Results of the MRI were welcome news.No lesions,tumors or medical problems.However, the test showed a penchant for story telling, and a plot for a new novel.Seriously, even though I always anticipate the positive it is a relief to know that the hearing loss does not stem from anything serious.Today we leave for Italy and I never tire of visiting the land of my parents. A week in Lucca with a group of dear friends followed by a week in Bologna and Milan.I hope that there will be opportunities to find some wifi locales during the trip.
