Well things are going just as exciting around here as usual. My wife and I are both bothering doctors or should I say they are bothering us? Her primary care doctor keeps writing up orders for weird tests. My wife's foot surgeon just seems so 'sometime' in the future. He seems like a really nice guy but he keeps going somewhere else. The April surgery is now more like a June surgery but that isn't even set up so it could be August if things keep sliding away.
Back in April my doctor asked for a blood test and found my platelets were low: they should be around 150K and were measured as 11K. But no one around here wanted to do anything about it. Then a week or so ago they thought about it again and sent me back to the ER. The ER decided they didn't have any specialist who could look at me so they sent me to Las Vegas. They kept me for about 24 hours, took at least 15 or 20 blood samples and told me I could go home. Grrr! At least I got a couple prescriptions this time. We'll see how all this works out. The screwy thing is that I feel just fine. But the doctors keep saying I could die at any moment.
Other than all the medical crap it's being a typical spring. One day 4 mph (6 kph) breeze and the next a 24 mph (38 kph) breeze. Fun in the desert doesn't always mean wearing shorts! Our house is turning 20 years old this year and when we get those 45 mph (72 kph) gusts it really shakes the windows! But, no, we aren't buying new windows!
The new cable internet system is supposed to be installed tomorrow. I have to admit to looking forward to that if only for the less 'twitchy' system. Well, let's hope it's an improvement! When some idiot takes out a telephone pole we might be out for a couple of days.
That's all the news fit to print. My latest photos are just dull so I won't inflict them on you. Take care and stay away from all those sick people!
