I'm not trusting it, because I trust nothing until it happens, but it looks like my health insurance isn't going anywhere.

Looks like my health insurance is actually better than it was before. I'll have to talk to my dentist and optometrist to see what that means on their end too because it looks like if I had this classification when I got my dentures they would have been free. With my realignment that's about $5000 I wouldn't have had to pay out of pocket in pre-Joe Bidenflation money.

I'm not dicking around though. Especially not in my state. Going to find me some way of making at least $600 a month by January so somebody doesn't pull the rug out from under me after telling me that they can't take it away from me now. Jack could use a jolt to the bank account and a day or two per week out of the house anyhow. Just got to find a place that only wants help on weekends or something. I'll do holidays too!

Seizures can be triggered by looking at flickering lights, or objects passing by at a particular speed. In fact, a normal part of testing for seizures is to shine a strobe light on pt's face and run thru a set of frequencies while watching the EEG.

I'm sorry BRENDA. It must be difficult to have to be so careful so often. I hope your neuro has an answer.

Yup, I hate the strobe light when I have to go for an EEG. It is hard and tiring. Not long till the neuro. Thursday in fact. My regular doc figures one of my meds will have to go up.

Oh, well. All done including carpet combed.

Haven't been to the doc in a while. 130/80 blood pressure and 6.2 A1C.

Not bad for not trying at all. I figured both of them were going to be a lot higher.

No worries SIX. I hate my seizures for messing things up. Even simple things.

Sounds good SIX.

All the physical work you were doing for a while there is probably why your blood pressure is so good and your AC.

All back for today. A little bit of groceries done.

Hands have been bad because of too much recycling on Monday.

Not the place to post music, generally but ...

-

"Believer" by Imagine Dragons is about finding strength and meaning through pain and personal struggles. The song reflects lead singer Dan Reynolds' experiences with anxiety, depression, and his autoimmune disease, emphasizing how these challenges have shaped his identity and beliefs.

That's a jam.

I like Imagine Dragons. My favorite by them is Wrecked. About somebody who lost someone very important to them and they don't know how they're going to make it without them. Maybe how they don't even know if they can be a good person anymore without them in their lives.

This is a good one too SIX and it almost had me in tears in two ways. My dad one. A friend from high school said she asked me about my dad once when we were in school. She said I almost took her head off. I don't remember really but I can imagine why. Second is Blair.

Well, you know that saying what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

The day I lose my dad is going to be the real challenge. I lost my friends Dad, my Grams then got the Diabetes diagnosis all in 5 months. I still haven't come back from any of that.

I knew you'd think of Blair if you listened to that one.

Sorry, Brenda.
