JUST A LITTLE WARNING!

I should have made it perfectly clear yesterday that you should never take any medications without the approval of your doctor.  Everything I take, no matter where I purchase it, has been discussed with my doctor beforehand at some point.

In years past I have had many cases of flu that always end in severe sinus infections, I suppose due to my Mohammed Ali nose that's been broken a time or two.  The z-paks are the only thing that has fixed that problem, but only at the direction of a doctor.  I have no idea if they actually work on THIS flu.  

Note: For this flu I took the standard stuff ... plenty of vitamins D, B and C, querceten, zinc, aspirin and gatorade.  

Isn't it funny that you can purchase so many antibiotics in Mexico for pittance with no prescription, but you can't buy anything in the U.S. without a $200 visit to the doctor, followed by the $75 (or more) medication.  Do they not have doctors in Mexico?  Why were my last $175 prescription pills, only $12 across the border?  

The bottles look the same, but here they take the pills out of the bottle and put them in ANOTHER bottle with lots of labels.  Maybe that's the difference in price, I don't know, but it seems rather ridiculous we are being SO overcharged!!

Yes, my doctor (or rather P.A. or even N.A.) know all about my border crossings.  They have even tested me before and after on a few occasions, to find the meds work.  One even asked me to pick up her prescriptions while I was there, which I did not do.  

So please, do not take any medications without the okay from whoever you see for those things.

In the meantime, Cooper is SO happy we are back in THIS home.  He got to play the ball game for about two hours yesterday.  That ended up testing my stamina (I failed) and my patience.  

I did watch one of the most edge-of-your-seat football games I've ever seen ... Kansas City against whoever in heck they were playing because I was so fascinated with Mahomes, I can't remember anything else.  Buffalo ... they played the Bills.  

Good grief, in the last two minutes, I think there were three touchdowns.  Mahomes at one point threw underhanded actually UNDER another player and it was caught.  Every second, the Bills thought they had it won until in the last 9 seconds I think it was, Mahomes got them down field far enough to throw a touchdown for the win.  This game will go down in history!!

I'm pretty sure there was another game I watched earlier, but it was completely forgotten after THAT matchup!!   So was the laundry that I did mid day that was still in the machine.

To finish off the night, I had some wonderful chicken pot pie soup and biscuits, dropped off to the sickie by my closest neighbors Shirley and Tom.  I cannot tell you how lucky I am to have plopped into this neighborhood.  Although my stomach is not sure what all this stuff is that keeping coming down the pipe, I'm loving every bite!!

Yes, she just cuts her biscuits long ways instead of making rounds.  That means more yummy crusty stuff!!

The best news is I slept like a log last night and didn't wake up until 4:30.  What a blessing that was.  I'm again feeling better and breathing normally,  just a little tired.  For some weird reason, I have no problem just sitting on there couch all day long watching mind-numbing TV.  I hope that changes soon!

This morning I will venture out for a few minutes.  I placed an order with Safeway that I can pick up just by driving by.  I only ordered ten things, so it shouldn't overtax me or my foggy brain.  How do I know it's foggy?  Because I keep doing all those brain games so I know when I'm back to normal, or at last some semblance of normal.

I'll again be on the couch!!!  But not for long!!
