My insurance plan sent this little booklet of 30 days of healthy living tips. Day 6 was to “schedule time for rest and relaxation” and came with this image: Clearly this booklet was made awhile ago. When was the last time you saw a PDA like this? (edit: apparently back in 1997 with it’s mindblowing…

Post MRI
Love’s MRI went quicker than expected. It was 20 minutes without contrast, then 6 more minutes with. They had chairs in the room so they had me lock up my purse and watch and I sat in the room with him. I read an old issue of People magazine that was in there. Couldn’t bring…
4th Week of August
This August is really long. It has five weeks in it. Today is the 4th Monday of the month and there’s another one next Monday. Odd. So I’m finally on the mend. My cold is definitely winding down. My nose and upper lip are healing up (they cracked and scaled from all the nose-blowing) and…
Kindness
Ever since being in the ER, I’ve had a whirlwind of emotions; fear, anxiety, anger, resentment but also gratitude, thankfulness, amazement and wonderment. With the exclusion of a very limited few who showed their ugly, inner true colors, almost universally, I’ve received the most positive support. Friends, family, acquaintances, and even strangers have been so…
$70 Prescription
Holy crap. I just had to spend $68.31 on ONE prescription for 28 days. I’m on the Lupron injection, right? And that puts me in a temporary menopause complete with all the way-fun symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, etc. So the doctor gave me three months worth of a very low dose…

New BP Meds – Day Two
Ok, so today is the second day of taking the new prescription, Lisinopril, today. I had to run to Wal-Mart for a few household items so I took my BP while I was there. Ready for this? 114/78 Holy crap, that’s the lowest it’s been in forever! Haven’t been feeling the groggy/sleepy thing today as…
Testing out phone
After three years, I got a new phone today. Its an LG Optimus M and its amazing! Holy crap its like a pc. Its an android too. My old phone was dying and this one was only $99 so I used my credit card to get it and also got 10% off and will get…
First Primary Care Dr. Visit
I had my first visit at the primary doctor’s office today. Love goes there so I’ve been there many times with him, but this was obviously my first visit for me. First off, blood pressure was 124/76. So that’s good. (Especially since it’s always worse at the doctor’s office. I always get a bit of…
Wednesday
It poured all day yesterday. I mean, all day long. That’s unusual for Florida to have hours and hours of sustained downpour like that. This morning, the sky rumbled and grumbled and let loose even more rain. It’s overcast now with scattered showers to continue through late afternoon. The good thing is that it keeps…
