I am so ...... off at myself. 10 years ago when I lost my legs I went to a malpractice attorney. He informed me that there was nothing I could do because they had changed the records and it didn't support my story of having 1 episode of anaphlaxis which they pulled me out of and continued to give me the albumin which put me into anaphlactic shock and a coma for 3 weeks causing me to lose my legs because my heart almost stopped. They said it was because of my malnourished condition which is partly true but they didn't follow the FDA procedures. 1 in 1000 develope anaphlaxis which was the first episode and at that time they are supposed to stop the infusion and take counter measures. They took counter measures but they continued the infusion and anaphlactic shock happens to 1 in 10,000. It's too late now because the statute of limitations in this state for malpractice is 3 years. I should've gone to another attorney but this guys was supposed to be the best but he screwed me.

At any rate I'm going in for an iron infusion today at 115pm. They do things a little differently and give you a little and see if any reactions then more and so on. Ginny had it done about a year ago and I have been living with anemia for a long time and the VA sent me to an outside Oncologist/Hemotologist which uses a better form of iron that has very few reactions. At any rate thats where I'll be all afternoon. I'm hoping for the best got one today and one in a week. Maybe I won't look like a ghost.
That's just SO wrong! I've heard so many horror stories about doctors (and had my own). Good doctors are precious and rare.
Well I lived through that. It was a walk in the park. How bout you @MattB101 how'd your halter work. Did it show any irregularities. I gotta do this again next week same time same station. Really nice people there. Lotsa Chemo patients. Mine was nothing compared to some of theirs. The guy next to me slept the whole time i was in that oversized Lazy Boy. He had 4 bags of stuff going into him and the guy on the other side showed Ginny how his port works. She was wondering cause her sister had to have one. Mine only took 2 hours poor guy next to me was putting in a 6 hour shift but slept the whole time I was there, fairly young too maybe 35. No problems whatsoever maybe I'll see an end to anemia. Glad my VA Hemotologist retired now people here were much nicer. She said they had 29 people today in for various procedures from Reclast to Chemo. Ginny is going to get her Reclast infusion there she had the iron about a year ago and might need that again.
I'm glad things are going better now.

On Monday I was out shopping getting a few needed groceries. There was a display with some really nice looking Jalapeno peppers. Knowing the temperature on Tuesday was going to be 70° I picked up a few of the peppers and a couple packs of ribs. Yesterday I spent the time outside with 4 racks of ribs in the smoker along with the Jalapeno poppers my daughter prepared. They were wrapped with bacon and filled with a mixture of cream cheese and shredded 4 cheese Mexican blend. While watching the smoker I binge watched Star Wars IV, V, and VI. The ribs turned out wonderful with the meat falling off the bone and the poppers were excellent. I used my Food Saver to package up 3 of racks for the freezer. I always trim the ribs and while they are smoking, I also smoke the trimmings. Of course, the bits and pieces get finished well before the ribs. I have to sample the bits and pieces, so when everything is done I am not all that hungry. The ribs will be heated up for tonight's dinner along with a couple of the poppers. I love the leftovers, nothing goes to waste.

A young boy was sitting on a city street corner next to a basket full of apples. Sign on the basket read "Apples - $100 each".

A Wall Street businessman walks up and says "Son, it looks like you have about 100 apples in your basket. If you sold them for $1 each, you'd sell them faster, and have your $100."

The boy says "Yeah... but this way, I only have to sell ONE!" :w00t:
