Jim and I

 My EGD was for stretching my esophagus.   Hope that's all.  They've found H Pylori before.  Had it stretched again as food was sticking in the esophagus and caused me to regurgitate.

Jim's EGD showed he has gastritis.  Changing his diet has helped the pains in the stomach a lot. 2021

Jim has glaucoma and the light really bothers him.  He faithfully takes care of his eyes, but they still bother him.

Eye doctor said I have building blocks for macular degeneration in right eye and that my eye lids don't close all the way.  I'm having a lot of trouble with my eyes and feel that my far-sightedness is worsening.  Before it was the nearsightedness.

Jim will be scheduled for carpal tunnel surgery in a month.  He also needs to see a Moh's surgeon regarding a skin cancer on his forehead and one on his chest.  He swears they have done the one on the head.  If so, shame on Moh's surgeon.

It's Jan 2022 and his back is still bothering him.  I had MRI's of back and neck.  Had injections on both sides of my lower back-to no avail.  Suppose to begin P.T. in February 2022.  Nothing like waiting over a month for an appt.  That partly due to The Core Institute.  The PA's assistant never made the phone call until I wrote him on their Portal.

I've put on so much weight since moving to this senior community and I don't mean our home.  I'm almost 200 pounds now.  That's a lot of weight to put on in three years.  I am so unhappy here, but it's a lot my fault as I don't go out of this place and join groups available to me.  Want to get back to quilting and machine embroidery and all I do is sit at the computer and write.

No more complaining about pitiful me.  No more victim wanting attention from anyone who will listen.  What got me to this place?  My last marriage?  I wonder.

Right now I would rather spend my days sleeping and eating junk food.  Not able to get out of this rut by myself and really do not want therapy anymore.

A friend passed away a few month's ago.  My friend in NM--don't know if she is still around since her cancers.  She does not answer my emails, but it doesn't look like her account has been canceled.  A shirt tail relative I met through Ancestry.com has jumped ship.  For some reason she will not write or talk to me and I don't know why.  She was such an outgoing, bright individual, I really enjoyed corresponding with her.  A mystery.  She was into so many things and had a variety of jobs, one of them being a pilot.  Sandy read my stories and commented on them and I so appreciated it.  No one else cares about reading them and commenting.
