Guessing you thought the 20th of this month had already passed. That
is what I would have done.

Kay,

All of my meds make me drowsy.

(Still hoping for the perfect med to be invented at some point.)


I hope that the timing for the check and the new insurance policy works out for you.

I have dysphagia from the MS so I have to be very careful when I take my pills. This morning I choked on them and I aspirated one or more (3 of them are very small). Hopefully I can cough up the rest and this won't become an issue. I'll be taking my pills in pudding, applesauce, or ice-cream again.

Otherwise I've been feeling a little better the last few days

The plan was to go to the club if I felt better today, but I really haven't done anything meaningful around the house all week. I decided to take today to catch up on some housework. I've already done 2 loads of laundry which are waiting to be folded. The club will still be there next week.

kay I hope you have a nice weekend.

I don't think I will have any issues re: the pill going down the wrong way

I ended up having to call my PCP's office yesterday to ask if he could prescribe something different than, or in addition to, the prilosec and gaviscon for my upper GI issues. I didn't get a response. I should have just asked to come in... now I'm going to have to wait until Tuesday because Monday is the Boston Marathon and most people in Massachusetts, including those in my doctor's office, have it off.
I'll choose an OTC substitute for prilosec myself, but I'll do some research online first. I know some of those things carry warnings and have med interactions. I've excluded prevacid because of its indications. I've already tried zantac and pepcid.

I'm spending a small fortune in OTC meds

Yesterday I did two loads of laundry and vacuumed... that's about as exciting as I get at baseline. I usually don't do much as far as cleaning on the weekends because my husband's home, but he decided to go in today. His extra day at work gives me another day to make up for slacking off, but I'm not going to be overly ambitious

It's beautiful this morning. It makes me wish I had swept up the patio and had my husband bring out the furniture yesterday. It's supposed to be sunny all day and close to 60 degrees. Tomorrow will also be sunny all day and close to 70! It snowed 2 weeks ago!!

enlist a pharmacist to check for drug interactions
have a good day!

Yesterday I swept out the patio (its tiny, about 8"x4") so my husband can put the furniture out today. I got quite a bit done so I feel less guilty about being lazy last week.

The job my husband went to yesterday was supposed to be done over 2 Saturdays, but when when he and the guys got there they found out it was a one day job. He left the house before 6am and didn't get home until after 7pm. I wasn't happy about him picking up the extra work because of his back, but he did it for the money. It's really sore now but by Friday it's going to be a mess

I decided against a switch from prilosec right now. I don't want to spend $20+ now and find out in 2 days my PCP is going to call in a script or recommend something instead of nexiuum. I can make it until Tuesday.

sorry about your hubbys back.

The NH DMV cashed my check, and it cleared on the 15th, so my driving record should be on its way! I'm expecting it sometime this week… I should be making my first visit to the MA DMV in less than 2 weeks! I'm so excited, but it feels surreal. I'm still a little worried that something else will go wrong.

The inside of our car is filthy! My husband complains about how dirty it is, but it's his mess. I'm going to throw out all the garbage and give the interior a proper cleaning this week. I'll have to wait until I get my license to try to vacuum it. I'm not going to drive around in a **** can and there's no reason why I can't start making my preparations now.

I was thinking about Mari's question… about if I have any special plans for when I'm driving on my own? I'm going to get my hair and nails done
Getting a manicure makes me feel pretty, and I haven't gotten my nails done since around the last time I drove in December 2004. Haircuts since then have also been few and far between (2).

It's beautiful out and will be sunny all day! Unfortunately my husband never got around to putting out the patio furniture. We're expecting rain tomorrow morning, but it will clear up by noon. I plan on going to the club if I feel alright.

did you mean to write 2014?
I am hoping you make it to the center tomorrow!
