First off, if anyone attempts to make this into a political or religious thread, I would ask that the Moderaptorial Entities squash it without hesitation and with oodles of squish. With that, any email of a political nature will be responded to in a most unpleasant manner. I dont do politics. And finally, private email of a religious nature will be ignored. To me, religion is a private matter not open for discussion.
All of that said, the most recent news from Noelle hasnt been good. The new health care reform bill has reduced her assistance simply because shes terminally ill which means Daddys got to up his assistance to her. What this means to you folks is that my buying power has taken a downward turn so, much as I want to pick up more goodies as posted here and elsewhere, it likely aint gonna happen that Da Ol KludgeMeister Hisself will partake in the largess or even smalless. It puts a bit of a crimp in assorted projects but my little girl is far more important to me. She comes first no matter what. Her pain has gotten such that the docs upped her dosage of Oxycodone plus changed from every 6 hours to every 4 with OxyContin to help smooth the overall levels in her system. This is on top of a host of other meds to attempt to regulate her physical deterioration as best as can be done. We know about all the miracle cures etc and none of them apply. In many cases, its simply too late while in others well, I dont want to go there. Mentally her depression has worsened along with her physical condition. This is expected and the anti-depressants are just barely managing that side of the world. Shes a terrified puppy not that Im in much better shape in that regard which isnt helped by the docs making noises that indicate that we may be overly optimistic for her to live to see 40. Shes 36 now and has already outlasted several predictions (and a couple doctors who made them) but it appears our luck is running out. The stress isnt doing me much good either. Ive had a few 3-day observation tours in the monkey ward plus a more or less equal number in the care of medical residents which is a scary proposition by itself. Room service in both facilities sucks most bodaciously and at my worst Im a far better cook than they have on hand so I left as soon as I could. Even so, I seem to have an open reservation at both which is not pleasing at all however its a byproduct of my refusal to increase my existing med load even just a little bit. This seems to upset MDs and psychnannies but thats their kuleana, not mine. The psychotropic meds are already affecting my ability to do much consistently which is highly displeasing, a fact I let the psychnannies know beyond question. This also has meaning here in that my participation isnt as consistent as Id like and on occasion I may actually make sense or not make sense, whichevers the less common under what passes for normal conditions. I would therefore ask for your patience with and understanding of the situation as it unfolds. Thank you. Best Regards, Michael, K3MXO, CBLA #6, BL01hx15np24 ... or there abouts By doing just a little every day, I can gradually let a task completely overwhelm me. <blocked::blocked::blocked::blocked::http://www.nationalmssociety.org/chapte rs/NTH/index.aspx> http://www.nationalmssociety.org/chapters/NTH/index.aspx <blocked::blocked::blocked::blocked::http://wh7hg.blogspot.com/> http://wh7hg.blogspot.com/ <blocked::blocked::blocked::blocked::http://kludges-other-blog.blogspot.com/ > http://kludges-other-blog.blogspot.com Hiki Nô! _______________________________________________ Boatanchors mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/boatanchors
