What's up Keef. I was flying high wed. when I came home from NH. Just floating threw the clouds. First bad weather of the winter. Scary. Wind was a blowing happy my feet got on the ground at final stop.

 

[Keef]

Glad to have U back around Ness -- Pork chops eggs and toast on top some more caps -- I might live !-- Still rainy-- most of the next several days brings more of the same --
I better find my pipe it was around somewhere ?-- I need a couple more of those little glass pipes I like --
I been trying to figure out how big a small commercial grow I could run pretty much by myself -- I stick with water I could probably grow more -- No bringing grow medium in and out the grow room or shoveling ( I hate a shovel ) --I can use Timers-- pumps and valves -- Looks like some kind of recirclating drip and drain or spray and drain ?-- Then pump used nute water out back for some other crops when I change the reservoir -- No sense in wasting it -- Blueberry bushes -- strawberries - Some fruit trees --something to put on the table or to feed the brewery !

I'm not a seed hoarder like Umbra I think he got seed to everything ever been !--- After I get set back up I'll have some to share -- The bag in front is stuff I got from ya'll -- The 3 bags in back is Texas born and bred from stuff that came from here -- 4 dads -- Black Berry Snow Lotus ---MZR-X-BBSL-- (Mazar-i-Sharif of Lebanese blond hash fame ) ---a Box of Chocolate boy and B. B. King -(a fine blueberry)- from Lots of mommas -- Now I gotta go thru and thin them down in a grow -- Keep maybe the best half dozen plants ?

I need to vent. Mrs Fogey is a good sport but I don’t like downloading my frustration to her. I have been dizzy and my balance has been shot for close to 4 months. I have had a ton of imaging and blood tests and everything looks ok. Neutologist and ENT can’t find anything wrong. Chiropractor pretty much gave up on me today. Said he was hoping to get lucky today using cold lasers. Sounds like a crock to me. Acupuncture hasn’t worked. Massage therapy has not helped. Did a ton a research and printed out a couple of reports for my doc but had to discuss with his nurse practitioner instead. The guy poo poo’d everything I brought up but said he’d discuss it with my doc. Called today to follow up. Can’t talk with the doc. He is too busy. Nurse calls to say he has no idea what is wrong and suggests I call the Mayo Clinic. Half a friggin’ country away from me! Not he would call. I should call! No suggestions for anyone in Boston which is 45 mins away! Call a place I’d have to fly to! Malpractice? The neurologist said get a 2nd opinion because he gave up. No referral to anyone. Just get a 2nd opinion even though he found my proprioception is compromised. I have never been more angry, dejected, or downtrodden in my life. These people train for 4-8 or more years and they can’t think of anything to try? I need to stop because all I can think of are cuss words!

Oldfogey i feel your frustration. My sister been going to drs for nearly 3 years . From specialist to specialist. Finally someone did the right bloodwork and discovered she has ALS. 2-5 years left and no options. 3 years of BS and passing the buck while the disease progressed. I hope you can find someone to give you relief best of luck to you.

Thanks blue

Dang OF!
That ain't right! Seems to be a common problem in the medical system these days.
I've been having problems with doctors for years who wouldn't peruse difficult problems.
If its not a stuffy nose or a broken bone ya gotta do your own diagnosing and treating.
Sorry about your sister Bluegrasser.
Again, its frustrating when they can't figure a problem out but it's INFURIATING when they jack you around.

 

[thegloman]

Congrats Rose!!!!!
47yrs. That's Awesome!

Phone has been down yesterday and most of today.
Can you say fun with customer service ppl?

 

[Keef]

Hope ya'll ain't expecting me to step up and defend doctors ?-- The thing is when someone presents with a problem they order the recommended test -- If that doesn't find the problem they might try a few test outta left field -- That doesn't identify the problem they usually try to dump the patient on someone else who may have a different approach -- Medicine is not some crystal ball that can identify any known problem and give U the remedy -- For sure doctors don't spend enough time with each patient -- If U gonna see 100 patients a day U can't concentrate on anyone for long -- I know that ain't what U want to hear but medicine is just a bunch of guessing that's why they call it "practicing" medicine !-- Many doctors are no smarter than me or U -- That diploma was bought and paid for by daddy --- It doesn't guarantee the patient anything !

Lol
Ill see your rain and raise ya snow n ice.
Couldn't get out the driveway 2 days.

 

[thegloman]

You're right about the doctors keef. They just practicing, sort of.
The gov. has their hands tied so tight they can't even do that effectively now.

 

[thegloman]

Keef
Looks like you need more seeds! hehehe!

 

[Keef]

Gloman it'll take me a year to figure that mess out !-- Chit gets complicated -- I'll start off with my indicas -- I wanted another generation or 2 to bring in some more color--
( Purple Indicas ) but they'll work for now -- I also got some hybrids I wanna bring back -- I'll be looking for a purple blueberry -- It should be there and I only need one !

 

[Rosebud]

OF, I'm sorry. I really am. Did you get any help from the vestibular person? I have had it for a year and then it stopped. Mine was mostly the rooms spinning when i rolled over in bed. Not too bad when during the day. I did go to ER with it, they treated it with valium and meclizine. It didn't help unless it was so horrible i was throwing up. So, my point is i get it. I am really sorry cuz vertigo really sucks. Meniere's disease is a horrible version of vertigo. Has that been ruled out? Have you had a scan of your brain? I did not. I hope you find your answers soon. Did they rule out a brain tumor? We are all on your side. Don't kill yourself please.

 

[oldfogey8]

MRI’s all look ok. Some arthritis in my neck. No tumors. Cardio tests all look normal. Weird lack of sensation of vibration in my lower legs. Supposed to be a feedback loop to the brain to maintain balance. My problem with my claim with short term disability may be due to me saying I feel dizzy and nothing about balance. I didn’t know that dizzy and balance don’t go hand in hand. I am getting my appeal together. The vestibular specialist has given me paperwork that I hope will be considered objective evidence but a lot of it seems subjective to me. Honestly, I would prefer to be better and just go back to work. I may just pretend I am ok. It is dangerous to me and my coworkers but I need income. I am too young to retire and too old to find a job as good as what I have or had. I won’t kill myself.

 

[oldfogey8]

And that meclazine is bad for me. I can’t wake up when I take it. I don’t do antihistamines well. They make me mean and tired. Tried Bonine today and I yelled at my dog. I never yell at him. I yelled at him because he was whining to go out. What a jerk I felt like. Poor Jo...

 

[Rosebud]

I hate meclazine too, only if i am barfing do i take it. Bonine is better, cut um in half? Jo loves you. You can vent anytime you want.

 

[Keef]

I think I'm have to quit trolling fox news -- Bunch of people doing it now -- The thrill is gone ! -- He finished anyway !--
