Thursday evening Pete and I went and got our updated COVID booster. We both have always gotten the Moderna vaccine. I thought nothing of it, I previously had no side effects. I felt fine the rest of the evening. I woke up on Friday feeling sore, tired and achy, with flulike symptoms. I attributed this […]
As you can see from my previous posts, I’ve been going to my yearly checkups; physical, blood work, dentist, eye doctor. My latest was my yearly mammogram. In all, my visits to these various appointments I have been using my walker. With accessible parking and the entrances close enough, this hasn’t presented a problem until […]
It is now Monday morning and I have gone three whole nights with no pain. On Friday the 13, (last post) we went food shopping at Kroger and I bought XS Acetaminophen 500 mg., (generic XS Tylenol), and got talked into buying Anbesol, gum number. This too, I bought generic. Anyhow. I took two of […]
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 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
