What is it about squirrels?

BH has a special talent.  He can talk squirrel.  He can make squirrel sounds and refers to squirrels as squistles.  Because they make a squistle sound.

WGD knows the sound and he knows the word "squistle."  

And we tease him about his squirrelfriends.

Obviously, BH is a man of many talents.😉

Squirrels do talk.  I've noticed they made a chittering rebuke when the cat was outside sitting under one of their trees.  

If they make a noise when they see the dog, I haven't yet heard it.  They seem to be too busy getting the heck out of Dodge to carry on a conversation.

Other than the exhaustion part, how are you feeling?

Sounds like you're taking an active role.  What do you think of the new doctor?

[just bee]

Off to work now...

just bee

the new doctor is a hottie hottie, he is young, maybe outside about early early 40ish., thin and knowledgable

I am having problems with circulation of my blood to my hands. This new doc is thinking possible raynaud disease but i am not presenting the true symptoms of normal raynaud disease. He said i am really odd all the way around because i don't smoke,don't drink coffee,tea,don't drink, don't do much of anything, it comes in waves , when it will happen next is ??? To me. He said i am not a normal symptomatic person for sure. He then said i could be having minute bits of tiny tiny pieces of plaque is breaking off from somewhere and traveling to my hands. He said one way to check is doing a real fancy test of all the arteries in body with dye contrast of some kind  but he wants to hold off till symptoms are more often showing up more than every other year which i what is happening.. so i see my family doctor on 22 Jan, will increase my meds i am on now will see what he wants to do.

Not sure if this is an appropriate story but here goes.

I'd mentioned that, several years ago, I'd gone in for a routine test and when I got home from work on a Friday evening there was a message on the answering machine that I'd been scheduled for surgery.  No one to contact, no one to talk to.  It was Friday night.

Anyway, they detected a lump and wanted it removed -- just to be on the safe side.  Went in and two fabulous looking young doctors (kept thinking to myself: Why aren't these two in Hollywood?) who were also smart and funny as h_ll, were simultaneously feeling my... um... bust and trading witticisms.

The downside of this story?

I was prepared for surgery: No makeup, no jewelry, no contact lenses.  In other words, I did not look my best.  BH accompanied me and was outside the room while an RN inserted a wire in my... bust.

I made a few jokes about picking up cable stations and then she interrupted me to chirp gleefully:

Is that your son out in the waiting room?

I would have throttled her on the spot, but there was a wire in my chest and I couldn't move.

You would think that after this experience I would have never ended up an RN, but life is strange.

Just a little story to remind you to keep your sense of humor when you enter the healthcare system.  And keep asking questions.
