~Nurse Day~


The nurse, Tracy, came by this morning, Im fine. We compared
blood pressure readings and were really surprised at the difference
in hers and mine and on each arm.. There is at least 20 degrees
difference between the two arms..the left is lower ....and the range
of difference between my machine and her basic kind..with a cuff
and a stethescope she thinks hers is more accurate.. which is
fine with me..I don't like my readings..when just before she got
here I took it..and it was 200/75.. and 45 minutes later was 180/68.
Very irradical.. I cant worry with it I would go nuts.. I put my patch
on every week and I have started taking the extra pill they put me
back on.. I was on lopressor before the patch..said stop it..use
the patch..well now I have BOTH... to keep switching meds I
honestly just don't agree with...but not a whole lot you can do..if
that's what the Dr ordered.. for me its hard since every time I do
go to see mine I have a different doctor..that upsets me...

I have come to realize I am deaf in my right ear.. I realized this a
while back that the hearing was bad in it.. I had a broken ear drum
from when I was small, so I never heard 100% out of it anyway..I
thought for a while I had a defective phone..that the sound was bad.
so I got another one from my sister..well HELL wasn't the phone at
all ..was my EAR! Whats hard is that its my right one.. If I lay down
to watch tv i have to lay on it...if I lay on my side..If I sit up to lay down,
that doesnt make sense .. :-) well sit up to sleep.. I have to lay my
head on the left ear.. well I cant hear the tv then..THAT doesnt work..
I try to just sit up and watch tv but after a little while I find I have
just slid down until I am laying and kinda on my right ear and I dont
hear the tv then either... Im in bad shape.. i mean.. no legs.. blind
in one eye, deaf in one ear...and no teeth..boy thats bad... I am
going to fix the teeth problem tho ..very soon...

My sister is extremely deaf..the kids play such cute games with her
to antagonize her its really funny... but she cant hear hardly at all.. I
call her on the phone or she calls me I can hear her tv in the back
ground its so loud..:-) She has hearing aids but hates them ..she
said they drive her nuts..she wore it to church one sunday and a
lady there had a piece of candy wrapped in cellophane, that real
loud crinkly paper.. she said that lady sat there all thru the whole
service playing with that paper making it so noisey that she couldnt
hear even the pastor speaking.. She said she wont wear it again..

I still havent heard from BigDaddyKen, I have no idea what his
problem is..I dont care I am NOT that big a meanie that 3 as in
THREE GROWN men are afraid of me? If thats the case I must
be a GORGEOUSLY BAD WEEBLE... :-) some peoples kids
I mean..just goes to show.. the apples didnt fall too far from
Daddys tree did they? I wont pester him either..but I bet every
single day I document his careless and slack attitude right here
on this..just like I told him ..every day is documented right here
since I move in to this house.. its a shame..this place could be
really nice.. what a waste... Now I need to see about copying my
blog..boy that will be a job..specially since there are over 700
posts on this thing.. do you realize Ive been writing every day
for 2 years? this month it will be..all except for the time I was
in the homeless shelter I havent missed a day.. sick, bad, good
crazy or what ever.. I was here..:-)

The girl Heidi called me today, bless her heart..shes had pneumonia.
she cant go into hospital..she has no insurance.. thats so bad.. this
kid is so sick and because she has a job that wont provide it she
has to treat herself..its a good thing shes a nurse... She said she
is feeling a lot better... and monday for sure she will come and visit
and bring some goodies.. I had told her I would like to go to Chicago
for a few days, she offered to go with me.. and help push me around.
She being a nurse I would feel ok with that.. I told her I would work on
it and see if we could get there for a few days.. sure would be nice,
I would like that.. or maybe even go to the casino..THAT would be
fun...specially if I could WIN...

Lunch was pretty good today, goulash..and its ok. not too bad..comes
with green beans and a slice of garlic bread that I KNOW better than
to eat..I taste the crap for DAYS it seems afterwards.. I may just have
a pumpkin cookie and some kool aid and watch tv.. I watched a show
last nite with a cook from the UK and hes a real cutie..he had that
Hell's Kitchen..well now hes going around saving restaurants that are
in trouble.. Im glad to see hes changed his potty mouth.. hes too cute
to show that side of him on tv.. they make all this fancy smancy stuff,
its pretty to look at ..but well Im just plain good home cookin type of
person.. This Gordon chef guy makes some pretty stuff but I still
dont think I would eat it..not if I cant tell what it is , pumpkin cookies
work for me just fine.. so now you know its that famous ...Cookie time,
TV time..then Sleepy time.. hopefully in that order.. "nitey nite"

Y'all have a good one now, 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.....

    It is only 11pm (23h) and I am tired. Recently I bought some 100mm x 200mm (4x8") white Arabia smorgasbord dishes from Finland. I got them at an estate sale- I REALLY use them for appetizers. Yummy! this was the best investment in my life. 25cents us each. or 18 centimes (Euros)

    Yes seeing a difference doctor every time keep me upset, that only happen when I when to the big clinic with Pam...I know they read the same record...but they can give you difference answer, one of the doctor told me to do sometime one way next time.next time I came in to see the doctor had no idea what I was taking about he was not the same doctor either... it would be one of 3 doctor they use...one wanted to do surgery next time in that doctor said no surgery he didn't think it was needed...I stop going to that clinic...I was glad it was no surgery...and wanted to put a end to that clinic couldn't take it anymore. It was like they had no record to go by or they didn't read it at all.
    Pam is still doing ok, hope she keep it up.
    Lois could you have some wax in that ear?
    Mike has had a broken ear drum twice...
    God bless you Lois.

    Hi, Honey,
    What you lack in quantity, you more than make up for in Quality!!
    It really is aggravating, not seeing the same Dr. for two appointments on the trot. Can you register with one and then always see that one each time?
    Take care, Honey, Lots Of Love & Great Big Hugs from
    Raife

    You forgot your bad heart!!!! Well bad? Mebbe its bad at beating, but in caring loving and so on.... YOU ARE A FULLHEARTED WOMAN, AND BOY AM I GLAD TO BE ONE WHO HAS A LITTLE ROOM IN THAT HEART!
    Did you know talkin bout your dysfunctions, that a happy marriage is between a deaf husband and a blind wife... : )
    Well you and i got a little of this and that, when it comes to shortcomings... We are sorta matching anyway, and that feels good.... If and when...
    Kao´s
