~A Phone Call Day Again~
It wasn't planned but today turned out to be a phone call day ..
I got a call from my Dr and she said I have to go back and
possibly redo my pills. They got my blood work done and
the Dr is not pleased..Apparently I should be in a coma my
thyroid is so off..I have to change my diet as my potassium
is off ..I can fix that just eat a banana a day, But I have to go
back again..the 20th. Same orders..make sure I take my
pills..and avoid stress..ok , I wonder does she know this
doesnt help? My appointment to go back is the 20th..:-( My
eyes are slowly getting better the drops do help..I called
the pharmacy here to find out about something to help me
put them in .. a young man answered and informed me they
dont have anything that would help..at one time they did but
for some reason they dont know..was unsanitary which i
honestly dont see how that could be..he said "can you call
a neighbor to come over and put them in for you?" ..I told
him very nicely no..that i didnt know my neigbors and i
dont think they would really wanna come over every 6
hours just to do that..and I wouldnt ask them too. I get some
in it..I just have to be careful I dont poke my eye with it :-)
some gets in thats the main thing and they are better.....
So then I get a call from my landlord..I owe him $ 185.oo
for the balance of my rent..he did say he would come and
fix the toilet well Lewis would..and I mentioned about the
window in the kitchen not having a storm on it.. Lewis, he
said, will be by here in a few days, and to show him the
problem with the toilet and the no water coming up thru
the new hand held shower hose.. I apologized for being
a naggy pest and he said he would do his best to TRY to
get things fixed for me..he knew there were 2 windows
but he didnt plan on one being the other here in the living
room and said he would get this place fixed up for me..hes
a good kid..just young.. hes TRYing..and thats all any of us
can do.. I know I sure do, minute by minute :-D
So then.. lol. I get a call from my other Drs office, the ones
that amputated my legs..I have to go and see them, my
Dr here called them and told them I needed an appt. Im
glad I don't have to go all the way up where they are its
almost an hour ride..but they come here every 2 weeks
at the same place where I used to see them before..She
made the appointment for April..long time, but unless I
wanted to go all the way there I could..or I could go and
see him tomorrow when they will be here at the clinic..I
cant get a ride at such short notice .. I have to have at
least a week, and the Dr only comes here every 2 weeks
the only time again is in April. Unless something drastic
happens to my fingers or stumps I can wait until then..
April 3rd for that one..
If my phone rings one more time and I have to set up another
Dr visit with a cardiologist ..well I will NOT be happy. I have 2
appts this week but here at the house..my councellor and my
other caseworker Julia is back from APS.. she wants to come
by and see me.. Im just so popular lately..needless to say my
stress level has risen drastically today and this is not going to
be a long post - well not a super long one :-)
I heard a crash during the nite last nite..I got up at 3 am
again..I looked all over to see what it was made the sound..
scared me for a while..and of course I saw my boy had
been getting shadows again and knocked my clock off
my wall..was just a plastic one..a cheapie so didn't do any
damage just knocked the battery out..did scratch the face
tho.. Im glad it wasn't the chimer..or he would have really
gotten a spanking..he knows not to touch that clock..he
looks so pitiful when he sits by it and wants to touch it so
bad.. its funny.. LB - well that boy is stressed too.hes been
hovering really bad..hes sticking to me like glue..and will
come up to my chair put his feet up on the armrest and
meow at me.but he says "MOM" MOM" many have heard
him talk..:-) we are all stressed here..:-)
ONE unstressful thing, tho, Penny was here, shes so worried,
but she made some spaghetti sauce for me..and even cooked
the pasta as well ! ..shes so sweet and shes a good cook too..
I told her my Dr said I have to eat a banana a day cuz my
potassium is very very low..or I have to take those ickky pills
ive had those and ohhh boy..talk about AWFUL tasting ..and
they are huge! I like bananas so ..I'll do that- I love peanut
butter n jelly with banana slices..that's good eatin..
Well that's the update on my great day today and I am gonna
go watch tv..I say that every day and I bet I only see maybe
not even an hour of it..and every time I do wake up and start
to watch it I don't know what it is cuz its changed to another
show! :-) I have more problems.. but well all I can do is all I
can do..and that's TRY...and I sure am trying VERY hard :-)
Im gonna TRY to find my bed..and my clicker AGAIN :-)
well after I TRY out one more of those great doughnut holes
out there in the kitchen :-) Nitey Nite..:-)
Y'all have a good one, Y'hear? love ya..and thanks.. :-)
ALways, Lois ****
God Bless you is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe
until I write again..

I know that you find all these phone calls so stressful but try to look on them all as POSITIVE happenings. Surely it's better to get all these calls from people who, in the long run, may make your life a little easier than to be ignored!!!
I had a wonderful day yesterday, sewing mostly but a little research on the computer looking for a few more of my ancestors. Today I have been to work and then 10 pin bowling this evening and I won!
Now it's bedtime again and work again in the morning. But I have the best evening of the week tomorrow - choir rehearsal, I always love Wednesday evenings.
Sleep well and please give the boys a kiss from me.

When I think of all your possible ailments, I wonder why all that wonderful food you eat doesn't turn you into a healthy woman. I recently finished a physical and everything was ok. How could that be? I am tired all the time, and get cramps in my legs at night. Sometimes I go into low blood sugar and get lite headed. Ah, but when I go in for the physical - I seem OK.

Good morning!
No work for me today - I have conjunctivitis and cannot see well enough to drive!
Lois if you would like me to, I could try help you with your family tree. Just send me an email with as much detail as you can remember - names, birthdays, places etc. and I will see what I can do.

Good Morning Momar,
Ive had thyroid problems all my life, and high blood pressure, my Dr says I have to totally change my eating habits they are not good. Some, well a few ailments are part of the rules we all have to have that go along with age increases. You steady are going and doing Momar that is why your tired and you walk everywhere, that may be part of the problem your very active from what you say, perhaps a slow down until you catch up with yourself? :-D

Hi Sweet One!
Well - keep them phone lines hummin. I know it's no fun to have to go to Docs. Been through the eyedrops thing - got pretty good at it. Just takes a little practice. Butt glad your eyes are doing better.
Hope the landlord TRY's a little harder - maybe he'll get things squared away.
Take care Hon,

Hi,Hon,
I'm Back!! This comes to you via my new eMac. It's true, just plug and play.
I'm glad you are going to see the Dr. again. Management has an over-active thyroid at the moment and I have seen at first hand what it can do. So, be a good girl and take the pills. Once Dr. gets things balanced, you'll feel right as rain.
As I was travelling back here from W.Sussex this afternoon, I passed a little car with a number-plate that ended in "KAO" You'll never guess who I thought of, will you??? LOL ;o) Speak to you soon, Honey - I've got "Skype" on this here machine, but it doesn't talk MSN, sensible thing!! Mind you, I still have my "L" plates up - I'm learning to drive this new toy!!
Take care honey, don't be a Stressed Weeble. Lots of Love and Great Big Hugs from
Raife.

Hi Raife,
So glad your back safe and sound. you have been missed. I have heard great things about those machines, Im sure you will like it.Ive heard they dont do voice or webcams though, but are very reliable.
Ive had thyroid all my life,its been a constant battle with it. My count is severly off and of course dr is worried. But will be ok Im sure. well lets hope anyway.
Good to hear from you,
ALways, Lois ****
