So what about yesterday’s VA trip? Well, I’ll tell ya’…
I went down to see my provider whom I call young Dr. Young. He’s an intern from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center just like all our other interns we have at the VA which in this case means a youngish married male with the perpetual smile plastered across [...]
For the longest time now I have been taking a medication called Nortriptyline which, if taken at normal dosages (75mg to 125mg), is used as an anti-depressant. However, when taken at very low dosages (10mg) it becomes a very effective pain killer for those who suffer from chronic pain–like me. Unfortunately as time went on [...]
I’m off to the quilt shop again this morning since with the coming of Eastern Daylight Time this year also comes the start of Laurie’s busy season which usually runs from about this time of the year to January 1st of next year.

…it does not mix with blogging.
Instead of writing up some wonderfully [...]
There are times when I find that when searching for something to write about, my mind (such as it is) often refuses to give up the goods. This surprises me since I’ve always excelled at such worthwhile pursuits as daydreaming and letting my mind wander off on imaginative adventures, usually when I’m supposed to be [...]
A regularly scheduled trip to the VA has come to have a double purpose. To make sure that the doctors involved with me understand that there will be no more changing my meds around. Period!
On my last trip, my regular doctor decided that my BP was still too high and thus doubled the dosage of [...]
Laurie and I took a walk down by the waterfront this evening, the sky was absolutely beautiful with the mountains on either side of the lake (nearly 30 miles long extending into Canada) against the backdrop of all those wonderful clouds. This was sure to make some real nice shots.
So where’s the camera?
Of course after we [...]
