So, I survived the night and am now officially 29, which means I have one more year until I am officially “old.” Quick joke to start the day – no offense, but I’m quite sure I’ll get some juicy feedback for that line.
Playing in the New England Medical Equipment Dealers (NEMED) Golf Tournament today and am excited to catch up with some industry folks from around New England who I haven’t seen in quite a while. We’ll talk about the standard stuff; new commode models, the hot adult-diaper upgrades for ’08, etc. NEMED is a wonderful organization; I just know a lot of you wonder what we get into at these industry events, conferences, etc. and I’m well aware that several of my college friends are fascinated by some of the equipment and products we deal in. The events are great for networking and talking to other providers about what’s working in their area and catching up with the vendors on what they’re doing and putting together for the future – then there’s the inevitable legislative discussions focusing on the woes of dealing with Medicare and what they’ll do next to stifle our industry. But I’m quite sure many of you say, “a medical equipment dealer’s conference…that must be a blast,” and truth be told it is. There are some really great people in our industry and we manage to have a good time when we can get together.
Tonight it’s dinner with the family and then we’re off to Newport tomorrow morning. We have another wedding on the Cape Saturday and then the Cape & Islands United Way Best Night of the Year on Sunday. So it’s a busy weekend and I’ll be AWOL for a while…physically I feel wonderful and my spirits are very high as I look forward to getting back CT Scan results next Tuesday from Dr. Aviles.
I thank everyone for their wonderful words of support for our entire family, particularly for my dad, who is home and doing very well and is VERY excited for the wedding and all the festivities. I look forward to some good news next week and hope everyone has a wonderful weekend…Gary
