  1. Repeat the same process I've done for 40 years and get up and go to work?

    Getting old sucks

    The problem is that he is a great surgeon. I know people who know him and say he's a good person too. But either he's extremely unorganized or he promises more than he can deliver. I've already told his nurse I want prescriptions written before the surgery. The surgical center is under new ownership. The old owner, Abilene Regional, was a for profit hospital that I later found out was in financial trouble and a horrible place to work. I'm going to let the new people know what happened and what I expect. The good thing about getting old is you don't put up with shit anymore.

    Man, I'm sorry you had to go through that. The quickest I could schedule surgery was Oct 12. I'm not doing anything that requires lifting with my left arm anymore because I don't want to take any chances. My problems last time were with the surgery center and doctor. He's a good man and surgeon but he is ALWAYS late for appointments. Last time I was the only one scheduled at the center that day for 11 AM surgery, so the crew got there at 9. Doc showed up at 3 hours late and the surgery was more complicated than he thought so I didn't get out until 4:30 or so. The nerve block did not work so they had to use a deeper anesthesia and I couldn't wake up. By 6 they wanted to go home so they sent me home without me regaining consciousness. I woke up in the recliner about 9 pm. And the icing on the cake was the doctor forgot to order pain meds for me. They had to call him at home and have him call them in. When I went in the other day I told them it's not happening that way again and I want shit handled before I ever set foot in the place.

    Left the sports medicine clinic earlier today. I went because I was having constant shoulder pain. At first he kept saying probably a bone spur. Wrong. Torn rotator cuff and he said if I wait more than a couple of months it will be irreparable. I ask him how it happened because I take a ton of precautions to protect it after surgery on my other shoulder. He said arthritis and bone spurs just shredded it over the years. Last time it was hell. Someone please tell me they had rotator cuff surgery and it was easy.

    I had a cousin whose youngest graduated HS when he was 38. He had a vasectomy the year she was born. They were going to be home/kid free by 42. Then his dumbass wife wanted another, so he paid to have his vasectomy reversed and she had a kid at 40.
  7. Just left the dentist after a cleaning. When it was time to pay she told me todays visit was covered. I lost my dental insurance when my wife retired, so I ask how that was possible. She said that when I had a crown put on 4 months ago I overpaid and had a $400 credit on my account. "Do you want us to send you a check?" No just keep the money in your bank account and use it for operating capital. It's the 3rd time it's happened in the last 5 years. My PT had overcharged me almost $800 and kept it quiet for 4 months until a office person told me about it and an MRI office kept $350 for almost 11 months before sending me a check. Now I just ask when they'll settle with insurance so I can call and get my overpayment back.
  8. Abilene. We've never had this problem in all the years we've been here. But there have been some pretty serious prairie fires all around us over the years. The Carbon fire and Cross Plains from a few years ago killed people and tons of livestock.
  9. LOL. I did. She kept saying well if you want to stay home and monitor the situation we can. I told her hell no I felt like eating a burger, which just made her madder.
  10. This was looking at the end of our street a couple of years ago. It was about 2.5 miles from the house and the wind was blowing it our direction. She couldn't understand why I thought it was a good idea to pack the vehicles in case we had to leave in a hurry. Because prairie fires move so slow....
  11. This fire is about 4 miles from my house. The smoke is moving directly over our house. My wife is pissed because I haven't taken her to dinner
  12. You can't be dissing the stuff that help us kill all those brain cells......
  13. My parents died when I was young. They had bought 3 funeral plots in case I went before them. Since I didn't and had other plans, my aunt asked me if she could be buried next to my mom (her sister). I told her that was fine by me, but asked why didn't she want to be buried next to her husband. She said "When JESUS calls me out of the ground, that SOB (her husband) is the last person I want to see."
  14. I had to get a CT done on my shoulder today. Between the two old deaf guys screaming their maladies and aches at each other and the other talking with the speaker on her phone I felt very surly.
  15. And Bridget Fonda....
  16. Yeah, I probably won't wave.
  17. We'll wave at you as we're on our way up.
  18. How in the hell can this even be the same woman?
  19. My daughter volunteers to help upkeep neglected cemeteries. She always reminds me of this and believes markers and tombstones are a tribute and reminder for the common man/women. I really can't disagree with her, though I know I'm the only one that ever visits my mom and dad's grave.
  20. I told a funeral saleswoman (who was trying to sell me a prearranged funeral) that my wife could put me in a garbage bag and set me on the corner for the truck to carry me away. Also my wife is a retired teacher so she is not entitled to any of my Social Security. So I told her to buy a new freezer, fold me up and put a lock on it so she could keep collecting my SS checks. I travel all over the backroads in the state. Every 5 miles there is a sign pointing to a cemetery down a dirt road that hasn't been visited in 20 years. After your kids are gone, no one is going to stop by anyway, so who cares where your carcass ends up?
  21. I will quit complaining about my wife being on Facebook for 3 hours a night and appreciate the silence.

    Gym Pet Peeves

    I've seen/heard people use their phones while sitting at a machine and even on the commode. But today was the first time I ever heard someone on their (speaker) phone while they were taking a shower.
  23. I'm not too sure Jerry would care about media that might come back to bite him.....
  24. So does anyone else have an automatic blood pressure cuff on or within reach of the kitchen table?
