I felt pretty decent this morning but going down fast, and I'm meeting Jeannie at the gym at 4:30. It's really late for me as what little energy I can muster has run down by then, but I enjoy seeing her when I can.
I'm trying to not watch so many Youtube videos now but need something to do when I'm sitting down. So I have been working the daily xword in the newspaper, plus they carry the NYT xword which is a bit more difficult, and there are word games, word searches, etc. every day as well. I usually finish each of them in no time after which I always say out loud: "Damn, I'm good"; or "You're really good, Marty". It's always a plus for me to know I'm retaining my word skills, which means my mind is still okay - at least that's how I look at it. I sure can't meet many physical challenges these days. Talking to myself? - Well I don't know what that says about me!
I just got word from my doctor to take iron tabs twice a day rather than just once. Ok - I'll do it, but I can't imagine how much more magnesium I'll need to counter the side effects! Taking any kinds of pills at all just puts you on a roller coaster.
Well, look at me and my "Quick Post". See ya tomorrow - I'll try to post after my dr. appointment which is fairly early, west coast time.
Still thinking of you. I'll check in tomorrow to see what they tell you.
ReplyDeleteI don't always see eye to eye with doctors - I don't think they appreciate someone doing their own research.
DeletePainting while sitting down.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way to do it!
DeleteDoctors and I have always had an adversarial relationship. I didn't antagonize them on purpose, but just had so many questions they became defensive. I decided that I liked me better than they did and started searching for myself.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much the way I feel, except that I love my cardiologist. She doesn't seem to mind answering my questions, and I always take my daughter along who has questions of her own.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a doctor like that, hang onto her!
ReplyDeleteOh, I definitely will!
