August Concert & Visits
The Dream theater concert was fun. Rob and I rode with Ted and Matt, in Teds HUGE truck. I had to have Rob give me a push up I couldn’t even reach the grab bar on my own.
We got great parking spot right across the street from the theatre even though it cost $20, but that parking lot is disabled parking only and I happen to have a disabled car tag. 
None of us had eaten so we went to an over priced not so fabulous Italian restaurant cuz all the other pub and eatery’s were packed, with lines out the door Because there was a Tiger double header going on as well as the concert.
Short stick boy matt snuck into the front of theconcert entry line while the rest of us had to walk 4 blocks to the end. It took ½ hr to get to the front doors. Then men and women were separated into different entryways for security check. Rob had my digestive enzymes in his pocket so he got a bit hassled and delayed further because it was a prescription bottle without his name. Security had no clue that Pancrease can’t get you high even if you take the whole bottle, probably just give a person bad tummy ache and constipation.
We missed the 1st opening band, heard part of 2nd not very impressed by it; the 3rd was good but can’t remember names of them. My PseudoTumor Cerebri really affecting my memory lately.
During the Main act, Dream Theatre we tried to find a free chair. It was a “standing room’ event, unless you paid extra for a balcony seat. There were some chairs and tables on 3rd tier of floor level, trio 2 fem & older guy had an extra chair at there table but refused to let me use it cuz they wanted it for there purses. All night these people were obnoxious and security had to come twice “reprimand” them. Just @$$*& who wanted a table to hold there alcoholic beverages. They were very able bodied, one women spent most the show standing on her chair thrashing about in “dance”.
After I asked all people with open chairs around us and none would share, Rob went out and asked security to help. Security went to a women at a table with 4 bar stools, 3 were empty, Security asked” is anyone sitting here” women said “yes I’m saving them”, security “Are they here RIGHT NOW”, Women “Uhh no”. So Security grabbed one and brought it to me. A lil later someone behind us gave one to Rob too.
August 23rd rheumatologist, Dr. Dowd his usual self, nagging me about stricter dieting and prescribed me Darvocet. I took one pill didn’t like it. It made my joint pain worse and gave me a hang overlike headache.
It’s so insane that my insurance will not let me have 4 tramdol a day but let’s me have 2 tram, 2 darv a day. I JUST WANT THE TRAMADOL, I don’t want any narcotic Darvocet.
Aug 30th I saw my neurologist, Dr. Begum. She gave me a referral for another peripheral eye exam To check if the excess pressure on my optic nerves (created by the PseudoTumor Cerebi) has caused further damage. She also wrote in the referral that if there is evidence of more optic nerve damage I am to get an optic nerve sheath fenestration. She was also very irritated and upset that I’ve not had a bariatric procedure or even begun the approval process. She is ADAMENT that I have this done immediately because in all her other patients who had PTC and were obese when they had a bariatric procedure the rabid weight loss improved or completely resolved the PTC issues. I told her that my primary Dr. Nemeth was holding me up because her concerns about me undergoing surgery and Begum told me I must relay Dr. Nemeth the severity my obesity is having on my vision as well as my over all health. We discussed Lap-band vs. Full gastric Bypass and how i prefer the less invasive Lap-band and more likley get Dr. Nemeth on board with the less invasive procedure. Dr.Begum said none of her patients have had a Lap-bad so she was skeptical of its effectivness.
August 31st Friday Aral came to visit he returned to Michigan on Tuesday. Wednesday he was in the clinic getting antibiotics. Guess he picked up a bug in Cali and time change/weather change made it go monster on him. Him and Lynns, his girlfriend came over for dinner. Aral showed us some clips of film projects he’s been in lately. He grabbed an old dresser and box of stuff he’d left, said they come back for the rest later time. Him and Lynn have gotten an apartment together near Lansing. Aral will be staying in Michigan for the rest of the year, because he’s got a contract with a theatre for the winter season, Though he may take 1 or 2 short trips back to Cali for film projects with the Frog Island crew.
