Yes we have choices. But the choice is also determined inns terms of whether
they take Medicare and Medicaid. That's the other thing too. Yeah I'm going to
look around. And maybe have somebody help me. But no I do not like this guy.
And he's very brusque and everything so that's the way that goes. But his for
current prescribing Vicodin and OxyContin all the time that's something I
cannot agree with.

Oh, Kathleen, that’s not exactly helpful when a doctor doesn’t tell a blind
person he’s leaving the room for whatever reason. If you don’t like him,
fire him and hire someone else who can do a better job. Certainly, in New
York, you’ve got plenty of choices I would think.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do find another doctor. I do not like this
guy but that's not for the only reason. He doesn't even tell you when he's
leaving the room after he's done examining you. And you're lucky to get five
minutes with him. I think you probably only get three. But that's just the
way that goes. But I'm going to call this other place and see if I can go
there. It's his place with a spring you for these injections for your knees.
I hope the people are nice but I'll just find out what the deal is.

Hi, Kathleen,
I know what you mean about taking pain meds like Vicodin. I’m glad my
orthopedic specialist doesn’t prescribe that stuff. I don’t blame you for
being annoyed with the doctor. I’d be more than annoyed. I’d probably want to
find another doctor.

Linda I'm glad you didn't have to take Vicodin. That's what me and my
orthopedist got into this huge argument about. He wanted me to take either
Vicodin or OxyContin and I said no. The reason I said no is because I travel
on the subway and I didn't want to be under the influence of either one of
those drugs if I was traveling. He got mad and said will you just don't want
to try it. So I will and I just walked out of the office. They left the
prescriptions on the counter for me to get them and I will have to. I just
left them there. I was kind of annoyed I don't know why these doctors don't
understand some of these drugs can affect us differently and the blind people
traveling we just don't stay home all the time. That's just really totally
nuts. Well I got the Aleve. And I got it in a bottle I can open. I got the
Aleve caplets. Thank you goodness no child safety bottle just a regular
screwtop that you take off. And I'm glad I got it that way. The gentleman in
the drugstore was nice. So he help me get what I wanted and then I left and
came back home.

Hi Hi Rosie,
I guess with the inflammation, my body needs a good bit of sleep, and I’ve
got plans for both tomorrow and Monday. I’ll be up early enjoying the
Raiders game and pre-game shows, well, let’s hope I’ll enjoy the Raiders
game. I’ll enjoy it if they win more than I will if they lose. Monday Gina
and I are going out to breakfast, and then at noon I have a phone
appointment. Sure can’t wait till Thursday. Will have to get on the phone
with Maxi-Aids and have them send me yet another label so I can return the
nonworking braille watch. I want a refund this time. At least I didn’t have
to take Vikodon this morning.

Hi, Linda,
I’m so sorry you’re hurting. I’m also sorry about your braille watch not
working right. I found out from a friend that Orange County Braille Institute
took out their store so I’m not too happy about that. That’s where I bought
my braille watch. I’ve stayed in bed towhen I had a lot of pain.
I hope you feel better soon.

Rosie, glad you sent it. I’m so behind on e-mail right now as I overdid it
Wednesday with laundry and garbage and yesterday with trying to find
something, one of those suction cup phone attachments. I had to change an
appointment and found out the hard way my braille watch, newly purchased,
doesn’t keep time worth a bag of beans!! It’s going back to Maxi-Aids, and
this time I am asking for a refund of my money as this is the second braille
watch they’ve sent me. The first one couldn’t even be set properly. Anyway,
I hurt so much in my arms and even my knees last night that I had to stay in
bed much of today and rest.

Hi, Linda,
I also have Incense and Peppermints by Strawberry Alarm Clock and will be
glad to send it to Devon if you don’t have it.

Hmm, I thought it was drug related but I, too, could be totally off-base. I
didn’t like a lot of the music back then if I thought it had anything to do
with drugs. For instance, when The Doors did “Light My Fire,” I figured it
was most certainly about drugs, but when I heard Jose Feliciano’s version
about a year later, now that sounded like a couple having a mellow time to
me. I didn’t become too involved with this one, Devon, because my
perspectives about a lot of music coming out at that time is pretty messed
up. If you don’t already have “Insense Peppermints” by Strawberry Alarm
Clock, which was a song throwing a bunch of nonsensical lines together and
not about drugs, let me know, and I’ll gladly send it.

Hi, Devon,
I think Mellow Yellow was supposed to be a silly song if I remember
correctly. If I’m wrong, somebody please jump in and correct me.

Hi, everyone. I thought I might finish this week’s show with a song or two
about Autumn, time permitting. If I were to choose something by either the
Cascades or the Danderleers, would those songs most likely come from the
sixties? I have a folder of Autumn songs, thanks in large part to Nance, but
not many of the songs include years. The other question has to do with next
week’s special on songs having to do with drugs. I have a couple of songs
that weren’t connected in any way with drugs but people thought they were.
Any other suggestions along those lines? I think I should do whatever I can
to debunk rumours like that. And were any songs by either Bob Dylan or
Donovan connected with taking drugs? One Donovan song that particularly
comes to mind is Mellow Yellow. Thanks a bunch for any info you might be
able to pass along. Devon.
