Oh great… more testing
Busy day of running errands, a doctor’s appointment, and him sending me for an MRI.
When your doctor says, “In my 37 years of practice I have never seen this before.”
Run.
Now I’m in for more testing. An MRI with contrast to begin. The way he’s talking, there will be more tests.
Ugh.
Just send me away to beach, a peaceful beach… for the rest of my life. I’ll pack up my dogs and me and gladly go. Maybe I’ll find happiness again. I miss that. It’s been a long time gone.
Fun with scammers day!

*Quick note* I got another call again the following day and here’s the number: 1-210-249-0540
Poor old boy…
I wasn’t kidding in the least when I said Gavin hates going to the vet’s office. As sweet as they are to him, he stresses out completely.
By the time Dr. Ashley got to him, he was a stressed out mess. Poor traumatized baby who never even felt the shot when he got it. Insists that they mistreat him there.
More like treat the heck out of him…he got cheese on a tongue depressor, twice! Lots of his Nutro berry treats for tricks to keep his mind off of where he was. One tech loaded him up on dog food treats after she took his temperature. All this before Dr. Ashley came in to give him his shot.
Why does he hate going there? We will never figure it out. But the older he gets the worse he about it.
He has to go back for a booster. I asked about just giving him the shot in the car. Dr. Ashley thinks it might be a good idea. Anything to lower his stress level.
He loved it!
He got a lot of these. We buy these and each of the other flavors they make. Good treats. Healthy treats.
Oh, he really hates going to the vet but…
I’m taking Gavin to the vet today for his Leptospirosis vaccine. At his age catching it could be immediately fatal.
I’m hoping they’ll do a nail trim while we’re there since I am unable to do so without help. The Curmudgeon is no help.

This boy is not going to be happy.
Uneventful…I like the sound of that word.
So we had a fairly uneventful week, which for The Curmudgeon, is a very good thing.
Uneventful, what a nice concept. We sure do need more uneventful weeks.
Uneventful, means no ambulance rides. No nasty falls. Nothing.
He hasn’t missed a medication since I bought his fancy pill caddy. I fill it once a month and he’s good. It is so much easier on both of us. I only have to remember to fill my pill case weekly. 🙂
Can I take the contoller away from him permanently?
Anyone else driven crazy by their husband’s constant playing with the controller during a good program or a movie?
There we were watching The Martian, and doesn’t he start playing with the controller. Turning on the closed captions, turning them off, playing with them on two controllers.
Got so I missed half the movie because he played around with the controller so much.
I finally told him, “If you touch one button you will be walking funny because I will shove that damned controller up your ass.”
I guess it’s a man thing. Once I start a show, I leave the controller alone.
Quiet phone yesterday
Our phone didn’t ring a single time yesterday. The peace and quiet was amazing. Could it be that you all managed to drive them crazy?
*Applause*
Take a bow if you called a scammer.
I think I’ll publish scammer phone numbers on a regular basis.
What better thing to do when you’re bored than to call a scammer and ask them if their computer has Windows…or tell them you are from the IRS and you’re suing them?
You all have a good one!
I’m hoping for another quiet one.
If you are bored…
For your fun time pleasure here is another scammer’s phone number. They called me today with the Microsoft Windows scam. Keep them busy!
1-888-904-8284

What, did someone put our phone number on scammers anon list?
I had to block some more numbers yesterday.
Now we are getting the (woo scary) scam calls from the IRS. (Cough bullshit.) They are going to sue us! (Cough cough double bullshit.) Call us back at this number… Oh how I wish I had saved it so you all could call them back!
Oh wait…checking the blocked caller list on my phone…I do have the number from which they called me!
1-202-394-7532
Y’all have some fun with that.
Maybe I should post all the scammers numbers I’ve blocked and let you have some fun…would you like that?

Yikes, both hands in braces…
I have days where, to ease the pain in my hands and fingers, I need to wear braces.
Usually, it is just one hand at a time. Not so this night.
Both hands are painful. The left one is both painful and numb–that’s the elbow impingement working its mojo there.
This makes typing simple…NOT.
The Curmudgeon’s neurologist appointment went well. They are not as concerned about his kidneys as the desk gal that called us made it out to be.

If he can’t hear his TV…look out!
The Curmudgeon got ticked off yesterday. More than usual. He was watching a favorite show on TV, when the neighbor across the street decided to crank up the music. Again.
After ten minutes of rattling windows, he figured they weren’t going to turn it down. He called the police.
It wasn’t me.
When The Curmudgeon cannot hear his TV which is 8.5 feet away from him because some idiot is blasting music across the street…Yes, the usually mild-mannered man gets pissed.
I lose my words some days
One of the perks of being the wife and caregiver of an MS patient is the level of daily stress you have.
It affects my writing, I don’t do much these days.
I also find that I lose words often. I can be in mid sentence and the word I intended to use disappears.
Poof, it is gone and I can’t find it so I stutter and stop while my brain goes through its search engine. However, more often than not that search comes up error 404.
I miss the peace and quiet of nights where The Curmudgeon actually stayed in bed and I could write uninterrupted. Now I tend to stay in a waiting-for-his-door-to-open stasis, not daring to open a book file and start writing, because invariably as soon as I do, his door opens and he comes downstairs.
I’ve lost many words.
