Bullet proof coffee. Google it. I use kerry gold unsalted butter, 2T per cup. Others use different fats.

I guess this is the post I should talk about osteoporosis on now. I had a severe, outlying reaction to Reclast infusion last May. Still now having severe spine, hip and leg bone pain, 5 out of 10 daily. Not managing pain well on OTC meds since I get suicidal on narcotics. Although whiskey takes...

Please let me know your experience when you do, okay?

I dont get any pelvic exam or pap. Nothing to see there. I, too, am liking this telehealth stuff. Although I havent been billed yet. I did confirm my coverage. I am looking forward to SS and retirement, now that I have had a taste of what it might be like. Minus the traveling and grandbaby...

I think you nailed it. My care plan is prioritized by what they can bill ins for. Case in point, they have cancelled 2 of their "required" appts 10 min before due to ins non coverage.

Currently still on commercial insurance. I dont know anything about medicare. Just looking for others experiences.

Today I had to smile and nod my way thru a mandated virtual appt with the NP in order to refill my meds for asthma, allergies and depression. All told, my care providers office manager requires me to keep 4 yearly appts. 1) well woman, 2) annual physical, 3) chronic health issues, and 4)...

So asthma isnt quite the risk its being said to be. For me, thats good news. That 71 yo Michigan woman, my bet is she was from Farmington Hills area. Or closer to Detroit. And she probably had family, too. That might have been our ground zero. Interesting. One immediate family member of ours...

Well, I do know that prostate cancer isnt on the permitted list.

Yeah. We will start drawing ASAP. I do not gamble, and life is short. Plus, if I plan on doing the opposite, with my luck they will change the rules.

Exactly my point. I never trust statistics because 60% are made up on the spot. And Trump exaggerates. I personally know 8 people who are positive they recovered from this. 6 of them were flat out refused a test. The other 2 were presumptive. I dont know about anyone else, but I could get...

Something I learned today, very interesting. The covid figures are extremely dubious to me now, after learning that unless you are sick enough to be admitted, covid tests are not performed. In Detroit, this is especially true. Case in point, the niece was never tested! The 80ish relative was...

My niece is recovered and cleared to return to work!

Michigan is ready to start phasing back gradually. Our curve is declining. Our employees are not getting the promised unemployment or stimulus checks. We practice infection control normally, so this will not be new. We have controls in place, plexiglass, laser thermometers for employees and...

OMG, if any of you grow food and see plants NOW, you should buy them. God forbid your governor does what mine did. If we cannot mow, the mosquitos will be huge and deadly this year. We live in a valley. Yeah, we dont want or need stimulus money. Just let him go back to work, TYVM. We got this.

My Chicago son claims TP hoarders do what they do because they cannot spell "bidet".

Move along, nothing to see here......

We have had limits on ALL items for some weeks now. TP is non existent. People are resorting to using other ways to clean themselves. I predicted this, IIRC, in an earlier post. It has been reported that you can still buy those huge industrial or commercial TP rolls, but not here.

Update on niece. Her back hurt her bad enough today that she called in about it. Covid hotline said thats part of the virus. Family peanut gallery is giving good advice about inactivity and stretching. 80ish relative has been moved to that retirement communitys covid recovery and therapy site...

Niece is obese. Not SMO, but about 100# over ideal. She is a respiratory therapist.
