As I've been saying, I did a whole lot of attempted upgrading and so forth this week, and one of the things I got was a cheap keyboard. Actually, I got two new keyboards. Anyway, they both have their issues - which is why I got them both so cheap - and neither really works well.
I have the new cheapie keyboard hooked-up in here and it's got some serious issues. Half the buttons work only half the time, especially the Tab and Shift buttons. That's why there have been so many typos and minor mistakes the past week or so. I went through the first page earlier, so any RSS subscribers have probably got a lot of old posts popping-up in their feeds right now. Sorry for that, but there's nothing I can do about it; RSS just works that way - it pipes-in whatever is "new," even if it's an older post that's been edited.
I'll try to get to all of them later this week as I have time and energy. I have just been so damned busy and wonked-out on painkillers half the time that I didn't really notice them until I reread the blog today.
Speaking of which, I am about to have it out with my doctor. I am so sick of this constant circular motion of Stupid. They put me on high-powered painkillers one week which make me just plain stupid for the first few days and just about the time I get used to them and can take them without having to just lie down and/or wretch like a dog, they take me off them because they're "addictive." Well, gee, dumbass. It's not like the pain's gone anywhere! I mean for eff's sake, if I'm stuck with the pain, I may as well be "addicted" to whatever kills it!
See, they always bring this "addiction" bit up with things like pain pills, but they wouldn't hesitate to put me on some crazy shit like Prozac that you have to take everyday and have to be weened-off of. You can't just start and stop those kinds of drugs, but they don't refer to them as "addictive." No, no - we can't have that sort of connotation in conjunction with such an expensive and overly-prescribed drug, now can we? At any rate, I'm not having surgery and I only have a few more sessions of PT and honestly, not much has changed.
I'm not at all worried about becoming addicted to a medicine I need. Let's be honest, if I had Asthma or something, I'd have to take medicine everyday, right? Technically, I'd be "addicted" to those, now wouldn't I? I guess one could say I'm addicted to food and air, while we're at it.
Damned American medical system is as commercial and lousy as the legal and judicial one.
