Well, I have been busy in other chats, but got to get you all caught up on my other health issues. First, need hearing aides. Two, got neuropathy in my left foot and feels like it is trying to be there in the right foot. And have Mitral valve calcification, but the cardio folks are keeping a...

Got my covid booster and flu shot yesterday. Upper arms are sore today. But feeling okay otherwise. I do the flu shot every year, for I had the flu at 13 and did not get over it for three months. Never again. And found out I have a calcification of the Mitro Valve, so more to keep up with the...

I just found out last week about the irregular heartbeat. It is the Mitral Valve and it has a little calcification going on. The Cardio Nurse said they will keep an eye on it. Nothing more was said. I am not worried. Just hoping no surgery. But will take it one day at a time.

Went to Cardio last week and he suggested doing a monitor. Did not say he was having sent to my house. Thought I was getting an Early BD present. Got it was in shock. Not a bulky box with a shoulder strap like in the old days. But we are trying to figure out what is causing the irregular...

Well, had a change in my Metformin to Metformin ER. I have had troubles it for years and recently got worse. So the doctor mistaken out me on one ER med that $243.00 for a three month supply, forgetting that being on SSDI means low income. So I let the clinic know what he made a mistake and so...

I can't believe it has been 20 years since that day I was under the knife again, this was for the replacement and waking up several times banging on the railing of my bed. And the pump head moments when I got back to work and had to relearn everything. But glad I went through it. I was 36 years...

Tomorrow morning, I will be getting the right eye cataract removal. I am on pins and needles since the vision has gotten worse. I am glad to have this done now, cause I loved to read books, but the last few years have been hard on the concentration. And later we will get the left eye. So happy...
