Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)
ProfessorTomoe replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I don't know if he's pissed or not. I'll only know when we meet him on the day of the procedure. If his mood is anything less than positive, cordial, and/or apologetic, we will make the decision at that time. I don't need a pissed-off doctor shoving eight needles into my spine. -
If I have not already expressed my condolences for your loss, please allow me to do so now. A loss of this magnitude can be difficult to cope with. I wish you and yours the best.

I'll have to reload it today anyway. Tuesday night is reload night. It takes 45 minutes to load everything. I can only hope it was a misfile. I didn't take it, just in case.

Mrs. Prof threatened to do that several times during that hour. That lit a match under their collective arses. -
Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)
ProfessorTomoe replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Stupid, no-brain doctor's billing departments ... Mrs. Prof just spent the last hour on the phone with several people trying to work out the garbage situation we almost found ourselves in concerning the diagnostic spine procedure. They had me scheduled to go to their own outpatient facility, where the doctor was in our insurance network, but the anesthesiologist was not. Whoa, Nelly. Put on the brakes right there and go no farther. Several thousand bucks were not coming out of our bank account for that reason. After several rounds of Mrs. Prof saying, "What part of 'No, we're not doing that' do you not understand?", we finally got them to move the procedure to the main hospital right across the walkway from the doctor's office, where we've been before and where we know that everything is covered in-network. They had to push back the procedure to April 4th, but I don't care about that. I'll also probably have to deal with a pissed-off doctor, but he's going to have to deal with a pissed-off husband and wife. He's on the losing end of that proposition. -
More of the same today. This time, I've left enough so that Mrs. Prof can have some, too.

Things That Are Just Annoying

This news is good, indeed. -
That was a running plotline in the Showtime revival of The Outer Limits. The aliens had to take IVs of some chemical so that they could exist in our environment. Meanwhile, they secretly assumed positions of power and did everything they could to change our environment to match their homeworld's.

I use a pill organizer to keep track of what I should take when. Last night, I found a morning pill (Topamax) in my evening dose bin. It was a rather significant error, because I'm already at the maximum dose just with the morning pill. I would have overdosed. I wonder if I'd screwed this up any other days of the week.

Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

A word from my doctor concerning this: if you ever do migrate to Afrin nose spray, you know you should only do it for three days at a time. What you might not know is that you need to be off of it for three days as well. I was doing three days on / one day off (i.e., using Sudafed), which is wrong. It should be 3 on / 3 off (Sudafed days). And knowing is half the battle. -

Finally went to the doctor's office for the coughing. It got worse on the way. I was dehydrated as hell by the time I got to the office. The doctor ordered a chest X-ray and a pulmonary volume test—both were okay. His verdict was "reactive lungs" due to the recent ridiculous amount of pollen in the air. His orders: keep using my Ventolin inhaler, my Xyzal, and my hydroxyzine. Add Zantac as an H2 histamine blocker and Azelastine nasal spray to attack the nasal dripping. He also gave me the third Kenalog steroid shot I've had over the past two months. Here's hoping it doesn't mess with my heart. Went next door to Rehab Management afterward and gave them my prescription for physical therapy from the spine doctor. They looked at me like I'd walked in and dropped my pants. After a few minutes of utter confusion, the receptionist went back and talked to someone who knew how to handle the situation. Problem semi-solved about five minutes later. Expecting a phone call later today for my personal info after they call my spine doctor and my primary care doctor. Out of spite, I bought two bottles of Crystal Pepsi when I went to pick up my nose spray at the CVS pharmacy. Don't know who I'm spiting, but I'm ticked off at someone today. Maybe just life in general. -

Today's pollen.com prediction is a 10.9 out of 12, likely due to some severe storms we got north and south of the D/FW area last night which must have knocked some of the pollen out of the air.. My coughing isn't quite as bad, but I'm still going to my doctor's appointment to discuss allergy and chest tightness problems. Also need to drop off a prescription for physical therapy prescription at the therapy place next door to my doctor's office. -
The Sam's Club stuffed bell peppers weren't bad. The peppers themselves I could have done without, but the stuffing topped with cheese was actually quite palatable. One thing I'm glad she did bring back from Sam's Club is a pack of single serve containers of Sabra hummus. We don't have pita for dipping, so I've been forced to improvise. Triscuit works well, but some of the flavored Triscuit varieties overpower the hummus. Experimentation continues.

I'd try, but Sam's Club's inventory is unpredictable outside of the bulk pack stuff.

Using Clonezilla's "parallel xz" compression to back up the used parts of 6 GB worth of hard drives onto a 3 GB drive. So far it's working, but it is sloooooow. I started this morning. It's 11:37 p.m. CDT, and it's still backing up. I need a larger external hard drive. -
More Sam's Club stuff, in about 30 minutes or so. Stuffed bell peppers. Not really looking forward to it, but that's what happens when you're disabled and you let Mrs. Prof make most of the food buying choices.

Aussie Rules Football again. North Melbourne is leading West Coast Eagles 30 to 21 at the end of the first quarter.

I hear you. I would have a whole room full of 1:18 scale die-cast IndyCar and Formula One cars if I could afford them. I've already got three wall cases of smaller 1:36 Kinsmart replica cars (and a "parking lot" of them waiting for more cases) that are much more detailed than any of the Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars I had as a kid. Good thing they're under $10 at CVS. If they were any more expensive, Mrs. Prof would try and run me over with them.

Depends on what you're looking for. They're all over YouTube. Go to my website for links: https://dleejackson.lbjackson.com/music/ If you're looking for MP3s, OGGs, or FLACs, hmm. I'm not exactly sure where you'd be able to get all of them. Some of them are going to be available shortly after April, I hope.

Tomato Basil soup from Sam's Club. It's actually rather good. Surprisingly so.

I do hope you get a chance to explore my other works. 'Twould be very much appreciated.

That is not possible. I like hazelnuts. I like chocolate and hazelnuts. That's about my limit, though. I don't like it in coffee. The tastes clash, IMHO.

Yeah, I didn't see my stuff on that list. I wrote music for the following games: Rise of the Triad Duke Nukem 3D (Original, Atomic Edition, and 20th Anniversary World Tour) Stargunner Shadow Warrior (the 1997 original) You might have run across them somewhere, I hope.
