Went to the VA on Monday for my appointment.
Fairly quick waiting period....
An "intern" called me back to take vitals before I saw the MD.
Obviously from Kenya or thereabouts based upon his accent.
I'm 6' and weigh 175 pounds.
With my work clothes, steel toed boots and all of the crap in my pockets.
He then asked why I was seeing the doctor and I said, "Mostly because my hand is swollen and hurts."
I held out my left hand for him to see and he says,"Oh, Here?"
As he poked the swelling...
Friends, I wanted to hit him so hard with my right hand to send him back to Kenya!
But, I pulled my hand away and gave him a look that he quickly understood that he had made a mistake.
Anywho, I finally saw the MD and had a "Consultation."
The usual obligatory questions were asked:
"Do you have bad dreams?"
"Yes."
"Do you smoke?"
"Occasionally."
"Do you drink?"
"Occasionally."
"Do you have thoughts of hurting yourself or others?"
"Only when threatened."
During the consultation I mentioned and showed her my swollen feet.
She concluded that I had varicose veins and prescribed compression socks.
She also mentioned that I had high blood pressure and that could be causing the feet swelling.
She asked if I was interested in taking blood pressure medicine.
I said no because once you start that you are on it forever.
Back to the hand issue again, she asked what I was taking for pain, like ibuprofen, etc.
I said, I don't like to take pills, so I am taking nothing. I have a fairly strong pain threshold. I just deal with the pain."
So, She had me go get 3 X-rays of my hand, gave me a prescription and before I left the consultation, she said, " You should not smoke or drink anymore."
I looked at her and said, "Now how can I enjoy quality of life if I do that?"
I got the prescription filled after I left and went to work.
I only missed an hour and had it made up by Tuesday.
When I got to work, I took one of the pills and within an hour I started feeling nauseous.
I haven't taken another pill since....
Then, yesterday, the VA called to schedule a "follow-up" appointment...
OCTOBER 30th!!!
3 freaking months!
I said, "Yeah, 3 months, 3 years or 30 years. Whenever y'all get your ship together.....
And today, I talked with the VA and the X-rays showed no breaks.
I guess it's just arthritis....
I'll learn to live with it, I guess....
Hope all are well.

The "tumalt" at work has somewhat subsided and evolved to the point that it doesn't involve me as much,
(as a voice of reason)
The pain in my hand is a constant companion,
I got my new boots today,
And,
Tomorrow is just another day....
Also, tomorrow, after work, I'll make some crab rangoons to go with a fresh batch of sushi!
I am also going to "go in" with a couple of other co-workers in getting a case of alligator tail meat....
YUMMY!
And, Saturday, I will answer a call from my locksmith friend to work on an old, obsolete lock.
He said, "Scotty, you're an old man, I know you can do this lock. Do your magic, Brother!"
Well, I didn't know how to take that....
I felt honored and I felt somewhat insulted.
But, knowing my Friend,
IT IS AN HONOR!
Best,
Scott

Poke. (pain) Get da heck out da room while you can! Now!
Reflexes under control as proven by intern not bleeding. That's odd.
Hey ,it's not your heart ,yet. That's great.
X-rays should show if it is arthritis. Type maybe too. IF it is arthritis. There's bursitis, and who knows what other options.
My arthritis does not show swelling. No recall of what type it is anymore , but it is not a blocked artery which was my symptoms guess...Hooray.
X-rays show partially melted ice cube looking vertebrate in my neck. Exercise helps. Snap ,pop,grind. Did not pursue x-raying other areas suspected.
Too many mornings are bad hangovers ,without having consumed any reason to have one. Some days it refuses to change all day.
Prescribed some crap pain reliever that does nothing but sour my stomach ,even taken with food. So that's out after they were gone to be sure they did nothing for symptoms.

This evening, I was involved in changing a drive tire on a Crown double jack, underneath,
and had just pulled the axle shaft and the 60 pound wheel dropped.
About this time, a selector pulled up to me and said, "Garbled ain't working, garbled."
I got up off of my back to see what the problem was and notice that it's a new selector.
He "drops off" the jack mere feet from where I'm working and starts to walk away.
I reach for a shop rag to wipe my hands as I rise to my feet and say, "Come here, Boss and talk to me. What's up?"
Well, the conversation quickly declined, on his part, and I was ready to kick his ass when he said all of the jacks were pieces of S*** and didn't run right.
Really? I work hard to make sure the jacks are 100%!
So, now I'm somewhat pissed....
No, I'm REALLY pissed!
But, knowing that I'd lose my job for dotting his eye, I remembered that I have a College Psychology degree....
I walked up to him, got "in his face" and said, "Do you know why?"
He looked at me and I had that look in my eye.
Perhaps you know the look in the eye of one who will do bad things to you and smile as they do those things.....
I repeated the question. "DO YOU KNOW WHY?"
And then, I answered my own question....
I said, "Because uneducated Arseholes like you, who don't give a s*** about the equipment,
that makes them money, want to F*** with someone, like me, who can help them."
I was ready to take him out, but, he walked away without saying a word.
Imagine that....
The jack that I was changing a drive wheel on was for a man who knows that I'm there for them.
Those who know and respect me and I'll help.
I told my Friend about the incident and he said that he'd clue in Mr. Newbie.
I said, "Tell him if he only has one Friend here, it better be me."
My Friend said, "You know it, Brother!"
I give respect when I get respect, Dig!

Son, Whatever you may think of this group, do not be led astray....
There are those here whom can eat you with a 3 pound box of 16d nails for breakfast and look forward to a lunch of railroad spikes.
You are welcome here, but know that you must always follow our "Unwritten" rules of engagement.
Otherwise, you will be dust in the wind. Dig?

Friends,
My life has not been a joyride.
My pain has been deep and frequent.
I've often found dinners in a dumpster and lived in my car for weeks.
With no gas.....
Times of desperation in Kansas, and contemplating....
When Veterans were pissed upon....
But, I'm now strong and I've fought the battles.
And today, I am a winner!
I have achieved a College Degree, owing no one.
Achieved through my hard work and by winning Academic Scholarships....
I now mentor fellow Vets who need assistance.
I have a job that I love that provides necessary skills to others.
Yes,
I'm now living the dream!
From a small town in Kansas....
NEVER give up the fight!
Because when you give up, you are a loser.
"I heard that you are a loser. Drop and give me 100 right now!"
Kiss my ass, Gunny. How about 200?
You drop and try to keep up with me.
Yeah, I'm that kind of guy....Not really popular with the Drill Sergeants....
But always ready for "Special" Duties that the Captain requested... Dig?
Ja, ich spreche sehr gut deutsch.
And, since I have no family to call upon, I am now America's Hero. A Child of Liberty and Freedom!
I like my name....
Freedom....
And your name?
Best,
Scott
