I could use one of those chairs! I hate crawling all over the ground, LOL.

I did a virtual visit with my doc yesterday. I'm going to start on some new meds - should start helping my broken self. Then late-spring, might do my left shoulder. It's killing me!

Moms shoulder isn't right yet. Surgen/Doc won't do xrays, tells her she's fine. Yet staff and PT insist. Big struggle.

I had an echo and then a 48 hr holter monitor right after. My cardiologist is jumping ship and having see another cardiologist who specifies with my exact problem. I mean, that's what I thought my first was. Hope this isn't just a big game to them. Hope my heart can take it until they figure it out. This is year 3 since the incident.

Every damn thing has gone to hell. Doctors, restaurants, car parts....

This lasted exactly 2 days, then started dumping fuel into the vacuum hose. It's a Fuel rail pressure sensor on the 06 Escape. I just ordered a Ford/Bosch now.

I know right.

What happened to the days where one doctor or a favorite parts store in town to get the right stuff.
And man, if I f didn't have insurance these last 5 years.....there would be no way.

Well Mom had a bone density done today. I guess that encompasses a x-ray. I didn't know that and it happened quickly, but still, she had to be insistent about it.

W/me it's a shortness of breath thing. Like after climbing stairs, 15 seconds after getting to the top I have to catch my breath. I know, I'm weird. So I guess there' s many specialties in the field of cardiology..

My Dad has been seeing this foot doctor that keeps telling him his fallen arches aren't a big deal. But he can barely walk. I want to go with my Dad and tell his doctor to **** off.

My BIL is a podiatrist, and we sent him just pics from the outside, and he says it needs surgery. Problem is, he's like 17 hours away (8.5 each way).

Prob already has, but your BIL could help him get the better arch supports for that. A better quality insert anyway if surgery isn't an option.

I know what that's like though....my feet will swell up if I over do it. You pay for that later.

My Brother paid for him to get some shoes somewhere (Good Feet Store?), and he says that helped. Not sure if he ever got supports though.

My Brother and Sister are always getting my parents things like that to help them... I'm more of the "mechanic and fix things around the house" son. It's all unofficial, but it just plays out like that, lol.

That said, if the time comes that we need to, my Wife and I will take them in at our house. My Wife already does elderly care for work, so it's just a natural thing.
