Well!

It's been an interesting few days here.  Saturday morning Les went to play golf but left the course  after the eighth hole because he was not feeling well.  He had several symptoms, and thought maybe he was de-hydrated again in spite of drinking Gatorade and water as usual.  Symptoms increased and by afternoon we were at the Urgent Care.  The doctor thought perhaps pneumonia and had said he would call after he got the radiologist's report on the lung x-ray.  That did not happen.  In the meantime I picked up the prescription and was warned about side effects and then we read the printout and found out about many more - all of them said to be much more of a risk for persons over 60.  We both feel like the doctor should have discussed this.  Les decided not to take the antibiotic.

First thing on Monday morning I started calling our PCP's office and found out he was out of the office this week, but got an appointment with another doctor who was covering for him.  To sum up, after examining Les he said he did not suspect pneumonia, but more than likely everything was a reaction to the flu shots we got last week.  The good news is that after seeing the doctor we are both relieved, Les is feeling better and things are getting back to normal.  And the doctor said he wouldn't have taken the antibiotic either with those side effects.

During all this, I spent a lot of time just watching Les.  😊  So, today I am working on catching up on some things. 

It has been hot and humid and we finally got some rain.  We've been watering that new seed but a good rain is always better!  Although, by the time Les gets to mow he may have to bale the grass!  I would love to get out and do a little yard clean-up but right now it is pretty wet out there.

We had the check-up on our heating system and all is okay there. We are ready for cold weather to come, but I am not expecting it any time soon.

Pam will be starting a new job with IBM in November and she is happy about that!  We know she will do a great job!  The kids are doing well in school and all is good there.

Jacquie is recovering from her knee surgery and doing okay.  They are busy as ever at her house - never a dull moment -  and all is well.  Chris has been planting berry bushes and hopes for a big crop in the future. 

I rarely post a picture of myself, but here you go!  After the good doctor appointment yesterday we went to the mall - we hardly ever go to the mall - to go to the watch repair place.  Les needed to get a watch band resized.  During the wait time, we strolled through Macy's.  After looking at IZOD golf shirts, I stopped at a Vera Bradly display that caught my eye and Les took my picture.  I had to check out the new patterns!  Did not buy any, but always fun to look!

Life is good!  Stay safe and God Bless America!
