Well, I am off until next Monday night. I am going to recharge my batteries. I have updated the website again. I hope y’all enjoy!
Henry is doing great just for everyone’s information.
Friends from my old job no longer friends with very few exceptions. Why people want to start trouble and you don’t even work for that old company I have no idea.
Ok, Some new things on the web site. Added a new theme, reinstated the My Calendar page and other things. I have more web space too. Verizon finally lets you expand your web space, for an additional price. But, that price is not too bad. I have 110 megs of space for $6.95 a month. Will be adding more stuff in the future. I go back to work today. I work all weekend :(
If you find anything wrong with the web site, I had to republish the whole thing after I upgraded the space, let me know. Take care everyone.
Well, I want to update my website but Verizon is having trouble. Geez, what’s up with that I have been trying all day.
Another day off. Wow I am getting too lazy. Nah, actually I have had a touch of insomnia lately. Hopefully, it will pass as I finally get used to midnight shift work.
Well, I was absolutely lazy today. I have a long weekend starting Friday night at 6 PM. Henry is doing great and I am glad we are not in Hurricane Isabel’s path.
As promised next weekend will work on updating website. The webcam is different story. The program I use to upload the pictures is not functioning properly and I cannot seem to find a fix. So, may have to look for another program. See everyone later.
Ok today I am really ticked off. First off all I had to work 3 and a half overs of overtime today. Second, when I was trying to sleep my Doctor calls with the results of my CT Scan of my sinuses. The results everything looks normal and sees no problems. Well why do I still feel lousy and I KNOW FOR A FACT IT IS MY SINUSES. He is referring me back to my Allergists and when I go we are going to have a nice long long long talk. If I take a sudafed my sinus headache goes away. Now if it is not my sinus causing the problem way does this help. Why do I have the constant drainage in the back of my throat or the stuffiness of my nose another. Why? Why? Why? Doctors are not that educated in my opinion. I think they guess most of the time.
On a better note Henry is doing great. His left eye is dying but he is no longer in pain and seems to be adjusting to just using his right eye.
Well, I have to work this weekend I hope it is not like the last weekend I had to work. I need a break.
Ok this is the first weekend I have had off in 2 weeks. I have enjoyed it. Henry is doing well. He is too cute. He is trying to be so brave about seeing and you can tell he is blind on that left side. He always turns right to meet someone now. I have picked my fall lineup television shows I will listed them on my website sometime this month. Some have already begun. Well, this is it for now back to work tomorrow. Not to be lazy anymore.
Henry Vet Update: Henry had his eye surgery procedure today. The left eye had a pressure of 41 after the procedure 10 and the left eye will be dead in about 3 weeks. The doctor said the right eye is doing great and should have no future problems. So I think I made the right decision.
I had a CT scan of my sinuses today. The results will be sent to my primary doctor. They better find something (bad that is) I am tired of having these sinues problems. I will be glad to have another sinues surgery. I always feel 100 percent better after having sinues surgery and it usually last for a year or more.
I worked from 6PM to 6AM from Thursday night to Friday morning and then was on the go until about 8 PM Friday when I finally got some rest. I woke up about 12:30 AM Saturday Morning. I feel a little rested but probably will go back to sleep. Not this week but probably around the 26th of the Month I will probably see about updating the website. The Webcam however, will probably be offline indefinitely. That is all for now. Take care everyone.
Henry Eye Vet Update: I took Henry to the Eye Vet yesterday for a check up to make sure the pressure was staying down still. Well, no it was back up in the 40’s. So they medicine worked for a while. I have come to the hard conclusion that I am going to have to a procedure done just to his left eye that would basically kill that eye. That way he is in no pain. He will be blind in that eye but will not be in pain and not have to take medicine that is not working. I can tell when the eye bothers him he whines. The other alternative was to try a procedure that saves the eye. However, it is not guarantee to work and stick and it costs $1500 and up depending on how long he has to stay at the Vets. Usually it is 3 days. But, again no guarantee. Also, the Vet is unsure if he has lost any vision and is just see shadows in that eye. They have no way of telling if he has lost vision. The other procedure to kill the eye takes only a few minutes is not that invasive and will take about a couple weeks to kill the eye. Henry would only be on medication to help comfort the eye until it dies. This procedure costs $650 and is guarantee to end the pain. He will still have the right eye and the pressures in that eye have remained low and the right eye did not have complications. The left eye did and has had all bad things happened to it. The right eye was quite healthy when the cataract was removed and the cataract was very small in that eye. So, he will have one good eye. I think I am going have to do the least costly and ultimately the best thing for him.
I saw a completed blind dog at the eye Vet the other day and he got around pretty good. Henry wont be completely blind just in the left eye. I hope he can forgive me for doing this but I think it will be the best for him in the long run.
On the work front. I started with a new team and I don’t know anybody on it. The same nice enough but would prefer to work with people I know. We will see how it works out. Hopefully, a couple of friends of mine will end up on the same team and this would make it more tolerable. Also, at least on this new team I will have all major holidays off this year like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Well, I will not be working 5 days straight. I was able to get Sunday night off. So, back to work Monday night.
Latest Update on Henry: I took him to the eye Vet today. Normal pressure in the eye should not be more than 20-22 according to the doctor. Last Saturday it was 50 in the left eye. Today in both eyes 4 so they need medication works. He has another appointment next week to check his pressure again and if it is still good they will reduce some to the medication he is on.
My new job is great! The only thing that is bad is the are transferring me to another shift. They are short handed on a particular shift so I am transferred as of Monday. The bad thing is I have to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. So I probably won’t be blogging for a week or two.
Update on Henry: The new medication seems to be working. He is keeping his left eye open and the cloudiness is gone. I think I might have advert a hard decision for a while.
On a lighter note. I received an e-mail, via Classmates.com, from an old high school friend that I haven’t seen in a long time. That was a nice suprise. It will be 20 years since I graduated from high school in 4 more years. Time flies. It doesn’t seem like that many years.
Well, I took Henry to the Eye Vet. today. The verdict….Henry has glaucoma in his left eye. His pressure should be in the mid teens or low 20’s but his is 50. I have some tough decisions to make if the 3 new medications I have to use on him do not work. Today’s visit $192.00.
Well, I am finally getting some days off. I had Henry groomed today. I also have to take him to the eye Vet tomorrow. He is having trouble with his left eye. Hopefully, it is nothing. I will let everyone know.
Latest News: It’s official I am done with my training and now onto the meat and potatoes of the job. My supervision approved me to work on my own today.
Raining right now and it is making me sleepy. Henry is doing good and I off to play a game. Take care to everyone.
Sorry I have not blogged in a long time or update the web site. I have been very busy at my new job. I think the craziness should slow down and hopefully stop in the next couple of weeks.
Henry is doing great. I have to get him groomed. I will probably take him this Friday.
My sinus infection is slowly going away I have to take the antibiotics for another several weeks.
My on the job training is almost done. I have collected almost 30 hours of overtime since I started this new job.
Well, hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will be able to update the website. Take care to everyone.
Went to the doctor today. I was right a full blown sinus infection. The doctor is trying a different strategy. I will be on an antibiotic for 6 weeks to see if the infection will be knocked out and stay out. I hope so. I am tired so I am going to sleep early tonight. Might try to update my website this weekend. We will see.
Hey everyone! So, I have not blogged in a long time. Things are very busy at work now. I am getting close to my on the job training period. I should be finished the first week of September if everything goes well. I have had 4 trainers before the one I have now and they were all excellent. The one I have now is great he is younger than me but knows what he is doing. He will probably be one of my supervisors in the future.
On the health front I have to make an appointment. I think I am coming down with another sinus infection. I don’t really think I “fully” recovered from my last one. Doctors hate giving out antibiotics anymore. I think if they put me on one for 2 months. I would be definitely cured for a while or at least until the next cold. I also need to go back to Doctor Anglin my eye doctor to have my pressure checked. She was a little concerned with it last time and wanted me to have it re-checked in six months. Well, it is six months. So, I guess I will make an appointment with the doctor in the next couple of weeks and get the sinus infection and then see if he will give me a referral to her so I don’t have to pay for it.
Well, this has been a long post. I will be off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, I have been invited to a birthday party so I will be out at the birthday party on Saturday.
MY DSL is back up and running. Hurrah!! Now, I just have to get everything set back up. I go back to work tomorrow and Thursday. So, I will finish everything up on Friday.
