I know exactly what that's like Hawkie.... because I have the herniated discs.. and when my back goes out..thank God its few and far between nowadays, because I try to be careful of it... the pain is Horrific... you could throw up with the pain.

I hate when I say to my doctor my Back went out...and they reply... in a patronising tone '' what do you mean exactly.. that your back went out''... I always feel like saying...well it didn't go out for a night on the tiles..what do you think I mean...

Yes I'm afraid you know the drill... whatever works for you whether it's heat or cold.... .. and take muscle relaxants if you have them....

Only heat works for me even tho' I'm told I should use ice..

Hope it doesn't last too long...

That's so rude and arrogant. I once told a doctor I wasn't feeling good because I had the flu. He says "How do you know it was the flu"? I told him I'm not a child and have had the flu before.

cheeky sod.... how dare they patronise like this.. and they do...

I once had a doctor tell me that I was too short to have herniated discs because only tall people suffer from that..:rolleyes:. this was a Consultant no less.... I swear.... I couldn't believe my ears
 

Hello, everyone. I haven't been posting lately but I found out I have a higher potassium level which is bad for kidney disease but the doctor wants me to be re-tested next week. I have an appointment on Friday and he will tell me more bad news, I am sure.

I really hope all of you are doing better.

Weather is nice without so much rain.

Good day to everyone. :)

Oh no Rae..I wondered where you were this last few days but I just thought as it's summer many of us do other things. 🌞

I'm really sorry you've not been feeling well, I know you have stage 4 kidney disease.. I really hope your tests do not give you more bad news...🤗
 
I've just been out sitting in the garden having early dinner. I had the leftover Chiken Chow Mein....from last nights' take away... , the sun has moved to the front of the house now in early evening, but it's still wayyy too hot to be outside in the back garden

There's some feta cheese in the fridge, my other half suggested using it up this evening, so we are having a Greek Salad. Then we will be off out to join friends at the Tuesday dance night. No doubt her feet will itch again but she must be patient. "Don't allow your heart to race," her surgeon advised.

A little on the frustrating side. I was called in to sub for another meal delivery driver. Currently there are 9 clients. Three obviously weren't home. They are supposed to notify the agency if they aren't going to be there so their delivery can be cancelled, but this seems to be a chronic problem with some clients. I could have saved 15 minutes and 8 miles if they had just done that. I requested a driver meal to take home and when I pulled it out of the car, the flimsy bag broke. Luckily the meals are heat-sealed in the trays.

On a lighter note - this Ethan Allen magazine rack and small pottery item were on the give-away table at the senior center. Google Lens indicated the pottery is McCoy, even though it isn't marked.

Well!

Phone rang just now, odd # but I'm expecting a call to schedule my iron infusion and often MDs use a third party company to do scheduling, so I answered but didn't say anything immediately.

Automated voice came on..."J*** H*** is calling you from the Toombs County jail; will you accept--" The End Call button has never been pressed so quickly lol. Eeeek... I think I'll go take a shower
