My Warranty Ran Out...

The joke at my house is Lonny's warranty just ran out...lol.

Last month or so, I think I have been to the doctors more then I have in years, go figure. Started with one eye going black and white. Tends to freak you out a little when it happens. I figured I had some eye infection...little antibiotics and I'm ready to go. Boy was I wrong, ended up at a Pittsburgh doctor. Long story short...looks like Optic Neuritis (affects the nerve going from the eye to the brain). Just had the follow up appointment, I am healing well. If it happens again - I go back. I do have to go back in 6 months and have a follow up MRI...another expensive nap.

But now...they found a Kidney Stone. GREAT. I just had the CT Scan yesterday. I personally think - it is 2008. They surely can come up with something that tastes better then Ready-CAT. It was the worse tasting stuff I have ever tried to drink. I finished the bottle they gave me to drink - I thought I was in the clear, I got it all down. I got to the appointment - AND THEY HANDED ME MORE. I must have had a look on my face cause the woman said - I'm sorry, I know it's horrible.

So, I get it down too. I get taken into the CT Scan room. A really nice woman starts going over everything with me. Asks what surgeries I have had....I tell her everything including the Bladder Sling being put in AND the Bladder Sling Removal. So She tells me about reactions, assures me there is a doctor there for the just in case situations (Hives, heart attacks, stokes, etc). She moves on to telling me what I can expect once the start the IV. She starts with how I will get a warm sensation in the back of my mouth...ok, not bad. Then how it will feel like I peed myself....yes you read correctly. She continues...I stop her. She assures me that it is only a feeling. I reminded her of my surgeries...the bladder is NOT my healthiest organ. She laughed and reassured me. We started the scan and I heard this voice come over the room's PA System...we're starting the IV....I promise you won't pee your self and if you do I will buy you dinner.

I am proud to say...I had to buy MY OWN dinner....lol

Now...on to Kevin. The saying it's never to late...well, a 52 years old man can still get their wisdom teeth out. Kevin is having a problem on one side and now has to get it out. He goes next week. He doesn't think it'll bother him - But I think it will. I guess we'll see....
