May I suggest that DPEs are also Flight Instructors. Call all of those who are on your list and explain that your solo endorsement has expired and you need (x) hours of instruction before you can take a checkride and that you have been ready for quite some time. Then ask the DPE to instruct...

Have you decided when or where yet? Hubby and I decided to give Oshkosh a pass this year because of: 1) Sleeping in a tent has lost its allure at our age - don't know if we can handle it 2) Walking all day, 3 days, in the heat or pouring rain has lost its allure - ditto 3) It's too late to...

How horrible for you. Is he OK now?

Chuckle. Next stop, the animal hospital. :eek::(

The technician who finally got the IV started, in the back of my hand, was the CT technician. Two others were unable to get it started and they couldn't get an RN to come do it. That CT technician spent at least 20 minutes looking for a good vein before sticking me. He said he'd get an...

This is done in a lab at the hospital or the lab associated with the Cancer Center. As I mentioned, there is never a problem with the Cancer Center. Cancer has been ruled out as a problem and my insurance won't pay for them to do the tests any more. But, the cancer center doctor is still...

They tell me that I must have the contrast. For a while I was able to avoid the contrast because of poor kidney function, but now they are insisting on it and then telling me to drink lots of water after the test. I feel so sick for a couple of days afterward just because of the contrast.

How do you have the mental power to be so assertive after you've gone without food all morning and then downed a couple of bottles of contrast that causes your bowels to move every few minutes? I'm not trying to be flip, just remembering about the state I was in at the time.

I like that.

I try to relax, too. OK, next time I'll use tension. Thanks.

Hubby was there, but they told him to sit in the waiting room wondering why an IV was taking an hour. Now I know to have him be more proactive if it takes more than a few minutes.

I like this idea the best. To be honest, I've shown a huge bruise from a blood draw to my doctor in the past and he said it is unacceptable. But then, it has happened again. I'll be sure to bring it up again tomorrow when I see him. So, I'll tell the doctor to order their best person to start...

Good idea, but I hate ultrasound, too. The places I go always have ultrasound available.

I get my lab work done at several different hospitals. I'm always seen by someone new. The best are at the Cancer Institute, but my insurance won't pay to have the CTs or procedures done there. I'll see my doctor at the Cancer Center tomorrow and tell him about the problems. BTW, I don't...

I was hospitalized a few months ago and was on an IV drip of fluids. As well, I had a CT scan with contrast administered by IV. Now, nurses have had problems with getting a good vein for about 25 years (I'm 75 now) and more and more frequently they cannot get a good flow from my elbow and...

It depends upon how cataracts develop in each eye. In my case, I had cataracts removed from both eyes, two weeks apart because the cataracts had developed to a pretty much parallel degree. These procedures were true surgery, with an incision made in my eye, the natural lens removed, a new...

I have the feeling that you are criticizing me for delaying the procedure. I was making decisions in conjunction with my doctors. They never told me that I would go from an irritating eye strain to virtual debilitation within a month. Certainly, if they had suggested I would be blind within...

I CAN SEE!!
