What to do if the doctors says you really need it, but the side effects are horrible. I've got to make a decision soon. I enjoyed this post and also your last post.

It is easy with spouses or grands to over entertain and manage which wears out both parties. Well done.

The automatic refill option that some pharmacies use can cause a lot of problems, especially if a doctor is changing the dose. I feel bad for couples where both are a bit confused, and there is no one to help them sort out the meds. <br /><br />Uneventful can be a good thing!

Also there are times we aren't really buying groceries. These stores carry everything, hardware, plants, clothes, paint, you name it. Sometimes we're shopping for that kind of stuff.<br /><br />Our internist situation is supposed to work pretty much like you describe, only one of the bunch messed up. We're seeing the Dr. this week and I'll see if a face to face discussion will set things right since nothing else has worked.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-46241730576017177002016-07-10T15:39:40.411-07:002016-07-10T15:39:40.411-07:00I can't tell you how wonderful it is to not ha...I can't tell you how wonderful it is to not have to put groceries in a cart, put them on the belt for the checker, put them in the car, take them in the house, and put them away.

All other specialists send their reports and test results to him and he's the one who prescribes everything recommended, to make sure there aren't overlaps or interactions.<br /><br />I'm glad you're having a good week. It still fascinates me how often you go to the grocery store.

Glad you figured that out. When I get my new menu figured out, I'm going to use one of the delivery services. That way when I do make small runs to the grocery, it will be like you say, only a small bag to carry in. Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894294588507668479noreply@blogger.com
