They provide printouts. But I’ll have to choose this year. Pictures of the colonoscopy, or scans from the mammogram scheduled the following day? Those will be on the hospital app.

> I assume you’re familiar with the “beer in shallow pan” trick?

No beer in the house, so I got a can on the way home. Forgot that I can’t use self-checkout with alcohol, so I got the red light and red screen. Manager came over and took care of. But didn’t ask for ID. Hmph.

Until my ovaries were removed, I only took a D3 vitamin 2 or 3 times a week. Afterwards my PCP started me on calcium. And last week my gyn started me on hormone therapy - gel and capsule. It’s all so complicated. (Relatively.)

Besides the PCP (yearly, or more often) and gyn (18 months), I have a dentist (every year), ophthalmologist (every 2 years), ENT (5 year checkup this year), and gastroenterologist (every 5 years). I think that’s it.

Since I can’t eat the strawberries which are ripening, I just sliced them up to put in the freezer for later use. Might be some strawberry milkshakes later this month.
