Good evening folks
Checking in late per usual for the last few weeks.
Took the wife to the pulmonary doctor. Visit was annoying to say the least. He was more worried about the sleep apnea than the blood clot in the lung. My wife almost reminded him that he missed the blood clot blaming her breathing problems on her weight. Both of us were uncomfortable in his office as it violated a bunch of covid protocols. Everyone was masked but the waiting area was packed with no social distancing. Got the feeling he is one of those doctors more interested in the money that comes in from seeing patients than actually treating them. He is one of the doctors that has appointments scheduled every ten minutes. On top of it he informed my wife that he didn’t sign the authorization for the CPAC until late October which was over a month from when the machine was ordered. When I spoke with the durable medical supplier, and when they said they were waiting for authorization I thought they were talking about the insurance not the doctor. His in action basically added an additional six weeks to a 3-month waiting time to get a CPAC. Should have gotten the machine this month. We are looking at February according to the supplier. Looks like we will be looking for a new pulmonologist/sleep specialist. Sorry for the rant.
I had a productive weekend. We got the Christmas tree up and decorated. The wife felt well enough to help and hung about half the balls herself. We had a major snafu, three light sets went poof during their storage time. I went looking for replacements but could not find any multicolor sets anywhere. We had to take the only multicolor set we had off a tree outside and use it on the Christmas tree.
I finished ballasting the track in the passenger station area and painted the foundations for the station platforms. I also glued them down.
Next is working on scenery around the platforms and doing the foundation for the station building and surrounding streets and parking areas.
I hope everybody has a good evening.
