Goot eefenink miyne fyne waltripynes....Just thought I'd check in to let you know that I am still alive if not well, and hadnt abandoned ya...if I can be so presumptuous....
Had to make an ER appearance Wednesday...lungs are really actin a fool...saw my sawbones, Doc Holiday, Thursday....says I have bronchial pneumonia, early stage....that's just great. My second bout this year, and it's only MARCH....ode to joy....the first time this year in Jan, it was viral, no antibiotics...this time bacterial, with antibiotics..."how would you like your pneumonia, with or without antibiotics..." Doesnt seem to matter, it's all bad either way.
Instead of breathing treatments every 4 hours, I have em every hour...plus a medrol pack...I'm shakin like a dope fiend riding a jack hammer....
Here's a problem I'm sure everyone wishes they had, at our age...when they checked me BP at ER and at the sawbones office, it was, are you ready for this? 101/51 ....yup...even in a stressful environment such as the ER, my BP stayed calm and collective....well, at least that's one thing less to worry about, or is it...why is it that low? Docs didnt seem concerned, so why should I be, right?
Then if that all isnt enough, out of the blue, our 9 year old Catahoula, and Coopers buddy, Jack, had a grand mal seizure at noon on Saturday...that was not a pleasant experience...rushed him to the vet where they ran blood tests and xrays, and of course found nothing...too many reasons for seizures to go into here, but they did eliminate a few of them.
Sunday morning he had another seizure, not as bad as the first, but bad enough. Vet gave us pills to give him if he had the 2nd one...now he will be on 3 pills every 12 hours for life.....
I'm not getting any better, which is wreaking havoc on my pscyhe...I have so much work today, epoxy the garage floor, bring in electricity, spread kalichi stone, work on our ever present erosion problem...deal with idiot service people ie, refridgerator ice maker...
this is the 2nd icemaker they have put in the thing, not to mention replacing all the parts before they replaced it....it is under extended warranty, thank goodness, but they keep sending a repairman out with no parts...then he says he has to order parts and will be back in a week, unpteen times.....still not fixed....had a minor water leak from washer cleanout due to a nail in the pipe...
got it fixed, now waiting for the idiot moron homebuilder to come back and repair wall...
Am I complaining? Not really, just recapping what's all been going on and my absence...No, not complainginging....My beloved is taking such good care of me, I feel so guilty...but I'm not really feeling up to doing much but laying around...not sleeping, that would be good, just laying around, which is half good...
She has made chicken soup; mashed potatoes, sweet peas, speghetti, tamales etc...gotten me water etc made coffee, umpteen times, and inbetween all that, cleaned and cleaned and taken care of the critters. I help as best I can, but I'm shakin so bad from the 1 hour apart albuterol breathing treatments, and the prednisone therapy, it's hard for me to be an actual contributor to doing anything but messin up....
And on top of it all, the albuterol and prednizone has killed my taste buds bud, yet again, so everything tastes like salt....and we salt nothing....
And on top of everything, we lost the internet....just got it back today....Diane did something, said some encantation, or sacrificed a tuna sandwich to the internet gods....
But all in all, I'm still the luckiest guy on the face of the earth...and that's due to you my friends....just the very thought of yall helps...and I thank you....and my beloved...she needs a vacation, or at least a day off.
She took a half day off Sunday...still needs a whole day, hells bells, a whole week....
Anyway, if I'm able, we will be at the spring fling...if not, I will try to convince my beloved she should go in my stead....she's a more sweller person than me anyway....as much as I would love to see all yall, I'm really not fit company....maybe as an observer....Diane could phone me from Goodes and say howdy from there....
But, she probably wouldnt go for it anyway, but we will see what we will see...
Ok, overstayed my time....well, you know me, "Ol dissertation doc" .....being brief is not my forte ! ! !
Keep the sun at your six and yall take those PNEUMONIA SHOTS, AND SHINGLE SHOTS....I've had the pneumonia shot, and you see how well it's worked for me...
Your frien....me
