HELLO J-LAND FRIENDS!

I am so sorry I have been AWoL for such a time. The History entries are taking more time than I thought and although I really like reading and doing them it seems as my journaling is suffering.

What is Going On?

My health...

I get so tired of seeing specialist then finding out I need to see another specialist. Last week, I went to the Neurologist for the pain and swelling in my legs. Neuro Doc said it was a irreversible side effect of my heart medicine. He checked the my hands as I have been having a problem with "trembles" & weakness. He thinks it Carpal tunnel and wanted me to have nerve conduction tests on my arms and hands.

Eariler this month I saw the Gastrointerologist and handed over 50 bucks. Neuro Guy .... fifty bucks. So I asked how much the Nerve conduction test was going to cost me...100 bucks.

Nope, I pass. With the Rhuematoid Arthritis wouldn't have surgery so IF I have Carpel Tunnel just Write it in my chart and close it.

The woman at the desk I believe was the Dr's Wife. She got such an attitude when I told her that I couldn't do it, I couldn't afford it. My Rheumotolgist does Nerve Conduction Studies at his office and He doesn't charge Me more than Medicare pays because he wants me to have Medical Care. Should have Seen the Neuro Doc's wife whe I told her that.

She looked like she sucked a lemon!

My friend, Sandy and I went looking for Air Conditioners for my trailer last Thursday. My little place was hit by Lightening a few years ago and shorted out the wiring to the Fan of the Air Conditoning Unit on top of the trailer. I had bought a 5,000 btu Air Conditioner, But it hasn't benn doing a very good job.

It's not all that hot yet & my Living room Temperture has climbed to an uncomfortable 88 degrees.

It's actually cooler Outdoors than inside this Tin Box!

We went to the small Walmart around the corner, Famous Tate's, Macy's Clearance Center in Tampa, Home Depot, the super Walmart in Oldsmar. Sandy and hubby went to Lowe's on Saturday. The biggest bang for the buck was Home Depot. A 10, 000 btu's for $199. Sandy's hubby is going to remove the small one I have and install the larger one. And I'll see if it cools the living area and bedroom. If not we'll install the smaller one in my bedroom window.

Remember my marvelous grill? Well, it stopped working after the 3rd or 4th time I used it. So Sandy & I took that back to Walmart and I got another...same style. There are quite a few people in the park that have ones identical to mine and have no problems.

Marc put it together for me Saturday and it is Marvelous!

I also bought a printer/scanner. Got it home, found a compatible USB cable, plug, plug...hmmm, no plug to plug into the electrical receptacle. so tomorrow the printer is being returned.

I stripped the Gears on My mouse so I also purchsed a new one of those, too.

Sandy has started keeping the receipts from my purchases because honestly between receipts from all the doctors I go to and my new big buys I can't keep my shit together. She says I need to find myself a man to take care of me.

Another thing going on is I am in the middle of purging the trailer. Some may call it Spring house cleaning. A pile of clothes to go to Charity. A pile for storage until winter. And ...hmmm, forgot what the 3rd pile is.

Oh yeah, clothes for this summer! When I got to the back of my closest today I found a few skirts from my dancing days....size 5-6. OMG, what a teeny tiny waist I had. I know I will never dance like that again. But I left 2 of the skirts hanging. Maybe to show my future grandchildren how teeny their grandma was. LOL. I know I'm not fat...just not like I was. I may not have that teeny tiny waist anymore, but baby I got boobs now!

Thank you D

Goodness, Bethe, I hope you find out what's going on with your health. LOL...I'd have loved to have seen the dr's wife's face. You're probably depriving her of a Botox injection. A 5,000 BTU AC unit is for a tiny room. I have one in a 9 X 9 bedroom. The one in my family room is 18,000 BTU'S and cools my whole downstairs. They usually give you room measurements on the boxes. You also have to consider how darned hot Florida is. The 10,000 should work with the 5,000 in your bedroom window. Dang, I sound like I work for Home Depot. Love ya, Chris

I hope you get all the health things sorted and not have to part with any more cash. I love the Idea of keeping the skirts to show the granchildren how their grandma fitted Into them. My, what a tiny waist. My mum still has her wedding dress and It Is unbelievable the size. I'm pretty sure It Is a 23" waist which Is very small! lol. Love Pam xx
