Spring is on the way

Lex did take me down to get the phone battery replaced, but it turned out I had to leave it there for a few hours.  So Doug drove me back, and I now have a working phone again.  It seems to be holding the charge.  Fingers crossed.

I thought I'd have a look at the terrace for some flowers, and found these daffodils surrounding a rose bush that is in bud.   I'm encouraged to think that Spring really is on the way.

I learned something really disturbing today.  As of March 31, Medicare (with a few exceptions) will no longer pay for telehealth visits.  Patients will only be able to see a provider in office.  This is a dreadful move.  Patients will have to wait months to see a doctor - for an example, I was able to get a telehealth appointment to see my doctor in three weeks; the first available in office visit was in five months.  I haven't heard of any group or organization trying to stop this.  Is this news to you too?
