Watching it snow.
Wondering what to make for lunch.
We took a road trip yesterday,, hubby got an'upset stomach' 2 hours into the trip.

He didn't say much at the time.

We did find a ceramic Christmas tree at the antique store and couple other things that we bought.

Couldn't find a restaurant that wasn't crowded.
He bought a chicken sandwich at Wendy's.
That made him feel worst by time we got home.

We are supposed to got a birthday party later today.
Its a at small house,, so perhaps a quick stop , & back out the door?
 

Today, whatever stands in front of me, i‘ll do.

Tomorrow…..I will be contacting the medical centre.
When I picked up my meds yesterday, I learned my doctor has retired.
I haven’t seen him in a while, since I was having the pharmacy fax for refills.
So…..one of my meds are on my last month.

What am I going to have to go through to get another doctor. 🙁🙁🙁.

I take a fairly high dose of antidepressants, T3 for pain, and a sleeping aid.

So….. no way…..no how….. that they can bump me for any length of time.
What kind of life history am I going to have with a new doctor 🤔🤔🤔……none I hope.

I mentioned to my doctor a while ago, when he mentioned his retirement……put a BIG note on my files…..
DO NOT MESS WITH MY DRUGS !!!!!!

We’ll see tomorrow.

Oh gosh what a pain! I went through this when my doctor left. Tried 2 other doctors and clinics before I ended up with my retired doctors partner who had moved many miles away. I tied to avoid the hour drive and I don’t particularly care for her. But she was much better than the others.

But for a refill for meds, I went to a walk in clinic, showed them my bottle, and got the needed refill that way. Took months to straighten out my which doctor should I use situation.

So sorry you went through that…..I can’t get refills the way you did, do.
It’s not like I’m going to be on the doctors’ doorstep, because I won’t be…..only go for required tests…..and if I’m really sick, which is next to never, except with this episode of pneumonia recently.
Basically for my meds……which is my lifeline……and because of my future move, I would need one here for very long.

I’m just worried how much he may want me to go through concerning my antidepressants……DON’T MESS WITH MY DRUGS…..they have been working for me…..no playing around with them.

Sadly, there was a person a few years ago, who’s doctor, did some changing on this persons antidepressants, which the patient did not want.
Some time, not long after,
this person took his own life. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢.
I remember this like it was yesterday.
 
@MickaC
I am very sorry that you (and me and many others of us)
even have to worry about the issues you explained in your last 2 posts. Some of us have lives that are challenging enough, without adding the anxiety and fear, of whether a different or new doctor might react to us in ways that do not help us, or actually could endanger us. Extremely sad and angering and difficult.
I sure hope that your new one will surprise you with very good responses.

Today has been one of those chore filled days... from preparing and making home made soup... to laundry...... laying a new rug, had to search in the tools in the barn to find a good quality Rug tape , thank goodness we had some as I suspected we would, estranged husband only ever bought the best quality tools and hardware.... because it's over £12 online to buy...:eek:

Just had an early shower, while waiting for the soup to be ready... Taken the gammon out and shredded a lot back into the Lentil and veg soup, and I'll freeze the rest of the gammon .

And now...I got a text from Sir asking "Why did you leave? If I'd known you weren't coming in, I'd have got up." Specifically asked yesterday at 3:39pm if I was supposed to show up or not show up. No reply.

I don't know if Newbie showed up or not. She was a no-show/no call yesterday. At a point where I don't really give a rat's rear.

Sounds like my sister's job at Tim Hortons some years ago. When hired, people would tell management they were not available for certain shifts (because of child care or bus schedules). And then they'd be put on that shift, even though someone else was available. It was as if it was being done on purpose.

And the employees were so overworked, but new tasks were always being added. I've had plenty of crappy jobs, but none were that bad.

My sister had health problems, and I feared for her life. I begged her to quit, and she did.

I've done scheduling, and I know it's difficult. But scheduling is someone's responsibility, and they need to take care of it.
 
Since it has gotten cold I need to put a blanket on the bed. When I pulled the blanket out that I want to use I discovered I must have put it away without washing so it’s in the washer now. I’ll put it on the bed when I change the sheets later today. Nothing much more for today. Plan on catching up with some recorded tv, pick up the clutter that seems to accumulate during the week and not much more.

Yes, Kaila……I know I’m not alone in some of these circumstances……who ever has to travel this kind of road, can certainly be a bumpy one at times…..is not a pleasant one.
I feel for all that have to do so.
THANKS Kaila for your support.
 
I'm dragging today. Last night at about 10 p.m., I had some sort of allergic reaction to something unknown.

I was sitting at the table working a crossword puzzle and my mouth and tongue started tingling. Then my hands started itching terribly and hives popped out on my arms. The itching was unbearable. I tried everything, cold compresses, steroid anti-itch cream, etc. Then it died down. The hives went down.

A half-hour again, it all started again....tingling mouth, itching, hives. This time, I had a big hive on the top of my foot as well as my arms.

Rinse and repeat. Hives went down, itching eased off. About an hour's respite and it started all over again. Then died down. At that point, I got dressed and determined to wake the Spousal Equivalent and head for the hospital if it flared up again. I was a bit worried about the mouth tingling as I was afraid my tongue or throat might swell at some point. My hands and fingers were very swollen at that point.

Luckily, that was it for the night. I finally hit the bed about 3 a.m. and while the fingers are still a bit swollen, there hasn't been any more itching or tingling and the hives are gone.

What the heck could that have been? I haven't eaten anything different, haven't used any different soaps or detergents, I can't find anywhere that anything could have bitten me. I've never had anything happen like that before.
 
That’s downright scary, @jujube. Strange that it kept coming and going. My friend had a reaction to something she had eaten for years; it was immediate. Where you drinking tea or something while playing the game?

I think they suggest to take an antihistamine; it wouldn’t hurt to have some in the house.
 
So saw the new movie Wankanda Forever, it was 2:45 minutes long. 😳. Yes, it felt like forever. Joey finished his popcorn right away and woke up every now and then for a sip of his coke. 😂. Said he looked the movie. Really glad when it ended. Would be a decent movie, IMO, if cut down to an hour and half.

Yellowstone starts tonight on paramount-2 hours YAY.
 
@NorthernLight It's not as if scheduling would be a big problem with only three people, one of whom only works at night from 11pm-6am three nights a week. Our scheduling is done by a computer, and changes can only be made manually by an "authorized" human. My "fixed" schedule is supposed to be locked into the system. Mmhmm. It worked better before IT's new and improved method.

I'm really bummed and don't want to be bothered going to work tomorrow. Or any other day. However, I gotta pay my dental bill, and Christmas is coming.
