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

It seems I have pancreatitis plus many smaller problems.

Are they running tests or treating symptoms? Do you have a doctor that you can see, someone who knows you and your medical history? If you could find a fairly competent doctor he might be of more help than seeing a different ER doc or a physicians assistant with each visit. I just want you well.

They did a EKG on me. I asked why and was told "we want to make sure you're not having a heart attack."

That is a good thing since we all need a functioning heart. What other tests did they perform? Pancreatitis is an interesting diagnosis. A friend of mine's mother was admitted to the hospital with that diagnosis. I had known her for years and she did not drink alcohol. The staff was gossiping that she was in denial about her drinking problem. I spoke on her behalf and they still rolled their eyes. Some patients would receive that diagnosis if they looked like drinkers and had similar symptoms. Sadly their assumptions keeps them looking further for the real cause of the pain.

A CAT Scan, two urine tests, two blood tests.

Your guess is as good as mine - Kristoff's offspring

Apparently, the consensus is Pancreatitus. I woke up in terrible pain this morning but it seems to have faded after my nap.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Yesterday my entire diet was one egg and some toast = I still got pain. Today I ate bread and peaches. WE'll see what havoc is wrought.

[daifu-orchid (imported)]

Hope you feel better soon. You are right: one egg is un oeuf!

LOL en francais.

Someone needs to adopt you. The Doctors seemingly should be able to do something for you health.

I still get indigestion daily, but I think my pain is over

On the minus side I was bringing in part of my laundry when I fell in my doorway flat on my back on hard tile. No apparent injury but my glasses fell off and I can't find them. I looked for 30- minutes but no luck.

Oh Mac I am sorry about your fall. Did you hit your head? Keep a close eye on yourself for any other symptoms. I hope you find your glasses. If you are like me I need my glasses to find my glasses. Cheers to better luck in March.

No serious damage, I fell on my pride. I have a sore left elbow and a sore neck. I found my glasses and yes, I needed glasses to find my glasses

I concur with tugon, you need to be more careful if you ever want to reach the advanced age that matches your appearance. --FLO--

As far as my looks go, I've been told I resemble you Uncle Flo

No chef jobs for this wolf. Two nights ago, as I was slicing potatoes, I missed the potato and sliced into my left ring finger. OUCH. It bled for about ten minutes so I stopped it with direct pressure. Today, it's not swollen, not much redness, it has scabbed over, and it's not very sore. I've been avoiding all contact with water. Other than that it's been a great week.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

My finger is scabbing over nicely and in the last two days of walking I've felt no psiatic nerve pain

It is easy to tell us apart, I have more hair and less testicles. --FLO--

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I called Lilac today and we talked for about 40 minutes. Her foot is improving but she still can't walk on it.

My swamp cooler died a week ago. My landlord said he'd fix it but it's getting warmer and I need cool air. If he hasn't called me by tomorrow, I'll call a repairman and pay to have it fixed myself.

[Uncle Flo (imported)]

If you pay for repairs ask your landlord for reimbursement. The worst that can happen is he will say no. You may want to call him first to tell him you plan to have it repaired and that you would then need to be repaid. --FLO--

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

An overpriced swamp cooler repair guy came out to tell me it would cost $360 to replace fan belt, motor, etc. He's still working on it.

Since I have no idea what repairs cost, anybody know how badly I got ripped off?
