Medical update

Saw the sadistic doctor yesterday. I think she may have realised what it was that set me off last time as she was all sweetness and light. I have to see the cardiology specialist. In the meantime, I've got a new drug. Haven't heard of it but, seeing it must use all the tiles in the Scrabble set, it is easy to Google. Just glancing through the leaflet (how bored must I be to read that?), I see that it is also used to inhibit breast milk. So - two benefits for the price of one there then. Main purpose for me is as a diuretic. Don't know about 'I cried a river'. I've certainly piddled one since getting these.
New Orleans seems to be on the move to the back burner. BBC TV showed a collection of the local TV reports last night and these really brought home the scale of the disaster. I think the answer is to knock everything flat and start again rather than try rebuilding. The oil industry took a big hit on wells and refinery facilities throughout the Gulf. It will be interesting to track just how they do as compared to the government's efforts in the other sectors.
