In last night's bus accident, no one was injured.  The idiot tour bus driver scraped the driver's side of the bus. The holdup was waiting for MTA clearance.  After we sat on the bus for over 15 minutes with no info from the driver, who had had an altercation with the other driver and then spent his time jumping off the bus t inspect the damage and talk to MTA personel, I asked for a transfer and hopped the next bus that came along. It was an annoyance.

Heigh-Ho!

Just wanted to check in and let you all know I'm not drifting away.

Have been very sick with bronchitis the past week.  Did my rounds of doctors and emergency room all day Monday.  They got me feeling better but did not actually prepare me for living the rest of my life without "oxygen" (they kind they give you to make you feel better) to back me up.

This bronchitis strain is infectious.  It causes my lungs to swell.  I am on antibiotics AND prednisone, the latter to relax my lungs and allow air to flow.   When it's actually working, I feel pretty well, but when it wears off, I'm struggling...almost to the point of hyperventilation.

This, according to my doctor, is a result of the infection which the antibiotic will cure, he says.

Meantime...I sleep sitting up in my chair.  It takes me a while to regulate my breathing when I'm on my feet.  It takes the prednisone about an hour or so to "kick in".  When it does, I'm practically normal again.

That's what's been going on with me.  It's a survival-mode, insular existence.   Right now, I'm floating on prednisone tranquility and am at work.  Planning on being here another hour and 15 minutes, then it's back to home.

The bus wait today at 57th Street was 35 minutes.  Then three damned No. 7 buses all showed up.  The only think worse than the wait was the Trump supporter telling others waiting for the bus how the problem with NYC was illegal immigrants and how Trump would save us.  I wanted to throw her under the next arriving bus.

Yesterday I saw a new chiropractor, one who does ART. He's a little younger than I prefer, but seems to know what he's doing. He understood completely when I described the problems and was able to confirm what I'd told him. It wasn't at all like a typical chiropractic adjustment; it was like some osteopathic manipulation I've had. He explained that ART is about pressure (like deep massage) plus stretching. It wasn't nearly as painful as the Thai Torture. There is discomfort, but he tries to adjust it according to the patient's pain tolerance.

DR Jane, Daniel, the Thai Torturer, tries to work on the scar tissue in my neck with each treatment, but it is just so painful that I beg him to stop. I can handle the treatment on other areas, but my neck was badly damaged. If we don't work on it at all, then we can't fix it. When I read about ART it sounded like a different way to pursue the problem, and possibly one I could tolerate.
Title: Re: THE MIXED BAG AND OTHER TALES
Post by: Jeanne on August 04, 2016, 04:23:42 PM
In defense of Daniel, and because I like positive stories, I'll tell you about his client Irv. I've never met Irv, but Daniel tells me that he's in his 60s and owns half of Beverly Hills. Like me, Irv was in several auto accidents. When he came to Daniel he was stooped over. (I don't have good posture, but I'm not stooped.) Since Irv is wealthy we can assume that he sought--and received--the best medical treatments. Daniel's been treating him twice a week for about four months and Irv is no longer stooped. Daniel has done a lot of work with vets and his website contains many remarkable stories.

I'm hoping that ART will help me through the worst of the neck issues and then I'll be able to return to Daniel.

My, my. That's certainly a different look for you. A lovely shade of red. Perhaps more of a burgundy.

Great photo.

I am home.  Joshie and I went through the "Small House of Uncle Thomas" and he's done a lovely job of it.  He has two things going for him: he's very smart and he;s very good.

Sounds like a winning combination.

Back from a GYPSY which pretty much has its act (both of them) together now.  It's got its chops.  They should have a good weekend, and then it'll feel okay that it's over.
