So far my side effects from the vaccination have been mild. Tiredness, listlessness, and the inability to sleep for longer than a couple of hours at time. It is annoying, but no Swollen lymph nodes, or "dead arm" or loss of appetite. I am not feeling "bad' just "bleh". I count that as a win-win. Kind of ( Read more... )

Well, perhaps not all around the world. And seen, and felt, not heard. I didn't yell when the needle went into my arm. I barely felt it at all, actually. ;P

So, my first vaccination shot is over and done with. The next on will be on the 3rd of next month.

:)

I've scheduled it. My first vaccination shot will be on Monday, April 12, 2021 at 10:05am down at a mass vaccination place. Funny, but I have not been to a sports stadium in years. Sadly, no ball games going on there now ( Read more... )

I read this article on wearing two medical masks:

Is Wearing Two Masks Safer Than One? - On Healthgrades      I do not wear 2 masks. I have disposable medical procedure masks. The outside face is blue and waterproof. I shape the nose guard to fit my nose shape and it is flush against my cheeks. Everything is as close to tight on all sides as it ( Read more... )

      Keeping fit and healthy is hard to do for most people - at least in my country. Maintaining too becomes more difficult the older one gets. When you are young you can go through periods where you are lazy and inactive, eat to excess, bloat up, and then rebound from that easily if you just make the effort. You can get your body back to where it ( Read more... )

It has been a busy week with my eldest sister. I wrote about getting her home last Friday, but since that time I've had to go back to her home 3 times. First was Tuesday, to bring her a carton of cigarettes because she was out of smokes. The second was Wednesday because her only telephone died and I had to go to the store to buy her a new phone ( Read more... )

The rain began to drizzle down just as the nurse wheeled my sister out of the Nursing Home door. We got her into my car and put her newly acquired large bags of items into the car trunk. From there I drove to the Kroger grocery store near my home and let her loose in the motorized shopping cart. I went to do some light shopping on my own, going ( Read more... )

An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away - along with the 16 pills that your doctors have prescribed to you.

One of the pills you have been prescribed is probably meant to treat the side-effect generated by taking a different pill that causes acid reflux if you also eat that apple.

I've been waiting for a prescription to be filled all week. I've gone to my Kroger pharmacy several times and it was not ready yet. The website showed still processing (and still does now), but I've learned that what it shows there and the truth can be very different. I used to get text messages when a prescription was ready for pick-up, however ( Read more... )

That is basically it: We do what we can.

We either do it, try to do it, fail to do it, or refuse to do it - because we just can't manage it for whatever reason. We do what we can.

I do what I can to become healthier. I know I will never again be healthy-healthy, but I can probably manage some form of better health. I eat right most of the time, ( Read more... )
