Lots to say but:

Really don't feel like saying much.  Found an old friend on FaceBook.  Coumadin was at 3.4 level yesterday.....tad high.

Trying to do the yard work.  what would take me 2-3 hours now takes me 2 days without any beer.  Which reminds me... I have not had any alcohol since 09 July 2010 the day I fell down and played dead.  Hopefully, when I truly get stabalized, I can have me a few Coronas.

Makes me smile

Don't know exactly why but this always makes me smile.

Been a week

Been a week or so since last posting but last week had a a pretty nice day.  Took the dog to the groomer and once I picked him up decided to (just for the heck of it) take him to a doggy park several miles from the house.  I don't know if it was more fun for him or myself but he was kinda afraid of some of the smaller larger dogs.  Probably need to take him more than once n a while for the socialization aspects of it.  Besides a bottle of water I took the Kindle also but never did get a chance to start reading.  Met a lady with 2 standard schnauzers an boy were they full of pep and zest.  Supposedly there is another dog park in Rio Rancho but have not checked it out.  Tomorrow I have to get blood drawn again but am not going to do it at the cancer center.  Ran it thorough the blood docs nurse, after telling her I would never get my blood drawn at her facility ever again, so she ensured I am in the system and can get it drawn in the Pres facility in Rio rancho.

Felt like an adult saturday night.  Had friends over for dinner and ended up a nice evening.

5 April

Yesterday had an echo done on heart.  Today to get the results.  Small bit of info.  On the first part of October last year my  ejection fraction was at 35% but on the latter part of October last year, after being in the emergency room for low electrolytes, my ejection fraction sank to 20%.  Hopefully today the heart doc will say it is a little higher.  The higher it gets the better chance they will work on the unblocking the femoral  caused but the last operation for the short bowel.
Also had blood drawn today and damned if I did not get the same butcher as before and darned if she did not whack me again.  It will be the last time I get my blood drawn at the cancer center.

3 April

Day started off fairly well.  Got out and went to Sam's club to pick up items including my beloved mexican coke.  Also pick up a pair of shorts with a 32" waist.  Far cry from the 36"-38" waists I used to wear. 

As a treat before heading home stopped in Subway and got a cold cut 6" sandwich.  Had mayo and pickle on it and ended up with a reaction.  Made the reaction worse by attempting to spread fertilizer on the yards and I must have twisted or stressed my insides. Diarrhea came back.  Ok this morning.

April Fools day

Nothing special to talk about with one exception.  For breakfast I had cereal which means I had 1% milk with it.  Will see how my body reacts to it.  If a reaction then I will take a lactaid pill or two and try it again.  Am actually hoping I don't have an adverse reaction to the milk.
