The joys of being 50 plus

We get to drink lovely (that word is dripping with HEAVY sarcasm) cocktails. MMMMMMMMMM yummy . . . . NOT!

Because I opted for the generic (which my insurance covered as a tier 1 drug) there is no flavoring added. Sigh! Only a couple more glasses to go, I think. Yay! urgh!

Off to the hospital early early tomorrow for the lovely procedure which follows the above prep.

But, first I had to see my primary care physician today to check on whether or not I needed to be pre-medicated with antibiotics. I have this little systolic heart murmur and need to be pre-medicated prior to dental work. The above mentioned procedure falls along the same lines. So I had a nice chat with my doc this a.m. and he said, yes, we should do that - and in the fall I should probably have an echocardiogram. Looking at that page, I wanna opt for the first kind - no sticking things down my espohagus and such if I can avoid it, huh?

But that is all for later. I will close with the words the nurse sent me off with today . . .

Bottoms Up!

sigh!

Flavoring doesn't help at all...

Good luck! Shelley and I usually have a nice lunch after <g>...

Mom had an echocardiogram last week with no discomfort; don't let that one worry you. ;)
