I'm not feeling well as you can tell from my recent posts, but I did get a huge laugh from one of the comments to yesterday's post. Normally when I get ignorant and rude comments I delete them as soon as I see them and was going to delete this one, but somehow it struck me as funny and I wanted to share it with anyone who reads the comments. Just this once it's funny, but if this joker enters another ridiculous comment like this one I will start moderating the comments before they are published.
I've had a difficult day with the UCD Med system today. I tried to get an appointment with a specialist I saw a few years back. I got a response from one of the nurses in her office, and traded a few emails with them; then this morning I heard directly from the doctor who gave me the phone # to make an appointment. When I called, the person who makes appointments insisted I needed to have my primary doctor give a referral. I said my primary has resigned and now I have no doctor, but the scheduler kept insisting I needed a referral. I wrote to the doctor that I was just going to deal with my problem on my own and that I decided not to see a doctor.
It seems the rules over-ride common sense and sensitivity to the patient. I don't need that at all.
This morning after breakfast and several cups of coffee, and checking emails, reading new blogs, etc., I headed over to Mather Field and walked. I only walked 20 minutes on a loop I consider to be a mile, and then headed back home. I've been so inactive since I came back from NY that I didn't want to push myself too hard the first time out in weeks. Next time I'll try to walk the loop twice, for 2 miles. I'd like to do that tomorrow - maybe walk at least 4 days out of the week. I sure felt a lot better after today's walk.

I drove over to Jeannie's this morning for coffee and some tasty cookies. We sat around and worked the NY Times crossword puzzle, and talked about getting an assembly line together to make tamales. It would be so much easier than one person...
- Rainy Day
Well we did get some rain, and at 4pm the streets are wet again. I'm going to meet Jeannie & Donald at the gym in about 2 hours, and I'll be driving both ways in the dark. I hate that. It's also chilly, about 61 degrees,...

I'm hopeful that things will start looking up again. I took Jeannie to her appointment this morning, but she declined donuts today. Another time. I returned the Garmin GPS to Costco. I believe it has all the features of my old GPS...
- Thanks For The Comments
I appreciate all the comments regarding my posts on health issues, and just want to say that I have called many times to get things straightened out. The problem is with the system - it's not always possible to reach a live person, and when...

After having to delete more than 75 spam comments yesterday, and waking up this morning to 19 more in my mailbox, I've decided to not accept anonymous comments. I regret the inconvenience this may cause the readers of this blog, but I don't...
