Good News

The news is good … the worry for naught.    I don’t know what the doctors expected to find when they peaked inside my heart but they didn’t find it.  I have healthy arteries and no blockages … no build up of plaque.    The cat scan of my lungs also provided good news.     I have to [...]

From The Heart …

A little explanation on why I haven’t been posting regularly the past week or so.    I’m having some heart problems and I’ve been having tests on my heart almost every day.     I failed the Exercise Stress Test (hooked up to a treadmill) miserably … I mean I failed it in a minute and a half.   [...]

It is a little disheartening to discover your upright freezer door is wide open after a day of 108 degrees and there is a pool of liquid slowly moving across the garage floor.    We are cooking a turkey, a spiral ham, 9 chicken breasts and some ribs that were at the very back and although [...]

This & That …

No more whining about tendons … I promise.     The music contest is over and it looks like … barring any unforeseen changes … Ryan is fourth and will be going to New York to do a concert.     To say we are all a little giddy is an understatement. Lynn is packing up the little trailer [...]

Levaquin’s Risk Factor

It is 2:00 in the morning and I am not sleeping nor does it look like I will.   Why?  Because my brain said so.  That can’t be right now, because if I had half a brain I’d be in bed asleep. I had a school teacher who used to say that to us all the [...]
