• That little cottage once on the corner of Narragansett and Sunset Cliffs is gone now. They bulldozed down the cottage, the trees, and the ambience of old OB, and replaced it with 1990’s stucco. You know I don’t approve.
• The 10 some new meds they gave me have altered my world. Nothing smells the same, tastes the same, or acts the same. Dear G complains that I never finish my morning coffee anymore. It doesn’t taste like coffee. My hair is getting straight again. I miss my curls. My driving is erratic too.
• I aimed to take a shower this morning. In the end, at almost ten AM, I was discouraged by the 9AM water shut off time. Can’t you just see me all lathered up and ready to rinse just when they finally turn off the water.
• A group called the WE Group is having a Thanksgiving potluck. Just the sort of people we like and know too. “We could do that,” G tells me. Sounds like fun to me. Now what do we bring.
• Monday G had an appointment with our orthopedic guy. Now a MRI is the next scheduled thing. (I’m so glad he is doing something.) In the evening was the Spring Roundup Committee meeting. I begged off and didn’t feel guilty at all reading and watching Antiques Roadshow…a two hour special.
• Tuesday is my heart doctor appointment.
• Wednesday is that defining CT scan. Mine. No more medical things this week. HURRAH!!!!

So nice you’ve got that sketch considering they flattened everything and it’s no more - such a shame.
It’s very disconcerting when medications change so many things we’ve got used to.
An Antiques Roadshow special sounds a wonderful way of spending two hours to me!

We are going to LA for Thanksgiving... unless Bob's CT scan Friday shows some reason that we shouldn't... and provided California hasn't burned down before Nov. 18th.

We haven't burned down yet, and I so hope his CT scan shows nothing at all.

Lovely sketch !
I have trouble with my sense of smell and taste since the accident ; probably due to the head injury :-( Sometimes I taste and smell everything too much and sometimes not at all . Sometimes I smell bad odors no one else can. It’s definitely dulled my desire for food. Which could be a good thing but stuff I loved before , I have no interest in . I miss them. Perfume does not smell as good :-( Chocolate is so- so . All tea is almost tasteless .

Love the cottage...like a little bit of paradise tucked away. It is your drawing isn't it?
Ten meds. I would never remember what each of them was supposed to do.
MageB NorthernSeeker ⋅ November 07, 2019
Yes, it is one of mine. Meds. I too don't remember what they are and what they do. They were upset with me at the Heart doc's when I couldn't remember. I keep asking for fewer meds.
