Cardiology

I departed for town earlier than usual on the bus in order to arrive in time for my appointment with the cardiologist. Once again, I provided the nauseating details of the circumstances that led to my untimely visit to the emergency room at the hospital about six weeks ago. Long story short, the cardiologist believes that the root of the problem may be dehydration. Nonetheless, he has ordered more blood work, an echocardiogram, and the infamous treadmill test. So, I have more medical appointments in the queue. I will also be continuing with the low dosage beta blocker medication. In addition, I will be taking a low dosage of aspirin daily.

Typical Hydrated Hottie
To celebrate my indoctrination into medical oblivion, I purchased a vanilla milk shake (half-price with coupon) at the fast food joint in town. My formerly-homeless buddy stopped by a few minutes later, so we were able to chat. He has completed the chemotherapy treatment for colon cancer, although he said the tumor was still there. Foot surgery was successfully completed, too. No motorized wheelchair required. So, he has restored his membership at the gym.

Typical Impressive Hottie
My former-homeless buddy has assumed that I will moving to the dormitory in Chinatown. He's pretty excited. I didn't tell him that I was not too impressed by the dump. My cost analysis yields that any savings will be minimal, not enough to offset the dismal environment. The rooms are small and stuffy. There's a small refrigerator included. A bed will be provided, if requested. The windows are fairly large and face into the inner courtyard (term used loosely). There is a huge industrial sink in each room, a hideous hunk of porcelain. The common bathrooms are clean. No mirrors, no electric outlets, just a shower and a huge industrial sink. No common kitchen either.

Typical Decvisive Hottie
I don't know. I shouldn't really complain because the dump fits my pathetic life-style. However, $425 per month is way too much for that. The "crack house" was only $300 per month. Vegicle parking will cost an additional $100 per month. The nearest parking structure is about three blocks away. So, the final decision has been postponed. I have to deal with my medical decrepitude first. Sheesh!

Surveillance Mini-Update®
I have temporarily thwarted the damned surveillance 'bot by sequentially uploading a legitimate posting along with the dummy "Booyah!" posting. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!
