The Union dilemma

Liz sent me some pictures; they depict union workers picketing outside. The location is where Liz’s office will be shortly. She has been told that there are three dates set for contracts to be signed, if the unions decide to wait until the last date before finalizing the contract, it could take until august for matters to be settled. Therefore, Liz may be living with her bags packed – no vacation allowed until a new contract is signed or until the entire union walks out 150,000 and then she flights to Detroit to go out and ride in trucks that fix ATT’s phone problems. The entire situation has her very upset and very mad. It feels like she has enlisted into the armed forces.

Fat Tuesday

I did discuss yesterday Bio-identical hormone replacement. I know what the frack does that have to do with me? If the doctors we visit are not knowledgeable, how can they give us the proper care? I remember when Brian was 10 years old and we went to an ENT doctor to have the inside of his nose cauterized, the doctor said that he read that Tourette Syndrome was a disorder but had no idea what it entailed. This was not the only doctor that did not know about T.S. so what can you do, just go along, and hope that you fall into the care of a “good” doctor. It just makes me so mad; I am tired of doing all the work for my health care. It might be that my pain shapes so much, how I view the world. It is just so frustrating. I did explain to my doctor about the Bio-identical hormones and gave him the name of the women leading the charge. I will ask him again when I see him for my yearly physical. I will also keep my eye open for a new doctor with more up to date skills. Being my doctor is a service like every other service and if someone can do a better job and care I will change doctors.
Liz is home… she did it; she took the 24’ ladder off the truck, carried it to the pole on her shoulder, secured it to the phone pole, and then climbed the ladder and the pole to the TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Liz, I don’t know anyone except “crazy” Jenni who would do that, so great job Liz.
I also made delicious hot cross buns for FAT TUESDAY.

Shout out to Liz

Liz is in Ohio practicing her "splitter" job in Cleveland- Ohio for two days. Just want to give her a shout out- hello Liz if you are checking on the computer, hope it is not too bad for you and that the weather is cooperating- safe flight home. Please email or call when you get home.
Brian signed the lease for his newest studio, so he will be moving soon.
Gary had a colonoscopy and I got the results of my bone density test. Having a colonoscopy is a good thing and everyone over 55 should have it! The prep is a pain in the a_ _ but it last one evening so you can live through that and my test results came back OK. I am starting P.T. on Wednesday hope it helps the pain. Talked with Dr Stoner about Bio-identical hormones- it is all the rage on Oprah, hear is the web site to check it out for yourself- http://www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/200902_omag_menopause_hormone_therapy/1
Dr Stoner said that he has never heard of Bio-identical hormones and noone in the Geisinger OBGYN staff has heard of it either. It is very frustrating and I will continue this topic tomorrow.
