Getting Used To It
I will not argue with Pages being a good word processor ever again here anymore. I am getting used to it and I do like the program more now. MS Word has not been used for a while now that I will not hem and haw about the programs anymore. Pages is growing on me as well as saving between $60 to $120 a year by uses Pages VS MS Word. Move over Bill Gates because Steve Jobs has you beat for now. Pages is on my phone and iPadl
I am waiting for the evaluation to be put on the kidney transplant list to be over. I am still unsure if I want another transplant. Remembering what a high dose of prednisone and it affecting me in days above 60 milligrams of its dosage. It altered my mood. I hated it from the beginning of time—before the transplant and after the transplant. What causes my anger today is related to my medication I take today. I can curse like a sailor and in my case, curse like a farmer in my family’s line of farmers today. I will fit right in if my uncles were farmers today, but my uncles have retired their farming digs a few years ago now. Uncle Ed and Aunt Dorothy (the only daughter my Grandma Karnopp had) are now dead. Uncle Ed died in 1997 and Aunt Dorothy a couple years ago or so now. We just have my dad who will be 83, Uncle Butch (Larry) who just turned 80, and Uncle Ray who is 90 years old now.
Life in General
It is moving right along these days. I have seen better days not too long ago. Dialysis has been going smoothly in the past two weeks now. I am still unhappy about MercyHealth except the radiology department where I get my catheter fixed or replaced. That is not good in my book of medical care. SSM Health is trustworthy for me now. The doctors and nurses there are more friendly and have better bedside manners than MercyHealth doctors and nurses. Ironic, right? MercyHealth is all about the money and putting patients nursing homes! That makes me feel sick and the need to throw up on their shoes! Lol.
Better Sleep
My bedtime routine is working well. I am getting the sleep I need at night even though Tuesday’s Thursdays, and my weekends are not following the routine much getting off the electronics by 9 pm each night except my weekends.
The Government Wants To Help?
I have been in the IRIS program for a few years now. My caregivers have to log in and out using EVV, and sometimes the EVV does not work or is hard to get on. Now the government wants to have us log in and out a certain way or my caregivers are deemed incompliant if they log in and change their hours. The government wants to help? I beg to differ. I believe they want to control your life! I do not trust the government in this fashion at all! I want control, not the government controlling my life!
