So, I went with my Ma to my doctor today. Christ. What you don’t know can kill you. She has been going to our local VA Clinic for well on 8 plus years now. Because of the way this clinic is set up, they only offer doctor visit’s and lab work. All other care is ‘resourced’ out to the larger clinics in big cities that are at least an hour and a half ( Read more... )

Yesterday, our cat, Tigger passed from this life to somewhere unknown to me. Once upon a time I would have said that animals go to heaven, the christian version of heaven, and frolic about in meadows filled with rainbows and butterflies.

I usually don’t post song lyrics just for the sake of song lyrics, but today was an unusual day for me. I had to drive to town about 30 minutes away this morning to take my neighbor’s cat to the vet for her. (long story) my sister came with me. It was helpful due to the cat, but the woman talks constantly. 30 minutes there. In the waiting room. 30 ( Read more... )

Today I got a cortisone shot in my right shoulder for a rotator cuff injury. The injury is several months old and the pain has been getting steadily worse and this was supposed to “fix” it. Well, so much for that great idea. lol. I asked the doctor how long the shot works for, he said “anywhere from 1 day to 10 years; it depends on how your body ( Read more... )

This past weekend I watched National Treasure. It’s a good movie. I had seen it before, when it first came out. I enjoyed it then too. But then I watched it and enjoyed it, as a movie.
