~Was Busy Day~

Busy day today with Penny here, Donnie here, phone calls till my
ears feel theyre gonna fall off.. I heard from Deborah with my
insurance and told her I need a new mattress, that this one is
awful..and about all these other doctors they suggest I see,
for the rash, hernia, leg pain, and of course my heart.. I really
wish I could have gotten all that done while I was in hospital. But
that's how these small hospitals are..only certain registered
doctors are allowed to have patients there, and if hes not your
doctor you get a hospital doctor whos main job is to keep you
a short a time as possible and do as little as necessary and
ship the patient back home...They did just that.. But I will talk
to the doctor that I saw last time at the clinic..they know I want
to deal only with him..not a nurse doctor. I go back there for
what they call a hospital checkup... The cardiologist appoint
ment is already set for the 23rd and Ive already called COA
for a ride and its set up too...

I am tired today and I guess its because I started these new
pills..one is for cholesterol that they said mine was very high,
and one is for chest pain, I have to start taking an aspirin a
day as well..so now I have 7 total things to take . well one is
the patch that's put on once a week..but 6 pills a day now.. I
am SO not a pill person..I was so pleased when I found out
they had the patch and I didn't have to remember to take a
pill for my blood pressure every day...Penny got these new
ones filled and I started them today..

I am going to start saving for a laptop though..I have heard about
these wireless connections you can get so you can get online any
where. I could have gotten online while I was in hospital.. I asked
if there was a computer I could get to and of course there wasn't.
Theres only 2 things that would keep me off line, one is that I was
sick and the other my computer crashed..and I have a back up
old one that I could fire up if I had to..I would just have to dig it out
of my closet..but its the one I had before I got this one 3 years ago.
But I really do want a laptop..and that's what Im gonna save for..I
KNOW is gonna take a long time, but I hope I wont need one for a
LONG time.. :-)

Im tired and I need a rest, I really didn't sleep that well...Its got to be
the mattress..But I got my favorite Icee and Im pleased.Thanks again
for all the loving concern..sure makes me feel special and I truly
appreciate it... Thanks bunches..Now.... my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
words... "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.....

    Momar had a bad day - my client pooped in his diaper. At least he was home and he was easy to clean at home. I had a plumbing leak in one of my houses - be well - get well.

    Hello Lois
    Sound if you had a busy day my friend.
    I tried to clear out some rooms today, just got to many thing in them...didn't get rid of much yet but working on it...Most of my books are going and part of my video tape too.
    I give them away, hoping other might enjoy them too.
    Trying to see what Mike will need when he move in June. Having to go through everything, he does not have the room to put most of his thing...so the rest of his thing here will go back upstairs into his old bedroom till he needs it.
    Have a great weekend Lois.
    Mary

    Hi, Honey,
    I know all about remembering pills! I take 3 in the morning, Warfarin at 6.00 and 3 more in the evening. It's a pain in the butt, specially when you go to stay with friends. It's a lot easier if you have to take them all at once. Trouble is, you dare not NOT take them.
    If your Aspirin is the kid's size, soluble (that's what I take each day, now and for the rest of my life!) it's best to take it in water - just a tblsp or so.
    Hope you can get all this medical stuff sorted out soon and be back to our usual, feisty, gorgeous Weeble!! ;o)
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife
