Almost every one of my friends are coming down with what seems like a flu bug. It starts with a headache, then chills and even emotional ups and downs. It’s really strange. I keep saying I’m not going to get it…trying to think positive and all that. BUT, I’ve had half a headache all day and just feel icky. No doubt why I didn’t want to go to the grocery store today. Perhaps it wasn’t just my flaw of procrastination.

Croup of cold
I’m concerned about my youngest son. For the last three days the cough he has, has been getting worse. Also he just recently got over strep throat and now has another sore throat. I’m getting a bit frustrated with his doctor, because he isn’t addressing the issue of his cough. Tomorrow I’m going to have to make another appointment for my son, and I’m going to be firm with his doctor that this cough is not normal. It sounds like croup to me. It may be time to change doctors.
Teenage acne and adult skin help
I really feel sorry for my daughter’s close friend. She has a very bad acne problem which indeed lowers her self esteem very much. Not to say anything bad about her mom, but she really doesn’t have the support at home for these kind of problems nor the finances to help with her problem. I’ve kind of taken her “under my wing” so to speak, by helping her with the right kind of hygiene, facial wise and also advising her to keep her hair out of her face and not to keep touching her face in case that has something to do with more acne. I don’t know… it is what my mom taught me, and by no means am I now in the medical field, but I always have told this kind of advice to my daughters and son’s and it has seemed to help during the teenage years.
Resurgence is a skin product that helps resolve wrinkles and lines in the face also. I think I’d like to try this, myself. I’ll of course need to do more research on it, but if it works, I sure could use it. It’s basically for aging skin to revitalize it. I think it’s time to admit that I could handle the fact that I would like to try something like that.
There are Murad Coupon Codes that give you a great discount on a skin cream and treatment that firm up the skin and help revitalize it. Normally I don’t believe in buying products that I’m unsure of, but a friend of mine recommended this cream and since it’s not a pill or drug and not a shot, It might be worth the try.
Health plans for older people
I had a very long conversation with my favorite aunt about medicare plans, yesterday. I’m not sure how I can write this with out getting all political, but I do have to say that I am rather frightened about getting older and having to make plans for my coverage. I’m not in the greatest health and haven’t been for the last two years. Before that, I was in great shape but when my health started to decline. After talking to my aunt, I’ve started to worry about health insurance and what will happen when I get a bit older.
My aunt has gotten on the internet an has been browsing various sites to find the right plans that fit her needs. She is covering herself, just in case the need arises, since she is now over 65 yrs. of age, and lets face it, I’m sure it is a concern for her. Prescriptions she needs are very expensive and it helps to have reliable coverage. There are conditions she has that indeed need to be taken into consideration while she is making her plans.
In a way, I’m glad Auntie is looking into all this for herself, as she can then tell me about it, since it does get confusing for me. My husband takes care of our insurance so far, but heaven forbid if anything happened to him, I need to know how to make plans for coverage on my health. I’m happy to know there are guides out there that can help and inform older people.
Support the cancer fight
My daughter came home from school today, and told me that she wanted to have cancer awareness ribbons made. She has done marathon walks against cancer and for people who have cancer, and are cancer survivors. Despite of her t-shirts she wears and the bracelets, she wants to do more…bless her heart. She is my youngest daughter and even at eighteen years old, she is so into the fight, that it makes me proud she is the person she is and that she is aware of the importance of the issues.
My daughter has fought against cancer since she was old enough to understand the meaning of the word. Cancer, especially lung cancer runs in our family. When she came home today and said she wanted ribbons made, I had no qualms about her request at all. She is still in her senior year of high school and doesn’t have a job, so she was a bit hesitant to ask me to pay for the the making of these ribbons, but after she showed me a site that we can get them made, I was and am in full agreement and will support her request to the utmost.
My mother, my daughters Nana, is a lung cancer survivor, This issue hits close to home. It is indeed hereditary, as MY Nana… my Mom’s mom died from lung cancer, as did her mother before her. Seems in our family it hits the oldest daughter in the generations and I am the oldest, so I try to be very careful. Still, my grandmother never smoked a cigarette in her life, so it goes to show that it can strike when least expected, even if a person leads a healthy life. I wish I could ask everyone to get these ribbons and wear them. But I’m sure my daughter will make a campaign of it!
