Alert - NWC Broken Main

Created picture.

There is a broken NWC water main on Hall Boulevard. I am told that if you turn left at Stella Maris coming from Shortwood Road, then take the second left, you will find Hall Boulevard.

TD Care Pharmacy The Hidden Gem


I have always advised my Bark Di Trute supporters not to support businesses where customers are not given superior treatment. 

During my health challenges, I only go to those pharmacies where I get excellent treatment. Lee's Pharmacy on Red Hills Road, Alchemist Pharmacy on Hope Road, and today I will take a look at TD Care Pharmacy on Downer Avenue.

TD Care Pharmacy is a relatively small pharmacy tucked away at the corner of Downer Avenue and Old Hope Road. The moment you enter that pharmacy, you are out in a few minutes. The place is not crowded, and that is what makes the difference. Their staff and management can be described as a loving and caring bunch, ready to serve their customers.

You will enjoy going there because the pharmacist has time to give you advice about the medications that have been prescribed by the doctor. When you go to some pharmacies, you hand in your prescription, and it is the cashier who hands you your prescription. She/he cannot discuss the medication with you because the cashier is not a pharmacist.

For a small pharmacy, it is amazing to see how many items they have for sale. I believe one of the reasons for their excellent service is due to the fact that the owner is a pharmacist and she works there.

The pharmacy is located in the same building where the diabetes Association has their headquarters.

New Kingston, One Big Parking Lot

Created picture.

A Bark Di Trute supporter reported that Seaview Avenue and Fairway were blocked. Old Hope Road was converted into a one-way street, turning all of New Kingston into a massive parking lot. This happened yesterday, Tuesday, October 13.

Why do we fail to maintain our roads at night? Can we maintain our roads during the school holidays?

Alert - Vernon Derby's Operation Postponed



Once again, I will brief you on the health issues that I have been dealing with for nearly two years. I hope you have learned a lot from my experiences and that you will take better care of yourselves.

Everything was set for my radical prostatectomy this Thursday, October 15, but it has been postponed. The doctor was impressed with my medical test results, which are due to my lifestyle changes. My weight went from 230 lbs to between 174 and 175 lbs, and my A1C1 (test for blood sugar level) is 5.9. The shocker is that there is a trace of blood in my urine. Another series of tests will follow, and I hope it is nothing major.

The doctor prescribed Androcur to slow the growth of the cancer. It costs JAD34,000 per month with the NHF card. It's good to have that NHF card. The side effect of this drug is that it can send a man into a state of menopause. It's not pretty. It reduces your testosterone, so it does not encourage the development of cancer.

I just want to remind you all that it is very important to do a complete blood test annually, which is referred to as an executive profile. Women must do their breast cancer checks, and men must do their prostate checks. Note that men can also have breast cancer.

Thanks to you all for your support. Have a good day.






You should also do your colonoscopy and your endoscopy. Many of us ignore our hearts. This workhorse works whether we are sleeping or we are awake. Sometimes it gives us a serious wake-up call referred to as a heart attack. Continue to do research and find out more about how to protect your health.


I have to tell you this... I just found out this morning that my friend knew my urologist from when he was a boy. My urologist's father and her relative constructed. Jamaica House. The world is very small, so we must love and care for one another.

Congrats to Kenneth Shaw JP, who is always giving blood. Thanks for offering to help. Thanks to Sam Carty and the members of the Cross Road Route Taxi Association for donating blood.

Alert - Earthquake


 

Scamming Taking A New Form?

Good day, my friend. A senior police officer brought to my attention that there is a lady seeking support to have her hysterectomy done at the Mandeville Hospital in Manchester. This was posted on social media. She says she also needs blood. She states that the operation will cost JAD1 million.

You will understand my concern regarding this matter because people have been fantastic in giving me support during this time of my medical challenges. I would hate to know that someone is abusing the generosity of the Jamaican people. 

I checked with a doctor connected with the Mandeville Hospital, and he says that Mandeville is a public hospital and it does not charge that amount for a hysterectomy.

The police officer who spoke to me is convinced that this lady is engaging in scamming.

If you have any information on this matter, then WhatsApp me at 876 816-5261.

The scammers are very active, so be alert. They love to target the elderly.
