Karen’s Commentary: My
allergy symptoms this year are the worst I can ever remember. But I think I say
that same thing every year. I normally take one over-the-counter oral medication
pretty much year-around, and a second nasal-spray medication whenever the first
one doesn’t do the job. And when things get REALLY bad, with no relief from
either medication, I take a trip to my doctor’s office for an injection that
finally does the trick. But this year, it’s a bit different because injections
can’t be given over the phone! So I called the office and spoke to a very
knowledgeable P.A. who works in the same office as my P.A. and she prescribed
some eye drops. I had very little faith that they would work, but lo and
behold, they really are helping! To sum things up, I may be griping, but I am
very, very grateful that I do not live in the last century when these and other
medications weren’t even available. I can’t even imagine just having to suffer
through all kinds of medical problems with no chance of any relief at all.
Guess I’m really spoiled, as we all are nowadays.
Don’t forget to check our Wonder Valley website www.wondervalley.org every now and then
to find out of any happenings in our area. Granted, there is not much going on
right now anywhere, but you never know what you’ll see on the website. Ken and
Teresa Sitz do a great job of keeping people informed!
Handy Hint: To
prevent eggshells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.
Today’s Thought: I
stayed up all night to see where the sun went, and then it dawned on me.
Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the
WONDERs all around us.
