Very good news, JoAnn.

Kayelle, I trust you are continuing to mend.

Hoping all others are surrounded by good health.


Thanks for asking Kathleen. Now I'm just trying to get my system back to normal after taking those massive amounts of antibiotics. ACK.. Eating lots of yogurt to help. I have a couple of bumps on the end of my nose that I think may be permanent and require some plastic surgery. Since I've never had any complaints about the looks of my normal nose, now I do. Guess I won't really care about it until masks are a thing of the past. Please Lord!!

I swear by probiotics.

I've never had an issue with my face (nose, eyes, etc.) either, but may need my eyelids adjusted as they are draping over my eyes. :ermm: I really don't want to do anything because I heal SO slowly and am prone to scarring.
 
I'm on my way to my ophthalmologist's office to have a procedure done on my eye. I had an ulcer on my right eye years ago, which has left scar tissue on the cornea. It's been expanding and it's starting to affect my vision. My doctor is known as the cornea specialist on the East Coast, so I'm in good hands. Should be home in a couple of hours.

DH and I just got back from getting our flu shots. Some of our places are out of the flu vaccine. Thank goodness Walgreens still had some. We need the one for older people.
 
GG. Hope your procedure went well..

JoAnn L. We are getting our flu shots tomorrow, at our PCP's office. Because of all going on, we are doing so earlier than we normally do.

Thanks, all! [emoji813] The procedure went well and I'm doing fine now. I go back tomorrow to make sure there are no infections or other problems.

I got my flu vaccine last week when I saw my family doctor for the pre-surgery check-up.

Glad everything went well, GG! Hope it all goes well in the recovery, too.

I had something happen funny with my doctor's office, concerning the flu shot. I went in last week for my usual check-up to see him, and would have had the shot, but they were out, like many. But the next day they called me to tell me that the shots had come in, and I could come in and get it. I was lucky I was sort of dirty in my garden, and had to clean up a little, before coming in, because she called my back and told me the shots they got in were only the ones for those over 65 - fortunately, I hadn't jumped in the car when I got the first call! But about an hour later I cot another call from the same lady, telling me I could come in for the flu shot, and I said something like "Oh, the ones for those under 65 came in now?" There was a long pause, until she realized what she had done...twice! We both got a laugh out of it, but I still haven't got another call from them about the shot being in.
 
So no one except me is having any health issues? ;) Yay!

So DH and I had lunch downtown yesterday and as we were walking to the car, I stepped into a graveled area cut out of the sidewalk around a tree. I lost my balance and went right down on my left knee, which had already been painful from arthritis and too much activity last weekend. It's terribly painful and swollen now. DH got the walker I used after my hip surgery our of the shed and I'm hobbling around with that. This sucks! 20210730_193343.jpg
