It still cain't be fixed......maybe.

First off....my Weber grill issue. This is probly the best portable grill I ever had in my life. Well, my "jet powered" grill was great too, but it's been long gone. The Weber is great for almost anything I cook.....until I throws some chicken on there. Then all hell breaks loose. Burns the skin slap to charcoal briquettes an' nobody eats charcoal briquettes. So....the damn thing burns too hot (325 to 350 degs) on the lowest setting. The grate is still not cured all the way....like a cast iron skillet. That why stuff sticks I betcha a dollar. Anyways, when I get a chance, I'll take a look see bout installing a deflector.

Ok, "needle" doctor is behind me. He's stick'n to his story....."your back cain't be fixed". That was a huge let down. But he did say...."I can give you some shots". A asked him bout them shots...."will they kill the pain"? His answer was "NO". I will still feel pain. That's when I tole him I want to see a surgeon. Then he proceded to 'splain to me that even surgery could cause more injury....an' possibly more pain an' future surgeries. An appointment was made. Aug. 15th. That's a freak'n month away. I'm [this] close to throw'n in the towel an' say'n "to hell with it".

Back at "da house". Robert is on the roof work'n on the bedroom a/c. There are no oilers on the motor...so he is do'n a Billy Bob modification. Poke'n a freak'n hole in the bearing wick doo dads on the ends of the motor. Got a couple fingers crossed in hopes he does it the same way his daddy does. Put some oil in them holes an' put it all back together. Yeee haa....gonna check that off'n the "fix it" list.

Two great big drawers in the bedroom is in need of attention. Come off the drawer guides.....one bended. As per my plans (a drawing), me an' Robert will tackle that job shortly. Fix it up like brand spank'n new. In my case, better than what the dad gum coach manufacturer did. They cheap....don't do nuttin right to last over the first warranty year. Yeee haa....then we can mark that job off'n the "fix it" list". "No Robert, do it like your daddy said....sheesh!". I love supervis'n.  

Ok....Robert is in need of help. I'll talk to you folks later.....

  2. You've come this far that I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. See the surgeon and decide if you like him and what he has to tell you. You knew all along this needle doctor wasn't going to fix you up, but I hope you try the surgeon. Good luck.

  3. Half the trick with medicine is finding the right doctor. After that things go much smoother. I hope this surgeon turns out to be the right doctor for you.

  4. One month is not a long wait in a Canadian's mind. Call the MD's office and ask to be put on a cancellation list. Bet you get in much faster.

  5. Well that certainly sucks about your back news. Hopefully there will be some answers on the 15th of August.

  6. Brian Sinclair: Man who died after 34-hour Winnipeg hospital wait was assumed to be ‘sleeping it off’ after vomiting
    A man who died during a 34-hour wait in a hospital emergency room vomited on the floor during his final hours, but a security guard on duty said he assumed Brian Sinclair was intoxicated and “sleeping it off.”
    my cousin needed a quadruple heart by pass in canada ,he was put on a 10 month waiting list . the date came and went because he was too skeered so he was put on a other waiting list 18 months more . well he was coming down to spend the winter to the rio grande valley (mercedes tx ) where he owned a rv trailer in an rv park .he made it from winnipeg ( lac du bonnet mb. ) to kansas city ,where he was taken to emergency hospital and then he received a quintuple heart by-pass. so it is in-fact true that if you were borned in canada and you are a resident all your medical attentions are free ,the only thing about that is canada hopes to see you dead before they going to throw away all that moneys. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

    1. Louie, I've heard and read negative remarks about Canada's health care system but a blogger friend, native of Canadian, praises it. I'm thinking he probably has no serious health issues, so can wait. for that "long-time-in-the-future" appointment..

      I'm sure it is going to get worse here in the US as time goes by.
      I'm waiting to hear from you. since my suggestionl.

  8. If that surgeon, when you see him, also tells you it can't be fixed that just means he is afaid that you will sue him for malpractice. Go find you another surgeon and if he tells you the same thing it will be for the same reason.
    Then go to a surgeon in Mexico and tell him you want surgery on your back and you will get it. They do what you want down there and don't worry none about malpractice. They give the patient what they want. So, try two US surgeons and then go to Mexico and Get 'er Done.
