Hubby has an eye appointment today. The first in Czech Republic. Yesterday we picked up our first insured medications from a pharmacy. The total copay was 80 czk (US $3.69) but only that high because one of the two meds was a particularly expensive one. Our GP prescribed prescription Voltaren pills to try to address my arm/shoulder issue. It's sort of a pain killer, but I take it more to reduce the inflammation that continues. So far it seems to be helping with that. Plus, I didn't have the numbness/tingling in my hands upon waking up. I truly think the fall on my s-i-l's stairs almost a year ago, plus the physical strain from the move, caused/exacerbated the injury. Way back when it happened, I had gone for an x-ray upon returning to the US. No bone break/fracture was found, but something was indeed wrong.

I got on the scale today and found I had gained back about three of the over four pounds I lost a few weeks ago. I hoped it wouldn't be so, but I understand why it is. I've been chowing down on certain higher cal/fat foods (back to bad habits). Unfortunately, the visit from my husband's friend and sister knocked me off the bandwagon. I'll be trying to get back on.
