Not exactly bushcraft holistic mumbo jumbo, more on the modern line. Doing a preventive medical move.
I went to the MD to get my heart meds updated yesterday. The Doc asked what I was up too, noting the outdoor activities I had listed as hobby fare. I told him I was also constantly engaged in projects around the house.
He asked when I had my last tetanus booster?
Since I could not remember, and really felt I needed one, the result was a poke in the arm with a pointy needle.
Two pokes actually since I got a Pneumonia shot too.
I woke at 5 am in pretty heavy discomfort from a very sore arm and I have felt like crud all day.
On the up side I did manage to wrangle a 6 month heart med script out of him, and I now finally have a year supply, and a 6 month cushion, of the mandatory meds that keep me alive and kicking day to day. (blood pressure control).
I have been working on accumulating that goal for the past 10 years and it has finally been accomplished between three doctors and four pharmacies.
Nothing I take is legally controlled, they just keep everyone on a short leash so they can insure an office visit fee every 3 months! Guaranteed income.
