I’m about the same.  I have good days and bad days, like the one where my cancer bloodwork is just sitting on the top range number.  Oncologist says my mammogram in November was clear, so he’s gonna wait and see what the number is this fall, and my next mammogram,.  If it’s higher, may run a CT or MRI scan to see if there is something going on somewhere else.
            
            I just found an adult day care center where I can take my husband for a few hours each week to get some rest from his constant following me around.  It is driving me insane.

So I just realized that I didn’t post an update on health issues.  I have recently completed several followup health checks, so have had MRI, CT, ultrasound, various bloodwork over time, and ruled out digestive issues, just had a mammogram where they took 3x as many pics, I waited 40 minutes, but it is all CLEAR this time.  Also 6 weeks ago had hip replacement surgery.  Recovery, tho difficult and slower than I expected is progressing. I don’t need a cane indoors, but take one outdoors until I get PT for gait.  They don’t always warn you that operated leg will feel longer and mess up your walk..but it is supposed to settle out in a few months.  Thankfully, I’m noticing some smoothing out now.

Can anyone explain to me why my votes are not showing on books that I have read even a long time ago?
          
          I vote on every chapter, and when I finish the book, I archive it.  That was how I found that a book I read a very long time ago did not have the votes showing.
          
          This is frustrating.

@Whystlestop I face this issue too

i just read your bio & searched up a few names, figuring out your age. woah ! that genuinely makes me so damn happy , i wish you loads of happiness ma’am , thank you for branching out & appreciating korean culture ! 
          
          also p.s , i enjoyed reading your bio as it was very interesting . you’d make an amazing book writer !

Ah, I have a *few* stories started, but hit writer’s block.  I’m not even sure they are worth reading!  Since I have to stop and start so much with things going on in real life, like taking care of my husband who has dementia (and my various health issues that keep me busy) I haven’t completed the outlines of the stories I do have.  I have a one shot complete that was based on a picture of the rap line.  Maybe I’ll post that one soon.

heyyyyy! it’s been a while huh? how are you doing? :)

It is still a circus of Dr. appointments with both me and hubby!  Short version - my bloodwork is excellent, except that my thyroid numbers are ‘in range’ but dropping which is why I feel so tired and can’t lose weight now.  Hubby has had to see podiatrist for foot issues, but expecting some inserts for his shoes will help.  He also had Mohs surgery for a skin cancer on his arm just this last Tuesday.  I have an appt Monday with same podiatrist to check if I have a splinter in my foot when the Dr. at URGENT CARE wouldn’t dig around because ‘he didn’t see anything’ but I feel it!  It’s still in there.  UGH.
            
            Still need to make that cardiology clearance checkup because it looks like I am having a right total hip replacement in October….maybe by the time BTS tours again, I won’t need a walker or wheelchair to go….WHEEEEEE!

Just gotta say.  Sometimes I guess it’s a blessing when someone blocks you because you speak truth and they don’t want to hear it.
          
          It’s fine to ‘disagree’ with truth.  It doesn’t care.  It just stands there, being what it is - the truth.

Tae_Candy_1996

@Whystlestop it's okay to have opinions about the characters and share them in the comments. It's perfectly okay to even have contradicting opinions and disagree with what others say or think. But blocking is such an immature thing to do. Anyway... as I've always believed, if someone blocks is, it's like the trash took itself out. Lol.

Yes.  Apparently because I have an opinion on the flaws of fictional characters that someone disagrees with (which, by the way, you already know I love the characters and how you write) I am not supposed to speak truth in relation to the imaginary situation.  So many actually think that way IRL though.  I used to be one of them.

Back from ER.  Most everything checked out, except low potassium.  I just picked up the script and will follow up with cardiologist as SOON AS THEY CALL ME.  They never called me back today so I just went on to the ER.  2 hours later came home and the sun was still shining!  :)

@Tae_Candy_1996 Yeah, I didn’t have a good night last night.  I have to take hubby to Dr. at 2 PM, and I may have my son drive me to the ER if the cardiologist thinks I should go there.  he may call in some nitroglycerin tabs first.

Hi ❤
          
          How have you been?

@Tae_Candy_1996
            How long you got? -> Don't say that.
            
            I'm hoping the stomach issue isn't anything bad. And I'm glad to know that aquatherapy is helping you.
            
            I'm doing well ❤

How long ya got?  LOL
            
            My ultrasound was normal.  Last week I had a scope and colonoscopy screening, and the colonoscopy was completely clean, normal, no polyps.  The scope, however, they took some biopsies from the lower part of my stomach that was inflamed a bit and with edema - he called it a ‘mild systemic disease’ so I’m not worried yet.  He did say he was sending the biopsies to check for H. Pylori in which if they are positive, they will give me antibiotics to clear it up.
            
            If left untended, H. Pylori can cause lesions, ulcers, and possibly stomach cancer so best to find out and clear it up.  They called Friday but I missed the call and they were closed after lunch, so I’ll have to wait until Monday.  I feel if it was bad, they would have left a message to call before noon that day.
            
            I just finished my aquatherapy and am walking about 60% better than I was.  I was sick the last of October, and since then have not had to take Tramadol for pain but a couple of times which is a huge improvement.
            
            How are you?
