Have you been back to the Dr? What are they saying?

Basically that I'm falling apart!:) Still testing but I have poor circulation in my left leg that is going to require more testing. Getting an Arterial Doppler Test in a few weeks. Cardiolite Stress Test next Wednesday. Also the ultrasound of the arteries in my neck has discover some plaque. Haven't actually sat down with the doc yet and probably won't until the end of the month. Other than all that capola I'm actually feeling pretty good.:);)

I have one more OT appt for my hand. Continuing my PT exercises independently. Then I see the ortho this month for my hand, right ankle, and neck. Right ankle is an old injury, the others are arthritis. They changed osteorarthritis to arthritis NOS. Seems like my whole body aches at times, but part of it may be the cold I am now getting over. Then I see the ENT Dr for my ears and sinuses. Then I see the gut doctor. Three appts in the big city this month, all on separate days. In case you didn't know it, I have not been a happy camper lately. Taking all those NSAIDS was covering up a lot of problems, but life can get downright unpleasant without.

Haven't attended a quilting meeting for more than a month. And have done nothing, either, other than making some dresser scarves for myself. Just starting to crochet grocery bags again. Size I hook with heavy thread, so doesn't require much more than range of motion.

I am glad I changed doctors, but catching up on all my concerns is an ache.

Is that the stress test that they speed your heart up with a shot?I know they won't let me take a stress test haven't for 7 years now. I'm still ...... about this pain specialist they are going to require me to go to. Stinking state just like the FDA. They know I don't absorb stuff like a normal person they can tell that with the pee test I have to take every year, if one of you guys took the medication I did it would be off the chart mine is within the therapeutic range. That should tell them something.

I smell bar b que Mediterranean chicken on a stick. Oh boy Oh boy. Those are pretty good. Sell them at Costco. We tried their beef stroganoff in a refrigerated pack, 2 pack. Each one is just enough for 2. Not like homemade but for something quick and pretty good with good beef in it not bad. Man they had some prime ribeyes there ONLY $23 a pound. You gotta buy 3 so it's like 50 bucks. Thought about it for my birthday but said NAH maybe next year.

I mean I really do understand the reasoning because there are a lot of younger people that get them and they are on disability and they sell theirs but there should be some common sense also. I'm probably getting riled up about nothing, have never had a problem but who knows. They are looking for the doctor shoppers, sellers, people who take stuff that is not prescribed and people who run out too early or need early refills cause they were lost or stolen which isn't me and the doc knows that.

Learning to use fixed shutter speed and aperture. Not there yet but headed that way, maybe. Using automatic settings sure was simpler.

Where have you been hiding? I was getting worried. And missing videos & music.

Hey they have a good individual size chicken, yogurt, cranberry salad that's really good too. Perfect for me cause I need to try to eat at least 5 small meals a day and they are just right. Well I'll leave you guys alone going to watch Hacksaw Ridge that I see someone leaked a Screening copy out so nite nite.

What's a boudin ?
I see others already answered for me.

Sounds like you didn't know how sick you were until you went to the doctor.

I mean I really do understand the reasoning because there are a lot of younger people that get them and they are on disability and they sell theirs but there should be some common sense also. I'm probably getting riled up about nothing, have never had a problem but who knows.

Every time I see the Dr he ask where I keep my meds and I tell him I keep them in my safe. I'm tempted to take a photo but I doubt if he would like that my 1911 is right next to them. For those who don't know, a 1911 is a style of semi auto pistol. Mine is chambered in .45ACP 200gr HornadyXTP handloads.

In an effort to digitize a couple dozen Hi8 camcorder tapes, yesterday I ordered a couple adapters and cables from Amazon. They'll be here in the next few days. I spent about $10. Then, I found the equivalent parts I'd ordered in a junk box. Arggg.
