[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1649152, member: 3916"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="OIP (13).jpg"]11661[/ATTACH] [B][I]Early good morning........................If you read my post directly above that means you know the saga of my best bud and his ordeal........I didn't hear from him at all on Tuesday and went to bed that night worried more than ever ...didn't sleep good at all , but that's been a struggle since MY ordeal with the psoriatic arthritis....I texted him @ 9am yesterday and no response....WTF ???????.........Maybe his phone is dead ??.....maybe he is ????????? NOPE, i wasn't going to think that .........I waited till @ 5:30 pm yesterday then said , screw it and I called again .......The weakest , most faint voice said Hello ????? It was my bud , struggling to breath and talk....I asked him what was up and he said he was in terrible pain and didn't know if he was going to survive this episode in his vast medical ailments history.....Now I've known this dude for over 60 years , so I know when he's being silly and when he's being honest......Every word he said to me yesterday was from his heart......Two buds talking .....heart to heart.....I tried to build him up and told him he can't give up....he would counter with needing help to go to the bathroom and having trouble cleaning himself up after a BM...... This is a lesson in Old-Age friendship's that has to be explored and refined to allow for direct and honest conversation's between two people that know they have the best intentions for each other....He told me about not knowing the difference between dreaming and reality during the day.....His daughter was with him when he had a dreaming daytime event and the daughter said something to a nurse and the next thing my bud knew was they were doing a doppler brain test (??).....never heard of that , but he was upset with his daughter for saying anything without telling him first about her concerns.....[/I][/B] [I][B]the daughter starting crying................................Oh well, you get my drift ..........................I am so worried about him that it is on my mind constantly..... On the subject matter of my ailments.....I saw my doctor on 07-09-21 on a Friday.....the doctor prescribed a refill of my steroids and a water pill for the swelling in my legs and feet , and a sleep aid for my insomnia........On the day of my doctor's visit, 07-09-21 krogers only had my steroid refill script......[/B][/I] [B][I]Yesterday evening the other two scripts finally showed up.......12 days later !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....I'm pissed as I called later on the same 07-09-21 day and told the doctors office that Krogers didn't have the 2 new scripts........ T[/I][/B][I][B]his has reinforced my belief that sooner or later , either myself or my bud will be given a mixture of rose hips and knightshade, ala middle ages alchemy and hope for the best........ The moral of this post , FOR ME , is to know your body and just don't swallow pills because the doctor said so.....My swelling has went down b/c of stopping taking my blood pressure meds....the doctor told me to stop..................3 doctors visits .....over $ 1,400 in payments and now they want me to take more meds that have side effects that could be worse than the ailment.......[/B][/I] [B][I]HOW F***ED UP IS THAT ???????[/I][/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="37984_original.gif"]11662[/ATTACH] [B][I]Just little old me....wanting to get older......I have a lot to live for now......[/I][/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="cm11.gif"]11663[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="cm68.gif"]11666[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="cm95.jpg"]11667[/ATTACH] [B][I]I'm sure you agree with me about wanting to live as long as possible .....RIGHT ?????[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
