I'm sitting in the waiting room of the doctor's office, waiting for 🐐 to finish getting a check up. Nobody has noticed me sitting here, since I fit right in with all of the sick people! LOL

Hey! I'm feeling better....I was trying to make you laugh, not 😢!!!! I'm beating this crud. I'm home now, enjoying a hot cup of mock chi latte. In a bit, I'm planning on plopping down in front of the tv for today's first dose of Doctor Who! Thank you for caring! 💖

Follow up on thumb..
Just got a phone call from my family Doc and he blasted me for complaining to all these Surgeons I have seen about my comments to all of these Docs that it should have been done earlier.
Of course he denied ever having seen the thumb as a problem two years ago and felt he did the right thing in his 'treatment'. He was very angry.

He conveniently forgot about times I showed to him and he dismissed and the time when he made phone call during covid when I told him it was growing and he asked for a picture which I did not have. He still did not ask me to come in and let him see it. Now it is all my faultView attachment 215197
The surgeon I saw yesterday evidently contacted him in this respect.

Oh and just to bring you up to date that surgeon has referred me to another surgeon who wants to take a specimen of the cyst before operating, so more time waiting for appointments...can you believe all this....I am slowly going round the bend...View attachment 215198

As a retired Health Care Professional, I would like to say that the treatment (or lack of) you have received from your doctor is unacceptable!!! Taking into consideration that there are 2 sides to every story, and I have only heard yours....I still would say that there are issues here that should be addressed. But for your sake, I would wait until everything is over...after all, no one wants an upset surgeon working on them!

That being said, you might want to not express any more dissatisfaction, start detailed documentation, and (once it is all over) get yourself a malpractice attorney!!!!

I truly wish you the best! 💖
 
Well it's noon here, and my son just left for Denver after a five day stay. Got a fair amount accomplished on his engine build, and now waiting for some parts to arrive to finish things up over the next two months, in between my regular projects. He will be back up when school lets out, and we will install the engine and tune it, and one more thing off the list. It was great having him here, but always nice to get back to peace, and quiet mode. Taking a little break, maybe a nap, and then start back on my trim work after organizing some things in the shop.
 
I've been busy doing what I do every spring and that is sprucing up the patio and yard.....its taking me days, power washing all the dirt dobber nest and winter grime off, repotting plants and bringing the cushions out of storage...slowly...work a little and rest a lot....but it is nice to be outside in the sunshine.

OMG @hollydolly! Predicting sNOw? Eeek! We're at 82 right now and waiting for a big thunderstorm to roar through in the middle of the night. There might even be a tornado or two. And another eeek! for our storm.

yes the weather is weird... TBF the march cold is how the temps should be around now, and last weeks' 70's was similar to the previous March, surprisingly warm and sunny.. then we had a super hot summer.. temps up in the 90's ... so I'm wondering if the same thing will happen again this year.

We don't call 90s super hot here; we call mid-90s "pleasant". It's when the thermometer starts creeping higher and higher and pushing 100 that we get a bit too warm for comfort🔥 Thank heaven for air conditioning!

Thanks for your thoughts and wishes
Believe me I have thought a lot about what I would like to do in that regard but you know, I am an old lady and there is the absolute fact that that my age would come in to play.
You know, forgetfulness, memory, imagination, etc.....all that stuff that older people can get to be accused of.
I do have some records but hey, how would they stand up before the smart Doctors.

Oh and by the way...I got another phone call yesterday.....yes I have an appointment to see another surgeon, this Friday, a woman this time.
That will make five doctors to date.
At least things are moving now at a swifter pace
Ans so it goes ......

yes I understand , it's the same in Spain at our other place.. 90's is a regular temps throughout summer, but July in August easily gets up to 110, not a problem because we have the AC and the pool ...but here 90's is high temps.. a good comfortable summer would be around 80 deg... the majority of people in the Uk don't have AC in our homes nor do they have a pool , so when it starts getting into high 80's and low 90's it's not comfortable at all .

I spent today recovering from yesterday’s cataract surgery. Saw my doctor this morning and he said all looked good. The surgery was on what I call my “bad eye”. I had a vein occlusion in it in 2003 that resulted in very blurred vision. My retinal specialist had suggested cataract removal may help significantly to improve vision in that eye (though it will never again be normal) and even though the eye is still somewhat swollen my vision does seem less blurry so I’m excited about that.

Now you have a woman taking charge, hopefully things will change for the better. I searched high and low for a woman to remove a cataract and insert a lens into my eye and am so pleased with the result and her after care - 4 times after the op to check that everything is okay.
 
@Mizmo, I agree with theory that there’d be ageism and you wonder if it is worth the aggravation of the slow court systems. I’m surprised that the specialists informed the doctor of what you said. There’s no real reason for them to do this other than maybe they don’t like him and have heard similar opinions such as yours.

Same here. 90°F(ish) is quite pleasant. However, humidity does affect the comfort factor! LOL

All that matters is that, in the end, you are alright! I hope your new doctor can do what is necessary, and do it right!
 
Today, my wife talks to Social Security this morning. I plan to volunteer at the library and shop for a living room sofa and chair before my wife and I visit the showroom on Saturday. If we don't find what we are looking for, there are two furniture chain stores, 32 miles south and another 31 miles north of us.

We are leaning toward a fabric covered sofa and chair, instead of leather.
 
Sun is shining today but there's strong winds, and when I stepped outside I was taken aback by how cold it was due to the wind chill...

Not done too much more than normal chores today.. ..tried to make an appointment with a podiatrist, everyone seems to have long waiting lists , so I rang around 6 before I finally managed to get one who has available appointments for next week. I haven't needed a podiatrist for decades, so I was quite surprised at the high prices.. but given that everyone is booked up for weeks ahead, it looks like people don't mind paying that much..
 
Good morning, one and all! My crud is (mostly) gone, and I feel good!!! 😁

I'm getting ready to head out to my Mom's for the day. Hopefully, I'll be able to start reading everyone's posts tonight. If not, then tomorrow.

We have a saying: "The hurriered I go, the behinder I get!!!"

Bye for now! 👋
