ObamaCare, Something Funny About This !
The AMA Weighs In
This is the AMA's insight, no matter which side you are on. The American Medical Association has weighed in on Obama's new health care package; voting was very heavy amongst the members.
The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!"
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow.
The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter".
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.
Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in
Washington.

Bad Management Cares Nothing for the Residents MOLD !
Update on my prior post about fighting corporate :
The company owner I hired to come into my apartment and take air samples sent the lab results showing mold in both my bedroom and living room, to the manager. he wanted to arrange a time for the manager and him to talk about getting this mold out of my apartment a/c ducts.
Instead, he was told by her, that he had no business taking air samples without talking to her first.
This was/is in MY apartment, that I pay $524.00 for on time each month. I have a right to have anyone I want to come into my apartment. That would include a local tv station (s ) if I decide to do this.
He said he doubts that he will ever be allowed to come back into this building again. Let me state that he was not sneaking around. He signed into the building log at the front desk.
I now have the proof that at least my apartment is moldy. I also smelled it. I still do, when the a/c is between cycles.
The air sample testing was done and the company owner did not touch or take down any vents or walls, etc. He merely did the air samples. This mold was found to be in my apartment after the shoddy company the management company hired, supposedly cleaned the ducts and "got rid of the mold."
They did not get rid of the mold ! I will give her the opportunity to talk with me about this on Monday. If by Tuesday, September 24th, 2013 I have not heard from her, I will stop being ms nice lady.
I will then take steps like I should have in the beginning when I noticed and became sick from the mold, to the county health department and state of Florida and maybe even obtain an attorney.

Fighting Corporate, and Mold In My A/C Ducts
I'm feeling beat, exhausted. Fighting corporate. Breathing is not good. 2 types of mold were found in indoor air tests.
The management at this building claims there's no mold in my apartment, because they vacumned the a/c ducts and sprayed a mold inhibitor that's non-toxic. The maintence guy brought his condensation meter and said there was a very small amount of moisture, therefore, no mold !
I have been smelling and breathing this mold since June 26, 2013, when I moved here. I knew what this was. Mold.
I was told by the bldg manager that they "would never leave me living in dire circumstances."
She also stated they had properly done what they should and that I have no mold in my apartment.
The next day after the a/c ducts were supposedly cleaned ( they never did take air samples and send to a lab. ) , I called someone reputable and more knowledgeable about this issue.
Air samples were taken Tuesday September 17th 2013. The lab results came back Thursday Sept 19th 2013 positive for two types of mold. The mold in my living room is the most toxic one and the one in my bedroom is bad also.
A letter and the lab results were faxed to this building manager this morning. Hopefully she will agree to meet with the company I paid for and hired, to get this serious health problem taken care of.
I'm breathing, but not so great. Feeling very sick.

They Call This Mold Duct Cleaning ?
This company that has been hired and paid has not done their job ! I continue to be sick. Breathing is uncomfortable and ears and sinuses are clogged.
This was done on Thursday, September 12th 2013. All they did was vacumn out the a/c ducts and spray some kind of mold spray into all of them.
One of my friends came over Friday , September 13th 2013, and took off the vent over my bedroom doorway , and I handed him my digital camera. The so called cleaning results in this picture :
The company was called and hopefully two more informed techs will do a good job and finish what the first team did'nt do!

No Bombs Stay Out of Syria, President Obama !
Who does he think he is ? It's not up to the president of the United States to bomb and strike another country, especially since they have done nothing to us !!!
President Obama could punish the people only who did this horrendous act on 1,400 innocent victims, and not the whole country of Syria, which would be involving border countries, and maybe ignite a full blown whole world war !
The military has been told to change plans fifty times now ! Sounds like somebody is confused as to what exactly to do.
I'll tell you what to do : Stay out of a country where the United States has no business being there. Stay out of this ! It's not for President Obama to decide anything. Do not start a war, which could start a world war three !

Disease Caused By A Chemical Spray
I knew I was becoming sicker and sicker. A chemical spray was put into all my air conditioning ducts, without any ventilation or properly admistering it according to the instructions on the bottle.
I spoke with a company representative and he said "maintenance had no business spraying this type of mold inhibitor spray into the a/c vent ducts."
I was told "it was safe" so I did'nt know I really should have left my one bedroom apartment for 24 hours.
Because of the inhalation and bodily reactions of the chemicals in it, I now have a disease that was diagnosed and recieved medication to help, hopefully.
The disease diagnosis is : Chemical Pneumonitis. I am taking medicine that my doctor prescribed yesterday.
Doxycycline twice a day, and a dose pak of methylprednisolone. There is severe inflammation in my lungs and I hope I'm better by the time next Wednesday arrives , at which time I will be re-checked for this.

Anaphylaxis or Anaphylactic Shock
I have been sick. Only this time it's from a chemical that was sprayed into my apartment a/c ducts.
I have to get the full name and ingredients so I'm aware of this , lest it should happen again.
The maintenance guys did not know and I did not know that I was allergic to these chemicals !
I had anaphylactic shock this past Tuesday, August 27th 2013.
I did'nt get all the symptoms at the same time. Right away, I had a peculiar feeling in my mouth, and all around my lips and tip of tongue felt fuzzy. My eyes were watery and my ears and nose were stuffed up. The coughing began, but I felt better when I was outside.
I had a doctor appointment that afternoon. In the afternoon, the eyes were extremely watery. More coughing....shortness of breath whenever I talked awhile or walked from one room to another.
At 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, my temperature went down to 96* ! My whole body felt so cold. I felt sick, and had an unusual feeling. I said prayers.
The maintenance knows about this now, as I had a meeting with the maintenance manager.
I am just beginning to feel a bit better today. It's early. I'm coughing but not hard. My nose is still blocked and one ear is blocked. Not feeling very perky at this time.
I went to bed at 11:30p.m. and woke up at 3:00a.m. today like I had two pots of coffee or something.
I stayed in bed to rest my body and finally got up at 4:15 a.m. today.

Toxic Black Mold Can Make Us Seriously Sick
This is frightening for me to read, because this is what was found in my air-conditioning vent and the duct , over the bedroom door of my apartment building.
I sure do not need anymore illness. The guys said it was all cleaned out, but they are not 'professional mold removers.' The maintenance guys work around in my apartment building. They did'nt even have proper protective masks or clothing on.
I love my apartment and it's been like coming home, as I lived here before, but in a different apartment and had no trouble with mold or mold odors....I certainly do not want to have to move from here !
For more on what toxic black mold is and what happens to those exposed, read here :

Mold !
I have lived back here at my former apartment building since June 26th 2013.
Ever since, as I walked into my bedroom and back out again, I smelled this moldy smell.
I reported it to management and they got right on it, but have not done away with all the mold, as it's in the ducts and most likely our whole building ! The vent over my bedroom door was covered in black mold on the inside. Yuck ! This was/is very dangerous.
Not only that, I took a picture of the gapping hole while the vent was off.

Not only that, I took a picture of the gapping hole while the vent was off.
The vent and the crud from the duct has been cleaned as of today ! But the mold is still there and in my other two a/c ducts, also! Currently, I'm trying to push the management into getting this serious health issue taken care of !
The company bought a new shop vac with a HEPA filter and also sprayed a type of mold cleaner into the duct, which has made me very sick with a lung disease named chemical pneumonitis.
I don't know how often this will need to be done, and I hope the management company will get on this before someone else 'dies' and is blamed on a pneumonia or heart attack cause of death.
Really it most likely was the mold in our a/c ducts ! They have never been maintained properly as far as anyone knows.
Internet Browsing, Starts My Day
That is, after I have all the important things done, which one does when they get out of bed after a night's sleep.
After that, checked and answered my emails from two accounts.
Then I ate breakfast and got my written grocery list to take with me to Publix , our neighborhood grocery store here in St Petersburg,
I got my stuff, talked with friends who were there , and went to the customer service desk to get my lotto winnings. Smile. It was only three out of the six numbers I had, but this is the very first time I have ever won anything from the Florida Lotto ! I got five dollars for those numbers, and put it right back into another ticket, hopefully a winner this Saturday.
I checked out and paid for my groceries, and scooted on home.
Now I will make lunch and get around for the maintenance guys from my building to arrive to do some work in my apartment.
Smile.

Klondike No Sugar Added Ice Cream Bars
I love these ice cream bars alot ! It's getting to be a habit too, as I have one each day with my light lunch, if I'm home. I have not gained any weight from eating these, either !
However, if I keep this up I will be doing just that ! My goal is to eat one every other day. Then taper down to a Wednesday and a Saturday.
I have one left in the freezer. Hmmm, I have Edy's Ice Cream in there too, so this week I will see if I can bypass the Klondike bars in the grocery store ! Smile.

Tramatic Situation With Accidents
Okay. I drove Scoot over to the doctor's office and got my injection of Methotrexate. That will last for a week.
Then I drove on back home but did'nt stop , as I needed some food items from the local neighborhood www.publix.com store.
I am at home relaxing and now will update what has happened in the past few months.
I had yet another skin cancer surgery. That one had grown sideways into my forehead !
This took place in February, 2013. I have a large scar there, but the doc got it all out after two times with the scalpel.
A long time relationship had been dwindling, and in June of this year , ended as we knew it. It took a long time for me to realize that he and I are not good in a relationship for each other.
It's tramatic, but we remain just friends, and email and call often, and we both still care. He is the one I had the fun date with, on Monday that I wrote about earlier.
Next, as I was packing and getting ready for yet another move on June 26th, 2013, my back decided to go into some serious painful spasms. I'm all moved and I have alot of those plastic bins/totes to unpack. They can wait though...
June 30th, 2013 as I was reaching up to open a kitchen cupboard, the top of my left hand hit the sharp edge of the counter corner and gashed it wide open. I had to go to the E.R.
This has a layer of Mepitel One over the wound and then a protective soft gauze pad, then a regular gauze pad is laid over top of that. Finally it is all bandaged, and is changed every other day now. A Saline wash solution is used to clean around it.
I could not have stitches, as my skin is paper thin and tears easy. Even a bandaid will tear my skin off. It has been just about two months now and the scab formed and is now dropping off, leaving a jagged scar, but is healing nicely !
Next, was something that happened on July 16th, 2013. I fell on the floor. There was nothing to grab ahold of , so my whole body fell to the floor, boom ! My head actually bounced it slammed into the floor, my back and hips and knees and wrists and neck. They all got the brunt of it. Today is August 21st 2013, and the big bone that broke ( coccyx ) and more smaller bones in my neck and shoulders and bottom area are less painful than in the beginning.
I am healing properly but cannot turn certain ways, or make quick movements. I need to be careful everywhere I sit, and no sitting for long periods of time.
I'm thankful for each day that I can get out of bed carefully, and function well enough to take care of myself without the aid of a home health care company. They were here for awhile for the gashed hand, but I got along without them when I fell.

It's tramatic, but we remain just friends, and email and call often, and we both still care. He is the one I had the fun date with, on Monday that I wrote about earlier.
Next, as I was packing and getting ready for yet another move on June 26th, 2013, my back decided to go into some serious painful spasms. I'm all moved and I have alot of those plastic bins/totes to unpack. They can wait though...
June 30th, 2013 as I was reaching up to open a kitchen cupboard, the top of my left hand hit the sharp edge of the counter corner and gashed it wide open. I had to go to the E.R.
This has a layer of Mepitel One over the wound and then a protective soft gauze pad, then a regular gauze pad is laid over top of that. Finally it is all bandaged, and is changed every other day now. A Saline wash solution is used to clean around it.
I could not have stitches, as my skin is paper thin and tears easy. Even a bandaid will tear my skin off. It has been just about two months now and the scab formed and is now dropping off, leaving a jagged scar, but is healing nicely !
Next, was something that happened on July 16th, 2013. I fell on the floor. There was nothing to grab ahold of , so my whole body fell to the floor, boom ! My head actually bounced it slammed into the floor, my back and hips and knees and wrists and neck. They all got the brunt of it. Today is August 21st 2013, and the big bone that broke ( coccyx ) and more smaller bones in my neck and shoulders and bottom area are less painful than in the beginning.
I am healing properly but cannot turn certain ways, or make quick movements. I need to be careful everywhere I sit, and no sitting for long periods of time.
I'm thankful for each day that I can get out of bed carefully, and function well enough to take care of myself without the aid of a home health care company. They were here for awhile for the gashed hand, but I got along without them when I fell.

Wednesday First Post
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight !
There. That should apply to the whole world . Smile.
I'm sitting here in my pajamas , browsing around the net and getting all arranged in my mind the schedule I need to remember for today.
I'm still getting that chemo injection for rheumatoid arthritis, but I'm not so afraid of it as I used to be. The dosage amount even had to be raised, as I was beginning to not be able to walk normally.
One knee is bad, but the left one is worse, which is , as the xrays showed, half gone.
I actually look forward to Wednesdays now, because I know the injection is going to help cut down the severe inflammation and ultimately, the pain and function ability.
The day before the injection is due, the previous week's has worn off. Yay ! I have no chemo brain, lol. My thinking is so clear and alert, and I'm the normal me again !
I must sign off and go shower, and make breakfast, then ride my scooter over to the doctor's office where my nurse will give me the injection.
Next post will be about what has happened to me in the past few months. Some good and some bad. We have to take the bad with the good, and keep on going. Smiles.

Albert Whitted Airport Hangar Top Flight Restaurant
I went out to a late lunch yesterday with a friend who called me spontanously and asked if I'd like to go get something to eat.
We decided on The Hangar out at Albert Whitted Airport. The restaurant is on the second level, and there is an outside deck, awesome !
We talked and sipped on our beverages, he had his white wine and I had my Sprite Zero. We watched the storms trying to roll in but as it turns out, came later.
There were a few planes flying around but not many.
Our food order arrived, via the friendly waiter and my burger was made to order perfectly !
I'm picky when it comes to eating a burger. The Hangar did an exceptional job. The whole place , including the rest rooms were really very clean, cleaner than any place I have eaten at !
Our lunch date was over and he took me home, then he went out to his home on Treasure Island.
It was nice, spontanous and fun .

Writing the Rambles
It feels strange coming back to blogging, but I had a urgent light bulb go on and it seems I should get some of the rambles in my head and mind out and into some words.
I am writing once again and I hope I can just spontaniously blog without thinking too hard. :)
