End of Summer Flowers

In the mid 90s all week. Doesn’t feel like the end of summer!

I actually took my Sony camera to a park yesterday. Felt good to get out of my house/yard and explore a little bit.

On my second week of Invisalign. The first week was rough. It seems to be getting better now though. My teeth are getting used to it. No migraine pain for 2 weeks. That is something to be grateful for, too!

    hey sheila, i’m going to hop over to Linda’s site after commenting here but have you tried Botox injections specifically for migraines? there’s case studies floating around saying that it significantly reduces migraine instances by as much as 50%. i fall below the baseline for migraine diagnosis so the treatment won’t be available for me through insurance.

    beautiful pics! i wish it was still 90’s here in nj, i wanted to get pool time before the end of the month’s cover installation. Mike

      Hi, Mike. I did try a couple rounds of Botox years ago with no luck, unfortunately. I’ve also tried several of the different kinds/brands of injectable shots at home with no luck. How often do you get them?

        oh really? darn….i was really hoping that would help. i saw a lot of promising data on it. even though i could get botox shots, i am still being advised to do Naproxen (Alleve) pills. it sucks because i’m in that midrange, the only thing i can do is take 3 pills per headache which, imho, is a lot and could present liver problems down the road. this is why i try not to overstimulate myself and do stuff that could lead to a headache.

        Yes I try to keep my stress levels down because of that too. I limit my activity outside the house and inside the house it is quiet and calm most of the time on purpose! Be careful with the pain meds. I have chronic kidney disease now caused by taking ibuprofen too often 😦 I take two Tylenol and Ubrelvey when I get one now.

    Lovely photos! It’s still in the 90s here too. I have seen video on Instagram about the teeth alignment thing you are using, they say it is very painful. 😣

      Thank you, John. It has been painful but week two is a lot better than week one. I only have to do it for 6 months, hopefully. I’ve already paid for them so for me there is no going back now lol

        No going back for sure! I hope the treatment works well for you, Sheila. I have a lot of needed dental work but am waiting to start it this winter as I am going on Medicare in December. I’m gettin’ old!

    The 90s doesn’t feel like summer??? We had a few days of cooler temps but we are/will be in the 90s for the next week, according to my weather app. 🥺
    The last couple of days it has been overcast/foggy in the early morning, but hearing up and clearing by late morning. 😖
    I did get out to get some foggy photos. 😊

    Hooray for the break in the head pain…! Those flowers are intensely beautiful! Sending love your way. Linda (ps I haven’t forgotten about catching up, it’s just my hubby is away and it’s been harder than I thought doing the whole single parent thing!)
