Judy I'm sure there are things Medicare doesn't cover. i always had to pay for contact lens evaluation out of pocket regardless of where i went. DH had me switch from my optometrist once I hit Medicare age which was a long LONG time ago. i dont know if anything has changed since then...

you can get flea and tick meds OTC at costco ( dont need a prescription). I would think at places like Walmart and Sams too. costco also fills prescriptions for a some pet meds at the pharmacy. also at pet supply places like petco. I dont think its less expensive than at the vet...

diane sue this sounds like exact thing we are doing friday. almost everyone who wants to see clearly needs cataract surgery if they live long enough. my DH has the preliminary exam/set up for surgery. he is gradually having issues seeing writing on the TV screen and other small...

we did our local park hike/walk for 1 hr 20 minutes today. two rounds of therapy later. more well wishes for Flopsy. we weren't sure about going this morning. the forecast was good, but we woke up to rain. then it mostly stopped later on so we went anyway. DH mis getting a check for...

we did some yard work today so taking it off otherwise except for therapy stretching. its nice to have family living reasonably close by. we used to have that but no one left near here.

we had very pleasant weather on NYE day which really brought out the lunatics. this was way worse than the usual. if itis raining or blustery its much more subdued. but it was sunny warm and pleasant. so be careful what you wish for!. i did a mt bike around the neighborhood today for...

Cathy good to know you survived without too much difficulty! i have no clue what gets put into "explosives' these days but its way way louder than even a few years ago. i dont know what tannerite is, will look that up the legal stuff is not ridiculous but no way to even guess what...

neither of us felt the urge to walk again today. we had a rough night. the neighbors made a ridiculous amount of noise. these are bombs going off, not "firecrackers". they are so loud they might be half a mile away, impossible to tell and cant do anything about it anyway. we get to...

We did our walk this morning. it was lovely out. there were areas of low fog with perfectly still water except for one guy in a motorboat leaving a trail of photogenic ripples. sunshine but cold. the lighting was gorgeous. took longer than usual because there were lots of birds...

I did a costco run this morning with a few stops along the way back. all done for the week. we did some yard work this afternoon and then i walked the yard up and down for another 35 minutes. its dry right now but cold with fog leading to some black ice. we plan on walking tomorrow...

we tried the ski idea today but it didn't work well. the road had been driven on big time so there were tire ruts with only the middle of the road not torn up. and that was uneven too we went for half an hour but temps were going up and the snow getting sticky so we bagged the idea...

cathy any combination of rain on top of snow is ugly, if it happens, hopefully not a lot of volume. i did a 10 min spin to warm up and stacked upper body and 2 therapy sessions. tomorrow we're taking the skis and going to see if we can get to skiable snow. after all the wind, rain...

Cathy we have been to Utah many times. its not a ridiculous drive for us, 2 days each way, and it used to be a sunny dry and lonely place. social media fixed that!!! parks did plenty of advertising too. still the scenery is amazing. these days it is WAY busier. we used to stay in...

plan on taking the day mostly off today. i did one therapy session and will do another before dinner. i count it as an ab workout because it involves a lot of ab work along with stretching and balance. cold and rainy today. judy hoping you didnt get an ice storm. you too cathy. it...

Blech on ice storms!. Judy, hope you luck out like we did. Today we walked our usual park walk again, 1 hr 20 minutes. thought we would go to a different park but it was decent out early, with rain moving in later so we did close by park. busy compared to what its been like lately...

I'm here to say the whole storm thing fizzled and we got no wind, just intermittent rain. but anticipating a power out, I did a load of wash, made a pumpkin pie, therapy work, ran the DW, did a 30 min spin, cleaned up some lingering paper work, then facetimed with cousins for a while...

we have a possibly unpleasant weather situation pending mid day today. maybe a lot of wind. the forecasters are hedging a bit on where and when it will arrive or miss us and fizzle out. I'm assuming we will be out of power. seriously bad timing from Mother nature. Merry christmas to...

Did our park walk again this morning. an hour 20 minutes using our normal route which is open again. quite a few trees down and tomorrow there might be another wind storm. its finally snowing in the mountains. its been too warm and all rain. we are hoping that turns around now...

our insurance covers most PT places. never found one it didnt cover. im a great believer in PT. the lady i saw last is good. I'm surprised the most effective exercises are the least complex and actually quite easy. i do them more often than they suggested but not crazy. instead of 3x...

good morning everyone. hope everyone is getting organized and getting decent weather for celebrations. yesterday we met up with our friends to start planning for a trip to the southwest in april. skipped cardio yesterday and did 2 series of therapy yesterday. this morning we will try...
