Thanks for the update on Jude. You will need a two-week vacation
after fixing a dinner for 12!! Hope all goes well.
It seems that the older we get, and having TM, that we seem to develop
other problems too, from cancer to pink eye - which I had last week.
Apparently I developed it from the cold I had. All of the 19 years that
I worked in the nurse's office of a high school and helped kids with their
drops for pink eye, I worried I would contract it. No, I wait until I am
coping with TM and a nasty cold - then I get pink eye at 63. What a
bite!

Subject: [TMIC] Nice update on Jude
I'm guilty of reading the postings without commenting. I'm guilty of
spending too much time on the computer - including facebook. However, I
really got hit with the guilts when I saw the birthday wish to Judy
(Jude).
I was supposed to tell everyone that she is well and everything has been
fine with her. The only laptop she has is one of those itty bitty ones
and she doesn't like using it so she hasn't been reading or posting
lately.
I could have written about my last doctor visit and our discussion of how
I was going to conquer SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) this winter. He
asked if we had considered going to Arizona for a few months and I asked
if he could write an rx so I could use it as a tax write-off! His
response was - let me know if you get away with it!
So, he suggests exercise, getting outside 20 minutes a day, a
full-spectrum light bulb where I spend my most time, 1000 iu vitamin D and
1000 Omega 3 vitamins.
Last year I was taking 60mg Cymbalta (combination anti-depressant and
pain). I've been on 90mg since April and I'm trying not to increase that
medication. Our above normal temps in November have helped so far.
I'm having twelve for dinner tomorrow and I sat down to my computer to
rest between the cleaning and cooking. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
