One Day in the Life of a Wolf - Memorial 7-25-20

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

On the minus side, Jeanette returned this afternoon. It seems her 30 year old boyfriend wanted to put her out on the street to earn him a living

On the plus side, someone broke into Monty's motor home and stole his $200 woofer.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I called 911 for Monty last night and the ambulance took him away. His foot had swolen up twice normal size.

On the plus side, I called the hospital to check on him. He was babbling about attempting suicide and the hospital decided to keep him for a 72-hour psychiatric evaluation - woo hoo

Nope, never a dull moment in the Wolf house.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I guess Monty isn't nuts after all, the hospital let him go today. I was napping when I heard him screaming foul language at Liz because someone had ransacked his motor home.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I had a headache all morning but that wasn't unusual so I ignored it. Then later this afternoon, I was feeling a sharp pain in my left side about a 6 on the 1-10 scale. By 7:00pm, the pain had increased to a 7+. I walked the mile up to the ER and sought medical attention.

Four hours later, they said I have a whopping sized kidney stone but they don't admit you just for stones

On the plus side, I did get exercise, one mile walk each way, a shot of pain killer , two vicodinpills and a prescription for more Vicodin and some med called Flowmax to ease the movement of the stone.

On the minus side, after getting back home, I was looking forward to an ice-cold Coke. Unfortunately, Jeanette had entered my room and stole my old Coke in the fridge.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I can't wait till morning so I can go get the Vicodin. Ibuprofen barely even takes the edge off the sharp pain.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Unfortunately, my California medi-cal won't cover the Vicodin. I'll have to take whatever pain med it does cover. Walgreens is calling the ER now for confirmation..

Meanwhile, I sit here in agony. It hurts.

I've had like 33 stones since 1969 but this is my first big one in ten or so years. As I recall, they were easier to handle when I was younger - LOL

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Last night, I slept pain free thanks to the Vicodin I took a sleeping pill to aid my sleep due to the great heat California is currently having.

I haven't had the need to take a second Vicodin so far. MacWolf knocks on wood.

Maybe I'm lucky that I'm in great physical shape. As you may not realize. I, River, Paolo and Kristoff all possess the body of Greek gods.

P.S. Kristoff, that Greek god wants his body back

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Oops, I spoke too soon. The pain just now started up again but it's different so far. It's not the stabbing pain is the side, it's more the pain in the tip of the penis as if I had a urinary infection.

And yes, I just now took my second Vicodin.

Into each day a little rain must fall

[kristoff]

make sure you keep the vicodin in your pocket. easily stolen, easily sold for quick cash.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Boy did I really miscalculate this morning. About 10:30am the pain skyrocketed to over 9. I was in so much agony I called 911.

The ER doctor ordered an xray, blood test and urine samples. Then she got me a shot of pain killer that knocked my agony from a 9 to a three. She gave me an Rx for Motrin and said to take it with the Vicodin.

I just now got home from my walk home from the ER. I dropped off my Rx at the pharmacy and I go to pick it up in 20 minutes.

Hopefully, tonight will be better.

[kristoff]

As my dad always used to say, "This too shall pass." I'll bet it is going to be a doozy moving on through. Can you ask for lithotriptor treatment - busting up stones with sound waves?

Funny kidney stone humor If it doesn't leave my body on its own by next week or if the pain gets too intolerable again, I'll beg for the lithotriptor.

At the moment the combination of 600mgs Motrin & the Vicodin seem to be at least lowering the pain to a tolerable level.

And yes Kristoff, I have the two meds well hidden in my bedroom.

Kristoff, it sounds like you're familar with stones

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Obviously, I have offended the Weather Witch - KOLA, our local radio station says it was 120 F. To quote IEunuch, "that too effing hot"

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I'm still taking the new combo of pain killers, Motrin and Vicodin, and no major discomfort

so far. MacWolf knocks on wood.

After I took the pills after getting up today, I needed to eat and recalled I was out of money till payday. I walked over to Jack-in-the-Box and they let me put a meal "on the cuff" till September 1. That's one advantage of eating there everyday

I'm hoping this won't be another 120 F. day but we shall see. I'm optimistic.

I wonder if the Red Nun needs a roommate. I make meatloaf (MacWolf shudders)

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Thank Gawd, the weather witch gave us a reprieve: it was only 94 today Woo Hoo

WHEN IT RAINS, IT REALLY POURS

Today, as I was paying utility bills, I thought this month I'd have just enough to cover utilities and food. Good huh?

Then, the devil appeared:

City Code Enforcement came by

and cited me for numerous violations:

#1 - Monty's junk in driveway = I go down tomorrow to start eviction papers on Monty. If his junk isn't gone by September 16, I get fined $1,000 per day per violation.

#2 - Outside trim of house needs painting. Liz has paint and her and her friends are painting it now.

#3 - Trash cans not place d inside of gate (due to Monty's junk).

#4 - I need more grass in the front yard.

Code enforcement says I owe a $400 fine (which I can't afford to pay) by September 16th.

What I really need is the cost of a big city dumpster for a week so I can place Monty's trash inside.

Failure to haul away Monty's junk means I lose the house. HELP.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Monty's new roommate forked over $100 to me today Monty only gave me $20.00

I thought you were evicting Monte; now he has a paying roommate?

You do lead an interesting life.

Transward, I made an even more frightening discovery: I looked in my full length mirror and was shocked to realize, "OMG I look as OLD as River"

Don't worry. After the first few centuries you don't care as much.

And after that you don't reflect in a mirror.

As soon as I can get "my" phone out of Liz's room, I'm calling Child Protective Services on Jeanette. She broke into my room today and stole Cokes and food. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

In response to the kind call made by Jesus to me a few minutes ago, I will say I'm still alive. I'd say I'm 'well' except for a nagging migraine.

My driveway is halfway cleaned up, my front yard is mowed and my trash cans are inside the gate - all of which Code Enforcement had complained about.

And, Liz is painting my bathroom

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I'm awaiting Liz to leave so I can call Child Protective Services and the Police. Jeanette just stole all my bread. Now, I'll run out of food before the end of the month.

On the plus side, Code Enforcement came by, looked but didn't stop.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Code Enforcement sent me a letter saying I now owe $550 in fines and, if it is not paid in five days, it will be added to my property tax bill as a lien.

When it rains, it pours

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I'm shaking all over from having an argument with Jeanette. I caught her in my fridge and I threatened to toss her out bodily. She left but I'm still shaking.
