Surgery is Done Now it is Time to Heal

Marty had heart bi-pass surgery yesterday. A tough one. Today was also tax day and I will have to close an account to avoid check theft. Does three problems make a record to one day? I need a break. The interesting part was that a Croatian priest who speaks no English wants to take my class. Should be interesting.

Fancy Nancy Says: Life can be complicated.

Dentist Today

I am my dentist's pension plan. I had my teeth cleaned and naturally there is more work to be done. Saving my teeth is a full time job. I have my teeth cleaned every 6 weeks and yet I still have cavities when I go for a checkup. You have to be lucky with your health.

Fancy Nancy Says: As you get older the body requires a lot of repair work.

Still Working on Shaking a Cold

On Thurs. I return to the doctor to see if I need a third med to shake my cough. I still have it. Closed a bank account today since the bank insisted on charging $30 per month and I don't even use the account. I felt the manager at the bank did a poor job of handling the problems.

]Fancy Nancy Says: There are lots of stupid people in the world. Too bad you can't fix stupid.

A Six Hour Wait at the Walk In Clinic

Today I decided I needed a chest xray. I have had a cold for a week and in spite of an antibiotic, I was still coughing and feeling lousy. I entered the clinic at noon and they said why are you here? I answered I think I have bronchitis. After six hours , a chest xray, the diagnosis was bronchitis.

Fancy Nancy Says: In my next life should I be a doctor???? No way! They gave me very costly medicine that tastes vile for $175. My insruance did not cover the medicine. They should pay me for taking the stuff. Happy 2014.

Lahey Clinic is Just Great

Just returned from wonderful Lahey Clinic. They helped with our medical issues. The doctor there gave us each about 2 hours of his time. Most doctors don't even give you 15 min. After many tests, they gave my partner a medicine that so far is working. It pays to find the best doctor and the best medical advice. We just returned from cold Boston, but it was worth the trip.

Fancy Nancy Says: Travel if you have to and get the best medical advice. It will pay off.
