I'm about out of minutes on the Virgin Mobile Paylo plan and that's another 16 minutes out of 400 for $20(384 minutes argon, phone is now off, for emergencies only now), after that no phone service until the 1st. Otherwise I'd have to drive 12 miles just to find out what's going on.

Get a Magic Jack so you'll have a landline in the house. $20 to buy the one that plugs into a computer or $40 for the stand alone, and $20 a year for service. Works great as long as you have internet.

Right now I'm coughing up phlegm and blowing My nose so that I can breathe again.

I know the feeling. Ugh. You may not believe me, but my breathing really has gotten better as I've lost weight. And I'm not exercising for the weight loss, just eating a *little bit* healthier. Nothing major, just a single cheeseburger instead of a double, skip the fries most of the time, etc.

Can't get Magic Jack right now(No DSL), I'm not loaded, $866.40 only goes so far, in any case even if I plugged it in there is no connection, the phone line was last used as dry loop, which is now disconnected, I'm trying to keep costs down and right now is just not the right time. I'm on TWC cable.

I can breathe again, I just had to blow My nose and cough some, yesterday it started to flow. I'm having eggs and sausage and coffee.

Vic .... it really would help us to follow this, if you could keep to the medical bits as per the thread title :-)




I'm trying to minimize it, but some just want to jump in....

They only jump in when you open the door.

Have you been in contact with the doctor to see if your results are in?
If so have you found out what they mean?

If you haven't then got in contact with them, and find out.

Get yourself to the doctors, we are getting fed up with your excuses. All your symptoms can be attributed to an infection resulting from an anal bleed, the whole lot, so for your own sake, and Grace's sake get down there and find out what's wrong with you. Every day you delay could be making matters worse, and I'd hate to hear that you had been found unconscious (or worse) on the floor of your home, having been lying there for several days.

Which only happened once recently and once before, I just called, they do not have any results in, now I have less than 14 minutes on My phone.

Why do people think I'm loaded????

Loaded with excuses - yes
Loaded with cash - no

Not in yet - "Oh ****t" is all I can say about that, after we are now well past the "two days" you were told at the end of last week. I think I'd be dancing on someone's head about that delay.

Sadly I think Vic has been dealt a rough hand by the medics - At the end of last week it was "results in two days", and now its how many more days before they get him the results - and he had to chase them down to get that bit of none-news...

Ok I do have something to report, I'm going to the Doctor to discuss the tests I had done as they won't discuss this on the phone, this has to do with patient privacy. It seems while the phone was off the test results came in, wonderful timing.

Also I'm going to the dentist soon. I found out that Denti-Cal will allow a tooth to be pulled(extracted), but not filled, nor are dentures covered anymore, those two would have to come out of My pocket, I fired off an email to Governor Brown on that, don't know if He'll see that or not, but it was worth a shot.

I've got one Dentist picked out too, Fridays and Mondays are busy days, that's why I said Tuesday. One in the Stater Bros Plaza ought to do, at least I know where the place is at. The Dentist has an appointment open at 2pm, so it's Tuesday at 2pm. I may have to see the Doc on Wednesday.

Oh and something been going around that has flu like symptoms, no wonder I felt like I was half dead, I probably gave it to the manager or maybe not, that's hard to tell.

Thanks Julie, Yeah I hope so too, but like I said a lot of people here in the park are sick or have been sick, right now the manager is sick and so was some kid, but this is a family park.

It's that annoying time of year now isn't it? Soon be Spring though Vic. That brief period that you will be able to enjoy the sunshine, before it becomes searing desert heat!

How true Andy, temps are in the 60's now in the daytime and in the 40's at night, the manager did note that I looked stronger since She'd last seen Me, I think She's in Her 70's, even though She's sick She seems to be holding Her own. Heat will be retreat inside during the day and come out after dark, soon the coolers will need to be serviced, the water lines will have to be cleared possibly of any deposits, new pads and maybe pumps, the hard water here kills pumps after a year. Black plastic water lines are better than clear junk, clear lines promote algae growth which clogs the water lines.

But We're drifting off topic. So I'll just say I don't like being sick, I'm just hoping it's nothing beyond one bad tooth, which even if it's saveable will have to be pulled, Denti-Cal only supports removal, not filling and does not support Dentures since 2009... Those two would have to come out of My pocket and that's a mighty shallow pocket, all thanks to Republicans in previous years.

Here's something, I stopped using salt on My eggs, now My feet aren't as swollen, so now My shoes are easier to put on, although eventually I might get a pair of 11.5 4E shoes, in black of course, I'm wearing 11 4E shoes now.

Have you had your blood pressure checked recently? I too have had to cut out salt for similar reasons. There is already salt in virtually anything that is processed, so you certainly don't need it added into your diet elsewhere. Sure it tastes nice, but it's really not good for you if it's surplus to requirements.

Yeah whenever I go to the Doctor. I do find that having the shoes go on or come off of My feet easier, there is still some swelling, maybe that will go away, if that doesn't go, then that's tolerable at least. I could go back to frozen veggies, instead of what I'm currently eating, but then My electric bill would go up as I cook them in the microwave and not on the stove, I've got to get a 2qt-3qt pan for that, some of the ones I have now are nearly worthless, the cooler here make heating anything on the stove harder to do with low to medium flame, so a high flame is the only real answer, which case I need to the right pan for the job and yeah I know which one, I've just been doing this or that and not everything can fit in a tight budget and cooking in the oven didn't require much beyond the cookie sheets that I already own, so the pan wasn't needed right away, kind of like buying an extra freezer, I'm short of capacity, only cause I have a small refrigerator, an 18cuft refridge in fact, but that's what fits here.

You wouldn't believe what I found out about toothaches(or maybe You would), their linked to the teeth for one and to, lets see Sinus infections, colds, flu, heart problems, diabetes(I don't have that thankfully), sensitive teeth(I've had that). Today I was able to eat on My right side of My mouth while eating dinner, the side that had hurt since I'd gotten a cold, why? I ate some ice cream, usually that might cause pain I've read, weird. Even hard ant-acid tablets don't produce any pain now, I'm still going to the dentist on Tuesday, the Dentist can xray the teeth, then I'll know if their is a real problem or just to go home, sigh. Not like I want a tooth removed if it doesn't need to come out, that would be silly, otherwise if a tooth needs pulling, oh well, there goes one more. Right now My stomach is upset, which is why I'm up at this hour, there is something there in the stomach does not like being digested, this is usually related to sinus drainage and this I've been told has happened to Me since I was 3 years old, this is almost a curse, but I know how to fight back, ant-acid tablets and when I can blowing My nose, funny thing is someone had to remind Me to do that, now no one is around anymore to remind Me and I do that anyway.

Tuesday I'll be off to the Dentist, with a small piece of material for the Dentist to see that came out of My mouth, it's from the back of a lower incisor, I may need to have a tooth removed there and I'll lose some of My bite and there will be no replacement, not unless the replacement costs less then $336.84 next month and that amount isn't guaranteed, since 2009 state law says except for tooth removal, all replacement costs are to be out of a patients own shallow pocket and forget financing, I've no credit score, sigh....
