Dear Amy,

How are things going? We never hear from you, so assume all is well in work and life. Any interesting ideas, projects, school, etc.?

Here is something for your mom, but it has sociological dimensions that may interest you as well. Initially, your mom submitted information on a new knee treatment, and now we have a written opinion from a doctor that says he will try it. That's a lot of social progress -- getting a written opinion from a doctor --- Kathy may enjoy this breakthrough.

We also have a bit of a breakthrough in getting support from a medical administrator to help doctors and the medical community work through the deep social conundrums that prevent improving communication. Your mom may appreciate this person's courage...

Again, hope all is well.

Sincerely,

Rod
