Well, I survived my stay ant the "Holliday Inn Express" and graduated with a CSR diploma. (Crazy Stuborn Redneck). They stuck me into a huge cloths dryer, a culvert pipe, put slime on a sensor and looked between my ribs, and then went on a wheel chair ride under the street to another building where another guy smeared more slime on my neck and I got to see and hear weird sights and sounds from my inner body.(I gusss it's a good thing that I didn't fart in any of these tests). That could have distorted the results, HeHe. Anyway, after a day of fun and games and redundant questioning from the A team and B team, as this is a teaching Hospital, all I could do was wait for the results. Had a bit of a problem understanding the B team inturns. One was a young gal from Russia, and no she didn't have hairy armpits, and her partner was a south asian beauty. I was having a hard time understanding their questions, and they didn't understand my Redneck humor, but I had a good time playing pady cake with them as they ckecked my physical dextarity after my last stroke.
I'm sure that you all know that when you are in a hospital, they want to make sure that you never forget your birth date, by repeating it over and over again. I was in the ER during a shift change, and at the time I had the RN's and others trained as to my birth date, but when the new shift started checking on me I changed my birth date to 2/31/47.the young ones asked again with??? and I laughed and told them my real date. One veteran nurse looked at me with a glare and said to get out and come back after your born. We had a good laugh.
On a more serious note, they said I have had 3 strokes. I have been telling my regular GP that I feel much better when my BP is in the 160-180 zone on the high side, but he insisted that was too high,so I was taking his prescribed meds to drop it. When I walked out I am on asprin and a one a day BP med. I was taking 6 pills a day before. My colestoral was never a problem, as we live primarly off our garden and unprocessed native meat.
The Pic I took last evening best describes how I am doing at the moment. Partly cloudy with a undefined line going crosswise.
Thank you again, for your well wishes and prayers. This old dog still has a few pesky wabbits to run yet.
