I've always wanted to have really red hair (I'm naturally dark though the years have turned me grey), would look silly on me now though.RUTHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389012059140660415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140742090745055070.post-92232174929475170742007-05-12T15:22:00.000-04:002007-05-12T15:22:00.000-04:00The pollen is horrible here too.

The joys of motherhood.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why it takes so long to get necessary tests done. The whole healthcare system perplexes the hell out of me.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354890444410748967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140742090745055070.post-67720818304846006502007-05-12T11:41:00.000-04:002007-05-12T11:41:00.000-04:00I hate waiting in dr's offices, mainly because I s...I hate waiting in dr's offices, mainly because I suspect they put something in the air there that makes it very rarified and causes me to want to fall asleep within ten minutes. Maybe that is so the patient doesn't recall how long they had to wait?<BR/>I had two herniated discs in my lower back following surgery for a colon resection which required about three months of physical therapy to get me able to walk/sit half way decently again. But the pain persisted and I eventually was shipped off to a pain management dr who injected something - can't remember now what it was though - into my spine. It didn't remove all the pain completely but did alleviate it a lot for me. I know what you mean about the needles thing - I don't like them either.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140742090745055070.post-39931852493551819182007-05-11T12:38:00.000-04:002007-05-11T12:38:00.000-04:00Well, I laughed really hard at your first sentence...Well, I laughed really hard at your first sentence, Sylvia...."because I <I>am</I>!" You are witty and clever.<BR/>I can relate to the doctor and the waiting for an appointment thing. The first time I went here in TN, I was only one of two patients there and it took two hours to see her. I was very irritated and will never go back there! I have been known, in the past, to get up and leave if my wait is over a 1/2 hour. <I>Everyone's</I> time is important retired, working, unemployed, or a physician. Agreed with you wholeheartedly!<BR/>As for the pollen....I emailed you all of that part of the story....<BR/>Glad you have some initial answers to your numbing problem and hope they can come to a workable solution for you.<BR/>It is really nice to see a new post from you!<BR/>Peace,<BR/>ScoutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140742090745055070.post-28739296748291225422007-05-11T11:34:00.000-04:002007-05-11T11:34:00.000-04:00{{{HUGS}}} to you Sylvia!

The scar they left me with is just horrible and sadly due to using the crutches so much the symptoms I had back then have returned which means I'm back to where I started only now I have an ugly scar along my elbow :o( I do hope they can treat your problem much easier and with much less mess than they did mine!!<BR/><BR/>{{{HUGS}}} xxtaljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453067647408903100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140742090745055070.post-1042280394248213262007-05-11T08:41:00.000-04:002007-05-11T08:41:00.000-04:002 or 3 weeks over hear would be a SPEED record.

I really hope your problem gets solved quickly with or without needles. My sister used to suffer from Hayfever and since taking Propolis (for colds) seems to be having less problems with the hayfever.RUTHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389012059140660415noreply@blogger.com
