*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Well…I got a lapel pin in the mail….. I didn’t ask for it….. It was a bit startling and a surprise….. …..just when did THAT happen(?)….. …..Fifty frigging years(!?!)….. You gotta warn someone…before they unsuspectingly go to their mailbox and open up an unassuming envelope(!)….. I guess it’s been that long…I suppose it would be easy enough to figure out with basic arithmetic….. …..(I don’t want to)…(but that does explain a lot of…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** No one wants to hear about cranky/old people’s renditions of their health and surgical sagas….. No one….. …………………so I’ll be brief………………… I’m here….. I’m vertical…… I’m (semi) coherent….. …..(but that’s not related to recent hospital “procedures”)….. Sooooo…I guess it’s fair to say…that’s a plus…right(?)….. Things were cauterized…(again)….. …..I know I shook up a couple surgical nurses when I said I had four titanium joints….. It made them put on their thinking-caps on how…

Well, it’s put back together and fixed. I didn’t fix it. But…..I was responsible for taking it apart in the first place. I was too embarrassed to ask for help. I had to make sure that if I was going to look foolish…..it had to be with people I respect….. …..with an expertise that I obviously didn’t have….. …..and tolerance for my numb-skullishness. You see, I took apart my .38 revolver to clean it….. …..it gets dirty in Patrice’s pocket…..and…

Let’s cut to the skinny… All four artificial joints are still fine and in good order and stuck where they should be… …..and I don’t have to go back for another three years…….if everything stays copasetic…….(HA!) And that’s just great. But like I said…….I don’t like medical tests and appointments and the related-whatnots…   ~~~~~Here’s an example of what had to occur prior to today’s appointment~~~~~ …….mouths need feeding before anything else can occur on any given day……. …….no actually,…

Good Friends/Old Friends

  This purgative blog-thing has allowed me to re-connect with a few old friends. And that’s really cool… Over the years I’ve had the good fortune of finding a handful of people who, even if they aren’t total kindred spirits, they are (at the very least) tolerant of me…   Quite often, that’s not easy.   To the friends I see regularly and the friends I haven’t seen for many years……………..I’d like to say thank you.   You’ve been appreciated…

  I’ve been riding a lot recently………………..well, a lot for me. I’ve been Hunting more than I ever have in the past.  Body and horse willing, I intend to keep up this agenda. Any day now the sore body and sore muscles and sore joints should start subsiding………………….any day now………………..any day now. I don’t understand why some of my toes on my feet are remaining numb———–to varying degrees………………depending on which toe. My boots are very stiff.  They were bargain basement…

The dishwasher is now on the fritz.  So I’m standing at the sink doing dishes.  I’m looking out the window.  And here comes Ben, our new Irish Wolfhound puppy, trotting onto the back porch, proudly dangling a dead rat by it’s tail from his mouth. We live in a swamp……….on a farm……….there’s dribbled food for various farm animals everywhere.  So, of course we have rats.  In fact we have a variety of rats.  Our rats are multi-generational……….I catch them and…

  The stronger bit for Violet has arrived!  HA!  Horse! Try spinning me off again! But before that, Ruby will be my steed.  But Ruby is “barn sour”, “pasture sour”, “herd bound”, “buddy sour”………………….by any name, it’s a pain.  And it’s a sorrow. I haven’t ridden regularly for so long, they have all gotten used to reclining in the pasture, eating alfalfa and bon-bons…………………..while sipping on sweet tea.       And then I get my last (hopefully) joint replaced…

  IT’S TIME. I need to re-initiate my friendship with Dr. Atkins.  I like any diet where bacon is celebrated.  For me……………where dieting is concerned……………..Dr. Atkins & I are buds.  My geriatric pudge needs to go. And NO I don’t do the sensible, healthy fat version of the good Doctor’s bill of fare……………………..Dr. Atkins and I do not beach comb on South Beach.  Nope.  No hand-in-hand beach skipping for us.  Ta!  La! It’s all heavy whipping cream, bacon, well-marbled steak…
