Needle in a hay stack

This all started with a pain in the back of my head and later my right shoulder joined in.  While visiting the ER I was diagnosed with neuralgia and given a shot in the head and shoulder.  I continued to HURT and the tests to find the cause was off and running.

In the last year I have had 3 cat scans of my head, 3 lung x-rays, a pulmonary breathing test, sonogram on my left leg, EKG, MRI on my throat, x-ray of my back and hips, Blood transfusion, (I was very anemic) several blood draws (they put it in and draw it out) Colonoscopy, scope down my throat (I've forgotten the term), and yesterday one more cat scan on my larynx, abdomen and pelvis. This CAT scan scares me. I’m afraid I will be charged separately for each one!  They have found very little, just what time does to all of us.  This sounds like I’m dying, but I feel good, like a 70 year old. The only part of me left to check out is my right leg and two arms. I am on a new med that is really helping my tremors.  I can even write. I’m driving and going to my lady friend Candace basketball games. Red Hat’s is Saturday.  We are going to Grinder Haven for pastrami grinders and root beer floats. Life is good. (because Margot doesn't read face book)

I just returned from being an outpatient In Pomona Valley Hospital.  I was there for 3 ½ hours for a Colonoscopy and an Endoscopic. They gave me pictures of my insides top and bottom.  I would include the pictures, but I forgot to smile.  This was one more expensive test that didn't find the answer to the problem.  If this keeps up my wallet will need a transfusion. (also on face book)

Because Margot doesn't read facebook a dble entry

Last month I met Fred Hollingsworth. at church, and later in the month I was having physical thearpy on my hip and ran into France Ogle at PVH. This month I took Aunt Bettie it the doctor and met Jo Wright and Lloyed ? while setting in the waiting room.
We all graduated from Pomona High School in 1949. As kids you ran into you peers at the movies and now we met in the doctors office.
Fall is here, and I made a pot of potato soup, my cool weather treat.

Email re-runs

The boys (Elders) in the apartment tested the fire alarm again this morning. It went off when they were frying bacon, and I was in the bathroom! This is not the best time to have an emergency. There was no damage to the house. I don't know about the bacon.
I thought being rude to unwanted phone solicitors, during pr- election calls, would end. Not so! Because the bird that delivered me was Pterosaur, and the average age of my peer group is deceased, it is assumed I must be a soft sale for a hearing aid, an electric scooter, a walk-in bath tub, a reverse mortgage, and there is a big need for my opinion on many surveys. Please don’t call me; I’ll call you!! Why is my Facebook still being bombarded with “I won’t vote for Obama “adds? It’s time to quite beating a dead horses!

Margot, I took this from facebook!

The missionaries helped me move the old washer so I could clean under it before the new washer arrives. I vacuumed up a small turtle,the kind you get at fairs. He was dead. The boys had six of them and thought they had given them to a pet store. I expected dust bunnys, but a turtle!!
My old Maytag washer is incontinent, and leaking a stream. I would complain to the manufacturers’, but the things old enough to vote. Since I’m running out of clean underwear I went shopping. I’m 81 years old, so I don’t want to invest in an expensive machine that is going to outlive me. While on my way to Cagles, the place I often buy my appliances, I stopped at a red light and noticed I was next to Home Depot.
I need bug spray so I parked and went in. I walked by the washers and found a Maytag for a very good price. It includes delivery, setting up, and hauling away the old machine. Now if I had a maid to do the laundry life would be beautiful.

New gym

I have changed from the YMCA gym to 24 hour fitness gym.  I have a new trainer, Diego.  He is really helping me.  I feel sore and stronger.  It's no fountain of youth, but then what is?  Really, I would like to know what is?
