Last night I woke up 3 times in severe throbbing pain. My teeth again. This pain is so intense that I cry, (I am not a cryer). One move of my head the wrong way and it starts. Yesterday the pain started at 2 in the afternoon. I couldn’t eat, afraid to open my mouth.…

Since my physical, 2 weeks ago, I have been trying to schedule my yearly mammogram. Easy, right? Let me tell you. I called right away, (Bon Secours), and after 15 minutes was connected. Person on phone took all of my information including medical coverage ID numbers and all. I was on hold while she looked…

I am overwhelmed with new posts in my mind. This blog was going to be called, “A Full Mind,” for self explanatory reasons, but it was already taken, therefore “My Boomer Mind” was born. I want to dedicate myself more to writing, but I get overwhelmed easily and therefore don’t know where to begin or…

I weigh 146.6, which is consistent with my physical last week. Since I’ve been told that my cholesterol is on the border of taking medication, I have stopped (cut down a lot) of sugar. I still have instant oatmeal packets, (with less sugar) and MultiGrain Cheerios. No more ice cream, even though I bought low…

Finally after 3 years I can get a teeth cleaning; Every year I’ve gone and they’ve found some problem, which they fixed and left no insurance money for the cleaning. They still found another problem. My right lower molar had to be pulled. This is a relief because there was a big hole underneath. He…

I had my yearly physical yesterday. I was looking forward to it for two reasons; I got to actually see the doctor, and I’m having a lot of physical problems I need to discuss. First thing was recording my weight, 147 lbs, I thought I gained but she said I was down 2 lbs. from…

I was hoping I would be a little less this month but my weight is 145.4, so much for that. I am eating less, but I am also eating a lot of peanut butter. I’m thinking the health benefits outweigh the fat and sugar. Wrong

I have always thought of myself as an introvert. I love (need) my time alone. I am a homebody. This is my safe place. My hobbies, reading, crafting, being outdoors in nature and gardening are how I achieve peace by myself. I don’t like distractions. When I was on the beach or in the woods…

This is obvious, since I haven’t written a post in about 2 weeks. Nothing is happening right now. There is no gardening since the temperature is above 90 daily. We have not gone anywhere and except for volunteering 2 days a week, (which is saving me in more ways than one) I do the usual…

I have two doctors, one is my neurologist and then my primary care doctor. They are becoming harder and harder to see. My neurologist, Dr. Oh, works out of VCU, (Virginia Commonwealth University). This is not an official MS Center, he happens to specialize in MS studies and patients. I have been seeing him for…
