheap.    

Mayo Clinic has a great deal of information online about gout if you need more information.

Hi Clo!  Yes, we're going out for dinner Saturday night, and possibly to the Pheonix Club again after dinner.  How about your plans?

Nice thought, Nick.  But I'm willing to bet you take one look and start tearing off the wrapping to get to your present as fast as you can.

Sounds nice.

Saturday evening I'm hosting great-aunt and my uncle for dinner for a sorta Christmas dinner. There'll be fois gras on toasts, roast chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans, mini buches for dessert and of course champagne. But before that I have my doctor appointment at 8.30am (why oh why did I took the earliest appointment!) and some tidying and cleaning to do.

Sounds delightful Clo! 😃

Hi, Terry.

I just had a nice short walk through the woods and paddock. It's mild and sunny, and Cookie had a blast, running at top speed most of the time.
