I cannot imagine how violated you felt, Jinx. I am so sorry that happened.

Re Tired

I find My Cart very helpful. I can text my doc and get a quick response and see test results by the end of the day. For me it relieves stress after a mammogram or MRI, and I can talk with the doc the next day. It's also good for comparing bloodwork from one year to the next. You can look at a graph for each thing tested, eg. cholesterol, various vitamins, sodium, etc.

I'm glad you had good news today, Sue. The holidays always throw a monkey wrench into medical care. I injured my leg and have been waiting to get in today. I try to avoid ER.

I do agree with what you just said, Re Tired, that it is really helpful to have quick access to test results without waiting for a doctor to call. My doctor will post results often with some notes for me. We can discuss at an appointment, but it's helpful for me to have time to read through the results so I am thinking about questions to ask before we have the conversation.


In my mind, the biggest concern is access to personally identifying information (SSN, name, DOB, address, etc) and secondarily to health information. I can't recall whether I typically give SSN to doctors (seems like not??) but obviously they need all the rest of the info. And that info has to be stored somewhere, which is unlikely to just be a paper file anymore.

Sueb, the whole Love Shack Fancy aesthetic is Laura Ashley redux, no? It was here I hear, If you wore it the first time around, you can't wear it the second time. I hoped that was a lie, but I discovered truer words were never said. Those dresses make me look like Grandma Moses.

I think I kept the compact one with the magnifying glass that was in my parents' library.

Annegriet, Do you live in a particularly dangerous area? I would definitely go ahead and make necessary dental appointments with a reputable dentist. Gum disease is a pretty serious matter and we have no idea when this plague will be gone.

I join many of you, being in low spirits and discouraged even tho' I have much for which to be deeply grateful. Comfortable home, delivered groceries, nice neighborhood to walk, pup to lift my spirits. But there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I feel sorry for my family members struggling with kids, job issues. It's so sad.
