The supermarket we go to is a chain, but it is run like a family business. Most of the checkers are teenagers, and they're slow.
One of the girls (she must be about 17) has the biggest crush on my husband lol. She blushes and gets a little giddy every time we go through her line, and she sizes me up but she doesn't act like she's noticed the scar... she's probably too focused on my handsome husband lol.

On another note, I'm doing much better medicating my anxiety...
I'm doing okay with 1.5mg of Klonopin in the morning most days. I've been having more days when I need 1mg rather than a half in the afternoon. Part of that is I'm trying to medicate OCD. I still don't take anything in the evening/at night because of that high dose of seroquel. I'm still staying under my 3mg limit.
Years ago, before the BP dx, I was prescribed Adderral, Ritalin, and then Provigil to fight the MS fatigue and stay alert, but they all induced what I now know is hypomania so I switched over to coffee...
I'm drinking a lot of it. Pdoc knows it. I have at least 3 in the morning and reserve another for around 4 o'clock when my energy really starts to take a dive. I know it's not the best thing for anxiety, but it's a coping mechanism and it's helping a lot. When I went to the MD to have him check out my bum, my bp was around 110/60 after 3 cups so I'm safe there.
BTW Bizi, I was shocked that they sell Duoderms OTC now... When I was still working (8yrs ago) they were new and we had to be careful how we cut because they were SO expensive. I wish I new that, I could have taken care of that sore before it got to the point where I needed to go to the MD.
