The eye doctor follow-up

Posted on by James Argroves in A Fun Story, Eyes, Medical

In the morning I have my eye doctor follow-up.  I hope I can see her chart tomorrow.  I have been doing pretty good as long as the fall allergies stay away.  I use the tears a lot and I shampoo my eyes daily per the doctor.

An update will follow tomorrow.

A shower under restriction

Posted on by James Argroves in Alert to the situation, Appreciation, Falls, Medical, My opinion

The new owners came out and put restrictions on the water faucets and added new commodes, neither of them work worth a dang.   The shower tonight did feel good but with the heat of the apartment and the lukewarm water from the shower it turned out ok.

I had to go and buy me a grip bar today, I need two or three so I ordered some from Amazon which will be here Wednesday.  I almost fell last week while my friend was here and she helped out of the tub.  The mat on the bottom of the tub slid with me.  I broke a towel bar trying to catch myself.

I justify all of this because I do not want to fall and bump my head, they can’t get help so I might have to go on a vacation.

The Robot call

Posted on by James Argroves in A Fun Story, Medical, Time

Last evening my doctor’s office robot called me to remind me that I have an appointment tomorrow.  Ok, I knew that.  No their office is closed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Robot says if I have a problem to call the office?  It also gave me a choice, press 1 to confirm, 2 to cancel, and 3 to reschedule.  I was half asleep, fingers large for the keyboard, and I can’t see all that well anyway.  My finger moved over the keyboard toward 1 and I guess it hit 2, I do not know.  The robot said I canceled and my appointment is now canceled.  I will be at the office when they open.  I never cancel, this time or any time.

Update to follow tomorrow.

UPDATE:

I went to the doctor’s office this morning and they said that I would have no problems to get in.  I was told that it would be 10:00 AM but I got called back at 8:00 AM.  All went well, she changed my amounts for dinner and bedtime and that is cool.  I come back after the first of the year.

Others complained about the Robot calls also.
