ESOPHAGRAM AND EGD

      JUNE 24, 2021, got phone call today that esophagram showed narrowing of esophagus.  Now scheduled Aug 31 for an EGD.  Bad news, driver is not allowed inside  building.  Hubby will have to find someplace to go until it's over.  Darn the 103 degree weather and the pandemic.

     Before having the procedure, I have to take my temperature every day and  clear liquids the day before.  I guess they have to stretch esophagus again.  My sis is scheduled for July 1 for hers.

     Had a good report from dermatologist.  That's to say no skin cancers.  My fingernails are 2 tone.  White and pink, and very deep white spots on end of nails.  Guess they have raised from nail-bed.  Have to cut nails as short as possible and hope they reseat; no guarantee.   The doc took pics of both hands. Doc freeze-burned one spot on upper left chest cause I irritated it.  I also have seborreah dermatitis on the scalp.  Gads, it's terrible getting older.  Let alone all the age spots on arms, legs, and face; and seriously dry skin.  Living in AZ doesn't help the situation.

     Eye doctor said I have building blocks for macular degeneration on right eye.  If so, why can't they give meds before one loses their eye site?  I looked it up on the net.  I guess there's wet and dry macular.

     Also, found out that I have dark rings around the irises of eyes and a ring around the pupils.  Now what does that mean?  Another problem?

     Jim had an appointment at dermatologists today as well.  She cut out 2 pieces for a biopsy and freeze burned many more places.  He was done in after all that.

     Got to see my youngest granddaughter yesterday.  My daughter called on Messenger and the baby hadn't gone down for a nap yet.  Little boy was napping and mommie took the oldest girl to have a tooth pulled and a spacer put in.  The children are growing so fast.  One will begin school next year.  Now in pre-kindergarten.

     Good news.  Both of my grandsons in CO got engaged around C'mas in 2020 and are planning a June and a fall wedding for 2022.

     My great nephews are doing well in school and are expert mountain bike riders with their parents.  They also skateboard and I know one plays soccer.  The oldest one has let his hair grow-out from being very short, and he looks very handsome.   Both boys are good looking.  One looks like mom, and one like their dad.

     I am prejudice, of course, that all 4 of my grandsons are handsome and the great grand children have the biggest eyes.  Makes your heart melt.

     Bye for now.
