Maintaining the journey at 65

I hope the lemon and honey drink helped the cough, Denise. Glad you are feeling somewhat better today.

Sounds like your next trip to the dentist is shaping up to be an adventure. It won't be long now so it's good that you are getting your plans made. We'll be checking on you!

Oh I'm hoping CM, I have to kick this bug as hard as I can so I am ready to roll by next Wednesday. I'm so glad I have the time, don't want to cancel for obvious reasons. I think it would be great to have a bud'ette to go with for sure. Who knows what the future holds, but maybe some of us can get together one day:)

That would be nice, but it's also nice to simply have online "buddies" to share our ups and downs. I'm hoping you feel much better soon.

It really is nice because I have met folks from so many areas of the world I never would have met;) I find out how much alike we are, and I am so glad to have the buddies I do online. I live in a teenie town so not much going on, and especially when I'm sick, I can still get on here and yack;) I am on the mend for sure, and again, it's just been so neat to hear from you gals.

I haven't felt up to exploring, and posting around the different boards, but I'll get back into it;) big hugs, and so glad you, CindyLou, and Maggiemae joined the forum. I have friends here I've had for 4 years, but so awesome to meet new friends as well;) Denise

Here's for all of you today:

I love that little monkey! I would love to have one...but wait..I already have two (grandkids)! LOL Keep getting better for your teeth adventure! (HUGS)
 
Hi Maggiemae,

I bet those "monkeys" love their grandma. I don't know what they call you, but I had to laugh when my niece told us what her grandkids called her, meema, lol! One started calling her that as they couldn't say gramma probably;) and the name stuck.

I'm feeling lots better, even got some laundry done today. I still can't talk very well, and basically, I just croak, lol!
 
Thank you Rose, I love Tulips:)

Still better today, and I'm sleeping way better, and drinking lots of water and tea. I like the drinks I make up with the spices, but only had about 4 of those. I have Probiotics on the brain since lastnight and I want to start taking those eventually. I need to read up on them and find out what they are exactly;)

Thanks again, Denise
 
Been relying on my Roku to find "TV or Movie" entertainment" since tossing the cable out again. I not disappointed, especially with the BBC Crime Dramas I am getting into. My tastes change from time to time, sometimes just comedies, sometimes just movies, etc. But I have really been blown away by a series (unfortunately, only 3 seasons) called Broadchurch. I just so enjoy the "style" of the writers, directors, actors.

So that series came to an end, but I soon found a website that listed "similar" shows so now I'm just starting Hinterland. Really hoping I enjoy it as much. Still fighting to overcome the cold/flu that got me down, and finding something with real talent (imo) on Roku/TV is helping my "long" evenings;)

Here's the link to find a great list of BBC crime dramas if anyone is interested: https://www.deadgoodbooks.co.uk/netflix-shows-for-broadchurch-fans/

 
I'll check it out! One thing I love about the British shows is getting to see all the countryside, and the cities too. The town where Hinterland is filmed is Aberystwyth as you probably know.

Denise, did you ever watch the series All Creatures Great and Small ? I really enjoyed it. Many episodes showed a lot of the countryside.

I've heard of that one too!! I will look for it on my Roku channels, and/or, if it's on Youtube, I can go through an HDMI cord from my laptop to TV. I really enjoy the British shows much more than the ones from the US with the exception of a couple only. I just like their style, and the actors are incredibly "real people". I love the way they speak, and I love their humor. Maybe some of my Dad's heritage is in me. He was born in Canada, but his folks, as well as my mothers grandparents were born in both Wales, and England.
 
Today I'm feeling a bit frightened about this Dental trip coming up Wednesday. I am 10 days(or is it 11:confused:) into this bug I've had. If I'm not feeling I can drive the distance, and keep from coughing through the procedures, I may have to cancel by Tuesday. I'm not being too pessimistic I hope. I just want to be smart about it.

I've heard a couple of folks I know went to the doctor right away and were given Z-packs. Thing is, I never really felt it was more than a Cold/virsus and I know antibiotics don't beat those. Monday I might go by and see my doc/nurse to see what they think. That is if I'm not really feeling strong again. I haven't done a walk as I really didn't feel strong enough. I've gone to the store, don't laundry, but there is a little bit in my lungs I've been getting rid of by coughing. But no fever to speak of.

It's 350 miles to the University in San Francisco. I have triple A now, just changed over yesterday. I feel much more secure about travel in my truck (94 mazda) and can get some discounts, like the motel I plan to stay in. So I would leave about 5 a.m. Wed the 7th, to make sure I get there by 1:30pm. 2 blocks away is a parking structure I can use (hope they validate) It's UCSF so I think they might. It even crossed my mind, when I leave my appt. it will most likely be dark or getting there. So I'd have to walk the 2 blocks to get my truck, and back to the motel.

It's just all getting real I guess. This will teach me not to get out and really try to make friends that could/would have enjoyed maybe going for the ride. It's not that easy to meet people though. I mean meeting them is easy, becoming buds is another. If I lived in my hometown in Oregon, I would have had several that would loved to go with me just for something different to do, "get outa Dodge" ya know;)

Then the thought of "will the dentist be good/gentle". With she know how to give a shot right?? Blablabla. I should really sit and worry more, LOL!
 
Denise, see how you feel on Monday. From what I have heard and experienced with my husband, the cough tends to last for several weeks. You might want to give the Dental facility a call and let them know what is going on with you. Sounds like you might be getting a bit stressed out. Remember, take deep breaths and tell yourself..."I can do this"! We are all pulling for you girl!
 
Yes, I am a bit stressed but some rather good Chardonnay is helping through. I can't drink much anytime, but maybe 2 glasses;) I'm glad I can't drink much, another story, LOL! I found two clinics about half the distance of "all the way" to the UCSF. I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier. I was just pumped up about going to student dentists because I know it's a great deal, been there done that years ago. But now, things are different for me. I know if I have to, I will handle it, but if I can get out of it, find a dental clinic between Mendocino County and Sonoma, I will go there instead.

Won't have to spend the night, and the Dental Center at UofCA should have no problem sending my xrays they took. Thing is, when I go down Wednesday (if I go) I have no idea what the consult is going to be on my xrays, or what their plan of action will be, or when. I could go all the way down there, with all the expenses, and not get more than a "sorry, you insurance won't cover all of this. I CANNOT get a live person of the phone down there to tell me "what" they've found at this point. It's screwed. They don't realize the distance I am going to get to them.

I know it's really confusing, but basically, I don't know if I've picked my best option. So Monday, I'll figure it out because I have to let the school know, and I have to know that I have another option.

Thanks for the encouragement. I know I'll be ok, it's just such a freaking hastle and this isn't going to fly, me living so far from health and dental care:( It's a bummer but I think a larger city like Redding would probably end up being a lot more fun. We always have the pros and cons, and I would just have to start over again, but every time I have started over, it's always been a step up;) denise
 
I don't blame you for feeling nervous about the dentist Denise, I would too and you have such a long drive to get there, please be careful. My dentist said once that if somebody had a cold and came in for their dental work, they would be sent home and not treated until they were over the cold. I hope there's no issue with you. Wishing you the best, I admire your strength in dealing with your problems and doing so well...great attitude. :)
 
That was the other thing I didn't mention Seabreeze and that is if I still have the cold/cough they're going to end up sending me home I'll bet money so that's another reason I've got to make some calls on Monday if I'm still coughing like I am the cough is always at the end of the whole thing but still I couldn't go through any dental work if I was choking all the time anyway I'll let you guys know how it comes out on Monday with me finding another dentist or maybe just postponing my dental appointment tell a later date face for giving me the encouragement and back up I needed
 
I can't imagine having my mouth open at the dentist either getting worked on or xrays while coughing or having a runny nose, etc. Good luck, it's a drag if you have to cancel, but maybe that's the only way to go. Will be thinking of you on Monday.
 
Right on Monday we'll find out how I feel I mean that's two days away I could feel a heck of a lot better by then but I don't know on the whole I think most people are taking at least 14 days to get over this crap. And there's no way I go down and sit in the dentist chair anywhere with a cold and cough like I've had
