Well, I finally have a chance to make a post. It has been a while, I know. My Aunt Alva Jo is in the hospital. She is expected to live only the next few months. She has Cirrhosis of the liver and her liver is shot. My mother flew up to Connecticut this past week to be with her. I pick my mother up today from the airport. We have been praying for my Aunt and will continue to do so.
At work I finally am moving from midnight shift to day shift after two and half long years. I start my new shift on Wednesday. Also, this month I am going on a mini vacation. I am heading to Tennessee looking at some retirement properties. I will post more about that later.
In closing, I hope everyone is doing great.

The doctor himself called me on Monday at 5:01 PM and said that the liver ultrasound came out abnormal and the radiologist recommends me having a MRI of the liver. On top of all that I have a polyp on my gallbladder. The doctor said he is not worried about the polyp on my gallbladder but will monitor it. He is sending me back for an ultrasound on the gallbladder in 3 months to make sure there is no change in size of the polyp.

Today I find out that my Aunt Alva Jo is in the hospital. We do not know why yet? I am trying to find out more information.

So far that is it.

Well, first of all, I like to say that I haven’t had a chance to work on the website yet. I have been busy today and haven’t been feeling well. I have had sinus problems. Second, I just got Verizon Fios (Fiber) today and so far I love it. The installation went great. The installation guy was great. The order processing was a mess. Verizon really needs to get their act together as far as the ordering.

On the bad news continues front. My $400 glasses have to go back. They have developed a wobble and have two little marks one on each lens. My work pair are in great condition and are very good. On the more bad news front I am going to have to purchase outright a new phone from Sprint. My brother ran over my dad’s phone.

Well, besides working overtime this weekend, I was able to watch a couple of DVD’s. I watched The Aviator, which I gave 2 stars out 5, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, 3.5 out of 5 starts, cellular 5 out of 5 stars and Assault on Precinct 13, 4 out of 5 stars. Other than that I have my liver exam stuff on Thursday Morning and I am looking forwarded to the Summer being over. Also, I hopefully will be switching from midnight shift to day shift at work. I am also making plans to Disney World in September on my days off.

I finally got my telephone problems worked out. On July 5, 2005 probably a whole new round of telephone problems will begin as I reordered the Fios (Fiber internet). Second, thing of good news, I got my second blood test results back. No hepatitis B or C and my Iron levels are in the acceptable range. In fact, just as I told them, I have been inoculated against Hepatitis B. I go for the liver work on Thursday Morning. Third thing of good news got my new glasses back with the proper prescription so now I can get and have no sickness when looking down. This month just may end on a great note.

I can not wait for this month to be over. I am sick and tired of all this bad news. Today, I wait all day for the Verizon worker to get to the house to install mine and my dad’s new Fiber connection. We are supposed to get 2 separate connections. Well, the guy shows up at 4:30 PM and acts like he doesn’t want to really install the fiber because it is going to take him at least to 7:00 to 8:00 PM. Second of all he tells me that he is going to only install 1 line. I tell him no he has a work order to install 2 separate lines. He tells me that this is impossible. They only dropped one line from the box to the house. So the house can only have 1 data line. I tell him nope that was not explained to us and we were getting to separate lines. So, I tell him to forget it. I call Verizon and they give me some lame excuse. So, I told them to cancel the order. They have me so mad right now. I am contemplating dropping them all together and just use my Sprint Cell phone all the time and getting cable for my internet access. This would save me alot of money.
Second thing that ticked me off today. I need to get a ultrasound of my liver so I call a couple of places. The first lady was extremely rude. I call another they were helpful, but ultimately I got sent to a voicemail. So, I leave a message and as of yet have not received a telephone call back. So, I am going to try Friday and if I don’t get anyone. I am calling my doctor and tell his office to set it up.
Is everybody as tired of incompetency as me? I know that people do not know everything. If the don’t know, just say it. If the don’t know, but will check with somebody do it. When I am at work, I tell people straight out, Sir or ma’am, I don’t know. But, I will check for you or you might check with so and so or even, I am sorry this is not going to help you, but I don’t know and I don’t want to give you any bad information.

Well, I finally got my new glasses. I will turn on the web cam next week on my days off for the World to see!!!!!

Well, I went in today and had my yearly physical. The checkup minus lab work went great. The doctor said only without the lab results yet I need to lose weight. Other than that he would have to wait for the lab work. However, I am headed for blood pressure and possibly cholesterol medicine if I do not lose weight based on last years blood result. I call back in a week to find out the blood work (lab) results.

I saw Star Wars Episode III on Thursday, May 19, 2005 and it was awesome. Friends and me are thinking of going again to see it at an IMAX Theater. I also found the time to do a minor update on the website, hope you find it interesting. This month is going to be a little hectic. Hope everyone stays safe and see you all later.
