I do not like Sweethearts at all, but I love this CONCEPT.
"Messages as blurry as your relationship." They might sell more of these than the original ones.
Of course, I did not sleep at all last night and then only two hours after dawn. All the dogs next door barked furiously for over thirty minutes!
I have been trying to get in touch with the lymphedema therapist during the holiday, leaving numerous messages in, I suppose, the wrong places. At any rate, I made one call that worked. So, I needed a referral with the diagnosis on it. Of course, I have no diagnosis. I told the woman that doctors and nurse practitioners said I needed to lose weight, that I did not have lymphedema.
So, called my doctor and asked for an appointment. Two Weeks! So, I told her what I needed, that I was willing to come in, but if he could refer me, I would appreciate it.
A few hours later, the woman called and asked me what exactly I wanted. Finally, I offered her the fax number. So, that is done. I am elated. I almost cried.
Today, Tommy and I collected the grocery ads. Then, we went to Publix and got a pneumonia vaccine. We have had RSV and flu vaccine this year. Next, and lastly, we will have the covid vaccine. And, we still wear a mask. After my first pneumonia vaccine, I was ill a lot less. Fewer sinus infections and not such a bad problem. Hopely, we are bullet-proof with good nutrition.
We brought the bread I like bogo. This is not the keto bread. We were out of carrots, so 2 lb. bag was $2.19.
When we were through, we went to sit in the park and shared a deli sandwich and water. While there, a policeman came in and parked, taking a break, I suppose. We pulled up next to his car and I told him how I wanted to file a complaint against the cleaner. He could not imagine why the other policeman would not take a complaint. So, he did. I feel much better after being told I could not complain. He was puzzled, too. The policeman called it harassment in addition to a threat.
The Christmas decorations sit. But, that is okay. I need a pre-dinner nap.
Do you like Sweethearts?
How clever is this idea?
Have you ever had a breakthrough in getting healthcare that left you grateful and teary-eyed?
I have Celiac Disease and sometimes there are associated problems with it. One time I was having problems and wanted to see my GI doctor. I needed a referral. My primary doc thought he could handle my problems and wouldn't give me one. He couldn't understand that this was part of a complex problem that I needed to see a specialist for. Finally I went through the emergency room and that doctor gave me a referral. It was quite a relief to get a simple thing like a referral. So, yes I understand your jubilation.
ReplyDeleteCarole,
DeleteI cannot imagine the hubris it must take to deny a patient medical care. I am glad you got the help you needed.
My breakthrough was ditching traditional medicine and going alternative 13 years ago. I will never go back.
ReplyDeleteLana,
DeleteI am quite sure that works for some conditions.
l called my insurance company about my Lymphedema pump today and they are still reviewing it and hav euntil the end of January to do so. I saw the Publix ad too and thought of you when I saw the buy one get one free chicken. We've had a lot going on this week and our Christmas decorations are still up too and maybe for the next week or so.
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteI hope the okay comes in sooner than later!

These decorations won't go away no matter how long it takes.
