Chuck Berry had a less-than-well-known song named “Too Much Monkey Business.” It is embedded at the blog’s end. That’s what my last several days have felt like. My wife and I have driven thousands of miles without a flat tire. In the last week, we have had two, one on each of our two BMWs. The BMW X5 that we are going to load up with peritoneal dialysis supplies for our forthcoming trip to visit with relatives in Indiana is in the body shop to have a dent removed from the rear hatch door where I put the garage door down on it. We took it in Monday and not a word has been heard from the shop since although I was promised that we would be informed ASAP on how long repair was going to take.

Yesterday I had my monthly labs with Fresenius. Since it was my quarterly visit, my catheter lead was changed out which takes some time, I picked up supplies that Fresenius provides, had blood drawn, etc. I was informed that Fresenius will be providing flu shots but they as yet don’t have info on when they will be available. Both my wife and I are scheduled to have the standard flu shot, the new COVID shot, and an RVS in the coming weeks at CVS. Tomorrow I hope to have the initial lab readout and will share on tomorrow’s blog any/all areas of apparent deviation from expected norms. Chuck Berry is next:
