Checking in

[Smoke]

Been a busy week. Haven't gotten any workouts in. Just some long days at work. Puter troubles kept me here till around 7 last night...I should just get a couch for my office but then I'd probably never leave. lol Tech support supposed to get back to me today sometime.

Mom's not doing too bad but then again I haven't been around too much to really be able to tell. I just wish the "system" would make it easier for people to get through. Dr. office was supposed to call my dad on Monday between 2:30 & 3:30 to get info for prescriptions...HE had to call THEM yesterday...he was fit to be tied. I don't understand...if the Dr. is the one prescribing the meds wouldn't ya think he would have the info for the refills?? I hate the medical system we have. He keeps telling my dad that he's sorry and they are really busy...well gee whizz doc. if that's the case don't ya think you should stop accepting new patients and properly take care of the ones ya already have??

House needs one more coat of clear on the 3 sections I've got started. Was going to try to do one more section this year yet but I really don't think it's going to happen...just not enough tiome in the day.

Well I hoe everyone is doing ok.
Fish I'm glad your getting your circuts in, you will have gotten your moneys worth on the new shell in no time.

Pam I hope all is going ok for you. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of you guys.

Eileen, as well I hope your doing ok. Foot and family. don't work too hard but I think your like me...you will anyway.

who's your pharma ?

we have one who, if we give the info, calls the doc's office to get the script.

we call both to confirm.

as for the boat, so far it's about $500 per outing.

Hey there kiddo. I'm doing ok. Its been really tough lately. I think what makes it harder is the lack of support from my family. Sister lives 35 mins away but has only been here for hoildays I've hosted. No one talks about him anymore.

Other than that things are fair. We determined that we were going to go after our contractor. Talked to an attorney and he said what we figured he would. He has nothing so we could get a judgement but probably wouldn't ever collect. Did some research. And turns out this is a huge pattern for him. He has 7 judgements againist him already. Fish how can he keep getting away with this. We've lost thousands and will never see it. He gets to go on working buying new cars and ripping people off.

That's been really hard to take.

Kara starts college classes tomorrow then High school in a couple of weeks. I hate when thet go back. Ill be busy driving a lot this school year.

Jack hurt his shoulder but its recovering pretty good.

Been working on the house and yard most of the time. Its coming along slowly. Bought one of those metalb fram pools for the kids. Waited until it went on sale. Its a 20' round pool. Set it up filled it with water now were draining it. Wanted to be sure there were no leaks. Lot of work for but had to be done. It will be nice next summer.

Well that's my update.

I'm hoping to s get back here on a more regular basis. I really need to keep working out instead of starting and stopping all the time. I know it will help my depression.

Ill catch you all later.

[fish]

tell jack that i'm sorry he's hurt.

as for the builder, if he has 7 judgments, you should go to your DA with the other 7 victims and discuss possible criminal charges.

[Pam]

Ill check into that fish. Thanks for the advice.

Jack has been going to rehab for his shoulder and its coming along pretty good. Ill tell him what you said.

Thanks again.

Pharm is at Walmart...they use Wally World when they are in Florida and never have a problem...different world down there. It isn't the Pharmacy it's the freakin' Dr. and his office. They wouldn't even fax the scripts to the pharmacy..they sent them to my dad who now has to make a special trip...30 miles away to drop them off...these people call themselves professionals! If this industry is having issues now with keeping up with sick people (as well as keeping them sick) what are they going to do in a few years when the mass of "baby~boomers" hit the hospitals and Dr.s offices? pisses me off!

Oh and Pam...GO GET EM! If this guy has a running record don't let him get away with anything. I have a post I want to copy but I need to send it from another computer, I'll try to do it this morning.

[fish]

that's bad, smoke.

N's docs are pretty good at getting the script to the pharma.

we have at least two pharmas who will contact the doc to get the script.

does your doc know what's going on ? of course he should, but it is possible that he does not.

i'd give him a heads up when i went to transfer my records to a new doc.

oh, and what you describe sounds a lot like malpractice if the meds were important enough. thank God, there was no physical harm done.

I only met this guy once but I could drop~kick him into next month. He knows about it and they are all appologetic, saying sorry we have been so busy...TOUGH shit!! do your job or stop taking in new patients. Gets me so mad.

Had one of my sales reps in yesterday, he's going to be 78 in 2 weeks...says he does 1000 jumping jacks a week! Ask how he was dioing, said not bad but had an issue with light headedness. Finally come to find, he was on a blood pressure pill for years, had something else come up ( can't remember what it was) but was given another pill for it...turns out one of the side effects of the second pill was that it will lower your BP..now 2 different Dr.s and a pharmacyst all knew what this guy was taking...it took a 3rd Dr. to see what the problem was. Unreal. I'm sure the malpractice lawyers are having a field day.

n's mother has a two page printout of her medical info, including a listing of all meds and surgeries with dates.

every time she goes to a doc, she insists that the doc review the list of meds.
every time she goes to a pharma, she insists that the pharma review the list as well.

we went over the list with her, and it was helpful for us all to have a better overview of her general condition.

and again i say that we should do internet searches on any medical advice we get and any meds we take.
