Movies and medical stuff

melliciousWe are going to see Wakanda Forever again this weekend, and we have already negotiated with sister & B-I-L about a Christmas movie - I think we decided on The Fabelmans. (If the reviews of Babylon had been a bit better I might have lobbied for that, but 60-some % on RT? Nah. And nobody was very interested in Avatar 2!)
(Warning for the delicate, some very minor girl-talk coming below!)
So I went to the cardiologist a couple of weeks ago - just a checkup, I was born with a heart murmur so I've been going to cardiologists all my life! But my BP has been high, and I'm over 60 now and they finally put me on a blood thinner. I don't know whether to blame it on Eliquis or not but I've felt pretty cruddy all week, although of course it's the time of year when everybody is sick even in a normal year. (We are lucky, apparently RSV & this-season's-covid have not spread as badly in Greater Houston as they seem to have other places. That's not to say it still couldn't change!)
(But on the other hand... is Eliquis supposed to make your face break out? Because I have the first zit I've had in quite a few years and I'm really ridiculously indignant about it - that fucker is HUGE. That's supposed to be the good thing about postmenopause, right? a nice clear complexion, and I've had it most of the time. I don't think my mother ever stopped breaking out completely, though, so I guess I've just been lucky!)
