Hi, Linda,
My dad has had Doctor Aceves for a long time and we're all very happy
with him. I go to him on Tuesday for a follow-up. He wants to make sure
my blood pressure doesn't spiral out of control. I've been trying to
watch what I eat but with all the Holiday goodies, it hasn't been easy.
Now I'll have to get serious about watching my salt intake.

How lucky you were to be able to have your dad’s primary care doctor take you and your mom on as patients. Wish all doctors were that kind and considerate. I think too many are rushed to the brink or too concerned about earning enough money to pay for the ghastly insurance rates they must pay in case they get sued.

Hi, Linda,
Mom and I were very fortunate to get Dad's primary doctor as ours. We used to go to Doctor Correia but when Mom went to the hospital because of her blood pressure being so high, the doctor didn't even bother to call and find out how Mom was doing. The staff at his office were very rude too so we decided to switch to Dad's primary doctor. We're very happy with him. He's the one who monitored me when I went to the ER last summer for high blood pressure.

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.

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

carrier my friend Ann has will be one that she can
just sort of drop Brandy into.

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.

I have a doctor appointment tomorrow at 10:00 and

I’ll go to Nation’s first, then to Wallgreen’s to

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 have
to go with it.

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.
