I haven’t posted to this blog in quite a while, just have been experimenting with other blogs out there. There are really a whole lot of sites out that offer this service. This one and Yahoo 360 seem to be about the best, at least in my opinion. I’ve had my good days and bad since the operation. There has been trouble with the blood pressure going up. I’m on about 4 different types of bp meds now, which in of itself doesn’t sound too good to me. My arthritis hasn�t improved, well, maybe a little, but really hard to discern. What with all my aches and pains it�s really hard to know which pain is caused by which problem. Guess if one of the pains turns out to be the ONE, then I�ll know for sure. Can�t seem to find myself a wheelchair van. Money is the main problem, and finding one in my price range, which is about 0 to 3000.00 is next to impossible. So I continue to go back and forth to work by putting my chair on the back of the car, on a manual ramp and off to the office everyday. Boy I thought life was rough when I was younger, at least then, I had hopes of getting better, that thought process doesn�t exist today.

Well, after several delays it would appear that Monday is the blast off day. I will be glad when it is over. Trying to keep gun-ho over such a long period of time is draining. They should be picking me up sometime between 6 and 6:30 AM.
The mistake my nurse caught today was with one of my pills that I take in the morning. It’s a blood pressure pill, the sheet said I should be taking a 75mg pill. I actually didn’t know the mg. She went out and checked, my pill should be a 25mg. It doesn’t exactly build your confidence. I guess that is why they call this a teaching hospital. A few of the other mistakes that I am aware of are: they had someone else papers in my file, the doctor asked me why I was on cumidine (sp), I told him I believed I wasn’t, that is when he discover someone Else’s papers in my file; they picked me up and took me downstairs for some tests which had never been ordered, fortunately I didn’t take them. I just sat in the hallway down there for about a half hour when a guy (transporter) came and picked me up to take me back upstairs. I told him I hadn’t had anything done to me yet, so he swung me around and went back to check. There weren’t any orders for me to have any tests!
Well, the saga continues
