And very concerned about a critically ill patient in the ICU now--she drank kerosene Sunday night.22 months old. I am so worried about her.
6:17 am
car.eeyore

Oh no! I will lift her up on the prayer list at church.
6:18 am
Scrabbler

Car, actually I need to remember to drink water and pee so I don't get a UTI.
6:18 am
medusa

Poor little mite. Will keep her in my prayers
6:18 am
car.eeyore

breathe..drink...pee.
6:18 am
ivesy3

scrab mind if i ask you a medical question?
6:18 am
Scrabbler

Yes, please, Car. Her name is Aaliyah and she is critically ill, on a ventilator.
6:18 am
Scrabbler

Sure, ivesy.
6:19 am
medusa

lol car
6:19 am
car.eeyore

How horrible
6:19 am
medusa

Love medical things. I don't know why I have such an obsession with them!
6:19 am
ivesy3

ty.. i have been under dr care for two mos. for dizziness.. dr wants to do a cat scan of my head.and insurance wont approve it. is there any way to get them to change their mind
6:19 am
medusa

goat
6:20 am
car.eeyore

Oh ivesy...I'm sorry they won't cover it. How absolutely stoopid.
6:21 am
ivesy3

i know. dr. cant seem to pinpoint the cause. i have to wear a patch to stop the dizziness.only thing really showin up is a twisted carotid artery
6:21 am
car.eeyore

Have you had an eye exam
6:22 am
Scrabbler

Go to Dent Institute--specialist will do MRI
6:22 am
ivesy3

yes. eyes change becuz my sugar flucuates
6:23 am
Scrabbler

If you see a specialist, the specialist will get approval typically
6:23 am
car.eeyore

OK, but nothing else showed up? CArotid artery stenosis / disease can definitely affect the vision, but so can a change in your prescription.
6:23 am
Scrabbler

Dent Institute has an office in Orchard Park on Southwestern. They will do an MRI in their own office.
6:24 am
ivesy3

ty scrab will mention this to my dr. well i think she is sending me to neurologist.
6:24 am
car.eeyore

Good. That sounds like a great option.
6:24 am
medusa

Hope you get it sorted soon ivesy
6:24 am
Scrabbler

Dent INstitute is all neurologists.
6:25 am
car.eeyore

HOpefully you won't have to wait too long for an appointment.
6:25 am
ivesy3

ok ty. it is very scary not knowing one minute to the next when the dizziness takes over.
6:25 am
car.eeyore

I will be thinking of you, Ivesy, and lifting you up as well.
6:25 am
Scrabbler

I got up late today too. Was wondering why then remembered I took a pain pill for my head yesterday evening then another one when I went to bed.
7:41 am
sprite

one strategy for this grid might be to add the endings to each and every word, don't be afraid to try. -ing, -ate, -ite, -a, -na, -ish.
7:41 am
medusa

I try them all anyway if i see them.
7:41 am

Most states have a 2-1-1 directory now, so give them a try. Dial 2-1-1 and ask them for options in your area.

I run a local online resource directory, and have a page dedicated to volunteer opportunities. Your area might have something similar.

i was surprised to see it in the dictionary...
6:00 pm
