Can you believe this marks my 21st year of blogging? Some of my readers aren’t even that old!
Now I know why, at 70, my adrenal gland has given up the ghost, leaving me forever reliant on hydrocortisone. I would like to blame it entirely on the Keytruda medicine I took in 2024 for my melanoma, but I don’t think I can blame it all on the cancer curing drug.
To be honest, I may have played a part, because you see, I am an adrenaline junkie. No, I don’t jump out of planes, or fight fires, but I do thrive on business and social risks, for instance…
It takes a long time to become a good Queen. I often think about Queen Elizabeth II; how young she was when given so much responsibility. I admired her British sensibility, bringing calm thoughtfulness to her important decision making.
