    Are You Ready For Christmas?

    by Ngozi Osuagwu, MD | December 19th, 2021

    Are You Ready For Christmas?

    This past week, I have been asked on several occasions – Are you ready for Christmas? My response is – “do you mean the birth of Christ”. With that reply, they give me a blank stare and then I smile – “I am as ready as I can be”.  

    I am as ready as I can be because I keep things simple and practical. The number one rule is that I do not spend more than I can afford. We do not want to enter the New Year stressed about bills that were incurred over the past year. Stress is not good for our health. Some of the most valuable gifts do not cost anything in terms of money.

    If you are still wondering what to give your loved ones, here are some gift suggestions:

    1. Gift cards/cash – This never gets old. The advantage of this gift is that the person can buy what they want. They can use it for anything. Often, I enjoy hearing what the person has used the gift to do.
    • COVID survival kit – Unfortunately, COVID is still around. In a little party cellophane bag, I will put a pack of tissue paper, hand sanitizer, gloves and a mask. This can be put in a purse or left in the car.
    • Baked goods – If you are really good at making a particular item that your family or friends love, you might choose to make that item and send it to them. I will be making applesauce cake soon to send to my siblings.
    • Gift of time – There is so much that you can do. Volunteer to baby sit to give a mother time to run errands. Run errands for a friend. Do laundry. Take an elderly person to their doctor’s appointment. Spend time with an elderly person. The list is endless. Make yourself available.
    • Words of wisdom – We all have a story of life’s lessons. Write them down and share them.

    Wishing each of you and all who hold your affection all of God’s blessings – peace, love, happiness, and good health.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS

      As usual, I enjoyed your newsletter. Although I’m not Christian, I think that it’s so unfortunate how Christmas has been secularized. Some people are so focused on the material that they’re still in debt after the new year has arrived. Enjoy your holiday!

    The book discusses common gynecological and women’s health issues in a series of witty and entertaining letters. These letters, all educational, offer suggestions on what approaches to take in tackling the medical problems that typically bring women to an ob/gynecologist. The letters are spiced with art, a poem and quotes. Although its emphasis is on gynecology and women’s health, it touches on some other medical issues that make women visit their doctors.

    The second half of the book briefly discusses the most common gynecological conditions and also provides an overview of sexually transmitted infections. A list of annotated websites dealing with the different topics in the book is provided for the reader who wants to pursue each subject in depth.
