![]() ![]() Health care is expensive and time consuming. I will have to move my VA appt to another day when I have both time and money. Ran out of funds and none of the subways near me go straight there. I just got a phone message from the Brooklyn Veterans Hospital for my 1:30 pm doctors appointment which obviously I will not be able to make today. Got up with $80 and now down to Zero bucks. Exhausted. I feel like a Vampire has drained my entire Life essence! They must have taken at least 5 or 6 vials of my blood. Then the man nurse came and he got blood on the 3rd try. It took the Lady gastro nurse two needles sticks and she was still unable to draw blood. ![]() And just think I never smoked, rarely drank and exercised on a regular basis!! Getting older is not for sissies! Ugh!! Once I turned 50 it was like a time bomb in my body was set off the disease switch turned on and everything that could go wrong went wrong. When I was in my teens, 20s, 30s and early 40s everything was fine. The older I get the more health issues I have. ![]() That’s the one thing I dislike about getting older. Sometimes when I think about all the money I spend on doctors, exams, tests, procedures, various types of shots and injections plus any other kind of medical issues I’m beginning to think that I’m making all my doctors richer than they are now!! Oh yes my ghetto hoodrat Walgreens on Nostrand and Fulton does not have the special solution I need to drink for the test next week. Plus I’m still trying to balance attempting to take care of my medical condition with spending time with Stephen. ![]() Getting days off especially for medical procedures is like being in a fight where your opponent has a gun and you only have a small twig with which to defend yourself. and Dispatch/Mgrs tomorrow insisting that I must have these two procedures so let’s see what happens. The doctor even wrote a note which I will give to H.R. I told him that it would be impossible for me to take time off. My doctor wants me to do both an endoscopy and a colonoscopy Thursday, November 17th. And worst of All No Chocolate!! Arrgghh!! Also I must stay away from wheat and wheat based products. The very thing that most people think is good for you like veggies and fruits causes me extreme gastic distress. Basically he wants me on I guess what is now called a Paleo diet. ![]()
