Teeth and pills, asthma and "droppings"...

Well, we are both all clear on the teeth front, and have been for checkups, to ensure there was nothing untoward going to happen whilst away. Then I got my prescriptions for the medication (blood pressure & cholesterol). Thing is, I don't believe I have serious problems in either area, but my doctor won't take me off them yet.

The other important one is the eye drops for the glaucoma, and I had to sit down and work out how many packets and potions I have to take.

Then you have to make sure you've got a letter from your doctor(s) to say that it is vital for you to carry this stuff, and so I have six of this and six of that, and enough puffers to alleviate the breathing problems!!

It only weighs 500gms or so, but it's the bulk, because you are supposed to take things in their original packaging, and that's all the cardboard packets, etc.

The one good thing is that at least this time, they haven't cost nearly as much as they could have, because I've now got the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.

The "droppings" is now a little joke between Lee and I, when on one recent night, just before I went to bed, she said, "have you done your droppings?"
(I usually do all the pills and eye drops and puffer,and calls of nature, last thing at night)

The other thing that happened this week, is that they've taken the balance of the money required for the mini-cruise around the Western Isles of Scotland, so that's another thing out of the way.

Finally, we have been very diligent with the exercise, and have tried to make sure we keep at our three-times-a-week at the gym, and in between the walking, etc. We are already much fitter than when we went last time, so hopefully we will cope better with all the moving around, the driving, and the stairs...
