09/14/15 - On 9/12, I went out to dinner with the managers from a former employer (Inland East). We have known each other for about 25 years and still keep in touch. There were 10 of us and it was a wonderful evening. Afterwards, Stu, Betty and I stopped off at a dessert/coffee shop for some coffee (I had an ice white tea) and a piece of cake and cupcake. Stu's birthday is on 9/13 and Betty's is on 9/19 so we were kinda celebrated their birthdays.
9/13 - I did very little.
9/14 - started my day with a doctor's appointment at 10:30am. It was a thorough exam. I got some lab work done, have a mammogram scheduled plus she is going to do an x-ray on the right knee since I have been having some pain in that knee. I am sure it is arthritis but she wants to be sure. I lost the battle today with my blood pressure. It has slowly been going up and today I ended up having to start meds. I made they take the pressure twice but it was still the same (180/98!!). So I have to go back in two weeks to have it checked again to see if the low dose is sufficient. I sure hope so. As I was running some errands, I remembered that I was suppose to get a stool collection kit and my prolia shot so I ended driving back to the office for the rest of my stuff!! Prolia is for my osteoarthritis/osteopenia. Oh well, the trials of getting OLD!!

This kind of stuff is NOT my kind of happy day!!! And I know you like it even less. We think of you often, Lena, and just last night someone was wishing Aunt Lena was here. I do, too, excepting that you wouldn't be doing those sorts of things if you were here -- you would be putting it off until you were in CA. So, I really am happy that you are taking care of all those things, and I hope that all the news is GOOD!!!
I guess if I can get things taken care of, I only have to go through all this once a year!!
