Well then, Let’s See What’s Up!

I have spent two days in intensive care at the VA hospital this past week for afib problems and then, later, two more trips to the emergency room for the same kind of thing. I am feeling better today and I was discharged as stable and able to return home without further hospitalization.

So I am looking forward to going to the VA campus to attend a class given by the sleep clinic because my doctors believe that it might be sleep apnea driving some of my afib problem. I will be damned if I am going to wear a CPAP machine because they are claustrophobic, difficult to handle and to maintain and I have to get up three or four time per night to go to the bathroom, so there will be all that strapping and unstrapping and I am not ready for that.

I am over all the CDIF symptoms now and what is left of me from that ordeal seems to have been resolved (For the time being anyway) and I can now eat what ever I like with no problems and everything in that department has resolved to more or less normal for a man my advanced age.

I did manage to get some cellulitis infection in my right foot (which swelled and got red and hot and tender) and so I took intravenous antibiotics for that and it too is resolving well…. it is still swelled and will remain so for a couple of more weeks while the tissue that was damaged in the foot heals but the pain is gone and the threat is gone and that is a good thing.

We had tornado warnings here a few days ago but only a hard rain and some wind — not too much wind — but some wind — and the whole thing settled down and all is well right now.

I have rediscovered something absolutely intriguing ….it is the Blog by Insaner Thought called —THE DAILY AGITATOR — and it is probably the most interesting commentary that I have ever read and I hope that everybody who has any feelings at all about America, Patriotism or Freedom takes the time to visit THE DAILY AGITATOR. It is bright, informative, challenging, interesting, everything a commentary should be and more. I believe you are going to like it! I sure as hell do!
