THIS FAT OLD LADY’S WEEK THAT WAS – EPISODE 1 

I do appreciate and respect healthcare professionals.  But sometimes … This week was sometimes. First. In preparation for my knee surgery, I need to get an MRI.  (I also had to have a ton of bloodwork done – 6 vials of blood later and that’s checked off the list.) I was told this on May…

THIS FAT OLD LADY CELEBRATES HER BIRTHDAY

How do you celebrate your birthday? I’m getting a mammogram. Yippee! I wanted something special to put on my boobs for my appointment, but sadly it didn’t occur to me that you can get such things on Amazon and (even more creative, of course) Etsy! Although, I couldn’t find exactly what I want. I WANTED…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S BUCKET LIST

I don’t have much on my bucket list.  If an opportunity comes up, great; but I don’t yearn for it.  Well, except for certain shows I’d love to do – but I have no control over that; but there was one thing I really wanted to do – sing with a big band – and…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S GOTS DEERS, LOTS OF DEERS

For awhile, when I’d go to bed at around 1 or 2 a.m., I could look out the bedroom window and see deer cavorting in the neighbor’s yard (or sometimes, even our yard); but I haven’t seen them for months. Seems they changed their schedule. My husband gets up earlier than me, and has seen…

THIS FAT OLD LADY HAS A HEARTBREAK

I’ve been going to the YMCA Saginaw pool for water aerobics for about 2 years now. My first visit there, I used the shallow pool and pretty much hated it.  The water only went up to my waist (at the deepest part) and the water was warm – almost hot.  Made for a very sweaty…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FLABBER IS GASTED

Are you tired of my posts about medical shit? Hopefully, someday something non-medical related will happen that inspires me to start typing, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I am a fat OLD lady and this is my life now. I take this drug, Promacta, for my ITP (immune thrombocytopenia – basically, an auto immune…

THIS FAT OLD LADY IS BLINDED BY THE LIGHT

Thanks to the side effects of Promacta, yesterday, I underwent (first of two) cataract surgery.  The pre-op was almost the worst part.  Jeez.  How many drops can you put in a fat old lady’s eye before said eye floats away?  And then, you wait, wait, wait and get bored, bored, bored and then there’s more…

THIS FAT OLD LADY GETS TOOK

First, let me be clear. New Year Resolutions SUCK. I made a “resolution” (okay, just a thing I promised I would try) this year, to figure out what I was spending money on.  I even made an Excel spreadsheet, because sometimes, I am organized as shit like that. I pretty much run everything through my…
