VH,you are in my prayers every morning.I hope that medicine does what it's supposed to,and you get to pursue ol' Wile e. Coyote again real soon.
It is a scorcher here too,but nothing like it is there. There are trees all over my part of the country,which makes it nice and shady mostly.Sometimes you can actually cool off here by going outside and sitting under a shade tree.Although we've had way too much rain,it's nice after it's been hot when a cool rain shower comes along for about 15 minutes and cools everything down.
I have found keepind a cool,damp washrag around helps a lot too.
