70
 

Awh what nice memories and numbers. But. To be 69 isn't great.
I was 69 back in July, what a month. I fell 5 times and the VA has not made a move about my knees. Also I got a second opinion about my eye. HELLO rubber stamp. Someone of ya realize that I can't see well. It seems as I've become a bit of dyslexias. Hey that's redneck spelling. Old 1 eyed red neck me. The asshole about my eye, said,"anything I could read below the big E, was a blessing

I happy belated birthday. Sorry to hear about the falls on top of your eye probs. The VA is being a pain in the butt again for me too

Happy late birthday, Buster. We miss you around here, hope you're doing better.

I'm glad to see you back B.

Belated happy birthday, b. Sorry the VA person was a jerk ... any chance of a Medicare or other 2nd opinion?

Happy Belated birthday BB. You fell five times and they won't do anything? Is there some advocate you can get to for for you? -that's extreme negilence imo.

Went to my pri-Dr yesterday, and now I have a bunch of shit to do.
Reina 4/12/. 12/19/12 ct scan pelvis and stomach, MRI knees, Ct scan lungs.
+ somewhere in this goat roping is a trip to tooth fairy, who will screw-up my X-Mas culinary delights. :smack:

Man, you will be thoroughly looked at.

so *this* is what those dire "dry socket" warnings were about...

Damnit I forgot ask her to look at that. Oh Well. Not her job. Someone other can sort that out.

oh, buster. so sorry to hear all this! May blessings fall on your head my friend.

:flower:

Retina DR. the 12/4/12. Laser work on 1/8/13, remove oil 3 weeks later. VA carried me there. App. at 1:45 pm. Waited long enough to piss a grown man off. After 4pm finished. So, called VA for pickup, Guess what? Assholes have gone for day. 5 or so calls later they sent a cab, reckon came from Albuquerque
Now for the 12/19/12 I have lower exterm/ pack Fletcher clinic, WTF, at 10 am. CT scan at 11am. Have to drink the good shit night before. Gastrografin.
Guess the MRI is put off till 1/11/13. So I can make another !@#$ trip
Think I'll have a great big drink! :smack:
Also tooh fairy at 2pm on 19th. JOY JOY

Damn, you're busy. At least they're doing something. Good luck.

What an adventure. Keep us posted. Especially if we need to post bail for somebody.

BTY. My blood work on 11/20/12 was good, but the Sodium, potassium, and chloride was at bottom limits. Vitamin d was also low. She "Said take 400 mg per day."

Vit D is produced by your body as a result of exposure to sunlight. Where I live, I need to supplement my Vit D intake, and I get it through milk, like with a bowl of cereal.

WHAT?? No D in tokillya?

sadly, no.

Well. By golly ain't that the shits!

400 IU is nothing, buster. It's ridiculously low. 30 minutes in direct sunlight with a good amount of exposed skin produces 10,000 IU. If you want to get your vitamin D levels up, either start shirtless sunbathing, or take around 5,000 IU per day.

Letter from my DR. today. Wants to upgrade my D to 50,000 units per week for 4 weeks.
Level of D was 23. Days like today I just don't go out much. Too hard to breath.

Can one of the mods change the name of this BS to 70?

this is done

Tnxs UT.

Saw my DR 7/24. Back for lab work 8/5 and have to go back for more blood work next week. Stll no D in mail.

Getting old is not for wimps.

Got the D. More blood work tomorrow.

Good luck B.

Ultrasound the 16th showed that I have a fatty liver.

....

I hope that's not bad. You're not a goose or a duck, so you might be ok.

Does this mean pate' is off the menu? It *is* soft... /sadface/

Fatty liver can progress to permanent damage and death. Boy that sucks.

Well, when you put it that way, it *does* sound bad. What are your options?

Humm. Lose weight, low fat low cholesterol diet. Avoid NSAIDS, and no alcohol. BTW my cholesterol is good.
