  1. If you have kidney problems, they tell you NOT to take Advil, etc and only take acetaminophen.   I had a nasty bruise on my chest from a car accident last August and  they restressed that. I took a lot but, way under the maximum dose for a day. Took them for close to a month. I was getting checkups every two weeks  after my trasplant then  and my kidney is fine.

  2. I lived in Dublin, CA for 15 years (1997-2012). The women's facility was inside the base grounds. It is a reserve base. The whole area was military  during WWII.  It was the Seabee's Pacific HQ. Where there  is now a big shopping area was a juvenile facility. It's where George Forman learned to box. And east of that where Scott Adams had his drawing studio and a restaurant was a large naval hospital.  Right after 9/11 all you could hear from over the hill was the soldiers practicing on the shooting range.

  3. She was kept for a while in the Federal women's facility in Dublin, CA. Heidi Fleiss was there at the same time. It was adjacent to an army reserve base (Camp Parks) that was just over a 100 ft ridge across the street from where I lived. I rode my bike past it once. Was not a max security facility as I could see the women in the yard and they had picnic tables and kid's play equipment for when the family visited. Next to that was the Alameda County Jail (Alameda Couty has Oakland in it). North of that is the Alameda Sheriff's bomb range   where Mythbusters would blow up stuff.

  4. I went to the transplant center for a checkup yesterday and asked what vaccines I should get this fall. They told me RSV,flu and COVID.  I will get all 3 but not all at once as I don't want a really sore arm. Since I am immunocompromised, I need them.  I noticed that being immunocompromised, I don't get my allergy as bad as I did in the past. I would have to take an antihistamine every day during the ragweed season but the past two summers have not. Just sneeze once or twice in the AM once or twice a week and no stuffed/itchy/runny noseor itchy eyes or ears.
