Back from the doctor's office. I think I set a record for holding my breath! Everytime someone would walk past me I'd hold my breath. There were about twelve other people in the waiting room. They had it marked "well waiting" and "sick waiting" but I doubt the germs paid any attention to the boundaries.

I had blood work done (liver, cholesterol, sugar, etc.) and got a new prescription for my thyroid med. He also gave me a prescription for a generic BP med....Lisinopril. I've heard that it also helps with MS sx so we'll see. Last time I had this med I had a dry cough but I can live with that if it's going to save me $80 a month!

I dropped my rx's off at the drug store and came home. I need a nap! I had to get up so early this morning and I'm not used to it. And.....I missed my coffee so I might just have to have some this afternoon.

My doctor did tell me about a doctor he knows of who has opened a clinic in this town that bases fees on your ability to pay. He told me he wasn't trying to get rid of me but just wanted me to know it was available in case I needed it. I looked it up online and it looks really good. Plus, he said the doctor that started it is really good.

Sandy, I hope your Mom is doing better today. I think about her alot and I'm still praying that things settle down for her. I know this has to be hard for everyone.

Everyone else...... I hope everyone's families recover from this flu. At least they're getting it out of the way before Thanksgiving! I guess that's looking at the bright side....if there is one!
