    Well, not fully out of the woods. I have to see the cardiologist tomorrow. This is going to ne the biggie. I'm sure he's going to have to do a lot of changes to drugs. He's already said he wants a stress test. I told him if he wants a stress test, just show me the hospital bill!!


    I'll need to build up strength and stamina before I even consent to one. Heck, I'd fail the test in the first two minutes if I had to take it today. I'll fill you in with the good or bad, but I'm really pulling for something good to come out of tomorrow's vist

    COW HIT BY A LIMO:

    Suddenly, a cow runs out onto the road, and a limo driving late at
    night, hits it head on, and the car comes to a stop. The woman in the back
    seat, in her usual abrasive manner, says to the Chauffeur, "You get out and
    check on that poor cow. You were driving."


    So the chauffeur gets out, checks, and reports that the animal is dead,
    but it appeared to be very old. Well, says the woman, "You were
    driving, so you go and tell the
    farmer in that lighted farmhouse over there."


    Two hours later the chauffeur returns totally inebriated, a full
    belly, his hair ruffled, and a big grin on
    his face.


    "My God, what happened to you?" asks the nasty woman.


    The chauffeur replies, "When I got there, the farmer opened his best
    bottle of single malt scotch, the wife
    gave me a meal fit for a king, and the daughter made love to me."


    "What on earth did you say?" asks the woman.


    Well, I just knocked on the door, and when it opened, I said to them,


    "I'm Nancy Pelosi's chauffeur, and I've just killed the old cow."


    Don't you just love a story with a happy ending?

    Let' see if I've got this straight.

    If we get Nuked, it'll be by: Missiles built with technology given to China by Bill Clinton,

    funded by Iran with money Obama gave them, with warheads developed from Uranium sold to Russia by Hillary and refined by Iran into weapons-grade plutonium in Russian centrifuges bought with money Obama gave them.
    And Trump's trying to undo this shit storm, but he's the Traitor? Amazing, just amazing!

    Ok, hopefully the last installment for a while. I saw my primary care doctor today. Blood work came back looking good and she says "the infection is GONE" and I can stop the antibiotics immediately. That's great news on a couple of fronts. The biggest being that it didn't attach itself to any joints or bones, and the sepsis is gone. So I thought it was a good time to press my luck and asked how much longer before I'm able to drive. She said she usually wants her patients off all pain meds before driving. That's when I chimed in and said it looks like I'll be walking the rest of my life. She said since I've been on pains meds for so long and have proven to not be effected by or to abuse them, she gave me to ok to drive as long as I felt up to it. After stopping for the $1.00 Sonics hotdogs for lunch, I did a few things and took off for the afternoon driving. My goal is to celebrate my birthday Wednesday (NO, it's no a shameless plug for cards or money :>) by taking out the slingshot. My limiting factor is having the strength to shift as my left arm isn't much better than useless. Hopefully being off the antibiotics that caused this loss of muscle mass and pains, the side effects will go away quickly. It wouldn't surprise me though to have to go to rehab to work through both arms and shoulders. But that's a vast improvement of where I would have been today if I didn't FINALLY listen to my wife and seek medical attention. I'm sure she wasn't thinking of being chauffeured to the ICU by an ambulance, but hey, sometimes you have to be forceful.


    Thanks again to all you for the kind words and support during this nightmare. You've done more for me than my own family did (wife excluded)

    Oh, I will be there. I REALLY don't want to jinx anything, but I had another good night last night. Only woke up once after a 4 1/2 hours sleep and didn't need any pain meds (great improvement) and it was followed by another 3 1/2 hours. I can't remember the last time I had 8 hours of sleep. I'm not sure if that means anything bad, but I'm choosing to take as being something good. I see the doctor again this morning and we'll see what happens. I'm really hoping to be cleared to drive, but I'll settle to be cleared to leave the house more often. Hearing all the motorcycles riding by has been torture for me knowing I could be out there with them. Hell, if I have to be suck inside, I might as well be up North in the snow with Connman and Terry

    Any thoughts on Meguairs quick detailer @edwardaneal? Maybe from that Facebook group?

    I saw an advertisement for it once. It said the product works so well, it does half the job for you. I bought two bottles, but my ride was still dirty. Not sure if my results are typical though

    Today I'm feeling like a cup of coffee that you get from a hospital vending machine. Old and weak. But compared to what I've been feeling, I'll take it as an improvement. I keep dreaming of the Sonic hotdogs for $1.00 tomorrow and know we'll have to stop there for lunch on the way back from the doctor's office. I'll go easy and stay away from the Coney dogs, and just have them with mustard and relish so Mitch is happy

    I need help changing the burnt out light bulbs in my garage door opener. Can't reach it without a ladder, and can't get the ladder close enough without moving my trailer. Can't move the trailer without hooking it up to my Durango. Can't do that until I'm "cleared to drive'"


    Life sucks when you're sick - almost as bad as when I wasn't sick and just a sicko

    I must be feeling better, since there's no way in HELL I'm going to miss this one. It was bad enough I missed their 50 cent corn dog special last week (or whenever it was - you lose track of time when you're stuck inside sick). Guess what's happening Monday?
