The one place that seems OK, and I don't think I'd like it if it wasn't.<br /><br />For cancer I go from Altoona to Pittsburgh, and today was my day. Water works are extremely important. If you don't want to drive yourself (I don't drive, it really tires my wife) the VA doth provide a shuttle. One catcheth it very early in the morning, it departeth at 0700. One is well advised to NOT take one's blood pressure medication prior to leaving as there is only one stop between Altoona and Pittsburgh where one may use the facilities. And the road is BUMPY!<br />The good news: There IS a stop<br />Bad news: the men's room has only a one-holer<br />GN: most of us are elderly and somewhat crippled up so the more hale can get there quickly<br />BN: We're ALL pretty crippled up and get there in a bunch<br />GN: We all have enlarged prostates so while painful, retention is a bit easier<br />BN: The guy using the facilities has an enlarged prostate, too, and it reeeaaally takes a while for relief.<br />So, there's over twenty old geezers trying to look nonchalant as they do their best to keep from doing a wee-wee dance like a three year old or leap about in distress like demented salmon.<br /><br />Yeah, life can suck.<br /><br />Two doctors that I would really be tempted to teach the wisdom of the old southern saying, "Never pick a fight with an old man" the hard way:<br /><br />They were going to start me on Interferon, and this person told me I better put on weight as the side effects were such that I needed some sort of a nutritional cushion.<br />Due to my siezure disorder and the effects of Inertferon, they took me off of it, and the same guy really gave me hell for my weight, called me a "fat slob" and professed contempt for all who "let themselves go" as I had. Lucky for him my wife wasn't with me that day.<br /><br />Then there was that Albert Schweizer clone last year who, when apprised of the fact that I was in agony, simply said, "So"? His thesis was that pain wasn't "clinically signifigant". If it couldn't be quantified it had no meaning or importance and it concerned him not. <br /><br />If I could have moved and gotten to my cane, we'd of seen how "subjective" and "insignifigant" he would have found it.Sargenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-22321158035164987062010-09-20T13:31:29.591-04:002010-09-20T13:31:29.591-04:00Owww.

Thanks for reminding me why I should consider myself divinely lucky never to have experienced any urinary infections or kidney stones or whatever (it’s not very clear which you have). Or migraines. Or broken bones. Makes sheltered bedroom living seem that much better all of a sudden.<br /><br />… No comment.<br /><br />Anyway. Best wishes, of course, and have a good convalescence. Hope to hear more snark from ya soon.Joé McKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037015111554209304noreply@blogger.com
