Today definitely made up for yesterday; it was an action packed busy day!
Do any of you remember that I applied for a low cost mammography program locally, and was willing and able to pay at a discounted price?
And the program I seemed to finally qualify for was the Millions for Mammograms program? Well, that’s where I went today, and it was for free at the hospital, wow and this year it went digital, I know… but not anything like our TV’s that have been all too often losing their signals or turning into pixel puzzle pieces when its trying to find itself, oh no, this was clear and precise with immediate results, and I am good to go for another year! Although, it was a bit scary there for a few moments when they had to retake my left one; that bad girl has already had two of my three lumpectomies, and I got worried. Fortunately, they alleviated that when they said all was well on the retake, may be I forgot to smile? LOL
Did you see it? Walgreen’s is becoming our medical outpost for this and that well I just found out that besides giving seasonal flu shots like we went for weeks ago for $24.99, they also offer, once a year A1C diabetes testing, and so I went there to get the freebie and I went down even lower on the test to 6.0 from the 6.2 three months ago, and the 7.1 nine months ago, which is really great! Now I know there’s really nothing to worry about, peace of mind is priceless!
While at the hospital I also got a handle on when they will be FINALLY giving the masses the H1N1 flu shots and where, our convention center next Wednesday from 10A.M. to 3 P.M., but you still must meet the criteria, being a child, young adult, pregnant or a person with a chronic illness or a care giver of some one who is chronically ill. Please don’t stand or sit in line if you aren’t of these people, most at risk who must get them first please.
Did you know that the initial chicken fast food place is asking too much for there meal deals? Well, neither did we, and we left and ended up going to the golden arches and paying half of what the other wanted and received two meals! Now that’s a deal.
Any-who, Hubby went in and picked it up and we drove over to the park by the waterfront where the Viet Nam Memorial is on loan and would you believe…they had no picnic tables, just benches…I know… so we ate in the car!
And then we ventured out and was saddened impressed and overwhelmed with the shear enormity of the quantity of names, all from our era that were killed in the war that wasn’t called a war, it was called a police action. The realization and memories that it invoked in us are difficult to express, but it’s like most things with this magnitude of screaming witnesses you had to be there.
Many children don’t understand that it was the first televised nightly war, and the remembrances are chilling.
You see? I told you we were real busy today. We packed utility into fun and adventure, and that’s a good thing, don’t you think?
Good night to you all and to all count those blessings and I will too!
PS the weather here was perfect today in the mid seventies most of the whole day!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
