The Stone and Sacrifice
Well it has happened again, I had another kidney stone that had to be removed by surgical means. As a result with medical bills that are not fully covered by the so called medical insurance provider Beech Street Insurance; I had to sell the Harley-Davidson so that I could concentrate on getting the medical bills taken care of.
I do feel a lot better, however the infection that had set in caused my blood sugars to run wild. I am slowly getting those back under control but with any kind of infection there are bound to be complications. I am taking ciprofloxacin, the same antibiotic that one would take in an anthrax exposure. I will be taking those for the next two weeks.
Well being able to work is a good thing, and I was back to work the next day after surgery too. Though sore from the procedure and having a stint inside me I would say everything went well afterward. The stint was removed a couple of days later in the urologist’s office. I go back in two weeks for a follow-up.
It appears that the House Speaker Representative Boehner, is hell-bent on derailing anything from the President when it comes to jobs and their creation. I will be happy when he gets unelected along with some of the others who have been holding up the decisions.
Will congress please stop screwing around and swallow the bitter pill that you all know can not be avoided and take action. The people and myself are overall just plain tired of the crap that has been taking place.
Okay, so the Post Office is in serious trouble these days and my own local post office has become so bad that they apparently never delivered a certified letter to me. I finally got the notice a full MONTH after it was supposed to have been delivered. One issue that the postal service needs to address is customer service. Assign someone to deliver the certified stuff instead of giving it to the regular carrier; since they apparently can not be bothered to walk up to the front door and ring the door bell.
I used to know my carrier by NAME, now I am lucky to even see the same one twice in a week. As for getting to the post office, with them now closing so early I have to wait for my day off to take care of any business with them; and doing so in person can be difficult when they only have one clerk at the front working and you have twenty or more people standing in line.
Frankly the whole postal service needs a good swift kick in the pants to get them back into proper operating order; of course the excuse of not having enough mail to deliver will not fly either. Learn to do more with less and retire the fluff if you don’t need them.
Well have a good weekend.
