Cont'd. It's involved. an Oncologist some day soon, to determine what KIND of tumor it IS and what's to be done for it. I have another surgery this week to remove the stents. NO FUN and the uncertainty doesn't help. If I go to the VA about it, they'll just CYA and discount my claim. I need help.

Cont'd. I hate these short post limits!! Anyway, NOW I'm getting treatment for the conditions OUTSIDE of the VA (who told me I had a horseshoe kidney--I DON'T-idiot doc couldn't' tell the difference between that, and a PANCREAS. OR the difference between a "stone"and a TUMOR.I expect to talk to

Cont'd. Basically, I think I need to speak with a Disability Lawyer conversant in VA regulations and repercussions. I only discovered this idiocy by *accident*--wanted dental implants, and they required me to get a physical exam first. The stones were noted, and I had a Staph infection, UTI ...

Cont'd. God this is long...The VA decided to "wait and see" about further treatment of the stones (they only EVER mentioned "stones"--never a TUMOR or Cancer), and told me to "come back if it hurts me". On what PLANET does a doctor discover CANCER and NOT ADVISE THE PATIENT?!? The long and short...

STILL cont'd...this week I go back for them to remove the stents, and hopefully will get access to an Oncologist that can tell me WHAT KIND of Cancer it IS, and how long has it been going on. I'm just floored that the VA decided "People live their WHOLE LIVES with kidney stones and never have issues

Last post, cont'd: What they ALSO found was a TUMOR. But they NEVER TOLD ME THAT. A decade later, I'm having to deal with complications from the stones, perpetual Staph infections, and my *current* Urologist has already done one procedure to remove the stones and insert *stents* into the ureters.

I am in a peculiar situation. Eleven years ago, I presented to the VA with abdominal pain. Since I'm *female*, they immediately sent me to gynecology. This is *after* surviving TWO hysterectomy procedures. Finding only an "echo" they referred me to Urology, where they discovered I had "kidney stones

I haven't seen it noted anywhere yet, but am *I* the *only* person who noticed that the news about "TACO" broke on a TUESDAY??? The ironies of Life...lol

I am VERY happy with my new glasses! They weigh almost *nothing*! I think they're spiffy; titanium half-frames/bows that look "silver", but when the light hits them a certain way, the frames take on an almost "blue" cast. I think they're keen and now I can see EVERYTHING without a bifocal line! Joy

I'm convinced that the majority of our problems stem from the Right's apparent illiteracy with English. In the Navy, "86" referred to being AWOL--being *absent*. Bars adopted it as a code to their staff to "remove" a belligerent patron. "Remove" is NOT "Execute". They need to get over themselves.

Me, mostly. It's 3:29am, and *I'm* what's up. lol. I'll get the dental implants June 17th and 19th. Excited and *anxious* about that, but that's my usual M.O. when it comes to surgeries. Once it's over, I'll never have to do it again. And I'll feel SO much better in general. Can't wait! ;oD

Let's see. Since my last post, I've had new gutters installed and the roof cleaned off. I think I've saved my foundation and deck...lol. Waiting to hear about dental implants, and I closed a loan today that'll clear the little standing debt I have. AND I fixed my own computer last night!! Bonus! ;oD

It's been a long-assed week, and it's only TUESDAY! Ugh. Got something going on almost every day. I'm not used to that anymore...lol. Have to wrestle the cat to the vet later, so I'm gonna crash soon...*Yawn!* g'night. ;oD

I think "the bottom" for this entire MOB lies somewhere out beyond Pluto...If they could harness the *power* of STUPIDITY, there would be no hungry or homeless. Anywhere.

I'm almost *immune* to "surprise" anymore...As long as Fresident (FAKE President) Shithead lives, STUPIDITY will be America's one TRULY "renewable resource". Who knew there'd be a MARKET for it?? ;o/

It's Sunday,, and I am *still* in the "Twilight Zone" (where I pretty much *expect* to be for at least a few more weeks. UGH). Circadian shit is SO weird. I just *want* one of those sleep researchers to try to tell ME that "sleep-deprivation causes early-onset Dementia". *I* would kill their premise

UGH. No. lol. Maybe *this* weekend, finally.HAH. We'll see...;oD

I swear. I just heard about Muskrat's "plan" for the destruction of Social Security.. If he tries to tell me I'm *dead*, I'll SHOW HIM HOW *DEAD* I'M NOT! Why isn't he in prison for this breach of security??? Doesn't ANYONE in Congress have a SPINE???! Sheesh. ;o/

There is something *seriously* wrong with a man with more money than EVERYONE ELSE, that insists on trying to remove hard-EARNED benefits from the most *vulnerable* populations. Took me nearly FIFTEEN years to get my VA benefits and GOD HELP that fuckwit if he even *looks* at it!

Thursday night Took the garbage out, and in keeping with that, I'd love to tell *someone* about my experiences with the Navy, Social Security, The Veterans' Administration, and society in general. Because of where I've been/gone through, I'm in a unique position to add a little light to the picture.

It's Saturday morning, and I'm completely *disgusted* with what's passing for our "government" lately. -47 should be impeached for STATING *he* was the Law*. Is the Constitution *completely* shredded???! I swear. The older I get, the *less* sense it *makes*... ;oP

It's Sunday morning; still cold, but no snow (of any substance) yet. I've been offline a lot this week; between the garbage going on in 'D.C. and in general (local violence nearer than usual), I just haven't been in the mood. "Hibernation Mode" is in full effect. Ugh. ;oP
