Talking about Mamogram Tech From Hell 

I called the hospital and told them I wanted to make a report on someone in Radiology . I talked to the Head Man about my experience with the "Mamogram Tech From Hell". I described her to him and how I was treated. He apologized for the mistreatment. I told him if she was a student , she should have been supervised. He said if she was the one he was thinking about, she had 20 years experience. He also said she didn’t work as a regular but travelled to different hospitals. I received a letter from the hospital stateing what I had reported and of course an apology. I waited a few days for "Head Man" to call me back, so I called him. He said he talked to her and said the incident was on her records. He couldn’t tell me what their conversation was , (confidentiality). I asked her name. Wouldn’t you know it, her name is VIOLET, my fave color family, purple.  lol

Mamogram Tech From Hell

Inept Techs doing mamograms should be illegal. Sure,students have to learn but not at our expense. She should have been supervised. Hindsight tells me I should have walked out.But the ‘what if’s’ kept me there and the left one had been done already.The ‘ediot’ forgot the nipple thingy so she had to repeat the left breast. I allowed her to continue and she was so impatient and disrespectful as she kept telling me I wasn’t standing right and wasn’t close enough. Well, I was close enough for her to pinch my left breast while the right one was in this vise.

I simmered for a few days and called the radiology dept.to report her. She told me that all the employees are experienced. I explained to her what happened,date,day, time, description of the young woman. She told me that they had Techs that day. I told her that she should be reprimanded. As I think back, I should talk to someone in a higher postion about this. This should not be allowed without supervision. It’s bad enough with an experienced person. So ladies,before you have this done ask if the person is qualified. I am blessed ’cause I received a letter saying it was normal. I’m most grateful for this. God bless you, my friends, S  copied 1/16/15

Chiari Son 

There’s nothing new to report about Andy’s condition. He has good days and bad days. When he’s feeling well enough he goes on the road with his dad who drives an 18 wheeler. He wears a foam pillow around his neck to keep it steady. When he’s tired he lies down in the truck. Someone has to ride with his dad because of his heart. and keep him awake.. So Andy’s brother David rides with him  when Andy can’t . Both sons are mechanics and keep the truck going if they have a problem on the road, unless it’s something big.    Oh I can report something happy. Andy has a new grandson. His name is CASPER CLOUD C. he was an 8 lb. 5 or 6 oz. His big sister’s name is JADE SKYE C.

Well tonight I figured it was about time for some soul food, so I got cabbage from my sister, I cooked great northern beans, boiled potatoes in the jacket and baked crusty cornbread, had little green onions to boot. I don’t know how yall cook cabbage, but I add sugar and apple cider vinegar, w/o measuring , also Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Speaking of olive oil. It’s about time for my homemade tea cakes, which I use olive oil and I add my own stuff, raisin, coconut, cranberries,blueberries, cherries, oatmeal. I may even put prunes in this time. I’d cut them small. I’ll let yall know how they turn out. My friends, thank you all for visiting as I appreciate all of you. And I do appreciate your prayers for my son.   copied from WP  1/16/15.

Chicken Soup for the Soul

I really enjoy these books. And the photo surely caught my eye.

The words on the cover may be unreadable. It was written by  Amy Newmark, foreword

Looking Back As I....

copy old posts from Word Press. It brings me back
 to pleasant times when we were on Spaces and earlier
times when my sweet Kassey chose me as her human.
I enjoy being on Blogger, but I miss those days, most
especially when Kassey came into my life...I just miss
 my sweet girl.
Copying all this will take awhile. It's been 6 years since
we were booted off Spaces so .....I hope I can keep the
Wi-Fi. long enough anyhow to finish. I don't take it
for granted.
Blessings to everyone.

Finally Here Again

After being absent, it was a struggle getting here.
I'm blessed with a Wi-Fi connection at the present.
I've sure missed everyone.
I'm sorry for worrying you all. I know how it is to worry about
our friends who drop out for one reason or another.

I'm still alone here with no fur baby. I have given most of Kassey's
things to my son's cat. He was so sweet looking up hoping to
fill my lap. I declined because he isn't de-clawed. His woofie
brother, Duke,a Great Dane , backed up and sat on my knees
twice. It was a missed photo op which I regret.

I'm so thankful that I got on today. I'll start visiting. Thank you all
for visiting in my absence.

Hello Again...Mom

I have had a hellish time getting on here.
It showed I was signed in, but as usual, couldn't do anything.
You all are still in my thoughts. I hope I can visit with comments as
before. It's been very frustrating as I keep avoiding G plus.
I hope I can get into my gmail again as well.

It is lonely here without my Kassey. I miss how she always told me
when to get up in the mornings and  when to go to bed.
I miss her and still don't know, God willing, when I'll rescue another furbaby.
Sometimes, I get the urge to look, but just can't make that step yet.
