DEAR HARRIETTE: When my husband and I first got married, we started off in Georgia. He wanted to go to medical school and was accepted to a school in Virginia. At this point, we already had our first child, but I wanted him to have the opportunity to achieve his dream, so I stayed in Georgia, and he went to Virginia. Along his med school journey, we got pregnant twice more. Managing a long-distance relationship and three children was hard on me, both mentally and financially.

Dear Doctors: I am a 74-year-old female and was diagnosed with popliteal artery stenosis in my left calf. When walking briskly, it is bothersome to painful. I stop, stretch and can continue, up to 4 miles most days. My internist has suggested I start taking Wegovy. Is this a known treatment?
