D D Dribble ( excuse the pun )

Another miserable nights sleep with the pain in my right arm waking me. sigh!
Climbed out of bed at 4 a.m.
About NOW I'd welcome the anesthesia for a GOOD SLEEP.
Time to ask my new Primary doctor to proceed with an xray request and a cortisone injection.

 ;0)  Should have bought size 9 undies. Granted I can get into them....BUT!
MUST,MUST cut the inside tag off my shorts. Am not use to this thing scratching my skin now rhat it's EXPOSED.                             DONE :0)

Hubby's hearing is a JOKE. I shit you not!
He misses most of a sentence and hears a word or two.
Take for instance yesterday while it's still fresh in my memory. Sonny and I were talking just feet away from him and all he heard was the word Walmart. "You going to Walmart now", he asked me.
We weren't talking of going there...it was something that could be picked up there.
The other day he was on the phone with his sister Ann and kept telling her they had a bad connection.
DIL Deb picked up a second phone and could hear their voices plainly,  but he kept telling his sister her voice was fading in and out and he couldn't understand what she was trying to tell him.
I'll call you another day he told her. We kept telling him the lines were fine. He just didn't understand us.
We were all sitting back shaking our heads. 
DIL Deb tried again to tell him it was his hearing.  sigh!
Later on grand daughter Corinne came in with her boyfriend Brian and asked if her mom was home. Told her no and I asked her if she was home to get ready for work.  The answer was yes.
Again hubby is feet away from us facing the TV. Minutes go by and he says to me... "Is someone home? I hear voices in the other room."  It was Corinne and Brian after they left the kitchen/familyroom area for another part of the house. Asked him if he didn't hear me talking to them minutes ago. That would be...a no.
These ceilings are HIGH and voices echo.
He accuses us of mumbling and me of yelling. 
Oh well...if that's the only thing I had to gripe about, I'd be okay. ;0) MAYBE!
   He is having more of those episodes of numbness. It began in his hand as I was getting him into the shower yesterday.  He called it a seizure. I said they say it isn't a seizure. It has to do with your spine problems. " I don't know about that", he said. 
I continued with his shower and after I pulled his chair out he said the numbness was just leaving his hand. 
I am not concerned like I would be if it was a brain problem instead of a nerve problem.
Of course he is worried. Don't blame him for that.
I turned the ceiling vent on in the bathroom when I showered him. It's not a fan. It's an exhaust fan.
He complained that it is cool enough in there. I came right back at him and told him it's cool when all you do is sit on your ass in here.. :0)   Case Closed! I shit you not!
It's FUN getting old. Good for laughs....... us older people are. ;0)
    After a good day of eating healthy we were taken out to the FOE (assuming Fraternity of Eagles )  for all the fish you can eat. That's a joke in itself. You get your first plate, forty minutes goes by before you get your second and then it's a basket with five pieces of fish. All well and good if only one person had ordered the All You Can Eat, BUT it was three of us. DIL Deb had a bacon cheese burger.
Apologies....only one fryolator working. Hubby said he was there three years ago with Sonny and the excuse was there was only one person cooking.
The hush puppies will be my downfall this week. sigh! LEFT the fries on my plate. Yay me!
The two piece band was good .The place was busy with members and guests. Sonny is a member. Lots of people got up to dance the Oldies but Goodies. :0)
Once home DIL Deb showered to get the cigarette smell off herself.
Did enjoy being out, if I do say so myself.  Would I go again...for the fish, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... it wasn't that good. If hubby could still dance........ Hell YES!
 He once was a HELLOFA  dancer, whereas I was a late bloomer on the dancing scene.

For the record....as of  two weeks ago hubby has refused to take his Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg. He pisses enough without it he says and is fed up with waking numerous times during the night and also making many bathroom trips during the day.
I do hear him urinating in his urinal that I empty in the morning during the night.... S T I L L.
Appears to me his bladder is working the same with or without, BUT it was RX'd for a reason me thinks!!!!!!
Yesterday when Arvin the P.T. person took his B/P it was 122/60.
Hubby felt dizzy this morning and has gone back to bed. I used the wrist B/P monitor and got a reading of 152/76. 
The past two days he has wanted me to leave the bedroom door open when I am out of the room so I can hear him if he calls out to me. 
Sigh! Wonder what's up with this.
Yesterday he was telling me to stop giving him the cholestrol pill as in his minds eye that is causing particals to break off in his arteries and that is what is causing his SEIZURES.  He has stopped taking that in the past he said and had NO SEIZURES during that time.
I'll add my two cents worth here....it's all B.S. He gets something into his head and there is no changing his mind. sigh! Again I explained this numbness is coming from a pinched nerve, not an artery the doctors say now.
I gave it to him anyway last night...he took it.....THIS TIME. 

Decided to shake my breakfast up. New choice was 2 Eggo plain waffles 2 Points each with Smuckers sugar free breakfast syrup over them. 1/4 cup = 1 Point. Delicious syrup. I could not dicern that it was sugar free. :0) Total 5 Points.  I skipped using any type of butter.
Need to get myW.W. calculator out in the grocery store and check the different spreads out.
 For tonight's supper I'm making a meatloaf.....if I have all the ingredients. The carrots I cook will be fine, it's the potatoes that I love dearly that I need to refresh my memory on Points  in one of my WW.books.
Potatoes and Pasta dishes ....all types, all ways they can be prepared... are my Nemisis.  I shit you not!

One last DRIBBLE before I put my hands somewhere other than on a keyboard.
The Pea I've mentioned in here.
IT IS SHE that repeatedly told me I should write a BOOK when we emailed each other back and forth, back and forth ( same old shit, just a different day on my part) and the rest is HISTORY!
 I FINALLY took her word/advise and it is SHE that is responsible for ALL THAT I AM or COULD BE!  I shit you not!  LMFAO
We met in an online game ( Pogo ) some years back now and CLICKED. ;0)
She has never written a blog as far as I know.....BUT SHOULD !!! She has a QUICK WIT!
Pea is a silent reader as well as another personal friend Barb ( we go way back to the Ex SIL from Hell days and she knows THAT FAMILY well.
They BOTH have loaned me their ears and eyes when I needed them. Thank you.
There came a time when I decided they needed a break.... soooooooooooooooooo, Here I Am!
You have Pea to thank or cuss at ;0) Luv ya Pea.

It's nearing 9 a.m. Hubby is sleeping. My son is sprawled out on a chaise lounge working a crossword and a Suduko puzzle in todays newspaper snd DIL Deb is outside clipping dead stuff off her plants and is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her new company car.
At any time that truck could pull up to her door. :0)
Hubby has awoken.
  Oh and for those that wondered about Logan's new pups choice for a name......WISH it was more insightful, BUT he likes MONEY/CASH, he said when I inquired.
Looks like he has some of the EX SIL from Hell's genes.  He claimed he would be a MILLIONAIRE by the time he was forty. 
Didn't happen! He was stealing left and right as his parents manager in their convenience store until he was CAUGHT giving Pay Outs with those gaming machines.  Poor baby. GAG!
They had to LET HIM GO as their manager and he could not work there in any job description in order for his parents to get thier lottery license back. They LIED....(wonder wehere he gets it from.)
He worked under the table for them afterwards. Hell ...laws are made to be broken ... is one of his mottos.
Not hard to figure out why he went from wanting to be an attorney that helps other dads that are being screwed by the court system out ( cough,cough)  to become a Criminal Attorney.

Now hubby and I are going round and round. He has the diarreah again.
What did I give him he shouldn't have he asked. Gimmee a break!
He AGAIN accused me in so many words of slipping him his RX'd Hydrochlorathiazide pill as all he does is PISS he says. Well, he does pee often, but I swear I DID NOT or WOULD NOT do that to him and I told him so.
I also let him know he has never been tested and DX'd with Lactose Intollerance.
The V.A. doctors just took his word. He insisted he had a blood test for it.
AHA! Caught him.... you are given a drink HIGH in Lactose and given breath tests at certain intervals for the amount of hydrogen in your breath.
IF anything, I would say he has Irritable Bowel Syndrome. There's a TEST for that too!
Once home and at his next Primary doctor visit May 12th,  I WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
 I shit you not!

That;s All Folks!
