    Hi everyone,

    Looks like I'll be spending another week in the hospital but for two very
    good reasons. The first is that I am finally getting treated for the
    systemic MRSA infection I picked up from being hospitalized here about
    12-13 years ago; I am being pumped full of vancomycin, a powerful antibiotic that is available via IV only. The second is the VA is going to remove my
    last six teeth and, if things go well, pay to have a set of full dentures
    for my mouth.

    It would be nice to be able to eat after about 30 years' worth of pain.

    As for my heart surgery, after all of the above, I am waiting for an ulcer
    to heal on the bottom of my foot that was caused by an infection I picked up just before Thanksgiving in the US last year. Once that is good, I will be cleared to have my triple bypass.

    While I am a little nervous about everything, I know I am on the right
    course for the second 50 years of my life.

    Hello All,

    I had my last six teeth and nine sets of tooth roots removed today. In pain but glad it is done. It looks like they are going to try to get me in for open heart surgery in the next couple of days due to worsening conditions in my heart. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I am really stressed out right now.

    Look at the birgh side. You can convince everybody that, since you no longer have teeth, your only option is to feed off soup. Such as the distiled corn soup you have in that bottle labeled as "bourbon"

    Yeah, I know, I am very bad at cheering people up :-P

    Hi everyone,

    I just talked to my heart surgeon and due to where the blockages are in my heart, they cannot do bypass surgery. They will be talking to the surgeon
    that runs the cath lab to see if they can put stents in instead. The onus
    of my recovery is going to be on me.

    Yep. But it requires I undergo stent replacement every five to seven years.

    Though if I get myself together and get healthier, I may not need stents again...that's what I hope anyway.

    "and get healthier" ..may be the key. I have an aunt that
    underwent unclogging of one her carotid arteries. I think it
    was the one on the right-side. She has been a chain-smoker
    most of her life. The doc said to quit that shit, and stop
    topping up everything with mayonnaise at every meal. She paused
    smoking while the neck scar was healing, but she soon resumed
    after that. That was about 20 years ago. She was only 60
    then. She never adjusted her eating plan to help avoid further
    problems. But she DID start to develop arthritis about 8 years
    after surgery, continued to smoke (and even resorted to the
    cheaper ones from a native reserve - to "save" money) ..but is
    now essentially house-bound, needs a walker, is practically in
    constant pain and cannot go out anywhere unless there is a LOT
    of assistance. Sadly, she did not get herself "together".

    At one point I started to develop arthiritic symptoms too. But
    looking into it, I discovered there was a strong correlation
    with too much potassium. Once I reduced potassium significantly
    (apparently my body cannot tolerate more than 1 banana per day)
    ..the arthritic episodes disappeared. That was 8-10 years ago.

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you all for the warm wishes. I am doing better for the most part
    except it went into my lungs. Still have bad coughing spasms, severe congestion, and I've completely lost my voice and can barely talk.
    Plus, like I said to Shawn, I've got these COVID headaches from hell
    that knock me flat on my ass.

    Like the last time I had COVID, my senses of taste annd smell were not affected. I don't know why.

    This too shall pass but I wish it'd pass a little faster.

    with me i lose my senses every time.
    things have changed for good i guess. bottled water tastes different to me and many foods taste bland except for sweets. during covid all i could taste was sweets.

    i also would get brain fog, depression and i would be angry for many weeks.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm writing this after suffering an episode of hypoglycemia and waiting for my body to adjust after eating a snack. I am still in the hospital but going home later today finally. They kept me overnight to see how I would do with the medication readjuastment and so far, so good.

    Long story short: due to several factors, my kidneys decided to just stop working. They went very acidic and my potassium level rose to a near-toxic level. I was pumped full of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) via IV for several days. It worked, thankfully, and I am back to "normal", whatever that is...

    I learned that kidneys will produce sodium bicarbonate if they are stressed out. I didn't know that. Just proves you always can learn something new!

    My parents will be picking me up to take me home later today. I'm looking forward to getting back home and getting my little apartment ready for the upcoming holiday season. Already bought some nice Christmas cards (I am old-fashioned).

    Good to hear! I too love the holiday season and doing some prep for it.
    I don't decorate much, but I pack my DVR with holiday shows/movies.

    Hi Kevin,

    Good to hear! I too love the holiday season and doing some prep for it.
    I don't decorate much, but I pack my DVR with holiday shows/movies.

    I bought a pre-lit 3' tall Christmas tree that I Didn't put up last year but I will this year. Need to get more ornaments for it. Probably will hit up Hobby Lobby for those since HL has good sales. Might get a wreath to hang on my door also. I am a real sap for the holiday season; I always have been.

    I am not so much a Halloween person though I do enjoy the fall/harvest season celebration.

    I'm hoping to corral my parents, my sister, her boyfriend, and my nephew into my tiny apartment for Thanksgiving.

    Christmas I usually spend alone either having a Christmas lunch (usually an oven-baked Stouffer's lasagna; a tradition I started in the Army) or, if I can get there, going to Waffle House for a Christmas lunch though if I am alone, I prefer to stay home.

    New Year's Eve I'm at home watching TV with a pizza and snacks and nhanging out online. I do not go out on NYE anymore after losing my youngest stepsister to a drunk driver in 2003 and nearly losing my stepfather to a drunk driver later that same year.

    I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Instead, I celebrate Singles' Awareness Day. LOLOLOL

    Nice, my first year after the divorce I got a nice artificial tree and
    did it up nice, but after thing I was needing space, so these days I
    don't put any tree up. I do have a "Charlie Brown" tree that I can put
    up, but I haven't the last few years.

    I am not so much a Halloween person though I do enjoy the fall/harvest season celebration.

    I don't like Halloween it self, but I like the shows associated with
    it. Not horror or scarey stuff, just the comedy stuff. And the candy
    corn is nice :)

    Very Nice! I'll be heading to Austin to visit my parents and one sister
    is usually there as well.

    Christmas I usually spend alone either having a Christmas lunch

    That's a good idea, I usually spend Christmas alone too, especially
    when it is in the middle of the week. I need to start a tradition like
    that. I'll have to think of something I really enjoy.

    Sorry to hear that, same here otherwise, I hate going out on NYE. I
    usually get a cheese assortment and crackers and watch movies. And then
    I am typically in bed by 9pm or so and sleep through the new year :P

    I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Instead, I celebrate Singles' Awareness Day. LOLOLOL

    There ya go! I am with you on that one.

    I have friends who think I am weird for liking candy corn. What do they
    know?

    I'm hoping to pull Thanksgiving off. Might be like pulling hen's teeth.

    The lasagna started out of desperation and something that would be easy
    to make and easy to clean up. Now it's just become a source of comfort
    in a life full of change.

    I have not been one to ring in NYE with a party since I got out of the
    Army. The older I get, the more I avoid people.

    There ya go! I am with you on that one.

    February 15 is like November 1 for me: time to get some good candy at a
    steep discount. I might get some for the deep freeze even.

    I love it as well, and the pumpkins too. I've had to cut down on them,
    but I buy a small back of each and spread it out over the month of
    Octobert.

    Yup, sounds good too. I haven't had Lasagna in a while, so I might so
    something like that myself. And get some frozen Texas Garlic Toast as
    well. Thanks for the idea!

    Another good idea, maybe I can find some cheap chocolate covered
    strawberries! :)

    I was looking at an online ad for Target and they're having a sale right
    now on their Brach's "Autumn Mix" and candy corn. I was planning on
    going there today via my scooter so might bet a bag of each.

    Sure thing. Talking to you reminded me of that. :P

    Hopefully the price on berries overall will drop by then...they aren't
    cheap. :(
