That is some serious breathing issue! Good thing you were already at
the doctor's office.
Especially since it was a follow-up visit for a hospital stay. I'm
back to see him a week from Thursday as a follow up from this past
visit.0
Follow up to the follow up? After I had an overnight in the hospital
about 10 years ago, I had a follow up with my fairly new (I'd had him
as my primary care doctor about a year.) doctor. Steve went in with me
as he had some questions, ended up changing to him as his other than VA primary care. Great guy, he took the time to talk with you and draw pictures of what was going on. Fall of 2022 he resigned the practice
and is now a campus doctor/instructor at UNC-CH. Hated to see him go
but hopefully others have benefitted from his care.
After the round of antibiotics (six hypos in 6 minutes) they fired
into me I was breathjing much easier.
Any steroids mixed in with the antibiotics? After having trouble with
them about 25 years ago, I avoid them as much as possible, usually no longer than a 10 day burst, tapering down each day.
They didn't say. There was no prednisone though. They gave me that
after I was admitted which I learned after my blood sugar read 326 at
the mid- afternoon stick. Prednisone really messes with my BP and
glucose readings.
That's another reason why I avoid it as much as possible.
At 82 I don't make long-range plans. Bv)=
But sometimes plans for even a week out can raise conflicts. I've got
to call and reschedule an appointment for me in June as Steve has one
an hour earlier--both local but don't know if he would be done before
mine was to start.
Need your hand held? Or some other reason like different locationss?
Different locations, cross town. I was able to move mine to the same
day, just a couple of hours later. We've been trying to schedule appointments around our planned travel time so it was inevitable we'd
end up with a conflict eventually. Easily resolved tho.
Depends on what poochy-pup had been eating for the most part.
For the most part his diet was Purina One, dry dog food. He liked
popcorn and a lot of "people foods" but didn't get much of those. One thing he didn't like was green peas but he did go for most everything else. He had those big brown eyes that would look so appealing--"feed
me, please" that Steve and the girls often snuck him bits of table
food.
Follow up to the follow up? After I had an overnight in the hospital
Not exactly a follow up to a follow up. Different hospital stay. The
first part of the follow-up was, as usual, with an
intern/resident/newmy minted physician. SIU Family Practice is part of Souther Illinois University
School of Medicine. So there are lots of baby/beginner docs around.
The doctor I'm seeing Thursday is also a professor of Internal
Medicine.

The three living here get a can of Gravy Train every evening and can
eat from the well-stocked kibble otherwise. And Jasper and Isobel are
AK "Super Mooches" which Dennis encourages. Izzy also licks my
plate/bowl if I set it down for her - cleanere than had I washed it in
the sink for the most part. Unless I've had General Tso's Chicken. Something in that she turns up her nose at.

Sounds like you're in an area with lots of good care. We've debated
moving out west when my MIL is no longer with us but haven't fully
decided yet. One reason for staying in this area is that we're well established with good medical care and a lot of specialised care
available in the area if needed.

Does she push the dish away? The last cat we had did that when the vet
put her on a lamb and rice diet. Out of curiosity I bought a bag of
Purina Lamb and Rice kibble for Sam; he didn't care for it--ate it reluctantly--so I went back to his usual kibble. As he got older, he
liked it with a bit of liquid (gravy, if we had it on hand, water if
not) added. We gave him a small scoop of canned dog food as well; that
dog ate quite well.

I've never ordered General Tso's chicken, prefer other dishes. Steve
has, from time to time, but thinking back, don't think he has in the
past few years. Maybe losing his heat tolerance?

No, she just sniffs it and goes into another room. Jasper does the

Cats are a different class of moocher. I had a cat once that followed
me around like a dog and demonstrated several dog-like traits. So much
so
that I named her "Spot". One time I shared some leftover on the plate
spaghetti w/meat sauce. Spot licked the sauce from the hamburger and
the noodles and left them behind. I really hated it when she
contracted feline aids and I had to tell the vet to do the obvious.

Regular spicy stays with you .... which is all that Tso usually has.
But really spicy/hot/incendiary requires training/maintenance. I don't
go for stuff as hot as I used to - for that very reason. But I still
put a glug of Frank's in my tomato juice.

It's never easy; we had to give up our last cat because of health
issues. Folks that adopted her specialised in taking cats with health challenges so I hope she lived to a ripe old age. Never knew how old
she was; she was abused as a kitten and adopted out of a German animal shelter.

Popeyes spicy chicken is fairly mild. But if I want to get stupid they offer a Ghost Pepper spiced sandwich or wings.

I go for the mild white; I like the taste of it better than spicy,
dark. It's a few pennies more but worth it, IMO.
Other than the "Tuesday Special" which is dark meat there is no price difference between the fron to the bird and back of the bird
pieces...3
They (Popeyes) have come up with another new "special" flavour for
their chicken sandwiches .... according to their e-mail solicitation
"Make it tangy too with our NEW Pickle Glaze." I'll give it a shot
today or
tomorrow. Doing two doctor appointments today - regular croaker in the morning then the pulmonologist this afternoon for a pro-op check
before they remove something from my right lung.
So, if I miss lunch today I'll do it tomorrow. Plus Popeyes is
offering their chicken sandwiches for U$4.20 through April 20.

Which is why I never heard of it. My sister that lived in Champaign for several years probably knew the name, even tho she had no dealings
(that I know of) with them.

I've noticed some franchises do have a price differential between white and dark. Probably a regional directive or something of that sort.

Sweet pickle or dill? Neither one sounds appealing to me, tho I do like the B&B pickles Chick-Fil-A puts on their sandwiches. Sometimes when I order the tenders, I'll ask for a side of pickles for them. Some places charge a (minimal) amount, other places, they're free. Those and a bit
of mayo give me a meal without the extra carbs of the bun.

I saw my primary care doctor today, had some blood work done last week that she looked at. Saw some improvement in some numbers, always a good thing.

She was in the base of operations of the University of Illinois. It's
odd, though. U of I's medical school is affiliated/located with their Chicago campus/school. And S.I.U. whose main campus is in Carbondale a long way from their medical campus in Springfield.

As their e-mail "specials" say at the bottom - "prices may vary". I've been taking advantage of the Eaqster/4-20 special of a #1 in the US
rated chicken sandwich for U$4.20. Monday the price goes back to U$5.

side of fried pickles (think fried tomatoes). I'll order the fried

The dill pickle slicesd and the zippy mayo are all I need/want/desire
on my chicken
sandwich .... unless there is a slice of tomato laying about.

And I learned that this next deal is not removal but a biopsy. Dr.
Taylor described the procedure and the possible outcomes. And what the oprions are if the biopsy comes back with the Big C. I present myself
to Special Procedures at 05:15 next Wednesday for what shoud be an out-patient deal.
