~Phoney Ear~

I made so many phone calls today my ear feels like the phone is

glued to it.. I bet I made 15 calls if I made one.. I called Deborah,

at my Insurance..and told her just what is going on with my Drs.

office and the problems im having. They are a firm believer in

preventative medicine and this should be just that. I explained

it all to her, so she is going to so some of her calls and see what

she can find out for me Today the snow is gone..it left over

night because of the rain.. I had no way of knowing that.. I can

call make an appointment for more than likely would have to be

a few days ahead, well then I have to schedule a ride, and I have

no guarantee that it will be clear when it comes time to go.. That's

the joys of winter.. But I am NOT going out in it.. If they wont come

here and do the labs, and refuse to refil my prescriptions.. well I

will just do with out them. Myself.. I think its just Cherise and Erica

at the Drs office that are doing this..They never have liked me and

I really don't care..as long as they treat me as a patient..

Ive asked them..even TOLD them..if they have a personal problem

with me and find I am NOT their favorite person..keep it OUT of the

office.. When I roll in there I better get good professional care that

is to be expected from ANY nurse, Dr or whomever.. A patient has

rights..and Good care is the main thing.. If push comes to shove I

will file a complaint with whomever I have to.. I told my sis when she

was here what was going on..and I know my sister. If something

happened to me because of this.. I KNOW what she will do..and I
hope she does, if that should happen..But what if I was the type of

person not to fight for what is right..like so many are that ARE in-

timidated by these places..and DONT fight for their rights.. I feel

for them.. What do they do? They DIE..from lack of care..and I wont

be one of those statistics.. I'll fight till they get so sick of me they

will do anything to shut me up... :-) arent I awful..well they say, 'the
squeaky wheel gets the grease first'.. so call me a ... SQUEAKY
GORGEOUS WEEBLE :-)

I showed Penny my hands and arms..they really don't look Good. I

cant take chances with them..and this cream I have, this anti-

biotic well today it just doesn't look like its really better. I did call

and try to find out about Visiting Physicians.. and apparently they

have changed and now only accept people with medicare? or

medicaid.. I cant keep those 2 straight.. I thought I had both but I

guess I don't.. So I may not be able to get VP.. I did apply a while

back to SS and I thought maybe I would get the one I don't have,

but Ive not heard anything more about that after I got the paper

work I sent them back.. I guess that's another call I will have to add

to my list...

Ive been doing some checking into land contracts etc..and all the

stuff about buying a house.. Penny is very up to date on things too

that concern land contracts.. I know when I have called different

agencys that if I OWNED this house, THEN they would come in and

fix everything, free too..the CAA here I KNOW will and I know the

COA will come and do smaller repairs.. In fact Norma at COA said

"we wont send anyone for home repairs, unless you OWN your home".

And I know CAA will step in too.. I don't know.. I wont do anything

until I know for sure that I wont get into more stressful stuff than I

already have.. But I would think owning this house..and if I can make

the payments.. I would think it would be a good thing.. If I got this

place up to snuff and fixed up.. I could re sell it.. I know its not a good

time.. but..lots of people ARE buying now because you can find some

really good deals.. I keep the thought that if I did buy this..in 2 years..

maybe I could double the price of it and then sell and at a nice good

profit.. Plus, if my Knight can get that horse of his to find me, I maybe

could have a nice nest egg to fall back on or do another re-start, but

this time not with a minus check book balance like last time.. I sure

have Lots of homework to do..

There was a lot of stress for me this past week and ahead I know.. I just

have to watch I don't let it over load me and get too much on my plate

so to speak.. There is trouble on the home front for my boy and Dawn

that kinda upsets me but there is nothing I can do. All I can do is offer

support and advice when Im asked..I cant interfere. But I hate to see

2 of my favorite people in distress. I will help or step in. so to speak,

but not until requested .. You have to be very careful what you say

when 2 people are having problems..if they get back together you

could have put your foot in your mouth if you say the wrong thing..All

I am doing is Offering to help, if they need me they know how to get

hold of me 24 - 7..that's all I can do.. Plus the fact I cant really add

this stress of worry to what I already have, not right now anyway..

We are all clean..thanks to Penny, I had put that pumpkin pie in the

fridge as I didn't have room in my freezer for it, the one from Angel

Food, I had planned for Penny to bake it today. I didn't notice it was

at an angle... tipped to one side a bit.. well it WAS frozen.. during

the night, well it thawed out.. so.. guess where the LIQUID pie

filling went? I asked Penny to get a juice out of the fridge for me, she

opened the door, I heard "ohoh" and Penny told me what the pie

had done to my fridge..well to the shelf below it and the bottom of

the inside..Yes.. I had pumpkin pie ALL over it.. I offered to clean it

since I HAD to have been the one to tip the box the pie was in..but

Penny, being the sweetie she is, she cleaned it up.. I hate when I

make extra messes for her to clean..she never complains but I

still feel bad when I do.. She does an awful lot for me and I would

never want her to think I am taking advantage of her. I got a nice

big package of chicken breasts that didnt fit in the freezer, so I gave

them to her for her having to do this extra work on the fridge, she

said Eddie was in town so she was going to fix it for them for dinner

tonite..I think with rice and tomatoes and onion.. Yellow rice would

be good too.. :-) Shes a very good cook... TOO :-)

Well Im done with this puter for today and with my phone I hope..and

Im gonna go knit on my babyboys' afghan.. its about halfway done. I

showed it to Penny as she is such a talented knitter/crocheter..and

she thought it was really looking good. I think so too. Its really pretty.

I think I am going to work on the pale blue polar fleece blankets I
have for baby..decorate them up a bit.. They will be so pretty..

Time for some of my ICEE.. if DQ quits making this flavor I will surely

cry.. No other place in town has the green , lime ones..and they ARE

the best.. Time for my bed and TV and of course.."Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya, and thanks.. :-)

ALways, Lois ****
