Very slow today. Helped my wife clean the house yesterday. Mistake! Injured my back. The reason we had to clean the house is that our cleaning lady came down with COVI(D-19. We told her we couldn’t take the chance of using her again, because of underlying problems I have in my health.

Speaking about health. I came across a good guide of what to ask your doctor when he is suggesting surgery, or a procedure:
- If testing, what is the test for?
- How many times have you done the surgery/procedure?
- When will I get the results?
- Why do I neded this treatment?
- Are there any alternatives?
- What are the possible complications?
- Which hospital is best for my needs?
- How do you spell the name of that drug?
- Are there any side effects?
- Will this medicine interact with medicines I am already taking?
Do not assume the doctor will tell you everything if you don’t ask.
