I'm Under the Weather
I don't feel all that well and even considered going to an Urgent Care office today to get some help. I suffer with sinus and allergies, and while in NY my eyes were itchy. I don't know the culprit but I remember ragweed being a problem in the fall when I lived in Cincinnati. My eyes still bother me from time to time since I'm back in CA, plus all the other allergy symptoms I usually experience, the worst being a sore throat. I bought throat lozenges yesterday but they leave such an awful taste that I don't think I'll continue them.I heard from the grapevine that my primary care physician has resigned, which is why I considered the Urgent Care. I think she has serious health concerns and I hope she can overcome them, but now I don't know what to do if and when I need a doctor. Maybe if I'm careful I won't need one!The mobile home park is sealing the streets this week, and today is the day for my street. It looks like I'm stuck at home so I couldn't see a doctor if I wanted to. I took a low dose aspirin this morning which helps a little with the throat. I was taking low dose aspirin every day until one morning I got sick and tired of my arms and hands looking battered, so now I take a tablet a couple of times a week. I bought throat lozenges yesterday but they leave such an awful taste that I don't think I'll continue along that line.On the way to Jeannie's house I stopped by the city's best donut shop yesterday morning and picked up a box of 1 dozen assorted donuts. I ate 3 glazed donuts and could have probably made quick work of a few more, but I left some for Donald and the girls. Jeannie had two of them herself. I was so happy to see her up and looking well the day after her surgery. She had not taken Percoset since the previous evening (day of surgery) and hopes to be able to do without it from now on. She was having some discomfort, but seems to be on the road to recovery.

Rainy Day
Well we did get some rain, and at 4pm the streets are wet again. I'm going to meet Jeannie & Donald at the gym in about 2 hours, and I'll be driving both ways in the dark. I hate that. It's also chilly, about 61 degrees,...

Back To The Doctor
I'm trying to keep up with blog reading, but am not commenting as much as I usually try to do. It's after 3:00 pm and I'm still in pajamas, and doubt I'll get dressed today. I called to try to get an appointment with...

Enough Of This!
I had my post op visit yesterday and hit a whopping 105.2 on the scale! I've had enough of this craziness and have made up my mind I'm going to get well, gain weight, and get back to living again, as soon as I can manage it all. The visit...
