Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Just a few days ago it was Granny having trouble getting Tom to the ER.... Same general problem. Wound on a foot or leg? I don't remember where but it seems like Tom listened to Nancy and finally went.

leg

I'm here, Larry! Just takes a bit to get settled. Triage... Paperwork... blood work... IV... etc. Talk to dr. Now waiting while he sees other pt's and looks at my labs and thinks smart thoughts, lol.

Did you tell the dr. you were feeling "off" now?

Ma filled on earlier this year that was of $1100 for 30 days. Just once. Doc got her some samples but never was it filled again and she is doing great without it.

OMG!

We had a pharmacist who used to come through and audit charts every month. One night I asked him why prescription drug prices were skyrocketing so much. At the time I was paying something like 50$ for one RX for myself and when I started it it was like 7.50. I told him I had read that I could get it for 4 dollars if I could get to Mexico. Same drug, same manufacturer in the US. Why? He said, because people in Mexico are poor.

So are people in the US if we have to keep paying outrageous prices for the meds we need.

This was on FB. I thought it was funny.
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Made my day!

Hang in there! At least you may finally know what's going on. You would be too worried at home to sleep! Glad you are getting the care you deserve!

Yeah, I have cats that are sitting in front of me with a knife in one had and a fork in the other.

Guess I'd better go feed them before they decide to use the utensils on me.

Running weird means I feel like the tranny or RPM s are not feeling like usual. When I put on the brakes, they go pretty far down before they start working. I just have driven two different cats lately and their brakes don’t go down as far mine do.

Do say!
Quite the picture!

You just remember this, you stubborn old lady, when we're all here telling YOU to go see the doctor and you won't!

Indeed!

I've taken Celebrex. Stuff is great but with the chronic gastritis....everything that works causes me stomach distress. Same with Naproxen. Doctor gives me relief from the arthritis by giving me shots of steroids along with injectable anti inflammatory drugs but I have to be careful with them due to my stomach and colon problems.

As for prices DH's dermatologist wanted to start him on a new topical med for his skin problems. Since the VA refused to cover it, the price would have come out of our pockets. 837 dollars. Needless to say he told them no thankyou.

In this day and age there is so much help available like never before... But what is it worth if the price is out of reach?
