Doctors!
We love to hate them The other day I posted this little meme and I thought the reaction was interesting. So many people have experienced this. I have been very lucky in the last 20 years in finding doctors who listen and react and truly want me to be as healthy as possible. They have…

Yesterday was a no good very bad day Yesterday was Day #1 after chemo which is the worst day. It also happened to fall on the day I was scheduled to take my monthly Boniva. Based on my previous two months I knew the Boniva would make me feel nauseated. I thought well, might as…

So Fruity
Todays complaint is about fruit. I like some fruits. Not all fruits. What I really like is a nice fruit salad. I am on an occasional very strict diet and can only have so much fruit at a time. So really what I want is about 2 medium size servings of fruit salad, 3 ish…
