BM>> Yes. Assume it's still there -- haven't needed to go. One
BM>> consideration to move is the hospital campus it's on is now dedicated
BM>> to cancer treatment and ....something else which isn't coming to mind.
NB>> I get a DEXA scan every two years, to monitor things ongoing.... My
NB>> next one is coming up in December... ;) They probably have no real
NB>> need to move your machine, no matter how hospital usage changes.... ;)
BM> Right: even though the campus is generally dedicated to a few
BM> specialities the building is separate and small and probably more or
BM> less dedicated to it's 'thing' - didn't pay attention to what else was
BM> inside the few times I was there.
After all, you had no need to notice anything else... and long enough
ago that things might have changed since then, anyway... ;)
NB>>> And with Covid being an issue now, the lesser (but still critical)
NB>>> things have been being done at out-patient facilities to separate
NB>>> them from the virus...
BM>> True - again no person experience. I was at the urology center
BM>> (independent site but affiliated with both hosital groups) for a
BM>> followup to a low-spike in my PSA level (came back down) at the
BM>> beginning of the COVID-19 and no masking and plexiglass barriers yet
BM>> but there were signs posted if one had a fever other than due to
BM>> urological stones to not come in and reschedule (phrased nicer, of
BM>> course).
NB>> My experience has been second-hand, with people I know dealing with
NB>> things like that... And the way the offices have been handling things
NB>> has indeed evolved as the crisis has continued... Were you to go now,
NB>> no doubt there would be masking and barriers along with the fever
NB>> warning signs.... :)
BM> They're wearing masks and behind plexiglass barriers. ...Of course
BM> "just because" there are barriers doesn't mean the little coronavirus
BM> nasties can't travel through the paperwork pass-throughs and spaces
BM> around the barriers, so the masks are still needed.
It's all designed just to slow down possible transmission, not expected
to stop it entirely... ;)
BM>>> Did do an inquiry last night to try to find out what's going on and
BM>>> 'shake the tree' a little. Too early to have a response.
NB>>> Murphy strikes again....
BM>> Uh-huh! In hind-sight I'm thinking maybe I did have fiber optic
BM>> service as I never did see that red light the tech mentioned. He told
BM>> me about it outside before leaving, and then I went downstairs to see.
BM>> The LEDs on looked green to me, but then so can some yellow ones look
BM>> greenish. Big enough should pick up red. Well, he said.... In
BM>> hindsight maybe the master system needed a few more minutes to realize
BM>> I was connected?
NB>> Possible... :)
BM> So the good news is appears everything is working properly. Uploaded
BM> a bunch of pictures of Autumn I took and was soooo nice not to have to take
BM> a half hour to upload!
Very good...! :)
BM>> In the interim there should be a post about a follow-up tech four days
BM>> later and everything is all nice now. Well, a few 'headaches' because
BM>> of the new LAN IP addressing (went from 192.168.0.x to 192.168.4.x)
BM>> - 'major' computers updated, 'minor' ones to be done.
NB>> The downside of having all those working computers.... ;)
BM> Everything has at least two viewpoints!
At least.... <G>
BM>> Yes, I was looking for an update option as the original (new) form
BM>> allowed home, two or three work numbers, FAX, etc. Would allow and
BM>> update, so theoretically couldn't even correct and we know that's not
BM>> correct. For right now the 'Clinic', 'Clinic 1', if needed 'Clinic 2'
BM>> will work, though the latter might be enough to trigger reading the
BM>> manual!
NB>> I don't think I have a manual for my phone.... But, anyway... I'd
NB>> guess that the function would show up under the options when you
NB>> go to view the new number for the Clinic... :)
BM> I've either downloaded the electronic version of the manual (and
BM> whatever else of interest I can find) and save to
BM> /File Cabinet/Manuals/<Manufacturer> <model> <description>
BM> If no electronic version or something I want (like serial number
BM> sticker) just scan that.
Well, if you have a manual, you probably should be checking it out... ;)
BM> Not really trying to minimize paper, just easier not to paw though a
BM> bunch of folders. BTW, and may be part of my over-zealousness - file
BM> cabinet paperwork goes in a hanging folder which has either a regular
BM> file folder in it or an envelope style ==> folder with accordion sides
BM> so small stuff doesn't fall out. The use hanging folders keeps the folders
BM> (inside) from sliding/drooping.
Makes sense to me... :)
BM>> ... Her last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire!
NB>> That could be a good reason to start using number candles... ;)
BM> I think I've been hanging around with Daryl too long: thinking of the
BM> thirty year old Roman prostitute's candles: XXX.
Hmmm.... could be..... <G> I was just thinking of the arabic numbers
from 1 to 0.... ;)
