Tuesday, August 25, 2020

Another week has past and I haven’t written a thing. The only highlight was a family gathering to celebrate Jill’s birthday with cake and ice cream at their house on Thursday. We had a nice chat with Lois and Dennis too.

I had follow-up appointments with the dermatologist and ophthalmologist. The stitches on my forehead were removed and I received the first injections of steroid along the hairline that will, hopefully, prevent any spread of the hair loss. I will need to see a dermatologist in Arizona for quarterly injections.  I had a good checkup with Dr Sanderson, got a new prescription for a closeup correction, and headed straight to Costco to order glasses.  The process of taking glasses off and on is driving me nuts.

The Democratic Convention was held this week and Joe Biden Is the nominee for President and Kamala Harris for Vice President. They will be getting my vote.

Sunday was Mike’s 73rd birthday and I had conversations with both of my sons, on the phone for an hour and 45 minutes with Pat, much of it about the upcoming elections. Unconsciously, I am overcome with sadness and grief on these days and end up feeling sluggish and moving around the house.
