My Medical Recovery Whoahs: Week #1

Week #1

Last week, on Thursday, I had a triple surgery. I had a deviated septum, which had to be fixed. My sinuses git surgically "cleaned", and my tonsisl got removed.

My specialist doctor:

Peter S. Ambrus, MD, PC
A multi award wining physician.

The surgery took place at the Quincy Medical Center, and got delayed... On the paperwork they told me I could drink up to a certain amount of clear liquid the morning of surgery, so I had a quick, cup of hot water with a chamomile teabag that I barely even steeped, and no sugar. 

Plus, my paperwork had conflicting times that told me when to be in the Medical Center for Surgery.

1 paper said 10:45, another said 10:30, and I had a letter that said 10:35. I planned to be there by 10 AM.

But, they called me at 9AM, and asked me why I wasn't there. The papers didn't say that, and my pre-op visit didn't communicate that to me either. So much information thrown at me at once. I have a stack of papers...

I was told the delay would be 2 hours, but it was much longer.


After surgery, I was wheeled into a operation recovery room. Never saw the surgeon, because he left.

Then, different women (nurses) came to talk to me, all handing me something different.

In the papers I was handed a folded up bunch of papers, and in it were paper clipped 2 blue prescription papers. NOT 3.

I didn't know that I was supposed to have 3, plus, I was still on anesthesia. So, as the nurse suggested I go over the paper, I did, I noticed 1 of the papers told me to take augmenten, which is an antibiotic, yet in the paper clip there was NO such paper. I even tried to ask a nurse, but they acted is if clueless or I wasn't making any sense, but also told me that the doctor left and no one could write the prescription.

But, since I already had some augmenten for the infection I was already treating left, I figured, well maybe that's what he meant.

I even discussed this with my husband.


On Tuesday, I went to the Post-op visit and told this to the doctor. But, instead of apologizing, he spinned it back on me and blamed me for it saying that I must've misplaces the prescription, and it was MY fault, and he kept saying "Well, I wrote the prescription."

How is it my fault that I just got out of surgery, was on anesthesia when some nurses handed me papers, with 2 blue prescription papers paper-clipped onto the white papers, and NOT 3?
Explain to me how I MUST'VE logically misplaced them?

I looked, and looked, and I even asked.



At this point, I'm very very perplexed, and confused.
See, I'm on medications... so, I, of course, question myself...
But, from now on, I want to keep my spouse with me at all times, because I want to be sure it's not just me being paranoid... But, I just don;t feel like I'm getting treated as good as I could be..


I'm perplexed, because at times Dr. Ambrus can be very nice, and likable.


What do you think?

Am I being unreasonable?

A Philosophical Pondering: Integrity VS. Material Success; Fate & Destiny

U know what?
I had a thought...

What if the real purpose of my life (our lives) wasn't really to be "successful" in the sense that we think?
(usually when we say that, we mean career wise, "The American Dream", and materially)

Because when u think (even philosophically) about "fate" or "destiny", then that all seems like a sham, or a farce...

Maybe... just maybe... the real purpose in life wasn't that at all... because, really, what's the point? Even if you just get stuff, then what? More stuff? U're just going to pass away anyway... and then what?

Perhaps, what if it's really about is living life with integrity?
What if it's about REALLY being TRUE to yourself, WHO YOU REALLY ARE, Your Heart, Your Humanity, your actions about ur fellow human beings, the world you live in/on, what you contribute, help, speak-up/stand-up for, and what you leave behind... even if no one remembers ur name.

Because if that is what "fate" or "destiny" was for me, as a sort of "lesson" or "test", whether "spiritually" or philosophically, then I'm TOTALLY OKAY WITH THAT.

To TRY, but not JUST to try, but hopefully to LIVE (if not strive) for INTEGRITY is something I could live with. If THAT is destiny or fate for me, then OK. Not only can a I live with that, I could DIE happily with that.


No, seriously.

If I were on my deathbed, and this was my last day, I'd be fine with that. Because I think I really DID try. (because I've endured the aftermaths of so many that turned their backs on their humanity)  It's my regrets that I'm always trying to compensate or make up for.



I find the whole concept rather comforting, really.

Freeing.

Getting Free BitCoin UPDATED 04 28

* (Updated 04/28/2013)
Getting or Earning FREE BitCoin is REALLY EASY! (BTC, uBTC, or mBTC)

It's SOOOO easy that my 9-year-old daughter does it too!

(Beware, some FREE BitCoin sites are SO NSFW, R-Rated, or X-Rated, so be careful!)

* Fist you need to get a BitCoin/BTC wallet, and synch it!

That can take about 2-3 days, or longer if keep turning off your computer at night.



Tips: DO NOT download or use smartphone wallet apps! 
Waste of your time, and money!

Also, NEVER fully trust a website as your wallet. They could crash, or go under, or suddenly become as greedy as MF Global, and rob ur account. Since BTC isn't regulated, you could loose out!

I and my daughter use THIS wallet.

Install the wallet, it will start synching, and you will have to wait in line with all the blocks to synch. Try setting up your wallet to always open and stay in your tray (Windows users) so you don;t always have to go finding it and starting over manually.

After you get your wallet, if you want to buy BitCoin, you can. There's no shortage of places.

Many people like sites like:

* Mt. Gox
* BlockChain


But, surely, you are reading this because you would like some FREE BitCoin!

There are SOOOO many now, that I am finding it hard to keep up!

Try bookmarking this blog post, because I will surely be updating this as frequently as I can, because there's always new ones popping up!



The Best Free BitCoin Sites:

#1 BitVisitor 
#2 CoinVisitor
#3 CoinTube (Sometimes R-Rated)
#4 BitCoin4You (BEWARE: NSFW & X-Rated)
#5 Earn Free BitCoin

UPDATED 04 29 2013: Allegedly Where To Get Free LiteCoin

UPDATE: 4/29/2013

OK, these claims are ALL TOTALLY BUNK! 
So far I haven't received a SINGLE LiteCoin from any of these sites! DON'T Waste YOUR TIME!












Allegedly Where To Get Free LiteCoin...

According to some websites you can get LiteCoin for free...

I've been using these sites, which were recommended, but so far I haven;t gotten a single decimal.

But, here they are so far:


* LiteCoiner

* Can Has LiteCoin


I will update whether any of these actually pay-out, or not.

If someone would be so kind as to help me out with LiteCoin Pool mining, with an account and password that isn't already shut down, I would appreciate that. 

BlogCatalog Sham

BlogCatalog was recommended to me as a FREE "community" and a great place for people to be interactive, as well as a good blog directory. However, they never seem to actually review your content UNLESS, I guess, you PAY THEM.

I'm NOT a spammer, I'm NOT doing PORN, I'm NOT a BOT.I read the directions (multiple times).

But, oh... "verify" this. "We can't verify it." Well, MAYBE, if you would answer me... maybe if you would, YOU KNOW... STOP blowing me OFF, maybe we could get to the bottom of this.... Ya think?

I read their directions, I tried multiple times. But, each time, I just would get the same VAGUE "cookie-cutter" decline reply.
NO answer, nothing.

If I e-mailed them. No answer.

If I tweeted the, they would again just blow me off:

@blackunigryphon will check in the am :)
— BlogCatalog (@blogcatalog) March 6, 2013

Always just: I'll deal with you in the AM... and NEVER do....

If anyone tells your it's both free AND great. It's not true. Truth is, THEY WANT MONEY!

Unemployment As A Humbling n Humiliating Experience 1-3

 Unemployment As A Humbling & Humiliating Experience 1-3
 By Kandice Kathleen Zimbleman (Black UniGryphon)

The ONLY Drum N Bass Songs I ACTUALLY Like

It annoys the crap out of me when kids say dumb stuff like "Dub step used to be called 'drum n bass'."

How DUMB are you????

Honestly, I HATE the majority of "Drum N Bass" music!
It's also called "Trommel N Bass".

The 1st time I've ever heard the stuff as a kid was from Germany, so I'd only originally known the style as being called "Trommel N Bass", but even by the late 1990s even the Germans were just calling it "Drum N' Bass".

I have NO IDEA  HOW anyone could EVER confuse "Drum N Bass" with "Dub Step"!

It sounds NOTHING ALIKE!

For one, "Drum N Bass" is so confusing to sit n listen to because it's a contracting amount of "feelings". You have these really fast klicking beats, and often the musical elements/arrangements are soooooooooooooo slow... that I don't know whether to fall asleep or twitch-dance... but, it's like ya can;t dance to it, because it's so sloooooooow...

It's like the musical equivalent of drinking LOTS of Vodka with 2-3 Red Bulls (the kinds with sugar in them)!

So, u don't know whether to pass out, or get up n go!

The vast majority of Drum N Bass tracks are just that genre version of House Music... but a very bland monotonous track, that is boring, and makes me want to leave...

In my personal opinion, I find most Drum N Bass tracks to be terrible, where as the newer glitchier styles of "Dub Step" are quite good, I just didn't care much for the old style of Dub Step with that UK garage sound... so boring...

*yawn*


Plus, I can actually dance to Dub Step. You know? Popping, locking, hitting...



Having said that, there ARE actually a FEW (very few) "Drum N Bass"/"Trommel N Bass" tracks that I actually LIKE... even LOVE!

And.... yeah, they are ALL GERMAN!

What???? I just like German Techno better....
So?

Here they are:

#1.)

Now, my favorite DrumN Bass song/track is a remix of Blümchen's single "gibt Mir noch Zeit", which I think is WAY better than the original version of the song.
There are actually 4 versions of this track.

There's the Radio Edit (in der luft) which is in the Original German (Deutsch)
There's an extended mix version

And, there are 2 other versions of the song IN ENGLISH  But, published under the alias "Blossom" and the song is called "Give Me More Time".

Those 2 versions also have a radio mix (On Air)
and an Extended version track.
 But, The German version is BETTER.


You can download the radio version (Deutsche) HERE
You can Download the long (Deutsche) Version HERE
(Amazon)

But, the English versions will be difficult to find. Check Discogs and importers, but it'll cost ya. I got mine from Japan in 1999, and it wasn't cheap.


But, for the record, NO OTHER  Blümchen songs remixed to Drum N Bass are any good at all. There's a Drum N Bass remix of "nur geträumt..." which is so God awful! Yuck!



#2.)

Another Drum N Bass track that I actually LIKE, is by "Scooter".

 I REALLY like this one too! Great Stuff!

It's called "The Fist Time".




You can download it HERE (Amazon)

#3.)

And finally, A track by "Dune", and I LOVE it.




You can download it HERE. 



And, that's it! Ironically, each of these musical acts are NOT known for even doing House or Drum N Bass, but Known originally for Happy hardcore...

But, Scooter has moved on to Hard Style & Jump Style, and even does Dub Step now.
