The Nanki-Poo saga continues
I know how those days go. More than once have ridden the 2 hours to
Indianapolis to the VA with my son. When we get there you get "Oh, didn't someone call you about half an hour ago to tell you that Doc wouldn't be in today. Umm lady a half hour ago we were at the edge of town. "Adrian" wrote in message ...

When we got there, I had to knock twice, to get somebody's attention. Then, the man who came to the door told me that the machine is broken and they can't give any treatments. They hope to have it fixed by tomorrow. They'll call me tomorrow and let me know. That means that I wasted 75 miles worth of gas, and Nanki-Poo complained most of the way home. It also means that we'll have another treatment at the end of the series, so we still have 19 trips to go. :-( To do them justice, they did try to call me, but I had already left. I can never be sure of the traffic, so I always allow extra time. Poor you and poor Nanki-Poo. :-( -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

Aaarrgh, I feel for you! Nothing more irritating than feeling like you've wasted your time. Poor Nanki Poo, Give him an ear scritch for me. Melissa |

They didn't call until after 3:00 today, so I didn't know whether or not I was going until then. Nanki-Poo cried most of the way there. Fortunately, he slept most of the way home, but the last few miles he cried a very pitiful mew. These treatments had better do what they are supposed to! Joy |

But I guess if you did have one, then you would have already given them that number. Not that that would help this situation anyway... -- Joyce I have a cell phone, but it's never turned on except when I'm making a call. The man who told me about this said it happens very seldom, and has never happened after hours before. On the few occasions when it has happened, it has been early enough in the day that it has been repaired before the next morning. Joy The special engineers (they're not computer geeks like GeekSquad, LOL) are usually *very* busy during the workday as there are really so few of them. I have known them to work into the evening on hoomin special diagnostic machinery like where I worked, but they are highly paid specialists in their field and enjoy the fact that they are not required to work late hours, etc. As I said, I worked "swing" shift and sometimes ran into the ones I knew still slugging away but paying these dudes overtime (which I have also rarely witnessed) would break the budget of most medical facilities, pretty much. Well, I'm very grateful that they do their job, and I'm sure there are a lot of other people who are, or at least would be if they thought about it. Joy |

Hang in there; I know this is a long process, but just keep reminding yourself that it is finite, and won't last forever. You'll make it through, and so will Nanki-Poo. Ginger-lyn |

Ginger-lyn Thank you, Ginger-lyn. I keep reminding myself that it will be worth it. Fortunately, he seems fine the rest of the time. He's even caught two gophers in the last couple of days. Joy |

One of the few occasions when a cell-phone call is justified (IMO) - but for some reason, even if they HAVE the number, a lot of people won't use it! |
