6 Dec 11 - Doctor today.

Stats:  WT:  149.0  Blood Pressure114/55 pulse of 90.

The morning shitz was OK as far as I'm concerned.  Took place at 0745 hours and was exceptionally thick.  Thick pudding that built upward instead of flattening out.  Anyway no complaints.

Regarding yesterdays post... I am still in pain although Aleve is taking the edge off.  Concerned what the Primary Care Physician (PCP) is going to have me do.

Last 2 days have been filled with snow... which sucks. See the pics:



Even though we are to get more snow it is gradually melting away.


Had to go to the heart doc yesterday to get both sides of my neck scanned to see if the blockages (Build up) has gotten worse or if the blood flow is being really restricted.  Will know when I see the doc in the upcoming week or so.

5 Dec 11 - Monday - Snow Day

Stats:  Weight is 149.4.  It is around 930 as I write this so I have no morning constitutional and quite a few cups of coffee plus my morning pills and Metamucil.

Had an eventful weekend.  Saturday night around 0320/0330 I woke up to pain beyond description it felt I like had stuck a red hot poker stuck in my back and far surpassed even the pain I had had during potassium IVs.
.  What first happened when I woke up I noticed my sleep mask was making a gurgling sound I figured it was because I had set the humidity level way to high and moisture condensed in the hose. The second thing was the pain.  After a great deal of effort I was able to take off the mask and slide over to the machine to shut it off.  The pain was so intense that I could not talk and only groans came out so I tried groaning to help relieve the pain.  No luck there.  For around 1/2 hour my body just shivered (like I had the chills but I was warm) and shook.  I thought I was going to shatter my teeth I was shaking so hard from the pain.  After a while the sounds I was making (grunts/groans) woke my wife up in the other bedroom she tried to help but there literally was nothing she could do ... ....  well almost nothing.  At around 4:15 came close but decided to not call an ambulance or go to the emergency room. (no heart attach symptoms or anything else I was familiar with) other than I had this same type of pain, just not so intense, Thursday/Thanksgiving Day or rather night.

We finally decide to take 2 Advil and again brought up going to the ER.  But as I lay there the body shivering and pain started to diminish.  Around 4:30 or so was like 95% pain free.  Advil made me kinda sluggish and I ended up falling asleep until 0845 and I finally able to walk.

Pain was located just below the ribcage on my left side.  Almost like what a kidney stone pain is described as.  No blood in urine doing great there.

Now when I cough or sneeze I get an immense shooting of pain up my left side until it hits/stops just below the left ear.  Been taking 1 Advil if the pain starts to get too intense.

Running out of steam .. maybe more later.

3 Dec 11 - Carl's Jr

Short one today.
Stats. Wt:  146.8 before shitz, 146.2 after.
BP was 108/46 Pulse 76

The bonus was  - - - The morning constitutional was NORMAL.  This only happens rarely.  Wish I could figure out another word for turds but the turds were about 4 inches long but NORMAL ! !  !

Had snow on the ground ths morning.  Went away by noon but still cold.  Weather reports state we are going to get another storm hitting us.  Just not a fan of snow.

Went to the mall to take advantage of some of the sales going on.  Since my waist went from 38" to 32" needed to buy some pants.  Bought a pair of black corduroy, a nice black and white  sweater vest, long sleeved shirt, and a pull over shirt.  Spent $ 60.00 and they said I saved over a $160.00 so that tells ya that they have been ripping us off all the time trying to gouge the consumer..Well thats how I feel anyway.

Had a sloppy Carl's Jr hamburger, French Fries, and a Milkshake on the way home.  Absolute heaven.

2 Dec 11 - Dead battery

Today's stats:
Weight:  146.2 after the morning shitz
BP:  105/61 Pulse 78

1st shite was at 630 AM then I weighed my self and then 1/2 later had to go again.  The first was chunky tuna and the second was the consistency of rice pudding.  Both are good.

Had to get my blood tested today for my PCP.  Yesterday afternoon I thought I would start the Mazda and lo & behold it had a dead battery.  Now ain't that the shitz! !   My fault really; I had not started the vehicle in about 2 weeks, should have figured this would happen.  Put my murdercycle's battery charger on it but by the time my wife came home it still had not charged sufficiently enough to even roll over.  So when she got home I jump started it.  Left it run for a little bit then drove it about 5 miles.  Made kinda of a circle around my house and even went past the new hospital on Unser and Westside drive.  About 9 PM I started it again and then this morning at 7 AM to ensure it would start.  Battery got a good charge in it this morning by going to the clinic, Krispy Kreme, gas station and home again.

Yeah, I took a coupon to the doughnut shop and got a coffee and a holiday 'nut.  Plus I bought a sour creme one to boot.  Bought the local newspaper and was gonna read it while having the coffee and doughnut but changed my mind.  The flippin place was packed and this is at 11AM.  Someone even had their 6 kids there.  Not to be mean but putting sugar into these kids mouth was an evil thing to do.  One of the munchkins had a perfect oval around his mouth from the icing.  She, the mother, probably could not figure out why her darlings were running around a screaming like little animals.  Needless to say but no reading was accomplished.  Ate the doughnuts and left.  Was proud of myself for not starting a confrontation although there was another gentleman who told one of the kids to leave him alone and get back to his mother.  I almost said good job.

Still wonder how long it will be before someone I know discovers this site.  Maybe more later.

1 Dec 11

Cannot believe it is the first of December already.  Time is just flying past me............

Stats this AM:
Blood Pressure first time was 101/40 did it 5 minutes later was 108/43 pulse 78.  Fairly consistent.

Weight before poop was 148.2  and after was 147.  1.2 pounds might not sound like a lot but every ounce is important to me.  So far this morning I have went to the bathroom 2 times and I weigh right now @ 0925 hrs 147.4

8 AM - Breakfast consisted of a bowl of instant oatmeal and 4 pieces of toast with butter and peanut butter.

Supposed to get a cold front in and am not looking forward to that.  I have to go out this week and get blood work done.  Hope it does not snow.

I'm getting frustrated with words with friends because I am getting my ass kicked all over the place.
