Had blood drawn and meds renewed. No flu shots avail. here yet, watch for announcement in a couple of weeks I was told. Made appt. for Mammogram for Thurs. They no longer give them evenings so it was while on vac. or take off work someday to do it. Darn Thursday was my only free day to finish up any last minute stuff that may come up. Oh well, at least it is at 9:30 a.m. so the rest of the day is free. Dr. will call me at work next week with any test results. I want the call during working hours so I can ask questions or make appts. or whatever may be necessary if anything is necessary.
Thought maybe I should have a shingles vaccination. Asked - was told good idea but expensive so I should contact my insurance provider first. Did that and if I got the shot I would have to pay the whole thing up front, bill insurance co. and they would reimburse me minus $65 which is my part to pay. No way at this point in time do I have that amt.(the whole thing) to pay up front for that shot. But I did have chickenpox as a kid and I know I should seriously think about it for a later date. 1 in 3 people over 60 who have had chickenpox get shingles and it is a painful thing according to friends who have had it.
Have eye appt. on Friday afternoon just before picking up Brennan for weekend. Picked out frames this past Sat. Not much to chose from but I did the best I could with the selection they had. They all seem to be for these small lenses. I have a pr. now and want something a bit larger for my prescription. I know my eyes and know these were not the best choice last time with tri's and no line. Am thinking of going transition as well this time.Have to check $ and see. My sun glasses are already 2 prescriptions back and they cost a whole lot as well as the regular glasses.
