I'll be there! Dagnamit, of course I will!

How many of you out there get robo calls to remind you of doctors' appointments, that is from their offices?
Sure we all need to be reminded regularly in our busy lives of such things.
I'm not complaining...entirely!
But receiving a live person calling just yesterday and today a robo call for the same appointment is a bit much, I think?
I could be wrong. I have been wrong before.
Could it be...nah... maybe... since I just had that significant birthday and now being of that significant age, yes an adult and all that goes with that, like social security and Medicare, oh my, so lucky me and all my contemporaries!
I must admit it is the first time that I can recall receiving two, calls that is, for the same visit.
Many doctors' offices do call and if it weren't for us being consistently concerned with NOT forgetting things and writing them on our calendar on the refrigerator as well as now Hubby's new found fun of putting everything on his smarter cell phone with its calendar reminders, even including my newest medication that must be taken twelve hours apart, twice a day and no sooner without scary side effects, we would be more forgetful possibly.  
Who knows.
I suppose being safer than sorrier is a "good thing", Gosh why do I feel I must quote Martha Stewart in these situations, perhaps it's because we are now in her age group, oh my...
Actually, she does have a few years on us, but hides her mileage well.

Just thoughts... out loud...

Sadly today it rained most of the day and I offered to send some to the support pharmacist in California to help with their horrendous drought, I spoke with her about my new Ampyra medication, asking how long it takes to start working. The answer was about six weeks.
Of course all of you knowing me I had first called the MSAA, Multiple Sclerosis Association of America and left a message and Googled my question online, but no definitive answers were forthcoming. Time spans were from two to fourteen weeks. Then I recalled I had the toll free number for patient support for Ampyra on a post-it note in the sun-room next to the ye ole PC and so I called.

See, I almost forgot that, oops!
In conclusion so calling to remind people is a very good idea, never mind...this premise of this blog, oh well. It's "the again" that I questioned truly.

On this note of whatever, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
