”Feels like I need to point out responding appropriately in an unexpected event is part of driving. An important part. I hope you do practice driving and get him into the habit of being the passenger. “ I learned decades ago, with my retired cop grandfather, that taking an adult male’s car...

Thinking of “things that might have been”.., Today, all he did was not turn where we needed to turn and added a mile or so and a couple of minutes to our trek. Not a huge deal, except that yesterday, he managed to turn a 1.5 mile trip into a 30 minute drive. He is still capable of operating...

Me, too.

I watched a clip of Colbert interviewing Paul Simon. Colbert and his mother were really struck by the lyrics on the middle of this. Now I am, too. From Simon’s Slip Slidin’ Away, which he wrote in his early 30s. How did he know!?! And, I know a woman Became a wife These are the very words...

Looks to me like there are a few items of note: •monthly injections—that can be a plus if it avoids major surgery, ESPECIALLY if you are self-pay, but you’d better be available for every visit. •brain involvement—patients report that the “food noise” that has caused them to CONSTANTLY be...

I take opioids…for a VARIETY of aches and pains. I cut down, when possible. But mornings would be hell without them. I called my PCP, she sent in my new monthly Rx for 120 tabs (I never use them all and have quite a secret stockpile because I fear that something strange would happen…like...

Me, too. I get the chewable tablets because the chewy bites’ first ingredient listed is malitol, a sugar alcohol…not one of my friends.

Thanks. I’m going to look at those papaya enzymes, too.

Great ideas!

Wow! I had no idea you’ve been dealing with this as well. I wonder if my spine can handle kyphoplasty. I’ve been operating under the assumption (?) that my spine couldn’t handle the hardware needed for the spinal surgery. Old age brings SUCH new experiences!

And ignoring symptoms. A year ago Monday, I fell, broke my humerus and tore my rotator cuff. (I don’t know if that fall impacted my spine.) The pain was really…well…painful. And all other pains had to get in line to let me know there was a problem. Over time, the pain reduced SOMEWHAT, but...

That is my primary item from them, too! I prefer the Cherry flavored calcium. I’ve occasionally used one or two other items.

I use them for a few things. I got this notice. They WILL be increasing prices next month. BUT, if you order a 2- or 3-month supply of your supplement as a subscription, current prices will be frozen in for 36 months. I don’t know what the increase will be, but I may look into it. From...

@hilary1617 !!! Must you ALWAYS be right? (Actually, I was glad for the heads-up.) The Creon was great, for a whole day. And at 5:00 am today, it announced, “See? You thought maybe Hilary had a one-off reaction and you were just fine. Well, try THIS on for how to poop a burning torch.”...

It had better be a miracle drug, because I’m starting at Bristol 6 & 7. My gastroenterologist thinks that my diarrhea situation may be due to an inability to produce those enzymes. I’m, of course, not bothered by the weight loss…just the diarrhea. My hero is picking up the Rx now, after he...

We have a few dirty dishes and our own hand-held shower fixture and stuff to take an emergency shower whilst moving and the bidet attachment. Those will come out tomorrow…IF…the GI virus that my GI doctor said is going around and which seems to have found MrSue goes away. Otherwise, we have...

ABSOLUTELY… not!

It’s a biggish corporation. They may have covered EVERYTHING. For example, there are about 7-8 pages on how to prevent, identify and massacre bed bugs. It tells us what cleaning products we can use. It lists ALL the ingredients in ALL the garden pest control products they might use. It...

I have decided that: Those who take Prolia, will then need to follow up with another drug; and, They ALL “threaten” my existing medical issues; and, Taking any of them may help bones but cause other problems. IOW, I ALREADY supplement Calcium and Vit D and fight like crazy to stay in range...

I’m still losing weight without trying. Slowly. [And then I recently learned that the reason my childhood friend Bob had stopped responding to me was NOT that I had pissed him off—we’d often do that…we were two years younger than our classmates and kept acting OUR age, instead of THEIR ages...
