Good morning, friends. Fall has a way of making me lazy. Or maybe it is the extra pills that I´m taking. Who knows. I have been reading but I cannot read for too long because I tend to doze. Lili gave me her last book when I went to her house for lunch. She is writing very short stories so I can read 3 or 4 and do something else. She also sent me a link of an anthology of minifiction written by Spanish speaking writers. I am reading that little by little too. I have to have some medical exams as the last doctor I went to see wants to know everything about me, including sugar and blood pressure. I told him that I had no problem but my last exams were taken years ago. People change with age. Two weeks ago, Dixie found that Humberto had some hidden pills for diabetes. I think that it is better to tell the people closer to you about your medical problems. It is a shame, specially as he is a doctor. I´ll check online if the new meds have side effects. I´m supposed to take higher doses each week. But the doctor told me to be on the lookout although he did not tell me what should I check. Lately, it seems that we all will have to study medicine if we want to stay alive.

I'm sorry you're on more medication. Feeling tired could be a side effect. You might be right. We'll all need some medical training just to understand what medicines we're taking.

I woke up with a headache and I have been sleepy all the day long. I agree that we must tell about our medications to our closest ones. Well my husband would forget 3 minutes after I tell him.

Sorry you have more pills. I am glad she found those. They need to know what each other has happening in case something happens. We know a guy that didn't tell his wife or surgeon that he was prediabetic and he ended up in a nursing home for a while.

I agree that others should know what meds we are taking and for what. You’re right about studying medicine. So much to know about side effects, etc….

Our partners should know all medications that we're on. It may be important one day. Have a good day.
