No more mister nice guy. I'm sick of people not doing what they say they are going to do. Dr. at VA said she would order me a back brace & wheel chair. Thought I had 2 appointments at the VA yesterday. Even was sent a letter saying I had them.
Call just to make sure that I had written down the right date & time. Nope, no appointments, have 1 for next week for an x-ray. Why??? They already took x-rays.!!! Then a few days later 1 with the pee Dr. & another 1 for something else in another few days.
Sleep about 2 hours tonight, man that is good, wake up to pee. Pain hits me in the left calf, makes my back pain a minor irritation. 2 Minutes later pee again, pain hits my right ankle, as bad or worse than the other. Just does not last as long. Sit down for a minuet, pee again. Come in play computer, get as far as the face of this story, pee again. Type 1 sentence & pee again.
Trying to rid my life of irritations, little & large.
Want too fix a cheese tartilla,. New tartillias a few days ago, dried out the day I open the package. no cheese. must have left it out a few days ago. Bony must have stolen it. Want to kill her. Know I will not do that, but is sure sounds like a good solution.
Things are actually going pretty well, with a couple of things that may sound strange to you. 1 finally called Cody's grand ma, want to ask what she has found out. He did not die from street drugs, Dr.'s pain pills. Had she kept her word over the last several years he would be alive today. She did a damm poor job on her own too kids. What made her think she could do a better job on Cody & his sister. I'm for sure no expert on raising kids, but as long as she listened to me & acted accordingly things went pretty well. Her daughter is almost brain dead from dope, son been to prison twice for dope & selling it.
Other thing, on thanks giving try too start tractor. nope it needs a new battery. That is actually a relief, at least now I don't have to wonder.
At times I feel sort of guilty asking my friend for help. But then think, spent about 3 hours at his place using tractor. Gave him Cody's 22 rifle, a stove I made, a Chines fire place, new toaster oven, pick nick table with 2 chairs. Dozens of other small things. Actually glad to do it. No resentment, as he is good friend & always glad to help.
Sort of like the compressor problems. Have 1 that works with a 2 hp motor very little use, bought motor just for it. Its pulling way too much current. Very slow as well. Cords get hot & so does motor. Have a big 50 gallon compressor, 3 hp 220V motor, with some difficulty get it plugged in. Has not been used for several years. Need a long hose to reach ramp & plug into other hose. Have to dig it out. I mean with a shovel, as it is covered with dirt. Change fittings with just a little difficulty. Hose does not blow up & it turns its self off when pressure comes up & that is pretty fast.
Happy with most of what I got at Harbor Fright except the belt sander. Plenty strong, & belt tracks well. Dust bag is a joke & if I put it on it's just in the way. Dust port blows right at my face. Can only sand going in 1 direction as too much crap sticking out on left side.
When I went to town a week or so ago, didn't think I was going to get out of the yard. Every time I pressed on the gas it spit sputtered & tried to die. Near new battery, damm side terminal already screwing up. AC recently fixed, barely cools the air & even that takes forever. Power steering now has a bad leak.
OH well life goes on & most of the time I'm pretty happy. VA was off the hook for over 40 years, All I ever got was a loan to buy a house. Have a 2 month food supply, counting canned frozen things.
A little low on beer, but have enough $$ to get a little more. Friend going to take in beer cans & old battery's, can use $$ for beer or battery.
More later. Feel better getting this off my chest. Sorry I took it out on you or anyone else.
Jim
