Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: elmore3003 on April 26, 2023, 04:43:59 AM: My rent check hadn't cleared. I had taken it with me to my appointment with Dr Kassapidis, intending to post it in the lobby mailbox of 5 Columbus Circle. I forgot, so I asked one of the medical assistants with the orthopedic surgery dept. if there was a place to leave mail. She told me she would take care of it, but for the past week, the check never cleared the bank.
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: elmore3003 on April 26, 2023, 04:45:03 AM: Yesterday, I was really paranoid about it: what if she kept itand will use my bank account to rob me of my paltry funds? Well, it cleared this morning, so that's off my back.
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: elmore3003 on April 26, 2023, 04:47:39 AM: So, I couldn't get to sleep last night. Finally, when I did, sometime after 10:30 - I went ot bed at 9:00 - I woke at midnight with a terrible gastric attack that sent me scurrying as quickly as one can at a snail's pace to the bathroom, where I remained for some time.

Post by: elmore3003 on April 26, 2023, 05:37:24 AM: Facebook was currently banned me from posting on groups.When I tried to post on the Musical Theatre Orchestration page, I was refused, but FB said I could protest this. I clicked on the link and got to a page where I could post aresponse. I wrote this:
There was this post about a dog who was being euthanized at the NYC Animal Control Center. A very pretty, adoptable dog who's owners had turned him in to the shelter to be murdered. There was no hope. The euthanasia command wasissued, and the dog would soon be murdered. My response was "They should euthanize the owners instead." Now, I'm no fool; that won't happen, but that's how I feel about people who adopt animals, then tire of them, and send them off to kill shelters. This is at least twice now in the past five years I've been banned for speaking out about animal protection. I think your police are often out of control in their efforts to police."
Here's the kicker: Facebook will not let me submit it!

Post by: ChasSmith on April 26, 2023, 05:46:13 AM: DR Elmore, I don't know what happened when you tried to submit your response, but I have come up against MANY instances of web pages and links/buttons simply not working at inopportune moments, thereby stopping my action - whatever it happens to be - dead in its tracks.

I sometimes blame the browser for stalling out on some pages, but when I try again on another browser with the same result... well, at that point you're ready to murder someone.

Post by: ChasSmith on April 26, 2023, 06:05:42 AM: "You'll make sure you're home from WHAT, DR ChasSmith?", I hear you asking.

Well, wait just a moment and I'll tell you.

I'm seeing the closing matinee of Marat/Sade at the local college, followed by a Q&A session. I have never seen a production of it. I'm not sure I even watched the filmed version. I have the script, the music, the original stage recording, and a downloaded copy of the movie to bone up on. Should be fun.

This is the college theeder that blindsided me with their brilliant production of Allegro. After that (and a great Bat Boy last fall), there's no way I wasn't going to attend whatever else might be of interest.

I was just going to check email, but the galley and covers were there so I approved the galley and the softcover covers, but NOT the hardcover because for reasons unknown they shrunk the type size and it looked terrible - they're not supposed to touch what we sent them. Hopefully, I'll have that back today and can approve and then I'll wait for my test books.

Yesterday afternoon my case work called and said Dr. Durrell wanted me to see the diabetes doctor. So we set up an appointment for next Tuesday.
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: Jrand74 on April 26, 2023, 09:29:19 AM: So I thought - well I should probably check my blood sugar - for the first time in about a year.

I had almost forgotten how and all of my test strips had expired.
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: Jrand74 on April 26, 2023, 09:30:28 AM: My checker wasn't working....so I changed the batteries in it - luckily I had a couple of new lithium batteries in my drawers.

But I couldn't remember how to do it.

So I looked online.

And it worked and my blood sugar level was 222 - which is NOT good.
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: Jrand74 on April 26, 2023, 09:31:41 AM: So I filled out my e-check in online and when I got to the end of it, there was a message saying I had checked that I did not want to use my insurance to pay for the appt.

Obviously I checked the wrong box.

So I called the number that my case worker called me from yesterday.
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: Jrand74 on April 26, 2023, 09:32:22 AM: The girl who answered the phone said there was no such named person in the office.

I told her that perhaps she could help me.
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: Jrand74 on April 26, 2023, 09:33:37 AM: She looked at things and said that I could correct that when I come in on Tuesday.

I then asked her if she could send in a prescription for new test strips. And she said of course.

So that will be my first prescription using the delivery system....if it works.
Title: Re: FIRST THINGS FIRST, SECOND THINGS SECOND
Post by: Jrand74 on April 26, 2023, 09:34:27 AM: So since Monday I have been taking my TWO Metformin pills a day....and I plan to test my blood sugar each day and I imagine it will start going down. Time will tell.

He loved the first episode but was shocked it was short and that all the episodes were short. Why isn't loving the episode enough? :) I'm sure he'll continue watching and hopefully enjoying.

For the past year or so I have just taken one of my Metformin pills a day instead of two.....just lazy.

Lucile Watson is also wonderful as Tierney's mother and John Payne is good as Gray. Herbert Marshall as Maugham himself is very touching.

DRs George and TCB, I am so proud of your governor!

I am, too! And he's also Jane's and Keith's governor, too (and Jed's and Ann's)!

Oh yes DR JOHN G - The Razor's Edge with Tyrone (just back from the war), Gene Tierney, Anne Baxter, and Clifton Webb is a wonderful movie.

Lucile Watson is also wonderful as Tierney's mother and John Payne is good as Gray. Herbert Marshall as Maugham himself is very touching.

I also like the book a lot. It gets a bit more metaphysical - but it's good.

And the score by Alfred Newman is simply SUPERB!!!

But is he at least half good?? ;)

He was actually fairly good. It just ended. Glad I saw it.

Loved Jack Nitzsche’s score.
