Going to the dentist. Think THAT might have something to do with it? Going out to find a pretty tree!

quite warm, and raining. I do feel good that I'm finally attending to this necessary dental work, as Dad lived til he was 98, and I would like to be able to chew for a few more years, and maybe even smile! The expense will probably get me down for a while, tho I can cover it, but 2 grandbabies also cost a few!

If you need a lot, you might want to look into it.

I took my mother in while she was visiting and she received some needed care for about ¼ of the US price.

but I don't think I'm going to leave grandbabies!

I have to figure out the engineering to determine whether I need 'a lot,' and how to do it. I'll say I need a fair amount.

if you change your mind, there are some places close to the border that provide nice housing, meals and all your care.

Am thinking I need to ask my doc for a different statin as this one brings depression and exhaustion, and with MS I don't need any more of that stuff.

I know it's Lipitor because I take it and stop, take it and stop and the difference within a couple of days is very noticeable.

I read somewhere that there is some connection between low cholesterol in the brain and depression.

and discuss it with my doc in July. I kind of take it sporadically.

So the idea is its better to have more cholesterol in the brain??? Sounds like they're still learning about this stuff, eh?

I THINK I'll assume the risks without it. Will, of course, check with my doc. Dad lived to 98, and ate more red meat, and butter and whole milk, and fewer vegs than I do.

Heading to the cottage, so more (better stuff!) later!
