They gonna zap it and wait for the shards to clear? ------------------------------ I finished the job I started Thursday. I cut my leg the rest of the way off ... nah nah Turned the compost [that I was hauling] in. I'm OK with clean dirt. The ground is almost too wet to turn... What's the old ax? --- too thick to drink and too wet to plow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I wish they would Willie! They aren't going to do the cystoscope and grappling hook either, they want me to and say I can pass it. Well they need to quit with this tramadol that painkiller stinks. I'd rather have Bayer aspirin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I would be inclined to ask what you are paying the doctors for? ... other than the painkillers I may go to the Dr to have him take a look at my wound. It looks "OK" ... to me. I'd like a Dr to look at it, though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so right, especially after I drove up there. Apparently they don't do that here. I am well aware of the perforation risk. Wouldn't risk offending the ones helping me! It's moved but this one has the longevity record too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 @JohnJ Ewwwww, doom & gloom for sure. Never had those things and never want to. The stories I've heard about them make me cringe. My fingers are crossed for sure John. Get outta there! @grasshopper you an accident waitin to happen or what? It's only Monday. Wait, don't you have that good looking female doctor who smells good? Got snow laying around here but it'll melt. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, don't you have that good looking female doctor who smells good? this happened Thursday. "My" Dr is in Tucson, yes. I see her for my med card exemption/s. I tease about the Dr at our clinic not liking me. Every time I see him, he has to refer me to someone else or otherwise can't help ... He's a GP. He might have liked being able to do something for me. I'll try to get in tomorrow. Having an estrogen overload. Wife's sister and her secretary are here... There might be a death in the fam. SIL likes to talk. Secretary likes to sleep. She keeps about the same hours as me. Up at 4AM and down at dark thirty. Fun Fun Fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 You guys are makin' me feel pretty healthy. A friend of mine had his kidney stones blasted/broken up with ultrasonic. It wasn't very comfortable either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Wish there were real urologists here! Did not think to check on that, In FL and NC they go after the issue. I never thought of that as "aggressive". Though that was the way it's done. Day 4 now, this ain't right!! Things change, the tylenol 4 is in me now, it works 8 hours. Ran out of my saved stuff from 2017 and the year after. The Flowmax might have helped already too. I'm comfortable except for the amount of liquids going through 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Wife tested positive for Covid this evening. That means I also have to stay home until this coming Thursday. If I test positive then I stay out until I'm negative for a prescribed period. I'm negative at the moment. At least we can do some work from home. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Covid, flu, and related upper respiratory problems put me mostly down for a year-and-a-half. I split my ribcage coughing. I no longer believe that one can pray at the moment of death, since twice I thought I had taken my last breath. Thankfully, most Covid cases are not so severe.

geezin' Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I have emphysema and Covid knocked the shit outta me for 3-4 days. Then real recovery took months. I was just fatigued all the time. That was January '21. A few months later it got bad again for 2 days but tested negative for flu and Covid. Doctor had no clue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'll change the subject ... this sounds like a bunch of old people ... Got adventurous and fired up the Oldsmobile. After charging the battery for 2 days, it needed to have a basic problem fixed. Too much air in the fuel tank and not enough air in the tires. I was lucky the fuel didn't go stale. Took her for a little cruise ... a few miles. I can't say that I don't like the soft ride it offers. It is a comfortable car. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Yeah, and you know that is what their niche in GM was long ago. Even their late 60s 4-4-2s had a good ride. But you'd better have enough air in the tires to handle the roadways! Being a youngster was a lot of fun! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Those big rides are long gone. That was half the fun of cruisin back in the day. Could drive forever and then... 😂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little car would go anywhere you pointed it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
