Health Checks

lydamorehouse I am determined to be up-to-date on all of my health checks, so the past couple of weeks have been all about various check-ups. I got two vaccines I had not finished up (Shingles and Pneumococcal, the last being recommended for folks with asthma,) a hearing test (which I wrote about yesterday,) and then today I did my mammogram and a DEXA (which is bone density) check.
Whoo.
I am turning 55 this year, so I figure it's important to have, at the very least, a baseline from here on out.
I got all that done, so I guess I feel accomplished. Go me! The only other thing that is probably overdue is a vision test.
The only other thing of interest to report is, rather ironically, another live stream, albeit of a very different sort than HeyGo. I was finally able to watch my goddaughter Naomi's play. She is starring in The Queers. Here's a review: https://judy-nedry.com/fuse-theatre-ensemble-presents-the-queers/ ; and another: https://www.wweek.com/arts/theater/2022/03/15/the-queers-is-about-transgender-characters-living-loving-and-fighting-for-acceptance/
I've been thinking about the play ever since I saw it. I don't love it unequivocally, though I, of course, adore Naomi's acting. For myself, I had a lot of trouble sympathizing with characters who seemed hellbent on self-sabotaging the few good things in their lives. This play is partly autobiographical, however, so that explains a lot of that, I think. I don't know. It's certainly a testimony to the strength of the show that I'm still pondering it and having emotional reactions to it, days later.
