Refrigerator not working again

Ouch, that's a lot of water. And fluids. After chugging two liters of mean green caffeine, know what I mean, bet that affected the rest of your day?

Hell, I did that last week, even with a double-dose of the locals- he stuck the probe in, and I about came off the chair. Idiot kept asking me 'do you feel pain, or just pressure?' After I explained to him the lack of a difference, he got out the needle again. Took me a good ten minutes to convince him to give me a prescription for something to get through the next 48 hours- I had to explain to him in very clinical terms why I couldn't take OTC NSAIDs any more, and how they made my face swell up. Damn DEA and AMA have gotten all medical practitioners so scared of being labeled 'drug addiction enablers', that you have to fight to get meds for legitimate reasons.

So why wouldn't they give you any meds?

-- aem sends, still sore just thinking about it all again....

That was gone in the first hour. I was out there for more than eight hours.

Isn't that the way. Even after real life dentistry, they won't write a Rx. I've had different dentists, some will write, others will not.

I'd hate to think what would happen to a tech who drank only Mt. Dew. That could make for a poor night sleep.

It was an emergency, and the moron Lt. he was replacing was too sorry to restock the clinic at the small Army base in Alaska. There was nothing to prep me for surgery and nothing to prescribe for pain killer afterwards. The fronts of two teeth broke and fell out while eating lunch in the mess hall on a friday, and I had to wait three days for the clinic to open which was only open on Tuesdays & Thursdays. The alternative was a two hour ride on an army bus to Fairbanks on a mostly gravel road that was painful to ride when you were well. I came close to killing the idiot Lt. when he suggested waiting another day for a ride in a helicopter, which was rougher than the damn bus ride. So, I sat there as the Cpt. used what looked like a large Scratch Awl and some pliers to break apart the roots and remove them one at a time. What was left of the crowns crumbled as soon as he tried to pull either tooth.

He kept stopping and asking if I wanted him to continue. I would nod, and try to say yes. As far as pain killers after dental surgery, I didn't start having the prescriptions filled until a few years ago. I've had eight teeth cut out in the morning, and went on to work a full eight hour shift later that day. It wasn't till I became Diabetic that I had to give in.

Actually, I have always slept better when I drank caffeinated drinks. I went two years with no caffeine, and was miserable. I can go right to sleep after drinking an eight ounce glass. It also helps reduce the swelling in my legs if I drink it not log before going to bed. It does more for me than the daily tablet of HCTZ. My body chemistry has been screwed up my entire life. I saw my VA doctor on friday. My sodium & potassium leaves are both a little low, even though I take supplemental potassium, and use more than five times the recommended level of sodium. If I reduce either I get muscle spasms, and a lot of pressure sores.

Absolutely.... same here in south Mississippi. BTW, I do recommend spending the $400 for a Seiko divers watch. They last me 15 years or so, anything less will be junk in 1 - 3 months.

I came down with blood poisoning after the first kidney stone I had that put me in a hospital out in the middle of The Pacific. I was shivering in the tropical heat and the fever I developed killed all the good bugs in my gut which turned me into a jet boat. A dysentery like ailment is no fun.

Ah, the all male reaction. Got to write about something even worse. Any good battle wounds? Nonsurgical amputations are always popular. And African tribal circumcisions tend to draw a crowd of gawkers.

one should be fitting for our conversation. Lancing a boil. Presumbly without anaesthetic.

No idea. Find it yourself if it irks you.

A sentiment I agree with 100% btw.

Same symptom - compressor would start, run for a few then kick off. replaced the fan motor and presto.

If yours does not have a cooling fan, try cleaning the dust from the coils.
