Merry Go Round Home, Hospital, Clinic, Home. Confusion

 The saga started at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital's Wound Clinic.  A small lesion on my right leg was healing well;  but the big toe was wildly inflamed and infected. Thus followed surgery for that; with a bonus -  the long overdue insertion of a stent from my heart  to my right leg.   On one of my furloughs I was sent home bearing a Jackson-Pratt drainage machine with instructions for its use. Grrh   a plastic tube broke loose as I slept,  causing a flood in my sleep wear etc.   Fortunately that was the day for a nurse to be at my home. Back at the Hospital I was not a particularly good boy.  When given the choice between going home or having therapy I always chose to go home. On one occasion I chose home.   No sooner had I been there I fell into a sense of deep loneliness. I went back to the hospital where I had to be treated as a new patient.   I had allowed my stubborn will to override my good sen...

Things are going well-ish.

  Mr Cooper and I were able spend times today (morning and  afternoon  at the 17th St Dog Park.  My short walks were useful in the healing journey.  Cooper ran amuck as I rested.  Good for Coop and good for me   BUT NOT GREAT I  had a wrangle with my therapy clinic.   The clinic placed me in a (sporadic and irregular ) program  for frequent fallers.  I am not such.   I need a progamme for daily steps t'ward full recovery. in a broad scope    We'll find one soon! jmp

SCAM MEDICAL SCAM NAUGHTY JONATHAN

I was almost caught Many know that I am fortunate enough to receive medical at home (Following recent surgery) three times a week. There is no fixed schedule, so the time for the upcoming visit is set   the day before. At about 11:30 a,m,  I returned a voice message  from Jonathan RN about the Friday date  We set an afternoon   time A few hours later, Darlene RN  (I know her) called me about the same thing; to set a time for the Friday visit.   'Twas then that I saved my bacon.    John was a scammer, Of course he, on the pretext of getting necesary info,  might well have stolen some of my  confidential information I called him saying that I knew he was a scammer; that I would not be at home at the given time; and if he showed up I would notify the authorities PHEW .

Rudyard Kipling Giving your heart for a Dog to Tear ON THE DEATH OF A DOG

Image
  T here is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; And when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we a lways arrange for more? Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie— Perfect passion and worship fed By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Nevertheless it is hardly fair To risk your heart for a dog to tear. When the fourteen years which Nature permits Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits, And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs To lethal chambers or loaded guns, Then you will find—it’s your own affair— But … you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear. When the body that lived at your single will, With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!). When the spirit that answered your every mood Is gone—wherever it goes—for good, You will discover how much you care, And will give your heart to a dog to tear. We’ve sorrow enough in the n...
