Awh what nice memories and numbers. But. To be 69 isn't great.
I was 69 back in July, what a month. I fell 5 times and the VA has not made a move about my knees. Also I got a second opinion about my eye. HELLO rubber stamp. Someone of ya realize that I can't see well. It seems as I've become a bit of dyslexias. Hey that's redneck spelling. Old 1 eyed red neck me. The asshole about my eye, said,"anything I could read below the big E, was a blessing

I happy belated birthday. Sorry to hear about the falls on top of your eye probs. The VA is being a pain in the butt again for me too

Happy late birthday, Buster. We miss you around here, hope you're doing better.

Belated happy birthday, b. Sorry the VA person was a jerk ... any chance of a Medicare or other 2nd opinion?

Happy Belated birthday BB. You fell five times and they won't do anything? Is there some advocate you can get to for for you? -that's extreme negilence imo.

Went to my pri-Dr yesterday, and now I have a bunch of shit to do.
Reina 4/12/. 12/19/12 ct scan pelvis and stomach, MRI knees, Ct scan lungs.
+ somewhere in this goat roping is a trip to tooth fairy, who will screw-up my X-Mas culinary delights. :smack:
Griff • Nov 21, 2012 9:50 pm

BigV • Nov 21, 2012 9:55 pm

Damnit I forgot ask her to look at that. Oh Well. Not her job. Someone other can sort that out.

Retina DR. the 12/4/12. Laser work on 1/8/13, remove oil 3 weeks later. VA carried me there. App. at 1:45 pm. Waited long enough to piss a grown man off. After 4pm finished. So, called VA for pickup, Guess what? Assholes have gone for day. 5 or so calls later they sent a cab, reckon came from Albuquerque
Now for the 12/19/12 I have lower exterm/ pack Fletcher clinic, WTF, at 10 am. CT scan at 11am. Have to drink the good shit night before. Gastrografin.
Guess the MRI is put off till 1/11/13. So I can make another !@#$ trip
Think I'll have a great big drink! :smack:
Also tooh fairy at 2pm on 19th. JOY JOY

Damn, you're busy. At least they're doing something. Good luck.
BigV • Dec 6, 2012 11:16 am
What an adventure. Keep us posted. Especially if we need to post bail for somebody.

BTY. My blood work on 11/20/12 was good, but the Sodium, potassium, and chloride was at bottom limits. Vitamin d was also low. She "Said take 400 mg per day."
BigV • Dec 7, 2012 11:46 am
Vit D is produced by your body as a result of exposure to sunlight. Where I live, I need to supplement my Vit D intake, and I get it through milk, like with a bowl of cereal.
busterb • Dec 7, 2012 1:11 pm
WHAT?? No D in tokillya?
BigV • Dec 7, 2012 1:24 pm
sadly, no.
busterb • Dec 7, 2012 8:16 pm
Well. By golly ain't that the shits!
Clodfobble • Dec 7, 2012 9:25 pm
400 IU is nothing, buster. It's ridiculously low. 30 minutes in direct sunlight with a good amount of exposed skin produces 10,000 IU. If you want to get your vitamin D levels up, either start shirtless sunbathing, or take around 5,000 IU per day.
busterb • Aug 1, 2013 8:53 pm
Letter from my DR. today. Wants to upgrade my D to 50,000 units per week for 4 weeks.
Level of D was 23. Days like today I just don't go out much. Too hard to breath.
busterb • Aug 1, 2013 9:15 pm
Can one of the mods change the name of this BS to 70?
Undertoad • Aug 1, 2013 10:05 pm
this is done

Tnxs UT.
busterb • Aug 8, 2013 9:16 pm
Saw my DR 7/24. Back for lab work 8/5 and have to go back for more blood work next week. Stll no D in mail.
Pete Zicato • Aug 9, 2013 1:06 pm
Getting old is not for wimps.
busterb • Aug 19, 2013 8:55 pm
Got the D. More blood work tomorrow.
Griff • Aug 20, 2013 8:40 am
Good luck B.

Ultrasound the 16th showed that I have a fatty liver.
BigV • Sep 20, 2013 12:03 am
....

I hope that's not bad. You're not a goose or a duck, so you might be ok.

Does this mean pate' is off the menu? It *is* soft... /sadface/
busterb • Sep 23, 2013 9:56 pm
Fatty liver can progress to permanent damage and death. Boy that sucks.
BigV • Sep 23, 2013 10:24 pm
Well, when you put it that way, it *does* sound bad. What are your options?
busterb • Sep 24, 2013 2:45 pm
Humm. Lose weight, low fat low cholesterol diet. Avoid NSAIDS, and no alcohol. BTW my cholesterol is good.
