Well, I just had a fun three days. Friday morning at 3:00am I was experiencing severe stomach cramps. I started to walk to the Er across the street but was in too much pain so I called an ambulance. FRom a description of the pain I gave the doctor, she deduced it was being caused by my pancreas or gall bladder or both. After a CAT Scan and an ultrasound, it was determined a gall stone was pressing against the pancreas causing it to be inflamed.

I was admitted to a sixth floor room. There I met with a surgeon who said I had an inflamed pancreas and he prescribed 48 hours with no food or liquid and as many pain shots as I needed.

By Monday afternoon, the pain had gone away and the surgeon said we'll wait a few more days then you need to have your gall bladder removed. I agreed. About 3:00pm I began having a panic attack and had experienced 12 hours of hiccups. I asked for Xanax for the panic attacks but it hadn't been prescribed by the sixth floor doctor.

As the panic attacked became more severe, my shingles was hurting like hell and all my meds for it was home. By 3:00 am Monday. I informed the nursing staff I was checking myself out.

Once I got back home, I took my Xanax, my hiccups stopped, I applied a soothing salve to my shingles and went to bed. I was asleep in minutes.

I have an appointment with my family doctor this FRiday at 10:00 am to advise him of my condition and arrange to have my gall bladder removed.

I received a call from my health care provider: they said a visiting nurse is coming to see me today or tomorrow. Gee, I feel special.

The nurse is coming to neuter you with a spork Wolfie...

Nah, she was only here ten minutes. When she found out I can take a bus to buy groceries and walk, she said I didn't qualify for In Home Supportive Services.

I took a bus to the neighboring town of Loma Linda is to their hospital. I had an appointment, or so I thought, with an ophthalmologist. All they did was had me read eye charts, they put three drops in each eye then had me wait 30 minutes. Then they took several pix of each eye.

While I was there I made an appointment with the ophthalmologist for December 21.

One to three men entered the Inland Regional CEnter and began shooting. So far, 14 people are dead and many wounded. No suspects in custody yet. Downtown businesses were told to close.

A tragedy, indeed. It is good for me to know that Mr. Wolf was not in danger. --FLO--

It was on the same street I live on but three miles further south.
