The Nexus 10 is here

I am having difficulty getting it to connect.  I DO have wifi in the apt. but I keep getting a message stating that the tablet does not reognize the router.  It does work and support my antique devices.  I found a web community that strictly deals with Nexus 7 and 10s.  I posted my problem and advised them of my medical challenges..........not to forget that I am android ignorant.  Numerous knowledgable souls jumped on it, asked all sorts of questions and came to the conclusion that the problem is most likely the router.  It came from my internet provider almost seven years ago.  It does support my antique devices but the assumption is that it can not support this much more  high technology.  My aid comes today and I will have her toss me into the wheelchair and take me downstairs to a neighbor who has a much newer router and see if I can get the tablet to work there.  It sure sounds logical to me.  If this is the case, I will have Judy get me a new router and I will be good to go.  I am so excited to have a new device on my bedside table that meets all of my needs.  Life is great.  Have a good day.

Getting rather anxious

I didn't think it would happen to me but I am getting anxious about having this procedure done on an outpatient basis.  It is scheduled for 1:00 PM which means that by the time they are done and observed me for a while, it will be the end of the work day and I will be sent on my merry way and I have no idea what I am supposed to do for post op pain mgt.  My current meds will not do the job for the first night and the next few days.  I  am not concerned about the incissions in the upper lumbar and thoracic area for running the leads.  I am concerned about the implantation of the device in my butt.  That one is going to be rough.  I hate having to have it done 2 hrs away from home and my pain doctor.  There isn't anyone skilled enough in this town to deal with my heavy metal back.  LOL!!!  I will see my pain doc on the 11th and discuss these concerns with him.  I am certain we can come up with a battle plan.  Boy, this better work.

There is always someone who has it worse.

I live in a small one bedroom apt in a senior/handicapped security building.  It is a real blessing to live in a safe place since I live alone.  One of my neighbors has lost two adult children and a well loved son in law in the last two months.  As if she needs anything else, my neighbor has an inoperable brain tumor which appears to be controlled with an oral chemo.  So far it does not appear to be growing.  Fingers crossed.  Life has a way of testing our faith.  I guess it is up to us to decide how we will respond.   Back to sleep, now.
