{{{Trudy}}} I guess you can't bring the daughters a casserole, is there someone else you can feed in Ivan's honor? Doing something, especially for someone else, can help with the getting through it
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, Trudy, that's so hard. Being a caregiver yourself makes mortality a constant in your life anyway, so the loss of someone close to your own age just adds to that, especially if you cared for them.

Cereal: In much less serious middle-aged health stuff...
I had a followup fasting blood draw on Monday, and the phlebotomist didn't do a great job. I have a yellowing bruise on the inside of my elbow, with two reddish marks in the center.In the past two weeks, I have had three blood draws (normal labs before my physical, an MRR titer check, and an insulin resistance and hormone test). Two out of my three phlebotomists were great. Alas, the last one was not, and I have a bruise now. I also have had three shots (tetanus booster that I through was overdue and then realized AFTER the shot I had boosted three years ago), MMR booster since my immunity was, indeed, gone, and my first shingles shot. Can you tell summer break is ending and I'm trying to fit in ALL the daytime appointments?
Anyway, my genetics have finally caught up with me; I'm going on Crestor because of my cholesterol. My doc has also put me on CoQ10 200 mg to prevent the risk of developing insulin resistance from it. With these two meds and the supplements I already take (multivitamin, probiotic, and one for eye dryness), I think I officially need a daily pill organizer. Feeling 50 today!
