Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2005OTP: What a week!
Well - we've been in the house one week now (as of Saturday). All the smells of paint, carpeting, new furniture, etc., are going away. Today we got a garage door opener, AND a new washer and dryer as a house-warming gift from DH's sister. Tomorrow night all our household goods will be delivered by a dear friend of ours from Maryland. It's all coming together. We also got a new office chair since our other one was accidentally sold at our yard sale. We spent the afternoon at Wright Patterson's Medical Center ER (about 80 miles one way). I have been out of one of my blood pressure meds since Sunday and was having serious dizzy spells. End result was a 90 day supply and an appointment next week. We can't see our new civilian doctor until she receives our records from the military base in Maryland and then sets up the appointment - first opening right now is October something. So we'll get the medical stuff in train. We're really enjoying Ohio. We will soon have to change over our drivers' licenses, registration and title. Then we'll officially be Ohioans. Then you will be official "Buckeyes" Have ya found the tree yet???? Cyberhugs from a native Buckeye.....DianeW Enjoy your new house, DeeTee. Sounds like you got a lot of new stuff! That's FUN!! One of the things I love about my apartment is the washer and dryer. I do LOVE not having to go to a laundromat anymore :) Make sure you take your meds. That is one of the things my doctor made me promise him. I take blood pressure meds as well. Luckily I take them in the morning so I don't forget. The one I tend to forget is the heart pill at dinner time, but I've only done it a couple of times. Study hard for your drivers license test. That was one of the hardest things for me when I moved to Washington. I hadn't looked at driving book for almost 40 years, LOL :) And of course each state has different rules, so you have to learn different stuff. But I passed :-))) And the funny thing is that the best photo I have of myself is the one on my Washington drivers license. Carole > Well - we've been in the house one week now (as of Saturday).

Carole, when we came to Alabama from Florida I was scared to death to get my drivers license here. I got a book and studied, then got to the place ready to take the test and found out I didn't have to take one. They just issued me a license here from my Florrida license. Boy was I relieved!

In Washington, you don't have to take a road test (thank God!) but you do have to take a written test. I wonder if the reason that you don't have to take a road test is that the inspectors are afraid to get into a car with a New York City driver, LOL!!!!! :-)))) Carole :) > Carole, when we came to Alabama from Florida I was scared to death to get my > drivers license here.

LA, NY, and DC are good. But San Francisco is my hands down favorite. Jo > My favorite "amusement park ride" is a taxi ride around a major city. LA, > NY, and DC are good. But San Francisco is my hands down favorite. If you want a really good one, go to Rome, Italy!! They are NUTS over there!

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Carole :-) One of my goals in life. I also wish I could get away with going to Mexico and driving like a local for a couple of days. It looks like fun. Jo I have already been told by my daughter that there definitely is a test to get a CA one. They discovered it when they went to get a new license. Surprise!! Talk about crash study.

Boy was I relieved! > Gwen You might not have to crash study. I think Washington gave me a few months to get my license and it wasn't that bad :)) It was mostly those silly questions about how far it takes to stop the car when you are going "x" miles per hour :) And there were a few rules that were different in WA than NY. Other than that, it was mostly common sense :) Carole :) > I have already been told by my daughter that there definitely is a test > to get a CA one.

She wants to be close enough to not have to step up the curb!!! You do know that the first time you are on your own and you do a beautiful parallel parking job, and there's no one around to see it!

They were in line when they were told they were going to have a written test. Both were given a book on the spot. That is what I meant about crash study. lol Duckie > You might not have to crash study.

In WA, I got my plates changed, then did the license thing a few weeks later :) And one of the residents at my apartment complex had the book, so she gave it to me.

Most places allow you 30-45 days, but then you do have to do everything at once. That would be a rude awakening. Loujean >Something about changing their car insurance, getting >it registered and getting their new license the same [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >>>> me a license here from my Florrida license. Boy was I relieved! >>>> Gwen I heard from my dad that when he got his first Florida license about oh 25 years of so ago, he had to know the "fine for passing a stopped school bus.." Now who would know that unless you had been fined? Is that the kind of drivers they want? LOL Lots of people have mentioned that every state is different so you can't tell by an average or where you came from. I don't even remember what we had to do here in South Carolina when we came here 33 years ago. Loujean >You might not have to crash study.

Yeah, you sound pretty happy. That is so so good. I'm happy for ya. SignatureDi zinkadoodle at gmail dot com www.pbase.com/di congratulations, dee tee! it sounds wonderful, you sound calm, and it also sounds like you're far more organized than john and i. we're still surrounded by boxes, but happy to be here. i don't miss the DC metro area one teeny tiny bit, and it sounds like you feel the same way. have fun, diane Glad things are coming together for you - except for the dizzy spells - and hope the dust settles quickly so you can really enjoy your new home. luv&stuff, Denise Welcome to the "Buckeye" state. You will love it and not have the hustle and bustle of the big cities even though Dayton is just that. Take a drive up I 75 and see the beautiful country side and farm lands and you will know why OHIO is the "flat" state. Love it here and would not move anywhere but Florida in the winter <VBG> and maybe rethinking that if the hurricaine season stretches into Jan, and Feb and March... Again, welcome fello Buckeye. janers Dee Tee, glad you got in the house. New stuff sounds good. Hope your dizziness goes away. Hope your BP gets under control with your meds now. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

Ach!! One of my biggest fears about moving is getting scripts for my now monthly 13 drugs not to mention the occasional others that need to be filled less often. First getting the doctors set up and then.... Hope you are feeling better by now. Duckie > Well - we've been in the house one week now (as of Saturday).

It's always kind of nice to start fresh in a new place. Please take it easy and remember to take good care of your health! Don't want you to let your health slide and then ene up trying to catch up with things. Enjoy Ohio and am so glad you are doing well for the most part! Hugs! Donna G |
