Odds and endsS
Well, my neuro visit has come and gone. She has added haldol to the meds I already take. She wants me to sleep better at night. I asked if that means I should stop taking the chlonozepam but of course she said no. She also asked me where was my cane during the visit. I told her that I don't use one. She seemed a bit surprised but did not push the issue. I feel that I really don't need one at this time. She was also surprised that I already had a handicapped placard. I told her that the pulmanologist beat her to it a couple of years ago. She disagrees with the movement disorder clinic and says that my movements are not tic disorders. Since she and the neuro at the movement clinic both agree on my meds and treatment, I guess it doesn't really matter. At least my neuro meds are all generic.
My wife dragged me to the Museum to join her small faith group to see the exhibit "Treasures of the Vatican". It was very crowded but the exhibition was nice. Afterwards we had lunch on the "Hill" , the Italian American neighborhood of St.Louis. The food was terrific as usual, and I ate too much of it, also as usual. And if that wasn't enough, we bought some treats home from the Missouri Bakery. Oh well, you only live once, and as they say, if you do it right, once is enough.
I don't have to see a doctor again until October, (Knock on wood), although I'll probably have to have some lab work done.
So here I sit, stuffed to the gills, and catching folks up on me. I can't venture outdoors much because it's so darn hot, (BTW the neuro told me the meds she has me on would make me even more vulnerable to the heat. I guess she really wants me to do my walking at the Mall. I wonder is she has stock in Macy's or J.C.Penny?)
Oh well, my son has finally landed a job as an accountant(woohoo) and gave up the courier job. (Some job...you don't make any money and you ruin your car. Bad deal unless you own the courier company). This job could lead to full time but will have to wait until the new budget. Even so, 25 hours there pays much more than his former job. (Believe it or not, there was one week when he owed the courier company.)
Other than that, I'm just in the a/c waiting for cooler weather.
Be well,
Tom
p.s.
As the old desk sergeant on "Hill Street Blues" used to say as he completed his briefing, "You all be careful out there" Extreme heat is nothing to play with if you or your loved ones have a chronic illness...or even if you don't.
Be careful,
Tom
