it's just been so darned nice lately, that I couldn't get motivated to sit down and do this ... it's not just the mild weather, but things in general, have moved a little smoother the last week, too ... the bright sunny days affect my moods, by a great deal ...
**********
after 2-3 months of formal requests for my medical records, that were arguably being deliberately delayed, we received my requested knee implant serial numbers ... and, yes, my knee was recalled over 2 years ago ... despite my surgeon saying " there is something seriously wrong in there, but I don't know what it is - you apparently are bleeding through the end of the bone - we will need to 'go in there again', to see what's wrong, and replace the knee again " ...
I have to be curious - why is it, that a dummy like me, can do a simple online search, and, find out within a few minutes, that my replacement knee is the subject of a major recall by the FDA ? ...
meanwhile, my Doctor, a Board-Certified Surgeon and an orthopedic specialist, (that had my total respect, but that has dwindled), HAS NO CLUE AS TO WHAT'S 'WRONG IN THERE' ?????? ...

| maybe Doc thinks, 'wife wants a new house, so let's do it over again' $$$ ! |
but, it's another beautiful, sunny day ! so, I ain't gonna worry about all that stuff today ! ... I'd rather smile, it takes much less effort ...

Some days I wonder what they are "feeding" those in the medical profession, these days. "Dumb" food? Or, I have noticed since my housemate & I are now on Medicare, that there seems to be a lot of "dah?" That's not true with my general practitioner - she's great but she gets frustrated with specialists too.
thank you - I also seem to perceive my occasional 'Nurse Practitioners', 'Physician's Assistants', etc., always seem to give the best diagnostic advice and seem much more interested -
I assume, if they continue on with their education, they will become genuine 'Physicians', at which point, they're obviously awarded their 'God-like' egos, and lose much of their usefulness ! ?
