Thoughts from the T-Shirt Lady

Before I started my treatments for cancer, I was on a cholesterol medicine. I stopped taking it - because I didn’t want it to interfere with the treatments. Maybe I was hoping that I would never have to take it again - lol!

Now that I am done with my treatments - my doctor put me back on it! I am also on a cancer preventing medicine - Arimidex, as well as Detrol LA - for bladder problems that I developed while on chemo.

What does all this have to do with aging? Well I’ll tell you. You should see my home. There are yellow stickies all over the place to remind me to take my medicines - they are all taken at nite. I forgot a few times, and suddenly remembered on the way to bed! So now, where ever I look, I will be reminded to take them at 7pm. And if I don’t remember - my dh will remind me.

I have a yellow sticky on my bathroom mirror, on the frig, on a puzzle book that I keep by my recliner - I’m really into Sudoku, another one on my monitor, and one on the tv in the kitchen. Of course, after awhile, I might get used to their being there, and not even see them - grin.
