I don’t write about politics. Here’s the thing I’m not going to actually say but sort of what I would say if I might say something, which I’m not, of course. Thad should have retired. Before his new 763rd term term is over, if he gets re-elected, his handlers will have to watch him like…
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything. Wyatt Earp No! Not THAT Fast and Furious. Not the President’s and the Attorney General’s Fast and Furious. I told you I have foresworn politics, but had I not, I would write about it and several other things, too. And technically, I could write about it now and…
Fish and visitors begin to stink after three days Benjamin Franklin “How long will they be here?” Debbie asked me. “Just a couple of days,” I lied, referring to some of my somewhat impecunious musician friends on their grand tour of honky-tonks all around the region. “How many of them will there be?” she asked,…
ARMC welcomes RevPoint medical point-of-sale software. We see point-of-sale software everywhere else, so why not at hospitals? There’s a few things about this that I like, and a couple of things I don’t. Well, nothing’s perfect, and hospitals, just like any other business entity, need to get paid for the services they offer, since they…
Sorry….The kidney stone has forced the postponement of Chapter 3. This is Chapter 2.5 and it will not amount to much other than a confirmation that kidney stones are distractingly painful, and the lithotripsy is this morning at 6:30. I expect I will be advocating for my favorite patient right up to the point where…
After my hospital adventure with the kidney stone, I return home on Tuesday, April 22, pain medicine in hand, to wait it out until I went to see Uroman, my long-time urologist, on Friday the 25th. He knows me well and is a friend as well as my physician. He has always been helpful, lays…
When you are a patient, who do you suppose is your best advocate? The clerks at the hospital admissions? The people in billing? In insurance? The folks in your doctor’s office? Your doctor? Nope. None of them. It’s most likely going to be you, and you will have to learn how to become one if…
Once, I made good money playing music. Once, I sold lots of CD’s. Once, there were venues that hosted my kind of music, which is the singer/songwriter type, the concert listening type. Once, I had a lot more energy than I do now. Once….well, once….! I was never any good as a barroom entertainer, primarily…
Renal calculus. Otherwise known as kidney stones. Something, somewhere has been miscalculated. The sum is pitiful. I wrote about a kidney stone incident a couple of years ago, indicating that since my old friends had returned, then perhaps things were back to normal in my body. It is wishful thinking,though, since it is unlikely that…
For the first time in the nearly twenty years I have lived at Timberview Lodge, today, on the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, I received my first visit from two of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I was lounging about this morning doing some reading, then cleaning a shotgun or two, thinking about how I should…
