Hi, Kathleen,
That's really nice your friend is going to get you a keyboard for your
iPhone. Speaking of physical therapy, I found out yesterday from Mom
that the physical therapist we had died of prostate cancer on Sunday.
That was really sad because we got to really like him very much. One
time I hurt my back when I tried to move my rocker-recliner and he did
physical therapy on my back. I don't know who will replace him but I'm
sure they'll find someone good.

Well I'm glad he's going to give me a keyboard. Is going to order it for me from Amazon. It's one of those keyboards it takes AA batteries. He's told me what to do it a parent. But if I have trouble I can go down the block and do it. But anyway that's the way that goes. But he and I talked until almost 20 after two this morning. And we've been texting back-and-forth quite a bit. But anyway he and I have been friends for my Tele space for a couple of years. He's also amateur radio operator to. But that's how that goes. He also bought me a keyboard for the Apple computer that I have. He told me to get rid of that computer but I don't think I will. He said it's technically out of date. But even if I can run it for email that might be OK. But anyway that's just the way that goes. But I'll keep it until it dies and then we'll see what happens. Maybe I can save up money to get another model. But that's just it. But anyway this lady from this other organization I want to go to played a book for me over the phone from audible. It's a book that we need to read. For the secular humanist bookclub I want to go to. But anyway I sure wasn't going to pay audible 38 bucks for a book. But she told me she spent a whole bunch of money to get this huge plan. Anyway she's going to show me her Kindle. She asked me if I could use the Kindle and I said no because I didn't know how to make it talk. She wanted the wanted to me but I didn't want to be responsible for her machine. And I don't know the gestures to run a candle so that's the way that goes. But I thanked her for the offer. I think she thought I had some usable site.

Kathleen, how nice that your friend Ray is going to buy you a keyboard for the I-Phone. It’ll make it a lot easier for you to use, I’ll tell ya.
Oh, absolutely, you can change doctors for any reason, and if Dr. Gordon won’t cooperate in filling out forms for you to get home help, then as far as I’d be concerned if it were me, that would be reason enough to switch.

Well lender friend of mine might've given me the name of a different orthopedist. I'll have to talk to her again see if I can get his number. If things don't work out with Dr. Gordon I can change. Megan and I discussed it and she said I can do it for any reason. She so I can just asked for my records to be transferred. I may do that if this doesn't work. But anyway maybe next week I'll get the patches but then again who knows. We'll just have to see what happens. But anyway me and my friend Ray Mahorney talk from 10 o'clock until after two when on the phone. He told me he's going to buy me a keyboard for the iPhone. That's kind of interesting. I hope he has the money to actually do it. But that would be really cool. He said he's going to get me one. We'll just have to see how that goes. He told me how to parent I know everything. So that's pretty cool I think. But I'm trying to do email and then maybe I'll try to go to sleep.

Well I did one small load of laundry. And it wasn't that big. But
anyway if I do it in one load at a time it's not so bad. But the
therapist definitely said no computer. But oh boy they were doing
their construction work today. And man was it noisy. Oh boy. But
anyway I'm still not sure what I'm going to be moving out. Maybe
March maybe April maybe God knows when. Who knows. But yes I hope
I don't get the care I need. But the doctor has to sign the.
Forms. I'm glad you guys got Brandy end of the carrier. He
probably didn't like it very much and he was probably glad to get
out. I hope you get the ointment and stuff. Well at least you got
him to the vet and that was good. I don't blame you for staying
in bed and wanting to stay warm. Well they've got our heat on
high here so it's kind of hot. Some people were claiming the cold
so they turned it up. And those of us I guess are complaining
because were too hot. But anyway that's the way that goes. Will
sure be nice to have a new renovated up apartment. That'll be
really good. The only thing they did was they took away the towel
rack near the tub that we only have one instead of two. The
people want both tall racks back. So I don't know whether they're
going to do that or not. But anyway I wish I could get one that I
could put on the wall. You know like how you put up a toilet
paper roll on. But anyway we'll just have to see. But I do want
one. But that's the way that goes. But anyway we're trying to get
them back. But anywa I can talk to the social worker on Monday.
And they could help me decide which agency I want. And then I can
take the forms on Tuesday. See if the doctoral do it. Or just
wait and see if the therapist still do it. But hopefully the
doctors office I'll do it. But anyway I don't have a primary care
doctor I just go to the orthopedist what I need to. I had to see
a primary care doctor and I wasn't early impressed. All he asked
me was was I in good health and that was it. He just sent me
right upstairs.

Kathleen, your health comes first and foremost. I suspect
surgeons aren’t usually in a position to advocate for
patients. Usually, the patients have primary care doctors
who fill out the forms. I’m very lucky to have an extremely
good primary care doctor, and I suspect if I were to ask, I
could get some form of home health aid.
On a completely different subject, my friend Ann and I were
successful in getting Brandy into the carrier without too
much fuss from him. He was terrified once he was taken into
the exam room, and they knew they had a short time to give
him the shots. He has an infection because he’s bitten
himself in trying to relieve the terror that the flees have
done him, and he is also extremely allergic to the flees
themselves. We’ve been instructed to get more of this
topical medication you put on the backs of their
necks-Saraphin or something like that. I’m spelling it like
it sounds, not like it’s actually spelled I’m sure. I knew
there would be very little chance of my brother’s being able
to take him on Thursday between 9:00 a. m. and noon, and
besides, I’ve got a psych appointment that day.
Rosie, I sure understand how you can hurt from doing too much
knitting. I haven’t been at the computer much today. I
think I wrenched my right knee either getting out of or into
the shower Christmas Day, and I’ll probably ice it. It
doesn’t look swollen or bruised, but it feels pretty awful. I’m gonna sleep in late tomorrow and go to bed early so I can
keep warm.

Well all the stuff is going to be faxed to him next week. I
told her I couldn't do it and she said she could. She said
she'd already written it up and she read me what she wrote.
Ellie she's not keeping stuff from me which is a good thing.
But anyway she's going to fax the stuff and see what happens.
Another lady in my building has one of the forms for one of
the home care agencies and she may give it to me. So I may
take it up to God Dr. Gordon or show it to Megan. We'll just
have to see what happens but we'll see if Dr. Gordon will
cooperate for a change. He sure needs to. I don't know why he
so reluctant maybe it's because he's mostly a surgeon I don't
know. But it just seems like he doesn't advocate for his
patients. Yet when I asked him why he wanted to be a
physician he told me he wanted his patients to feel better.
So I kind of wonder about that answer. But no I couldn't do
the amateur radio net Monday and I was kind of disappointed
but I know what her too much to do it so somebody else did
it. So that's OK.

I suspect part of my arthritis problem is the amount of

Yes, Gerry’s one heck of a nice guy, and I’m glad the two

Well Linda I did talk to Jerry. He is a riot. Well I
called him after I came back from therapy. Yes I have to
go to the doctor next week and get another script. Megan
is going to fax all her notes to him. She's not very
happy with Dr. Gordon because she feels I'm being short
changed and she's going to let him know. Let's see what
happens with that. Anyway she wants him to prescribe
these patches it will go on my bicep muscles. Because the
muscles are relaxing right and she can't work with them.
So let's just see how this works she says I have to wear
them for six hours. She has to put them on because she
knows where the right places to put them. So that's
basically how that goes so let's see what happens. She
also wants him to get off if you know what and do the
paperwork so I can get home care. I didn't want to use a
bad word on the list. But anyway I was about ready to do
that in therapy to she could tell the expression on my
face and I was going to do it. But I hope they get
Brandy's issue settled for you for your satisfaction. I
know you want this dealt with. But anyway he told me that
she doesn't want me to use a regular computer she said
the iPhone is fine. She didn't really well he want me
using the ham radio tonight so I had to text Charles and
tell him I couldn't run the net. But anyway she
definitely said no regular computer. That's OK because
mine isn't set up. But anyway I told her about the deal
about the job that this friend of mine wanted me to get
and she said I would be kicked out of the physical anyway
until I'm fully healed she so this woman has absolutely
no common sense.

I’ve got a vet appointment for Brandy tomorrow. I’ve
filled out a form, hopefully to their satisfaction,
giving as much info as I can about who last saw him
this past May (they referred the vet who came to my

Yeah I don't like being cold either the problem
we're having is the opposite. It's too hot in here.
It was 60° and they turn the heat on. I don't know
why either but oh boy is it hot in here. I need to
get a shower maybe in the morning before I go to
therapy. And I haven't done that yet. I had some
macaroni and cheese you know the kind in the box and
I laid down and fell asleep. Oh well what can you do
it does happen. But that's just how it goes. But I
don't have to be at therapy until 2 o'clock so that's
pretty good. Yeah that's the way that definitely
goes. It's really kind of crazy. But I don't know why
the heat one on because it's only supposed to go on
if it's below 55 but it went on anyway so I think
they got a problem with the automated system on the
boiler. And hopefully they'll get that fixed. Because
I know people will definitely complain about it. But
anyway I can't believe it's going to be a short week
only have therapy Monday and Wednesday and then after
the new year I'll probably go back to Wednesday and
Friday like I used to have it.

Yeah I will maybe that can work. And hopefully
they'll figure out what's going on. I wonder if
it's a vitamin deficiency. It could be but then
again who knows. Hopefully they can fix the
issue. But I guess when Brandy got scared that's
what made him scared of the carrier. But I guess
your brother can catch him. It's too bad your
other brother wasn't closer so we could help you
but anyway that's the help you've got so you'll

How long of you had Brandy? I wonder why he
so scared of the vet. And the carrier too.
That's just crazy. Well maybe he'll cooperate
at some point. It's hard to say with animals.
They have fears that we don't know about.
Mainly because they can't tell us. But I sure
hope next year is a better year for all of
us. There is a 62 L version in the 6 ounce
