nov 2014 - wound on ankle appeared.

oct 2018 - finally healed up

Wound was a "venous stasis ulcer" caused by high blood pressure.  I didn't have high blood pressure until I started taking a prescription called "phentermine" for weight loss.

4 years, basically, because I couldn't get approval for WLS (weight loss surgery) until I'd been on a ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago, I signed up and paid online for a First Aid / CPR class to be given today, May 7, 2011, as I was advised to do last year when I called in to schedule a class.  This is scheduled for three days before my current CPR certification expires on May 10, 2011.  I do not require the full class, only recertification, but recert was not ( Read more... )

DH has been positively slavering over the idea of going to see The Spirit when it hit the theater.

He checked the online schedule for the 25th and we drove to Monett for the first show (1330 hrs).  Now, he checked online and this was scheduled to go on, got that?  And you can see where this is going.  Yup!  Closed, note on the door saying they'd be ( Read more... )
