    Test is done. it's for endocrinology to check a possible future issue. not a problem but could eventually need treatment if it changes. I'm not sure exactly what they are looking for but I asked for two containers. I stay well hydrated and needed both. it's a PITA because you have to catch...

    cathy its good you can at least talk with your siblings about your parents. my family was a disaster. my brother didnt get care for our mother. it would cut into what he hoped to inherit. she conveniently died quite suddenly at age 98 and turns out brother cut my sister and I out of...

    I did therapy work for 30 min , then 15 min on the spin bike and the premix for x-train ba, sh, ch. the 1-5 premix. it ended up being a lot of pushups because I'd already done some push ups and curls as part of my regular therapy that I use as an overall warm up. I cant take my...

    The thing about the knee is this is a sort of new injection, and its not clear what is the best protocol. some people say dont do anything for 6 weeks. well, no that wont work! my doc said 1 week. so one week it is. it may do nothing and it may help some. I'm going to use the spin...

    Didnt do a lot today. Ive done my therapy work every day, so many times I dont even think about it being exercise much. today I did a uphill/downhill yard walk for 25 minutes. I didnt just sit all day, but kept moving after icing my knee for half an hour. nothing that strenuous. did...

    Judy I dont know if this is good or bad news for you, but I heard today on the radio while driving to my knee injection that peloton bikes would be available for the holidays at costco. they went on about some commercial peloton did was a big flop and insulted women etc that hurt their...

    Carolyn we go thru a lot of stuff! Its not my favorite but its ok. its a caper type story. british expressions are hard to track and at least when you see the words you know you weren't mistaken about what was said, you just dont know what was meant! (all those jokes about 2...

    I certainly feel I could delay this procedure depending on how much inconvenience I want. its not an issue so far at all. my vision test at my annual exam is a little less sharp. it feels like the time to do this is before it becomes a big problem. if all goes right I should not need...

    Well all is not perfect as its a little tricky to turn on all the components apparently. lots of swearing but finally ok. still some TV wrinkles. watched two streaming series tonight and sound was great.. it was weird. the sound from the tv is so bad you think you've lost your hearing...

    we tried 3 movies last night from Hulu. I refuse to sit for 2 hours if no good. we gave each a short trial. all three were terrible. we will drop hulu subscription unless there are some series to watch. even the review sites are unreliable. rotten tomatoes, metacritic, etc...

    We are working out our issues with the new tv. need some cables and may need to upgrade our old sound system. all new tvs have crummy sound. they are little more than plastic screens. no support structure for speakers. we are pretty low on the size totem pole with a 55 inch. seems like...

    Hi shannon... Ive had a heart problem that took a long time to track down. I was mid fifties when it showed up. If your problem persists, dont hesitate to go back to cardiology. it took several years to diagnose my problem because it was very very intermittent and hard to catch. I...

    Our house was not designed for an 85 inch Tv. not sure I'd like that anyway. we are not sports people and don't enjoy sci-fi or "blow it all up" movies. 55 inches is fine. the sound quality is not great. very flat and tinny but there is no TV internal structure to support a big...

    Let me say the short bit of the redbull rampage I had time to watch was absolutely crazy! I have no clue how anyone can do anything like that. someday soon while its raining and I have some time I will look at more of it. Judy its far crazier than the 90's. how any of these people lived...

    I had no clue electric bikes weighed that much. the ones Ive seen were maybe?? 60 lbs? not light, definitely a consideration for what bike rack can handle it, and how you get it on the rack.

    My mt bikes is heavier, probably 30 lbs. its a hardtail but I need a rack on the back and that weighs several lbs. Judy you are so consistent with the rower and the peloton. I think we made the mistake of getting a water rower. it made too much noise. Dh was sure it would be great...

    diane sue so sorry you didnt have success right away. I had no idea electric bikes were anywhere near that heavy! my road bike is 25 lbs with all add on things like mirrors, odometer, tools, extra tube. its carbon fiber which was a big deal when we bought it. I've never stopped riding...

    As long as I'm dressed right, I prefer cold to warm conditions. you need to allow for constant wind chill on road rides. riding generates a lot of wind flow and one needs bare skin covered. I have a hoodie that works great for riding with ear and neck protection. I have a helmet cover...
