I think I have mentioned I am watching "Dexter" on Netflix? Well, this morning, there was a message on the screen about a problem with my debit card! Of course, I instantly knew what it was . I had to get a new one because of the problem with Target. I had changed the card…

Today's final test of the condition of my heart was interesting in a hurry-up-and-wait sort of way. Both Jake and I got a lot of Kindle time! I was the first one and had pictures taken of my heart in resting mode. I actually wasn't feeling very well because, first I was fasting which always…

Good morning! I am writing this at 5:30am while waiting for Jake to pick me up at 6:30  and take me to the people who will test my heart. My appointment is at 8:30 so why so early? Traffic! Whenever I have an appointment with a doctor I try {at Jake's request} to make it…

One of the things I do that I really shouldn't do is hit "random in this diary" the "this" part being my own diary. I used to enjoy it. Now I am feeling a sadness that Fred is gone and I tend to feel I will never enjoy good health again. Of course, the damned…

As I approach my eightieth birthday--next May--I notice I am getting more and more like Fred. Recently, I bought some sweat pants and these days I am wearing T-shirts and sweat pants every day as he did. I am, as yet, not an expert in this since I don't have pockets! He HAD to have…

This afternoon I go to the oncologist. I think it is a give-blood appointment but before I left the hospital last time, I was told to make sure the oncologist knows about the spot on my lung that the two X-rays caught. So, I am wondering why*I* have to mention this spot on my lung.…

Wednesday evening I made yet another trip to the Emergency Room and then on to the hospital for a couple of days of not eating and little sleep. {The Kindle has saved my sanity on these nights when I was unable to sleep.] It was the same-old same-old, a bowel obstruction. At the moments there&hel...

So, today I gave a couple of vials of blood so I can eventually be told my cholesterol is too high...  And while I was sitting around at the new lab I was wondering why we say we are "giving" blood? I was certainly not making a gift of my blood this morning! It was…

Tomorrow I have to go fasting to a local "Health Complex" to give blood. No big problem---except that I am very irritable if I can't eat when I get up! But I am thankful that since this new complex just opened,  I do have a lab so close... Yesterday I juiced cantaloupe and strawber...

This is the time of the year when I am really sad that I am not teaching.** I used to love meeting all the new-to-me seventh graders and talking to them. I really tried not to say the same things to them every year but I admit I almost always did! This was my "trust"…
