DR Cilla even if you are being gentle the peroxide could be irritating the skin.  These days the dermatologist tells me not to use it.

Ok, but that's what made it start looking better ;)

 ;D  Hey, if it works for you ;)

I hope you told them what color the goop is, DR Ron. That usually makes a difference. Yellow or green means a doctor's appointment.

I told them...and the greenish-yellow I indicated seemed to fill the bill.  I have to be in radiology at 1:30 and I'll see "a" (not "my") doctor at 2 p.m.

"Darling, I adore early English perpendicular."

That's my new philosophy.

What was your previous philosophy, crackslaw?

I had both flu and pneumonia shots back in late September.

Well 2 cans in so far, but I lost most of the first one, so that doesn't really count -   still if I can manage another two today that would be good (and better than yesterday)

For those that might be interested, here's the Oregonian obituary on Dan in Toronto's cousin:

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/01/portland_rabbi_aryeh_hirschfie.html

DR JMK - Thanks for posting that.  I didn't realize that the family was down in Mexico for a family wedding.  What a truly tragic situation.  My condolences to his Family and his Congregational Family.

Report to "Radiology" for "Chest X-rays."


Funny enough...the last time I went to get chest X-rays when I was sick, my doctor was out of town and this doctor I'm seeing today was taking his patients.

He was none too happy with me when I walked into his office and sat down.  I was ashen, slightly perspiring and could barely talk.  I had just survived a weekend bout with strep throat but, for some reason, did not feel "well" or "recovering."

This doctor (Dr. Shedd, as in "Shedd Spread"!) looked at me and said, "Well, you've got a cold.  What do you expect ME to do about it?"

I felt no urge to bitchslap him, so I said, "I expect you to make sure I haven't missed something in trying to combat this thing.  I should be feeling better, but I'm not."

He ordered an X-ray...and 20 minutes later butter would have melted within a 10-foot radius of him.  He was all warmly solicitous of me and my condition...and the pneumonia he prescribed medications for...and the order to stay home from work for at least a week.

What "cans" are you taking/eating/pouring/ingesting? Ensure, Boost, etc.?  Or is it something more specialized?

Tomorrow I must go to my morning radiology appointment and then drive 40 miles inteh other direction (well Vixdad will do the driving) to go see the surgeon.  After 6 calls in 4 days and being on hold for 24 minutes he finally deigned to give me a look-see.


Iam so happy with all my other doctors and their staffs - but this one, and his office staff, I have little confidence in.

This is the office with the evil Chauncy in it

 I left a message for my inital ENT guy this morning to see if he wouldn't consider taking over my case himself.


He referred me to Dr. Frank on the first place though, so we'll see......

DR Vixmom, I hope the ENT can take over. I remember how awful the other doctor was.

DR Ron Pulliam, I hope all goes well at the doctor's today. You obviously have complications from the cold. Such a shame they aren't taking it seriously.

What "cans" are you taking/eating/pouring/ingesting? Ensure, Boost, etc.?  Or is it something more specialized?

It's something called Two-Cal, it's like Ensure but more caloric, more protien - it has 475 calories oer can and if I take all 4 cans (or 1900 calories) that I am supposed to,  I am guaranteed 100% of all required nutrional requirements.

Problem is small as the can is, it makes me feel bloated.  My gag relex is on a hair trigger these days so I have to stay very, very still until I think my stomach has emptied.  Tha was the problem early this morning - I got up too quickly and when I leaned over and my waistband pressed against my belly, that was all she wrote....


This time I took over an hour to slowly feed myself and then sat still for another hour or so before I dared to stand up.  So far, so good.

I think it's more a matter of them being overwhelmed than not being willing to take me seriously.

The phone message always says, "If this is an emergency, call 9-1-1.  The VA may or may not pay for any services received."
