Thanks to a new Doctor I met tonight.

Hello Friends,
   I just wanted to pass along some timely news that might help and also educate other Veterans where I call home in Upper Michigan, USA.  I have tried to Taylor my humble Blog so as to help my Veteran brothers and sisters. 


But for the past 3 days I have endured a terrible stomach ache with only suspicions of a cause or two.  This afternoon my wife and I decided to have professional care check it out at the local VAMC in Iron Mountain, Michigan, and we met a very nice, professional Doctor in the UC unit:  Aldo J Domenchini, and other smart, caring Medical staff.  But not everyone who works at the VA is happy and friendly.... lol.   An RN whose first name starts with "B" was grumpy, IMHO,  who also left a large welt on my R forearm that she tapped for blood.  But another RN was very nice to us by making us feel welcome.  Well,  I certainly realize that I am not the only Veteran who comes there for help and so we all have to wait our turn, with more severe cases taking priority... "triage."   So they gave me some medicine right there on the spot plus more to take home with me.  BTW,  I found out that Alka-Seltzer can cause upset stomach too, and so from now on I will eliminate that from my personal usage.   I use herbs like Fennel, and Fenugreek to sooth my messed up stomach, as I have been studying healing Herbs for over 40 years, and they usually work for me.  Live and Learn!  
     Anyhow,  I told the good VA Doctor that I might mention him in my Blog tonight.  


I also gave the good doctor some important information regarding investments as world money challenges are growing worse all the time.  


Warm Regards,
