Sorry I bothered you. I'll shut up now.

My husband is an idiot! Doc is going out of state for the holiday, so moved his appointment up a day rather than have a covering doc see him. This decision was made last Wednesday. I started growling at him to call the idiot home nurse ( I don't trust i can hold my temper) to arrange her visit for a time frame after 10 am. He finally called today. She was not happy with that idea as she had already set her schedule and we were in the 8 to 10 window. The two of them decided to make her apt @ 7:30. Doc is at 8:15. So, assuming twit nurse is on time, minimum 15 minutes for her to do her thing on the computer documenting the visit, another 10 or so to draw blood and change the dressing on the iv port. Counting on my fingers here, that takes us to 7:55 . Then at least 5 min for him to hop (on crutches, he is 0 weight bearing atm) out to the truck, 8 am. 15 minute drive to office. Another 5 to 10 for him to hop into the office. Just how am I supposed to get what adds up to an hours worth of stuff done in 45 minutes??? That is also the day the farrier is scheduled to shoe the horse, so my kid will be handling the barn stuff while I handle getting him everywhere he needs to be.

Yes! The twit from the home nurse service finally called to say between 9 and 10 am tomorrow. I will NOT be home when she comes!!! I admit I am being a tad selfish here but I really don't trust I can keep my mouth shut around her.

I am thinking that will be best for coming down, and up with one crutch and the very reinforced banister we beefed up when I had knee surgery a few years back. The landing @ the top would be difficult to get him back up on his feet . Ask how I learned THAT one!

I finally bought my first gift today. Shopping is difficult with him laid up and my daughter living with us again. Have to remember how to hide things without losing them again! Finally got a straight answer out of these two as to whether we are roasting a bird or prime rib for the holiday dinner. They voted beef. Now, I can handle getting the tree, and even haul it up the stairs to the family room. Doing that tomorrow ( since I have a chiropractic scheduled for tomorrow evening.) Timing is everything! If i do something stupid, my regular tune up is right there! The big question is how to get him up a full flight on the crutches. He is NOT what I call coordinated on them!

Try the hot chocolate with a tad (or more) of French Vanilla creamer! Was the perfect cure for the 4 ish inches of white stuff we got.

Did any one ever notice that the undesirable weather words frequently have four letters? I was always told "polite company" doesn't use four letter words. So, for your information there is currently cold white shit falling from the sky.

Unfortunately I am stuck with them. I have a call into both my primary and secondary insurance companies to confirm or refute what this dizzy bitch said yesterday that if I don't comply coverage will be reduced. Good! Don't cover the twits. Then they will go away! But we go thru a light ton of bandages a week, so I need to keep coverages at the max, at least till I cut all the red tape and get his temp disability income coming in. Right now we have been without a paycheck since early November. I'm not much of a cryer, but right now that's about all I want to do. I'm usually the get it done, what ever it takes one in the crowd. 15 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I dealt, got it done and have been pronounced cured. I have cried more in the last week than I did all thru surgery, chemo and radiation therapy. My plan for today is to avoid the whole game and stay out of the house till after the bitch has been and gone. I have sworn him to his best behaviors, that if he does something stupid while home alone and gets hurt I will beat him to death with his own crutch. If Wings reaches out for help with bail money, please be supportive and point her to a good bondsman.

OK, that is it! These home nurse support people can go fuck themselves sideways! My diabetic husband ignored a sore he developed on his foot resulting in losing 3 toes. Came home from hospital Thursday before Thanksgiving. Has a pic line thru which I administer IV antibiotic daily and clean and pack the wound daily as well. Home nurse service comes once a week to keep the Pic line functional and take blood work. Wound care center once a week for debridement and for Doc to monitor progress. Day after Thanksgiving I was told to expect a nurse to evaluate, rebandage and generally support. Sit around all day waiting, having turned down an invite to a friend's who offered her recliner for him and early dinner, giving me a majority of a day off. Nurse no showed, no call. Regular Tuesday nurse lectures me on the "proper" way to bandage a foot, informs me a wound care nurse will now be here 2x a week in addition to her and the regular trips to the doctor. Made it sound like I am not capable of doing a decent bandage. Mine are neat, sufficient to prevent seepage, and stay put. Hers had to be redone by bedtime. Told to expect a nurse Friday. Friday comes, no nurse, no phone call. This is the 2nd day wasted waiting on a no show nurse. About 3:30 pm I call the office to ask when this twit is going to show. Get told not scheduled till Saturday. I tell them this is rude, disrespectful, and just plain unprofessional. We tell them what to do with their wound care visit and I change the bandage. Set about our Saturday errands and the like, modified to allow for his current limitations. Get a call mid day. Wound care nurse is @ the house, where is he? I give them a not very polite earful about how they are supposed to be helping put our lives back together, not disrupting my schedule. I have a business to run. The least they can do is give me a clue when they will be here. Today we get a call apologizing profusely. I stress to the department manager expecting us to drop everything to suit them was not going to happen. I need sufficient notice of their planned visits to adjust my day accordingly. 8:45 pm, we get a terse phone call that the nurse will be here between 11 and 12 tomorrow. Not "does that work for you?" More like make it work. So, now I have to leave him here alone while I keep the business running, to "make it work". Any one need a steam generator? Got lots of steam coming out my ears.

Silly question time. is it unreasonable to lose one's temper when presented with blatant disrespect from someone who is totally incompetent?

Remember, you can always add layers. You can only take off so much before they either laugh or arrest you...or both!

Don't do that! You dont have enough time to do sheetrock repairs!

I can't do vaccines do to allergies, but I still don't want to shovel!

OK, I have a couple stupid questions for you. Today I received an Amazon gift catalog in the mail. 1) Why would an online shopping service send catalogs via snail mail? 2) What help is a bunch of pictures with no description, specs or prices? 3) WTF IS A CORDLESS JUMP ROPE???

There are no words that will make this better. Best I can offer are hugs and an ear if you need me. 💔

I'm not fond of the microwave for most cooking. While it heats things super fast, I think they cool just as fast. I do prefer it for corn on the cob and baking potatoes ans sweet potatoes. Half the time and does not heat up the kitchen in the summer.

You mean anyone other than you puts things WHERE THEY ACTUALLY BELONG?!?!? We moved in here 40 yrs ago next spring. Remodled the kitchen 35 yrs ago. Suddenly things that have lived in a cabinet for 35 yrs are wandering, and they both seem to think I know where they shoved it last!

I understand that it is probably ten times worse for her, but it sure turned our paperwork into a mess. Fortunately it was at the schooling show I work, and not the USEF level show. Mess up sanctioned paperwork and all sorts of people get pissed off.

Anyone interested, hit Facebook and pull up Sons of Legion. Indy group currently doing covers, but i think they are goung somewhere!

What makes a severely dyslexic person decide to become a horse show judge? For those who do not know, competitors are only known to a judge by their back numbers, no names, no horse names. Enter todays judge who wrote down numbers all screwy. Took us hours to sort out the results.

I've had more fun than i am allowed for one weekend, and its only friday!

You sure thats not a scene out of "Gremlins"?

No you're not

Ok my turn. I am a broken 65 yr old married 45 years ( yes to the same guy) and a mom of one. Some of you know her as she is also a member here, Winged Wolf. I am working on my fourth career as a small business owner transporting horses, although i have also moved a few cows, goats, pot bellied pigs, and one alpaca. Careers 2 thru 4 overlap in spots. Started with 20 yrs in QC/R&D for a refractory company. (High tech bricks to line steel furnaces and glass tanks). Next i did child care lunch hours and before and after school for about 15 yrs. Overlapping that when Wings asked for riding lessons I got sucked back into the horse world where i started teaching riding and eventually wound up barn manager. It became too much so I left child care to run the barn full time. Along the ride i bought my first trailer and LLC. Now that I am old and broken ( too many stupid horses in my past) I stepped back and focus on mt hauling business, which is up to 4 trailers and 4 drivers. I love to read, cook, and craft.
