Self Care and The Single Life

Number One

So here’s the dilemma when you are rounding the corner to 80 and you need some pain relief, some anxiety protocols, some knee intervention, and some back soothing. Warnings are everywhere – beware of liver damage from this pain reliever or that. Beware of this Rx as it may cause heart failure. You know the rhetoric. You know the drill. So the Brother and I have come up with our own individual remedies:

Oscar: a combination of bottled H2O, Vitamin Water, and splash of vodka. The concoction levels out anxiety, pain, and all sorts of troubles. AND, his organs are no longer at the whim of Rx side effects.

Gladiola: My solution is different. My morning coffee is tanked up with Ovaltine vitamins, hot chocolate mix, half and half, and a crushed high potency aspirin for back pain. Evening finds a solution of wine with a crushed Advil sprinkled in, followed by an 8 oz. bottle of water infused with electrolytes. My body thanks me!

So do what works for YOU.

Without apology!
