Makahiki Clinic

The belated annual medical visit was made to the Makahiki Clinic this morning. A cup of coffee, the first time in almost a year, was procured at the fast food joint in the vicinity.

The only pressing purpose of the visit was the second of the two pneumonia inoculations. Complete tests (blood, urine, and fecal occult) were ordered. Hopefully, there will be no health issues forthcoming.

Dental appointments were also scheduled. Over a year has elapsed since the last visit. Two dental appointments were necessary because “super-duper corona” policy does not permit dental cleaning and examinations to occur on the same day.

There was a suggestion to schedule a “super-duper corona” mRNA vaccination appointment at a local hospital. Apparently, senior citizens over 65 years of age now qualify. At this time, the option will not be exercised.

Miscellany: The bath sponge appears to be gradually curing the skin of keratosis pilaris, the small scab-like bumps on the skin in the deltoids region. The affliction has been going on for years, most likely prolonged by improper skin care. The bath sponge has a mild abrasive surface that enables effective exfoliation, which is the key to treatment.
