I was looking forward to this because I had several questions for my doctor. First of all, I like this doctor, a general practitioner, a female who also does my gynecological checkup. She remembers me and is aware of the challenges I face. I am totally honest with her and she is the same. Example…

This is how I am feeling. I can’t stop eating. I’m always hungry. After a 6:00 dinner of baked salmon, steamed broccoli w/lemon juice and a yam, and a cappuccino at 7:30. Less than 2 hours later P brings in a bag of lime tortilla chips and carrot hummus , I totally pig out. It…

For the past week I’ve been feeling dizzy. My equilibrium is off more than usual. I almost fell getting out of the shower. Luckily I had the safety towel bar to grab onto. Automatically I tense up, feeling like I will fall and I hate that feeling. Each time this happens, I’ve been able to…

As I was signing on today a popup came on asking if I wanted a free consultation so I answered a few questions and signed up. I immediately received a call from Taj. I asked him questions that I had lined up as far as editing the site menu, importing pictures and if I could…

As I was flicking through channels last week I came across, QVC. They were featuring an iRobot i7 + WiFi Self Emptying Robotic Vacuum, that you control using your phone. The price was $399. w/free S&H. I quickly went on Amazon to check the price and the same one was 699. I knew it was…

This morning…. 136.8 lbs. To be expected since I have been to Bruster’s, http://Bruster’s three times in the past few weeks, two waffle cones and one banana split, (even though I substituted that for dinner). Have also eaten out and made BBQ ribs in the crockpot, with corn on the cob. P. has been home…

I have to pee, real bad, all of a sudden. As I push my walker towards the bathroom, I’m saying “please God let me make it, Please?” I sit down, say, “thank you” and nothing! This happens every day, its called hesitation. I am taking Trospium Chloride ER caps, 60 mg. once daily in the…

Since my essay was published in Brain & Life, I have received several responses. I’m thrilled that all of them have been positive. I also have notifications that two people have subscribed. I have responded to the comments made, (approved and replied) some I thanked for their input and others I answered questions, I have…

I have a love/hate, no I don’t, I certainly don’t love and I don’t altogether hate social media. Social media boggles my mind. I find it too much to take in. I’m a self titled “phone-o-phobe,” so why would I like people expecting me to quickly reply to a text, and then feel guilty for…

In the meantime I have been planning a surprise 60th birthday party for P in October. His birthday is the 2nd and I’m planning it for Saturday the 1st. I had previously sent his family a save the date email. I’ve been speaking to my son because he will be handling most of it since…
