Daryl hopes to have his umbilical hernia resolved in a few weeks;
And that will be good... :)
Yes, not sure of his degree, just I know in general it's not good in
general when "one spills their guts", especially if the part becomes
strangulated.
I've had an umbilical hernia... fixed, as well... didn't get to theThankfully! That would not have been at all good!
strangulated stage, thankfully....
I need to have a colonoscopy done - no rush, just slightly overdue on
the five-year. At this point Scott County is still 'closed' so not
considering.
I'm sure your GI's office will be calling to schedule once things
start to open up.... Meanwhile, I just got a call from mine, that the
rescheduled appt for June 8 needed to be pushed farther out, to July
15... at least I'm not overdue on my next colonoscopy yet... :)
I received a reminder card last Fall so might not be getting anything
further; will call to schedule a short while after things re-open
here.
I suppose an exploratory call (are you open yet?) might be in order,No, I won't wait for a phone call nor post card reminder. Will wait a

though, they might be reaching out to you once they open... I'd not
wait on that, if it were myself, though... :)

Today is May 5th -- I don't recall getting a 'for-certain' e-mail from
them last week. Do need to have the left contact lens/eye checked --
again that's not a must-do-now thing.
Now that it's May 11th, have you heard anything from them...? I
still haven't checked on my doctor's office....
They're reopening next Monday (May 18th), though "no new fittings for
contact lenses through the month of June". The e-mail also included
several new rules including temperature reading on entering, multiple
hand cleanings as move from section to section, masks, spacing of
appointments to minimize contact with out patients.

lens (because touching the eye) not to restart until June, though as I write this that's only two weeks away.
Appointments spaced to minimize contact (not the lens kind!), wash/
clean hands as move from area to area, temperature checks, any persons accompanying the patient not allowed in unless required: parent with child, patient requires assistance, etc. Friend goes to the same
medical doctor as I and similar standards.
... Why is it called chicken fried steak if it's BEEF?
Steak means it's beef.... the chicken fried is just the method,Yes, plus "beef fried steak" sounds even sillier!
of course... the batter/breading you'd use on chicken pieces to
fry them... But you probably knew that already... ;)
Well, one could just say batter fried steak... ;)

If you call, worst case probably would be "no, we aren't open for
that yet", but then they'll know that you are wanting to know as
soon as they do open... :)

And now we are in June.....

Haven't heard anything definite from any of my doctors lately...
but a friend that recently had a retina check, and then
outpatient surgery to put a stent in her leg, reported that in
both cases she had to wait in the car until they were ready for
her... in the latter case, her friend/driver had to wait out in
the car ansd they called him when she was coming out so that he
could meet her at the door of the facility...

And of course he is alive and well and back on-line. :)
And now probably open with the social distancing. Right now a bunch of But Firsts have lined up.... Thought what's new?!
Did get an e-mail reminder I was overdue for a checkup -- But First!
So now appointments of that kind will be delayed until Fall when the weather cools off and the driver doesn't get roasted! There is air conditioning in cars but noticed gas prices rising.

I resemble that remark!! <G>

The restaurants have supposedly gone to Phase 2 today...not
sure if I want to dine in, or just get it at the drive thru.

I had to call to see if I needed a COVID-19 screening 2 days
before I see the hernia surgeon for a follow-up on
Wednesday...but they said, they'll just take my temperature
(forehead scan), and ask me some questions. Good thing they
didn't require it via rectal thermometers. :P

It was up to $1.75 a gallon for regular here last Friday...I
didn't go out this past weekend.
Were you're ears burning? I thought we have the CPU throttled. (High
CPU usage --> heat --> pseudo-joke.)
I'm thinking drive-through: you don't have to get out of (and later in
to) the car, potentially straining your sutures. Here the restaurants
are at 50% capacity so table space is limited; lots of people are
chomping at the bit to eat out, so a higher demand for limited seating spaces.
didn't require it via rectal thermometers. :P
Especially if the check was done outside in the car!
Last Thursday one station was $1.99 and the station across the street (literally) was $2.09. Guessing most of the increase is due to
switching over to the summer gas formula.

Or a male hot flash. :P

Well, with the binder/girdle on, I have support. The velcro
tends to cause a rash, though.

It was higher today, but I forget how much...too much else on
my mind.
