Good Morning!
Another “going to be hot and muggy, sure hope it rains and cools things off” day.
This finds me in the office finishing up 3 copy jobs that need to go out today. Then I am home til 7 when I head to Iowa and back.
Roger may have to do adoration tomorrow morning alone at 5am. I’m thinking Mass tonight before I take off would be a good move.
The large copier requires a service call due to an issue with the fuser that needs to be replaced. This has been a challenging month for fixes and repairs.
Add the office space “is in total chaos” to the mix, and the day gets busier just thinking it over.
Our notice regarding “M-Th only” is out. I hope we can stick to that.
Ebony has finally decided it is ok for me to scratch her ears and touch her tail. I’m surprised, really thought it would take longer.
The knee continues to allow me to use it with little pain, but with daily stiffness. I shake my head when I’m told walking would help. However, if I did the walking, I’d be unable to move due to pain after the first 15-minute journey. So I walk 3 minutes and count myself grateful. I’m thinking knee replacement will be on the agenda soon, whether I want it or not. Meanwhile, leg swelling continues, and the heavy chest feeling is constant, but I have been told it is not an oxygen or heart issue. No one seems to have it figured out, and frankly, I’m tired of complaining and not being heard. I continue to contend that there are too many doctors in the mix and a shortage of doctors who are really in medicine because they want to help people. Seems to be all about the dollars the medical facility can squeeze out of the bill payer. There was nothing done by any specialty doctor that could not have been done by a regular MD with the same outcome. Being a specialist means you think inside one area of the box and get little or no look at the entire health picture. Then you move it on to the primary care, who is so snowed under with reports sent to them by specialists, they don’t have enough hours in the day to give good quality care or get to know their patients on a one-to-one basis. Give me a good ole GP who really cares about people any day. Well, nuff of the complaining.
Know you are prayed for
