It’s a really rough day here in the CatBox. Yesterday the nurse had an emergency, and nobody let me know she wasn’t coming. I felt very angry, because I exacerbated my back pain for a long time. There would have been no problem if someone had given me a call. I would have said, “No problem, let’s reschedule.” But I waited for her for an hour. Then I called, and it took them another hour to find out where she was. That messed me up big time. I need to go back to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Cartoon: So sad!
BFTP: Truth!
I’m so sorry that that mess up happened to you. Surely there is a better system for them to at least get in touch w/you and to let you know they aren’t coming in/or running late/or who doesn’t/can’t show up. That’s just common courtesy to you, to let you know. imho. Get your needed rest, and take good care, Tom.

TJI#1: Special! I’ll take popcorn, now, with butter, please.
TJI#2: Crazy is a crazy does?
TJI#3: I’d better read up on how much carbs are in 15 pounds of popcorn!
TJI#4: Now, I undertand, he is claiming that his problems come from Biden, not Obama. It’s just the same old same old, but on a new day.
TJI#5: Absolutely!
TJI#6: that these asses are in this thing called congress speaks mouthfuls to the dysfunction of our system!
TJI #1 – Yes. Garland got out of comittee yeserday with bipartisan support (which doesnt mean there weren’t some who voted against him.) Barring unforeseen circumstances, he should get through the full Senate pretty easily.
TJI #2 – A pity he’s the one who ran for Congress. Any of the others would serve better.
TJI #5 – I’ve always thought that. Many people do. It is a bit more obvious just now. I hope we don’t forget that when it becomes possible to get them better pay and better working conditions.
TJI #4 – From what I’ve seen and read, Donnie’s CPAC yammering didn’t earn him any points.
I like the pithy summary from “The Hill”:
Not such a good day, sorry.
‘Toon: That was a good day!
BFP: And, then along came GWB, and the never-ending wars.
I am so sorry! Rest and more rest.
Cartoon – Cleveland was, I guess, a pretty good guy. But the precedent he set still scares me.
Blast – Yup. Of course, sometimes he/she has no choice.When the only two things you can do are join the military or starve…
The scheduling snafu is certainly frustrating – and it seems avoidable.
Emergencies certainly happen, but a text message only takes a few seconds to create and send. Granted, s/he probably had other patients to visit beside you, but still it would have taken only a couple of minutes to address.
Cartoon: Good.
BFTP: Yeap, like Mitch mentioned we’re still suffering with the endless war.
So sorry that your nurse didn’t make it over yesterday and you didn’t even get a flipping call or text. She could of called her department boss and had them notify you and others about having to cancel. Well I hope they listened to you yesterday and that will never happen again. Is she going to come over another day to make up for it??
Hope you’re able to get some rest today and that you get to feeling better, TC. Please eat and drink your fluids.
Take care.
You were quite right to be so angry for being in pain unnecessarily, TomCat. I hope the nurse isn’t part of your new hospice care regime and if she is, you may want to reconsider getting up or staying up to wait for her visits unless it is absolutely necessary, for showering for example.
4:18 So pretty.
Cartoon: Good call. And what was the next test to discriminate against the poor, the uneducated, the coloured… they came up with?
