Friday, June 21, 2019, 3:30 p.m. [I didn’t blog about this group acupuncture day, but I did take pictures. So I can only guess what I would/should have said.] This was a very generic shot of the department’s sign as I waited in line at the receptionists’ desk to check in. This was what I…

Individual Therapy, Session 1
It seemed like I was waiting forever for this appointment. There were times over the past few weeks that I just wasn’t sure I could make it! I don’t know what I thought would happen, other than that I would die before the appointment date. Then I was concerned about interacting with the therapist, someone…
Group Acupuncture 2019, #3
Friday, May 31, 2019, 3:30 p.m. I have had a tremendously hard week! Yesterday I was certain I was ready to go back to a pen and legal pad. On Monday, I had noticed double-underlined hyperlinks in all my pages in my “Adventist Vegetarian Diabetics” blog and website, and I mistakenly assumed that the site…
Pain Physical Therapy #11
Friday, May 17, 2019, 3:00 p.m. I had a lot of ambivalent feelings prior to today’s appointment. Major feeling was guilt in extending my pain physical therapy treatment this long! Wasting Francis’ time with me when I can’t get motivated to walk. And being a pain for Linda to have to drive me. But not…
Group Acupuncture 2019 #2
Friday, April 26, 2019, 3:30 p.m. I was glad that my replacement Kaiser card arrived this week so I could use it when I checked in for acupuncture today. When the receptionist gave me the printout for this appointment, I noticed that I have a new appointment scheduled with the Hearing Aid Center on June…

Depression Group #9
Prologue (April 16, 2019) We were robbed on Tuesday while at South Shore Shopping Center. The thief was a young punk, a black male wearing a hoodie. So that has triggered my bias against Millennials and Young Black Males Wearing Hoodies. He apparently spotted my wallet sticking out of my tote bag that was in…
Depression Group #8
Thursday, April 11, 5:30-6:30 p.m. We got to Union City 40 minutes before group started, because we had errands. I needed to take a form into the Mission Bay office, and then to the post office with our two tax returns, all signed and sealed and hopefully delivered by Saturday (April 13). Just to San…
Depression Group #7
Thursday, April 4, 2019, 5:30-7:00 p.m. Today was another beautiful sunny spring day, and that helped a lot in fighting depression. The drive to Union City was a very smooth 25 minutes, making all the green lights, and not having heavy traffic. When I walked into Building A, I noticed that, for the first time…
Last Office Visit with Dr. Kalra
Monday, April 1, 2019, 10:30 a.m. It was another “early” morning, meaning I set the alarm clock for 7:30 a.m. But I was awake from 6:08 a.m. on, and felt yukky with an allergy sore throat and itchy, weepy eyes. I need Allergra! But I got up, turned the coffee on, and got into the…
