On my med situation, yesterday morning I felt fairly bad shortly after getting up but managed to get myself dressed and shaved and called my friend John who gladly drove the 11 miles from his place to mine to pick me up and then we back by his place and continued on down to Madera about 35 miles away to the Community Hospital there. I was always alert and breathing normally and the pain near the back of my Left Pit had subsided considerably. At the Hospital Emergency I walked in and registered and then took a seat in the waiting room and John sat there too. I was called in at various times for different things such as two intake workers getting all the particulars down, and then called back for an EKG, which the fellow said, after he adjusted the electrode connections and got a good clear reading, that my heart rythum was spot on which was assuring and kind of goes with the fact I never had any actual Heart Pain. They also withdrew three small viles of blood to analysis, It took about four hours total for them to complete everything and we
both were very hungry so I treated for a buffet dinner at a resturant along allong the BNSF Tracks in Madera but unfortunately we couldn't/didn't see any trains go by but did as we left the Hospital which was down about 2 miles from the restrauant.
Today I feel pretty darn good with only minor discomfort thank God.
It's getting on towards noon out here so I'll just say Good Day Every One! I have been absent a couple days and will probably be absent some more, but I just wanted to make a few quick comments. Temps are headed back up out here -
89 today and
92 for the several days after.
KEN Sorry bout your Uncle and hope you get all the other irritations taken care of without too much expense. Sure glad you found a place for your daughter to hang during the storm. I think she should take a pet back to the dorm with her - lol.
EVERYONE - Thank you all so very much for your comments about my daughter. I still am having a little trouble with it all. It almost seems like I am in a bad dream and can't wake up. Just something that one really does not expect.
Myself -- I got additional headaches to ponder. Just getting fed up enough that I feel like sticking my head in the sand, but too many are depending on me, so guess I will trundle on through. The fun starts tomorrow. How many times can a person have a 95% success before he falls into that other 5%? I've been thru 2 with 3 more to go now.
See ya'll later - --

Say Sherrel: It's easy too tend to think negatively especially when it concerns our own health situation, I'm just as bad as anyone else from that standpoint to a large extent, but don't think the law of averages [LoA applies as your dealing with a situation/s which are being carefully looked into by very knowledgeable Drs. so the LoA does not apply! It's the same when you flew the Airliners, you had a knowledgeable crew and mechanics that worked on the plane/s and everything combined yelded successful
flights and many of them too not just 50% of the time! So think positively and things will turn out just fine!
LOL -- TERRY -- Afraid that was the answer -- Glad to hear that your co-worker lady there is doing well.
** This just in **
I just spoke with
Curt, he's willing to let Stephanie stay at his house during the storm -
God bless him!!
Sherrel/Ken: It is good news that
Curt was gracious enough to allow Stephanie to stay with them!!
Curt: Hats off to you Guy!
I have my local Drs. appointment in a little while so I'll sign off for now.
Hope everyone has a good day!
