I figured I would open up a break room even though it is Thursday.
The weather is finally starting to warm up a bit here in VT. It is a nice change from the 20 inches of snow we got two Saturdays ago.
Breakroom? Oh, you mean the broken break room! The DTR members appear to have set the brakes on this. Oliver, good for you for opening the breakroom this week.
Looks like spring may be arriving for some of you. Just saw a news report that said Alaska will be 40 degrees above normal. That's a lot! Still gorgeous weather down here in Paradise. Had a few breezy days, but still very nice. All the large jacaranda trees are in full bloom all around my city and those pretty violet flowers on trees and the violet carpet they lay on the ground are very pretty.
After five surgeries with four to try and repair the damage and infection from the first one, I am now moving towards a referral (its agreed upon just need the dang letter submitted) to the Mayo Clinic to end this merry go round.
This shituation has taken it’s toll on my family. I asked the medical folk here to stop treating the symptoms and ship me outta here to stop the cause of the infections and damage it is doing.
Recently several folks have come forward with some very welcomed help in many forms.
Very Humbling.
G'day from a warm Paradise. The weather lately has definitely been warmer than most springs. Many days are around 80 or even a tad above. Very nice in the shade due to the very low humidity, but the sun burns quickly. Need rain. The rainy season normally starts around the end of April. Just got back from a lovely Mexican lunch and am stuffed.
NJTman, nice pics. Poor Prius!
Scotty, nice that you can join in here. Which arm is damaged? Not your dominant arm I hope. In other words, can you write and type OK? Am positive that you can eat with either arm. Will pray that you can very soon be in the Mayo for a proper assessment. Both my wife and I for the last few years are seeing more and more evidence that the majority of doctors just treat symptoms with medication and very seldom even bother to look for a root cause, so consequently we have lost faith in doctors. Doctors are very good at patching folks up in an emergency and saving lives, but appear to be hopeless for heath maintenance. Hope that the Mayo can very quickly discover a root cause and can quickly rectify the problem without major surgery. Keep us posted please.
