Last Friday, we got our sunroom windows repaired/replaced. I am happy to endorse James at http://www.window-wise.com/. He did a great job and new windows make a ton of difference. The room is so much more brighter.
The down side is that the window framing/edges need to be painted. OUCH! It's not heavy work, but taking a little paintbrush and going up and down repeatedly hasn gotten the best of me. One window done --- 8 to go. After that one window, I had to quit. Took a painkiller and waiting for that to kick in. Guess the project will take about a week -- One window or so a day. Oh, the pain of being in pain.
Last Saturday, I went to a chronic pain meet-up group called Chronic-Connections. Great group! More on that later. For now, one topic we discussed was: it all starts at the top. Whatever temperament the doctor has with the patients is pretty much how the entire office interacts with patients and vice versa. My takeaway -- if the front office or phone person treats you poorly -- don't even bother making an appointment, the doctor sets the tone and if that kind of behavior is tolerated, he/she (the doctor) will probably treat you the same way. That will save me on wasting time with pathetic doctors who don't really care about their patients. It had to be said -- not all doctors are good with people.
