Thread Name: BS: Curmudgeon's Medical Woes - Winter 2010
Subject: RE: BS: Curmudgeon Fell -- On Way to Hospital
Munchkin prostitutes...the mind boggles. I'm glad our friends aren't a bunch of stoggie sobersides!

In response to query, I'm more or less living on Lean Cuisine which is nutritious, inexpensive, and interesting as there is a lot of variety. Also prepared soups -- the country vegetable one currently bolstered by leftover red lentils. I'm a decent cook (though Tom does most of the cooking); I just don't have the time right now.

If nothing else, this latest AFGO ("Another F#*king Growth Opportunity") has gotten me in the loop with our on-line banking. Some time ago I had nailed Tom's feet to the floor and made him show me what he does, passwords, etc. "just in case". Of course, right now I can't find the paper I wrote it on. Sigh. But he ran me through it again and I just checked our checking balance, transferred some from savings and will stop at the credit union on my way to work to deposit Tom's last paycheck and pay the mortgage.

Then I can pick up a package of kindling at the store and stop at "the Scottish restaurant" for a quick lunch before heading to work. Didn't have to pack my evening lunch today as I had yesterday's -- Sears put out an employee appreciation spread (ham, meatballs, pilaf, corn, salad, rolls, cake, etcet) yesterday, though no one told Optical.

Since I work until 8, I won't get to see Tom til about 8:30, but I'll come bearing the paperwork for a procedure his primary care doc ordered. It seems for some reason they're NOT doing the scheduled (by his vascular guy) carotid angiogram today, but will do it on Friday. Does that mean they're not turning him loose until then?!? I just talked to him a few minutes ago and they still don't seem to know what the infection is, but they don't seem particularly concerned.

Just got a call from Dr. Zeitels' office in Boston requesting Tom's new insurance info, so got that squared away.

I need to reorganize my purse -- I have Tom's billfold, Tom's pocket medical, etc. cards in it besides all of my crap, I mean, necessary stuff. Need to add another notebook for "brain dumps", too.

Gotta go!
