It's been twelve years since my brother Bob passed.  My sister in law posted a Pic of them. As a memory.  It took me until the end of the day to make the connection.   I mentioned  it to both Liz and Jim.  They both realized it too


That day Liz and I went to STaples so that she could get her passport retaken because the earlier ones looked bad for her.  We spent about two hours there in between waiting for the girl, and getting the pictures taken and we looked at IPADS and laptops.


One of the first questions Liz had was “is this an impulse buy”.  My answer was no but I am not ready to get one just yet this is just looking to see what the prices are.  I would prefer a laptop over an IPad or tablet.  I still have to look the reviews up.  There are a couple of the laptops that are on Amazon.


When we finally got home we fixed the swing that had fallen over during the previous night’s weather event(very windy and rainy)


The rest of Saturday is becoming a blur.  Probably watched TV..  When NextDoor Don came home I spent time with them and then came home checked in on LauraG.


Sunday definitely is becoming a blur.  Talked with Jim Late in the day.  He has been cutting back on doing the driving but Janis Has picked it up.  HE tells me he has been falling at least a few times a week.  


I just recently found out that my cousin CArol (and DLH”s Sister) will be retiring to Greece next year with her husband.  The last I knew she was on Disability and HE was working.  Liz has never been fond of Carol and I know I have had my problems with her but we were younger then.


Yesterday was Nelson’s Birthday.  Liz and Rich went to an early dinner but they really didn’t enjoy it.  RIch is having problems swallowing these days and that’s not good.  For Liz it was a day of reflexiveness?

Now I remember what else was going on Saturday!  I got phone calls from Both Dr. Yang and Dr. Gordon Dole.  They told me my sugar levels are up and I need to get more blood work.  I also had to cut the sugars out and to call MY PC.  Dr. Yang changed up the meds.  I am taking a new one atovaquone 750 mg/5 mL suspension.  Commonly known as: MEPRON.  It's gross (like everything else) and messy.  I reduced the prednisone but I have a feeling I needed to wait a little longer.


I did call Internal Med Saturday and had to leave a message.  I got a call in the last couple of days.  They reminded me gently that prednisone is known to raise the sugar levels when using it long term.  THat’s how it is for now.  I am also going to have to get a monitor. 


 Liz Suggested that I look up a different one that they recommended.  To see if the insurance covers it.  I tried but couldn’t find anything on it in my benefits or programs.  I will have to keep trying.


I saw the cardiologist Wednesday.  He is pleased that the BP is down. He wants me to wear the compression socks (did one night) and raise my legs when I am lying down or whatever


I have to admit.  I have still been eating.  I had ice cream after the appointment.  ADding to the bagel and what ever else I had this week.  As I was leaving my meetup on Wednesday I (I hope) Diarrhea.  I had just had shrimp wrap and fries.  I gave up the rest of the fries before leaving.


I had the weird Leg cramps that night too.  I did everything to get rid of it.  Since then I have eaten bananas and made sure I drank water.
