    Getting old sucks

    Went to bed at 7 last nite after a bowl of tomato soup. Didn’t wake up until 5:30 and got up at 6. Sure was nice after getting only one hour’s sleep in the two nights at the hospital. The parade of nurses & technicians every hour on the hour and some in between just wore me plumb out. Think I’ll take a nap after a light breakfast.

    No heart tazing necessary! A new medication they used overnight got the heart rhythm back to normal. The doctor will come by in a while to issue discharge orders so we can check out. In the meantime I just ordered breakfast. My regular cardio team will take over from here. I already had an appointment on the 18th for an echo scan & followup.

    Yep, they tried adjusting my pacemaker but it didn’t work, so now they’re going to taze my heart. That may be my next stop How long was recovery?

  5. Dining room table only seats 8 comfortably when fully extended, so 4 of us (including me) will sit at the breakfast table. The furriners will sit at the dining table. Less noise for me.
  6. My son is buying all of our Thanksgiving dinner from EV’s except for desserts. Granddaughter & Mrs. Brat will do those. We set it all up buffet style in our dining room. There will be 10 family members, plus two guests from England & Canada. Eh wot.

    Well, at least Mrs. Brat didn’t run her Honda Accord over me. So there’s that.

    Getting old sucks

    First time in years I took a diving fall face first. Was going out in the garage to dump a small trashcan of papers into the recycle bin, saw a smashed acorn on the floor and tried to kick it outsidewith the right shoe. Instead, the rubber sole of the Skecher caught fast on the concrete and I went down, landing first on my right knee with both hands outstretched, then faceplanting into the plastic trashcan which cushioned my jaw from hitting the floor. Was stunned for a while and couldn’t get up, thinking my knee was broken. But the wife, who had been preparing to run her car into the garage, got a sturdy stool over so I could stand up and then sit. A neighbor out walking rushed over to help. Put an ice pack on the knee to keep the swelling down, and another on my right forearm & wrist. Neighbor said to flex the knee to keep it limber. Pretty sore for a while, but am glad nothing broke. Just a golf ball size knot on the side of the knee and a dime size blood blister on the arm. My jaw is a little sore from the cushioned face plant. Rode on the stationary bike for a few minutes and iced things down a few times, so am good to go. Biggest downside is now having to answer in the affirmative whenever the clinic nurses ask if I’ve fallen since the last visit.
  9. Yeah, this thread is making the CR look like an old ladies quilting site on FB.
  10. I plead guilty of having been out of sorts.

  14. Bean counters summed up the points you made and used that to sway the corporate leaders.
  15. We have our bean counters to thank for that - persuading the corporate leadership to offshore most of our manufacturing, starting in the 1970s on a large scale.
  16. We got both the flu & Covid (Pfizer) shots Wednesday at CVS. One in each arm. Had a little bit of soreness in each shoulder Thursday and a slight headache along with general low level aching all over. But that was all gone by this morning. All our other 4 vaccinations (Moderna) had no side effect aching or headaches. The shingles shots made my shoulder pretty sore for a coiple of days.
