Waste of time...



Not happy!

We went to the gastro doc this afternoon, who looks a lot to me, like Hitler, should have known better…and not gone back after that first time I went to him… (Oddly enough though, someone had written on a grease board 'Shana Tova', Happy New Year, with a smiley face below it, in a back patient room…who knows what to think… But I did ask the nurse who said their cleaning crew is Jewish, huh?) Most Jews have cleaning crews, ha!

He looked at my blood work and medications and asked me how I felt and I told him all the tummy related problems and he said that what I am already taking should make it all alright.

That is the Nexium and the Pepcid, but I said it is not… I had so many symptoms he couldn’t put a handle on it and suggested an endoscopy, which is only due to me mentioning that I am a former smoker. He truly said to me that he felt it wasn’t going to show anything, even so…The desk lady contacted my insurance company to help me out and find out how much the procedure would be out of pocket…again too much!



Of course at this point I was exhausted and frustrated and said the heck with it all…actually, I said the horrible my to go thing, “I would be less expense if I were dead”, yep, I said that… to dear sweet Hubby…again… do I ever stop my terrorizing, shame on me!

And so now I will just have to go to my internist if I need to find out anything tummy related…I don’t have any report with this guy…I think I am prejudice on how he looks…



A can of worms is what I seem to open every time I think I will find the answer to my medical problems, since it turns into a bigger problem. I give up! Denial is looking pretty darn good right now!



I have another theory though, the one that can make sense is the weaning process off my medications for spasms and blood pressure might be responsible, and perhaps the ammonia smelling salmon we had last week?

But Hubby didn’t get sick too.

He told Publix and this week and he chose the Tilapia instead and they gave it to him for free, (Hubby took extra time to smell it first, now and always!) saying that they knew that they had to throw a whole lot of the salmon away; interesting, hmm?



Although, number one son is coming down this Sunday for fishing with his dear ole and maybe we will have some good ole truly fresh fish, Snook!  I so miss fishing…



And so I went online to renew Hubby’s fishing license, since we both hadn’t had any these last few years since for a couple of years we kept renewing and not going…any-who, I did this while he was still talking to number one on the phone and for some strange reason I thought the licenses went up in price due to the total for a saltwater license and Snook stamp totaling $42.50 plus handling charges. I seem to recall the two coming to twenty-seven, seventeen for the saltwater and ten for the Snook…at check out, online I saw the problem, I must have hit the wrong button, the one for fresh and saltwater since it said that and that was a$32.50 cost plus the Snook stamp for another $10!

Hubby never, anymore, goes fresh water fishing, after all we live on a saltwater canal five minutes from the harbor by our boat, why would he?

Bad day, alright!

While Hubby went out to pick up dinner; yep, tummy gal was miserable and needed some Chinese comfort food…I said I would try and call fish and game and see if I could fix the problem, but as it says online… all sales are final!

Too bad for me!

And so I tried to think of what else I could say to Hubby when he returned and all I could think of was perhaps he should consider fresh water fishing too; at least for the next year?

The interesting part is that this is the last year he will have to pay for a license for in Florida at sixty-five years old; fishing is free with proper proof of age and when you are a resident!



On that note, of my once again mishmash of a day, humor is where you find it, since I do know things could be worse, and they were, bud dump bum, nah, kidding, (Hubby could have responded to my selfish quip with OKAY go! But he didn’t… he just looked horrified, and I did apologize, or I will…) allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
