What a good guy...

I just got a reply from Dr. Lung. My original note was that the new inhaler was causing problems (and I listed them all). I said I wanted to go back to Advair and Spiriva and did he think that was an ok idea.

Here's what he said "At the end of the day, we should go with what works for you. If you're better on Spiriva and Advair, you can go back to that. Do you need a new prescription?"

I just think that is the nicest answer. Plus, it totally works for me. I feel much better today. Not perfect but way better. I'll bet it's even better tomorrow. And I have at least two months worth of both Advair and Spiriva.

I'm glad I tried something different so now I know what that's like and I'm glad I could go back to what works. win win win

My nails are a lovely retro pink. The woman at the salon plops these three rings of nail color sticks in front of me and I'm supposed to decide which of the 150 colors I want. Today I had Decision Paralysis. She pulled out this pink and said she thought it would be best so I said OK. And... I like it.

I also popped into the other nearby Grocery Outlet and found the spray on body lotion I was looking for yesterday. It's not massively cheap but about half what it is on Amazon so good enough for me.

OMG My brother just sent me the coolest picture:



This is the driveway into their PC repair shop. I'm not sure where the arrow came from but the CPU's and laptop are recycles that my sister-in-law painted and arranged. I think it's just genius. But, of course the cat is in charge. (For the past 25 years my own cats have all been indoor cats. The idea of this one coming in my house with all that dirt and probably fleas and whatever all over her makes me cringe. I am not letting Zoey see this photo.)

I love it when doctors do that. My GP was really quick to respond and change stuff when I had bad reactions to some meds.

I can't get over your lungs being cared for by Dr. Lung. I'm glad you and he get along well.

Oh! That's just what I call him. His real name is Dr. Lee but my regular doctor is also Dr. Lee. So rather than go with Lee 1 and Lee 2, I just do Dr. Lee and Dr. Lung (but not to Dr. Lung's face).

I was assuming Dr Lung was a nom de Internet, but can't help picturing a cute little Chinese man-- and maybe I'm right anyway? :)

I should have guessed, considering what I know of your sense of humor! I enjoy the way you think, and I'm glad I found you.

Thank you.

Many years ago I had an indoor/outdoor cat. The funny thing is that cats never get dirty. And no fleas either. Maybe just a little bit of sand on their paws and you might notice wet paw prints from time to time. That's all. No problem at all.

We had an indoor cat that kept picking up fleas from repeatedly jumping out of the front door to fight with the neighbourood cats. :)

You're taking this cat in? I used to have indoor/outdoor cats. They never had fleas, so maybe this one doesn't.

Yes, that's one sensible doctor.
