As soon as I can reliably get up in a walker and go the
distance, I should be able to get out of here.
CY: That's good news.

I went to the physical terrorism department the other day
and got up in a walker then with a physical terrorist in
tow, I was able to shuffle down the hall to my room.
CY: Yep, the ambulatory shuffle is a good thing.

When she asked what the noise was, I answered,"My knees"
which sound like creaking floorboards.
CY: That's no good.

I got my friend Stinky to go by my pharmacy and pick up an
order for me which contained OTC Naproxen Sodium and extra
strength Acetaminophen. Of course it's contraband but after
taking one Naproxen Sodium and one Acetaminophen every 12
hours, I can move around so much easier and suffer from much
less pain because the inflammation of my joints has decreased.

CY: In my old tired body, generic naproxyn is useless. Name
brand Aleve works nicely. Please take it with food, it is
very highly stomach corrosive. Extra strength Acet is not
inflmation reducer, but does help with aches and pains. One
every 12 hours is a very light dose. Follow the label as max
dosage, acet is liver toxic.

I kept telling the medical staff that I needed an anti-
inflammatory but my begging fell on deaf ears so I had it
smuggled in.

CY: Hope that helps you get better.

I've learned some things since my hospital and nursing home stays.


#1,The human intestinal tract is indeed 30 feet long.


#2,A bedpan has a capacity of 10 pounds.
CY: And the staff doesn't want to get near your bedpan?

#3,It is very important to have a pair of one liter urinals.


#4,A long bamboo backscratcher is a vital necessity.
CY: That's for sure!

#5,Make sure the facility you wind up in has good free
WiFi Internet access.


#6,Make damn sure you know WTF are the medications being
given to you.
CY: In some states, it's your right to know.

#7,Have a good small lightweight laptop,(I have a 3lb Chromebook),
so you can research WTF those meds are that are being given to you.


#8, Have a good pair of large full ear cupping headphones
to plug into your laptop so you can hear the audio when
your deaf roommate is blasting the TV or someone leaves the
friggin door to your room open.
CY: Many patients have told me this. Also some
homes have night screamers.

#9, Be sure you know how to handle you banking and pay
your bills online.


#10,For your entertainment, get on Usenet and screw with
the trolls who are infesting the newsgroups. 8-)
CY: Best advice of all!
