Check out my new TESTING page where I hope to continue testing new features. Also, be sure to have a look at my new HIKES site and especially some of the “highlighted” hikes that are listed in bold there.
Note that HIKES used to be a “section” here, but there are a lot of them so I made a site just for them.
Medical Care In The U.s.
IMHO, medical care in the United States is AMAZING. A family member had outpatient surgery to implant two stents in their chest this morning, is on their way home now, and cleared to fly away on vacation this Friday. My daughter’s stroke treatment, therapy and recovery was equally AMAZING (and frankly, fascinating).
But I find medical administration (presumably due to insurance requirements?) in this country to be ABYSMAL. I suspect most medical staff are overworked, but with treatment provided by 4 or more organizations I find they can pass the buck faster than the government, and simply do not communicate well.
Case in point… MercyCare uses “My Chart” software and I love it. UIHC also uses “My Chart”, but the two are entirely different things (same software, different “systems”) and don’t share any information. Chaos rules.
Reauthenticate Github
So, this morning, I found that some of my recent posts coming from my iPhone did not go through in Drafts, apparently because my GitHub credentials had expired. Once I’m able to post this draft, I will add a blog post documenting how I got back here.
I find myself at a crossroads. Those of you who know me well are probably aware that I have never been a fan, advocate, or avid user of Facebook, or social media in general.
I do like FB Marketplace though. I’ve had some wonderful experiences buying or selling things there. Sure, there have been some unpleasant Marketplace experiences, too, but the good far outweighs the bad, so I will probably stick with it.
She’s doing quite well and I’m waiting for her prescriptions now .
Mackenzie Had A Seizure
At 12:18 today. Called 911 and ambulance took her to M’town where we are now. She was non-verbal and groggy at home, but came around while the ambulance was still in the driveway. They took their time (68 mph) getting her here. She is alert and resting comfortably since we got here at about 1 pm.
Flashforge Headaches
My MacServer is running dead slow tonight so I could not 3-D print from it. I’ve successfully installed orca-FlashForge on my Mac Mini but I could not connect to the FlashForge server to make that work,so I put the printer in LAN mode and now it looks like I may be able to print.
Meeting Ivan At The Airport
Flight is a couple hours late, but it gave us time to do some Geocaching. Here with Yuke.
