The Thyroid

I have graduated to the big pill case. My daily regimen involves; 150 Levothyroxine, 2 thyroid support capsules, 1 multi b vitamin, 50 mg selenium and 3 mg of melatonin at night. I AM SICK OF TAKING PILLS!

Flat tires part 2

Apparently the apprentice who put the patch on didn't do it right and the patch is leaking. So they are getting some new tubes shipped in. My bike is a new model and they don't have any in stock. They told me they will put a new tube in for free. Today they were sweet as pie. Go figure. He must have been having a PMS day.

I went for bloodwork this morning. They are having a terrible time finding a good vein. The nurse said I am going to start having to have it taken out of my hands. At first I flipped but after talking to others that get it that way, I don't think it will be any worse then what I am dealing with now. When they hunt and peck and search for that vein it freaks me right out. When they think they have one and miss, it's even worse.

Flat tires

My bike got a flat a couple of weeks ago. I took it in and the helper repaired. it. Darn tire has been leaking since. I make arrangements that the bike goes in today to be re-fixed.

It rained this morning and the pavement was slightly damp. I get there and the mechanic starts in with the, you can't ride you bike in the rain. It voids the warranty. I told him it's not raining now. He tells me the water from theroad could splash up and get the battery wet and short it out.

Excuse me? Are you telling me this bike is so poorly made that the barest amount of moisture could get under the mat and short the battery out? If so, I won't buy another and I won't recommend it to others. Or are you being a nasty crab because it's work that won't get paid for?

Sunday Sept 12

A perfect day for a bike ride. Only one person tried to run me down in his....pick up. I don't don't know what it is but the worst drivers out there are young guys in pick ups and the elderly. Neither group seems willing to share the road.

So I am cruising along Lansdowne street when this brown pick up sails off Talford, right through a stop sign. Good thing I have a really good set of brakes Moron.

Where was he going to? Rushing his wife to the hospital? A sick pet to the Vets? Try a big rush to the mail box.
