Hello Folks and Happy Opening Day of Baseball! Spoke to Natalie a short time ago, in her words "it was ugly, but I won". So there you have it! She won 4-2. The match stats tell a different story. She served three aces, no double faults and five breaks. Her opponent served zero aces, had five double faults and had three breaks. Natalie won sixty-three points compared to the opponents 46 points. These solid stats prove that the match wasn't ugly. Often a player's view of the match is waaaayyyy different then the reality of what happened. Often a player thinks they played much better then they did or even a lot worse then they did.
Our gal will play second on after ten, not before 11:30 a.m. Which of course is secret tennis world code for 11:30ish. Nat will play Natalie Suk of USA. The two have played one time prior, in Macon, October 2013. Pluskota took Suk down 1,2 in Macon. Should be a good match of tennis, with the winner advancing into the main draw.
Half the doubles draw will begin tomorrow, but not our half. Therefore, our 4th seeded team of Natalie and Sam will play on Wednesday. They will face the American Wild Card team of Terry Fleming and Meridith Roberts. I don't know these young ladies and do not believe Nat has faced either in the past.

This evening Natalie is helping out with the ProAm for the members of the club. Something she always looks forward to participating in. Sure hope she remembered the camera so we have some memories to post.
Had to take Nana to the neurologist today. And she has been suffering mini strokes, something I've been trying for five weeks to convince ER doctors at two different hospitals was happening. The doc was using one of the CT scans taken at the second ER visit to make diagnosis. How sad that our brand new hospital let this slip thru.....sooo scary and pitiful! Nana has been getting progressively worse, one has to wonder if they did a better job would she be partial paralyzed right now?? Anyway, we have found an awesome doctor who I'm sure will at least make the correct plan of action. On Wednesday she goes for a test to see if the swelling in right arm is from a blood clot. Then on Friday she will have three MRIs to see if the spinal cord is being pinched from swelling. We will be starting home health care.
So ...as for me....I'm planning to trek to Jackson on Thursday. Then over the weekend Nat and I will trek to Pelham for the next tourney. Being Pelham is only two hours away and they are only performing tests, I think its ok for me to get a break and hit the road.
As you can see ...just another boring day around here! Hopefully, I'm going to get my Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Paddy's Day.....TREE down before I leave. But hey, if not.....I'll just toss some Easter eggs on it before I leave. hahahahhahaha Only so many hours in my day! Love and Blessing.....Sherry!
