[Home-on-the-Range] [Jayhawk-Chapter] Kansas delegation caucus at NFB 2020 convention, save the date

Tue Jul 21 23:26:09 UTC 2020

Hi Everyone, 

Welcome back to life after the virtual convention in these uncertain Covid-19 times we live in.  I was to have had a house guest from July 3rd through the 19th but Covid restrictions made it necessary to cancel my plans.  I haven't been feeling my best for months but have been in denial about it.  Well, I found out why this morning.  My visit to my replacement knee surgeon on the 16th ended with unexpected blood tests and an aspiration of fluid from the right knee.  This morning I learned that the surgeon wants to repeat the knee test again on this coming Friday, as there are signs of infection in the fluid.  I have been suspicious of this for some time but haven't been able to get anyone to test my knee.  In July of 2018, the Ortho Kansas doctor told me that there are probably rusted parts in  the current replaced joint I have been living with since February of 2002.  Sorry to say that an infection would explain my extreme tiredness, thirst, loss of appetite and nausea I am quite sure.  Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5th which I am hoping will be enough time allowed for treating this.  I am told that the surgery will take place no matter what but that it may have to be a different kind of surgery.  Whatever that means.  I will be in the Rainbow Blvd KU Med hospital for whatever operation is decided upon.  Prayers are requested, even coveted Please!  This surgery was originally to have taken place on September 17th, 2018, then rescheduled for October 29th, 2018 at LMH here in Lawrence.  After several attempts to reschedule it here, I decided to take my medical business to KU Med because of obvious racial prejudice by Ortho Kansas staff.  After learning that other African-Americans have had similar experiences, I filed a formal complaint against them.  I have been asked to return to their facility as they say there are measures in place to prevent experiences like mine.  No way Hozay!  I know, wrong spelling but you get my point. I will certainly have a knee surgery of some kind  on August 5th, 2020.     To my fellow Jayhawks, thanks for your understanding as I haven't been able to be the secretary I would like to be.  Hope to see you in September.

Sorry I couldn't be there.  I was on the phone with Logisticare from 9:00 Tuesday morning until after 3:00 in the afternoon trying to work out my transportation for doctor's appointments scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.  KUMed Center is so huge and they scheduled my rides for the wrong address even though I know I told them the correct addresses.  I was scheduled for the Rainbow campus when both appointments are at the Overland Park campus.  Once we got that scheduled, they transposed dates and times.  Further complicating things is that Thursday's appointment time is outside of the hours of operation for Indi Inc. and it had to be re-routed to another transportation provider.   I had to call Indi 3 times and Logisticare 5 times in order to get it all straight.  Add in the waiting time for each of the 5 Logisticare calls and the added telescreening for Covid-19 and it was after 3:00 before I got everything finalized.  By then, I was to stressed out to do anything accept relax with a good book and a marguerita when Gerrica left after her second half of the split shift she is temporarily working.  My weekend PCA caught Covid during the last week in June and for reasons unknown has decided not to return to work.  So, once again, I have been interviewing applicants for the second caregiver positions.    Yesterday was lost because there were 3 parts to the stress test, an hour between parts 1 and 2, and a 3 hour wait time before part 3.  Add to that, a new Orthopedic Surgeon.  My original doctor is now out of the picture   for undisclosed health reasons and may not return to the practice at all.  So, now, I am seeing his partner today and my surgery will take place within the next 30 days.  I will let you know when the surgery is finally, really scheduled.  Enjoy the convention everyone.  May God bless and keep you all well and safe during these uncertain times in which we live.

Ashley, we will definitely miss you at state caucus and we appreciate your willingness to take the time to give your input on the resolutions. Be sure to state whether you support or oppose H resolution and we will count your vote as if you were present for the carcass. I don’t think this approach runs a foul of the NFB constitutions prohibition against voting by proxy As the concern about proxy voting has to do with The election of officers and board positions. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the convention as best you can under these difficult circumstances.
Best regards,
Rob
