1:50 Yesterday i found out i should have been prescribed insulin when my A1C was higher than 6 and mine is 12. That was when i first discovered it in 2015.
2:47 I did not have an appointment yesterday at Legacy with pharmacist Henry Tran. I called in the morning to make an appointment as suggested by dr. Michael Jaczko in a letter on October 15 and they said they had a cancelation at 3 PM.
But i had no idea what for was that letter. Dr. Jaczko was sarcastic in his note after the fist meeting about me asking for insulin though he told me i should meet with Henry Tran and this is what Henry Tran prescribed for me yesterday. Could have had it then or at least since Biden's program to make insulin available under 35 dollars a month for all.
Dr. Tran first told me he would give it to me in a pen, which is easier to administer. Then he changed his mind saying he was going to give me a different brand (but not the administering style) and sent at Walmart in Dartmouth a prescription for vials something i did not understand being very tired (two hours of sleep the night before, one before appointment). I left with the idea i will be given a pen at the pharmacy.
He also seemed to have difficulties speaking English and was wearing a mask. He kept saying blood sugars (plural) even after i tried to correct him. He was a very thin guy. I don't believe he was the man in this picture. He first tried to get me into one office than he said it was busy and we went into another one.
However before changing his mind he did a demo on how to use the pen. After he did it once he handed me a pad i put on my belly and told me to dial the pen at 20 mg. He said there was only water in the pen.
After i pressed the button on the pen and removed it from the pad, some of that "water" went onto my clothes and then he grabbed my hand to prevent that and some went on my left hand. Though he said it was only water, it smelled like chlorine or maybe iodine.
Then i went to Walmart to get the prescription. There was this black guy whit a badge saying again Henry on his coat, he just came from somewhere and started his shift. He called me at the counter and dressed with his coat in front of me. I saw him during other visits and he kept asking questions the other pharmacists like he was in training or something. Not the similarities. Henry Tran, Henry in training.
They made me wait for about an hour in which time i went in the store to buy stuff. I kept coming at the pharmacy and there was this pregnant woman who kept asking me if i was in line and i said i was.
Then finally a Japanese looking woman came with some boxes with vials saying they don't have needles in stock. I asked her where is the pen and she said: Are you waiting for a pen? Then she said she will call the pharmacist Henry Tran at Legacy tomorrow to change the prescription.
Both medicines, pen/no pen are on Humana (my Medicare Advantage insurance) list under the brand Lantus, positions 4 and 5. 2023 list is all i could find online. But i need to enroll in one of the part D plans first which may come at no extra cost.
3:55 Craving cheese like crazy, though i had some last night. And eggs. Started to have soreness in thyroid area.
I think i might have an idea what was in that pen. And it's not the first time. I heard last night on Coast-to-coast AM that diabetes may be caused by low metabolism due to thyroid insufficiency and i believe they just gave me another dose, together with the insulin.
In Lake Oswego it was always smelling like iodine in the balcony and i thought it was coming from 2 litters empty soda pops coming from her Jeep deposited in a closet in her balcony under ours, at number 5 while i was at 10. She was dyslexic and a student, she had a permit under her windshield.
Could had been at Reed college? Have no idea.
It might have been then and there my diabetes started. I remembered i kept telling everyone i had soreness in my thyroid area.
9:20 Și senatorii ce spun?
9:55 There she goes again... Upstairs.
7:07 Slept throughout the afternoon, woke up feeling weird. My brain seems not to gasp reality and i have a feeling of total dissatisfaction like something is missing from my brain but no more soreness in thyroid area.
But tonight i heard the nicest song i have completely forgotten. Don't remember when i first heard it, probably in a disco immediately after its release it but due to its simple lyrics i could completely understand the lyrics. Ok maybe i did not understand the word sorrow. Which was as frustrating as it was tonight when i could not find easily who did the arrangements.
First recorded by Buddha Holly's band the Crickets, a totally unremarkable version, with voice only and weak piano harmonies, was covered in 1981 by a guy named Leo Sayer who was a big fan of Crickets who looks like a rare real singer born and raised in UK and it made the tops. Probably Leo Sayer's greatest achievement.
(BTW i believe that Buddy Holy moved to Romania and became the actor Radu Beligan (Buddy, Radu, Holly, Beli) while real Ritchie Valens, you guessed, Nicolae Ceaușescu, like Patsy Cline became Irina Loghin and Jim Croce tennis player Ion Țiriac. So yes, only his music died that day).
But for the first time i realized it was not the lyrics or the voice that i
The greatest British producer you never heard of. But then i ran into Allen Tarney's other hits and one of them was with Norwegian band A-ha. Pissssss... I need a drink..
8:40 She popped upstairs minutes after i started this, pumping the floor and raising mold from my walls through vibration. Invisible mold that grows inevitable with moisture and all the nutrients in dust. Then she went quiet but the cats are now jumping like short thunders, also interfering with my thoughts processes.
So i can only write one tiny bit at a time, go and do something, steal an idea from the Universe and come back here and write it down.
10:35 I knew it. I heard that type of singular guitar before (or better said after) More Than This, still my all times favorite, was done... only one year letter. Or was it common at the time? Though i heard it the first time in the US, in 10000 Maniacs version played obsessively on local stations @year2000. Figure.
