This year we’re making it pretty easy to check off every box on your Christmas list and then some. For my December blog, I decided to put together a little budget gift guide. Holiday Gifts Under $10 For those inexpensive gifts that still say you care (5 bucks and under) these items are a steal:…
Whenever someone asks me what I do for a living and hear that I’m a pharmacist, the follow up is what do I do all day besides “putting pills in a bottle.” I completely understand why people ask this question. Before I got into pharmacy, I thought all that happened behind the counter was pill-counting…
The need to rent a wheelchair can arise at almost any time. Injuries, accidents, surgeries, and visiting relatives are all common situations that may require a wheelchair for a short period. Where can you get a wheelchair for a day or two? You can always ask around—friends or family may have an old wheelchair in…

The Holidays will be here before we know it. Are you ready? I am!!! Yes, I am definitely bragging. I’m bragging because I am almost done with all of my holiday shopping, and I haven’t shopped anywhere outside of Oswald’s so far. Holiday Gifts for the Family My nieces and nephews were easy to shop…
Surgeries and recovery times are getting shorter and shorter. New procedures, like arthroscopic knee surgeries, have all but eliminated painfully long recovery times. Most of this is good news, but what happens to you when you are discharged too quickly? You’re on your own once you’re out of the hospital. This can be a problem…
