Still debating with my self to take the lap top down to Oregon. The two main reason I don't want to take it...Is TSA. On the way I have to go though TSA at Spokane and on way home it Medford. Easy TSA. And than the other side of coin. I don't want to take to much time away from family.
My camera is in my suitcase, it carry on. So in this post I will be showing 2 art pieces from the trip to Jundt art musuem and the last 2 is a paint by Theodore Earl Butler.
Took Regis to his regular doctor appointment, and they went over his colonoscopy and endoscopy. Well the endoscopy went well and no more ulcers. The coloscopy was different story, the doctor couldn't complete it. He wasn't clean out. He had to clean out on Sunday the day before. I'm not sure if he did it correctly or not. He mention he liked the Mira lax with gator aide. Personally I think it nasty. Liz was there and only witness him only drinking one of his sliver stein of gator aide mix. He need to drink half of gallon of gator aide with 32 oz of Mirlax. Plus take stool softer. Statement time...I hope I'm not grossing you out. He been on some type of opioids and part of time he took muscle relaxer. I can see how he could backed up for a ways. He claims he not constipated. I differ on that. His regular doctor and he decided he would be more comfortable with Cologuard a home text covid. The result that the test show cancer cells. And his regular doctor thought he should follow up with a colonoscopy.
Liz wasn't gone home yet. She going over to her son and watch her grandson at his place. He one who believe that the government is giving covid to people. They have a covid on swab that they swab your nose with. He sounds terrible. Liz won't get the shot. The nurse in doctor office, says her daughter isn't going to get shot. She said if she was little kid, she would grab her arm and drag her to shot. Well what do you do with 42 year old person. I'm getting my booster when I get back from Oregon.
The other day I ask for application for energy assistant. This is though the community action center and they offer other service. We could use maybe not to day. Such as gas voucher for out town medical appointments, food pantry, non food items such as soap. Than I'm not old enough for Medicare. Although it time for me to sign up for my health insurance though Affordable Care Act, for 2022. I will get credit toward health insurance. It should be more. I only wish I know what Liz is going to do.
Most state and federal program we don't qualify. Main reason we have to many asset. We own our home, some programs counts that against and other don't. Plus we have to much investments. It seems in federal and or state level it usually between 2,000 and 5,000 depending on program. We could do spend down and if done in less five years. You need to prove in others word "NO PARTY HARDY"
Lots going on there
ReplyDeleteThe art is 'dark' and interesting. I get my booster jab at the weekend and our government has said from today care workers can no longer work in care homes if they refuse to have the vaccine - good.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot to deal with just now! Stay safe, Valerie
ReplyDeleteDid Regis have it explained to him that he needs to drink all of the stuff to properly clean out his system? He is in danger of bowel cancer and that is not nice. My mum had it and had surgery to remove a section of cancerous bowel, three times over five years and still it came back and spread through her body.
ReplyDeleteMy niece is anti-vaxxer, I worry for her son, only 8 years old.
Cleaning out for a colonoscopy is hard. The 10 gallons of crap you have to drink tastes awful but it works. I hope it is not colon cancer.
ReplyDeleteAnti-Vaxxer are a strange bunch of conspiracy theorists and a danger to all of us. Stay safe.
How does someone get to the point where they distrust medicine etc so much to think Covid is on the testing swabs to deliberately infect them? So sad…
ReplyDeleteI do hope Regis will be okay, too bad he didn't follow directions. The artwork is pretty interesting. I say leave the laptop home and enjoy the family time.
ReplyDeleteI got my booster shot yesterday. I feel for you, living among the covidiots.
ReplyDeleteI would take my computer on a trip, just because there may be some dead time when I'd want to write or check my email or such. But I can see why you might want to unplug for the time with your family.
ReplyDeleteI've got to schedule my booster. I need to do it before a weekend so I can sleep it off. (My father needed to sleep his booster off, and I've found my reactions to be similar to his.)
Drinking that nasty stuff before a colonoscopy is hard.
ReplyDeleteWe got crazy covid conspiracy people as well. Thing is when they get sick they head right for the hospital for some reason.
