I've been reading about everyone and their healthcare issues. I hear you. Between getting things done, and managing our health, things sure can get busy.

| Dog tick or moose/winter tick |
May 6th we had captured a tick on my arm with a piece of tape. Sending off the photo to eTick, they told me it was either a Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick), or Dermacentor albipictus (winter or moose tick). Neither transmit Lyme Disease. Interesting stuff.
I decided to look at Joe Brian's appointments. He has had ~124 appointments since 2013:
PART CXXIV – Bone Mineral Density test #9, Mar. 19. Maybe in prep for going off Lupron injections in summer. This includes quarterly PSA and Lupron injections. The PSA tests have gone down to once every 6 months.
The Lupron keeps the metastasized cancer cells from growing.

Yes, indeed. We do a lot of trekking in to medical stuff. Add teeth and it is even worse. JG has consistently had low scores on the cancer, though. Ten years, almost. And no problem.
I guess I do alright with medical issues all in all. Still, they are a pain — literally.
I shudder to think how many appointments my husband had had since 2013...Cancer gives you 20 plus appts every month:(
