Delay in the Discogram

well fooey!!!!

The discogram was scheduled for this past Wednesday. Because we are having financial problems, they told us the whole balance would have to be paid before the procedure...then we got there and they said we only needed to pay the $20 copay, then, they called us to a window and said No, cannot do it without balance being taken care of....we told them we had previously had this worked out....they had to call someone.....long story short, we got home, called who we had previously worked it out with and they said everything was fine....called back the facility and they said everything was fine and we could reschedule!

Dangit, why couldn't they just figure this out while we were there.....anyway after this big fat hassle, the discogram is again scheduled for this coming up Tuesday.....pray there are no glitches because we really need to get this done before the end of the year since we have already met the deductible for this year!

Auto Air Conditioning

I live in South Alabama, and it gets pretty sweltering here in the summer, especially in August!

I have a 1999 Honda Passport that I love, but the AC has gone out on it. I work 3p-11p shift in the Operating Room at my hospital and driving there in the afternoon with no air conditioner in 90+ weather can be quite maddening. It’s kind of gross to get to work and be all sweaty!

This website BMW AC compressor has all kinds of auto ac parts including air conditioner compressors at reasonable prices.

So, if you’re in need of an ac compressor, check them out. Oh, and they also come with a full warranty and free shipping…can’t beat that!

Reason I Haven't Been Posting Regularly

I know I haven't been around in a while.....still lot's of personal stuff going on....very stressful.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but my husband has degenerative disk disease. Last December, one of the disks pretty much collapsed causing intense pain for him, and therefore he has been unable to work for almost a year. We have been seeing a spine specialist, who happens to operate in my facility. So, my husband has had 4 different kinds of blocks, with no relief...has been doing some physical therapy, with no relief....pain medication helps a little.

Next week, he will have what's called a discogram. Dye will be injected into the collapsed disk and the 2 above it that are already "bulging"....this test will determine where his pain is coming from and will determine if he is an appropriate candidate for back surgery.

Anyway, hopefully we will have some direction after this test. If, after the test, it is determined he is not a candidate for surgery, I'm not sure what the next step is.....say a prayer for us.

Emergency Lighting

Being in the bowels of the hospital, away from all windows to the outside, it sure can get very dark if we happen to experience a power outage. Granted, we do have emergency lighting, but it is not very much.

The flashlights at Surefire would sure come in handy in such an emergency. They have all types and sizes of flashlights. I particularly like the looks of the ones that fit in your hand….very convenient. I think I would like this even for home use, or on campouts.

So, if you have a need for flashlights or any other kind of police gear, be sure to check out Surefire .
