Well, that was sneaky

I have been using Cole online grocery shopping, coupled with the Coles credit card for free deliveries over $100 for years.  It's been useful due to health issues (knee, knee replacement) and when Wing  was working for companies that sent him out and about for weeks.

Today, I go to place an order and see I'm being charged for delivery.  Whohunwha?

I started a chat window and it turns out that starting May the 5th, they no longer offer free deliveries for orders over X amount anymore.  They have "Free Zones" which is a wide window of time (typically 8 hours) on specific days.   Can no longer order two days ahead of time and be waiting on the day.

I told them that I was very disappointed, and seeing as the free delivery if I used my Coles Credit Card was the only reason I got the credit card.  I feel like it was a long play bait and switch. 

Not happy, and I will tell them about it in more than just a brief chat window.

And so it continues

Even though it's been 16 months since I had the total knee replacement, I have been having chronic, sometimes jacking up to sharp, pain on the side of my shin, that would run down to the top and side of my foot.

Today, I had the muscle pressure test done.  I have to say, it was not what I would call a pleasant experience, whatsoever!

Normal muscle pressure is between 5 and 10.

But since when is anything normal about me?  Mine; 35 and 42.

I see my OS next Tuesday... probably for a surgical appointment to be made.

I am medically tired.  Spinal fusion, followed by gall bladder removal, followed by large ruptured cyst on my back, followed by knee injury, followed by total knee replacement, followed by car accident injuries, followed by pneumonia, followed by seizures. 

My name isn't Job, but am beginning to understand what he went through.

Keito's not doing well

More like not quite right. He's back to being ravenous all the time, and peeing where he shouldn't.  I know diabetic cats have a problem with their bladders feeling over full, and having to empty it, but he went from doing well and normal, to constantly hungry, getting twitchy and getting glassy eyed. 

Have called the vet and made appointment for him.  They will be getting blood and urine samples, and a possible overnight stay for observation. 

Even though OLW 0.6.3 or 0.6.2 doesn't display the right WP Template

They are the only ones that will post to one of my blogs.  It's kind of a pain.  Turns out I should have kept Office 2007 instead of upgrading to 2010 a while back, because you can't connect or post to certain blogs with Word 2010, but can with 2007.  But Microsoft won't allow two installation Office. I can edit Typepad entries with Semagic, but I can't POST to Typepad with Semagic.

Why can't programmers get together and cooperate?  Hell no, that is too much to ask for.

What I learned last night:

I can't get by taking only one lorazepam a day.

Last night, after only taking 1 tablet a few days, my right my leg would not stop kicking and twitching last night. I even felt my foot wanting to 'curl' under.

Felt pins and needles in my right palm, too. Took med about midnight, some time after 1 am, issues with leg and arm stopped and I was finally able to get to sleep.

Lesson learned. One in the morning, one in the afternoon to keep hemidystonia at bay.
