Good morning big Blue
We have a beautiful morning with a predicted high in the mid 50's. Believe it or not, I may try to finish mowing the grass that didn't het done before it got too wet.
Tom, I wouldn't trust that doctor even the least little bit and I agree you should find another immediately. I have been lucky with the specialists I have had to see but PCP's are another story. When I first retired I had the best PCP I had had in a long time. unfortunately he was young enough to move on to an area where he could get paid what he was worth. I stayed with the same practice and his replacement was a nurse practitioner. He was Ok but after a couple years the practice was sold and the first time I visited the blood draw payment from my insurance co was denied. It turned out the old practice was billing using the owner doctors name the new owners sent the bill min in the NP's name and after running it down we discovered they had never transferred his license to Ohio. I didn't care for the new company so I went else where and lucked out with a real dandy. My BP was 124/79 and he spent 5 minutes telling me how I was at risk for a stroke. I moved on. Now I have a PCP that looks so young I would have thought she couldn't buy alcoholic beverages, but if I have an appointment at 9AM I am in her exam room having my vitals taken and she is in within 5 minutes. My first visit she spent almost an hour just getting to know me and finding out if I had any problems. She is the most caring doctor I have had in 50 years. So don't be afraid to shop around. My prayers continue for you, your family and your wife.
I worked in the train room for about 2 hours last night. I made a couple height gauge and repaired a couple cars that had minor defects. tonight I need to put my wifi receiver in a high place and see if I can hide it somewhat. I can use it to run my trains with my tablet, laptop or my android phone and since I have 3 old phones I retired I have 3 more wireless throttles. Now all I need is a few guys to come for an operating session.
A good day for everyone.
Cheers
Charlie
