Good grief, Kathleen, that doesn’t say much for Apple when you’ve had two
I-Phones whose batteries have swollen inside of the phones and have had to be
replaced. I wouldn’t expect a braille book until the spring of next year
from National Braille Press about I-OS 10, but I bought my friend in Oregon
an I-OS 9 book. She couldn’t make heads or tails out of it, and her
ex-husband may pick up more of it than she could, but both would have to get
e-mail addresses, which neither have ever had before, in orderto get apps
from the Cloud. Neither one of them has ever had a computer, but at least
she’s in a household where Wi-Fy is available.
Wow, sure hope you can get your transit card updated. Couldn’t understand
from your message what needed to be transferred over from your old card to a
new one, but whatever it is, hope it can be transferred.
I notice you now have your name on the bottom of your text messages.
Terrific! Nice to know your last name!

No they didn't give me a new battery for the phone. They gave me a whole new
phone. And that was a good thing. Because the battery had swollen up inside
the phone. Which is really crazy because this is the second time this is
happened. But hey what can you do. Anyway on 13 September iOS 10 comes out. I
need to go over to my building and get my mail because I found out my transit
card expired on 31 July. Oh boy. I really didn't need that. And I have a
lawgood morning on the old card and I don't know if it'll transfer out. I'll
have to find out. If not I'll have to go down to Stone straight to the metro
transit Authority and see what they'll do for me.

Hi, Kathleen,
I know what you mean about construction. I hate going out when I know they're
working on the street here. I'm glad the guy at the Apple store gave you a
new battery for your phone. As far as pictures, I don't think I'd want mine
on facebook. That's just my own personal opinion.

they're going to put new Charonne but you can hardly walk on them. You have

go anywhere else I'll take cabs thank you very much. I don't want to take a

Thanks so much, Vickie. Yeah, this is rough indeed! I’m having difficulty
even functioning in my own home and doing necessary stuff. I’m not at all
good to myself, cussing myself out when I can’t do something right that I
need to do. I frustrate easily these days. The therapy I’m having right now
will end on Tuesday the 13th. I suspect things will calm down for me after
the last K-laser therapy session ends and I can spend more time at home just
resting and can spend a little less money on cab fare. Someone I know
mentioned going out to Hometown Café today, and I’ve got to call them, find
out their menus (they change everyday I think if memory serves). I love
their meatloaf and tariociwings and macaroni and cheese. Of course, I love a
lot of other things they have like their fried chicken, nice and deep-fried
and fairly good sized pieces of chicken. They also have ham and roast beef
but they may alternate which days they have them. Hoping Gina can go with
me, but if she can’t I’ll take Paratransit and go there by myself. We’ll
talk about it tomorrow when I see her for breakfast before my therapy
appointment.
Again, thanks Vickie and all for your prayers of support. I can sure use
them as it’s hard for me to pray for myself at this time.

So sorry all these things have been happening to you. You use to be so
mobile, even though you suffered with the radiation and other things. I
mean, not traveling with a cane? Wow! That’s not like you at all. We’ll be
praying for you for sure. Do take care and know we’re all here for you.

Glad your shopping trip works out for you, Kathleen, and hope you can get
everything you want done at Apple tomorrow. Glad your friend can take you
there,
and he's doing it even with bad knees. Bless him. I know what that's all
about. I'm so sorry you're still having so much trouble with your shoulder.
Oh
howdy duty, I sure know how you feel having neck and shoulder pain constantly.
I've had to have lots stronger medication because of that, but still get dizzy
and sometimes fall. Obviously, under no circumstances can I travel with a cane
anymore. Don't know if this will be permanent or long term. Really scarey
stuff is happening to me, and I just hope my new doctor can make sense of what
I'm gonna tell her next week.

I want the rep to help me back up the phone too. Because I keep getting a
notification telling me I have to do it but since I don't have Wi-Fi over here
oh well. If the picture doesn't get done tomorrow well that's OK. I can always
go back to just depends on how busy they are. Yes everything is still
barricaded. And some of the first floor is actually being torn apart where the
auditorium is so things are really find a vest up. They had some water leaks
over there too and that turned into a mess from what I've been told. So that's
the way that goes. A friend of mine went to look at some radios and he found
one
he said it was really small it was AM/FM and CD and he said the singles like a
toy. He told me I had dials on it and it was only $35. So that's basically
that.
When I can't wear my Birkenstock sandals anymore I'm going to send them back
to
get fixed. They need to be resold. So I don't know how much they'll cost me
what
I want to get that done so that's basically what I'm going
to do. But yes I got everything put away and she cleaned up the Snapple mess.
Thank odd most of it stayed in the bagp boy am I glad the shopping trip is
done.
Tomorrow is I said hopefully will be the Apple Store I just don't know what
time
we're going to go. The person is going with me he has bad knees so we're going
to take her time. We're not going to rush either. I told him I didn't want to
but no I'm still in pain I still feel like I have a stiff neck all the time.
Every time I turn my head to the right ouch that doesn't feel very good
either.
If I stay on my right side too long oh boy. Not good but hey I'm learning to
live with it. But no I have trouble opening those Tylenol bottles. I wish
those
came and screw tops but I'm fortunately they don't. But yes I'm glad the
shopping done but the thing is we forgot margarine and I can't remember what
else. Oh well I told her we could even get that at the drugstore because I do
sell food. There's a Walgreens not far from here so that's
OK. So I can get margarine at least if I need it. And I got a lot of bananas
too. I'm really glad and I got uses it all my Snapple and ginger rail and Coke
zero. So I got most everything I wanted.

Yeah the echo might cause a problem. I didn't even think about that. But
as far as therapy goes we've got a little problem I have to appeal theMedicare
because Medicare said I couldn't have anymore. Megan told me that I thinkwas
it
last week. Both of us were really upset about it including me. So that'sto
basically how that whole thing went. And my doctor doesn't know where to
send
me. He asked somebody else to start the appeal but I don't know if it
started
yet because of the holiday. Oh well. But anyway I guess I'm gonna have to
go
the Apple Store and update my phone. I'm still waiting for the therapyto
thing
get worked out but that's gonna take a while. And I think on the 13th Ito
have
go vote if I decide to. I'll probably go over to the building but not staythere
very long. The place where I used to get my phone updated clothes so I have
havego to the regular Apple store. I really don't like going there because theyhave

want
back it up as well. I still have my eight I don't know how long I'll even
