Hello!
Good day to you all..
My diabetic nurse came today to change my wound dressings
and talk about changing my night insulin for one that lasts 24 hours instead of
8, suddenly I heard a sound I haven’t heard in a while: “Beep Beep…Beep Beep…”… “?? Is that a pager?!?” I asked all surprised.
She confirmed it was and then started telling me why she had one; why all the
nurses carried one now at the CLSC (local clinic). Wow, the new government is
really cutting back on everything related to health now; they want to reach a
balanced budget and are doing drastic cut backs on anything that they can. I
told her that I thought that the pager technology was dead just like the dinosaurs,
apparently it’s still pretty much alive; if you want to save some money.
Apparently it costs $5 a month to rent one instead of the $30 for basic cell phone line.
I told her it was good that the government was cutting back, it would benefit u
all at the end…I guess…. She concurred but wasn’t too thrilled with the
technology, mainly because she didn’t know how to use it properly; I had to
give her some tips.
I feel like I just got a second wind with the appearance of
such antiquated devices….
Take care folks…
PS It’s not only pagers, vinyl record players are being sold
everywhere now AND, Christmas sweaters are making a comeback too…. I feel like
the Studebaker is coming home soon…I'll be dam, it has!
