Started to vacuum the family room so turned on Netflix and started to watch a movie entitled Exiled. Talk about a real shoot 'em up. Blood spray well done.
Had to stop running the vacuum and sit down and watch it. 50 times better than Apollo 18, even with the english captioning.

Apollo 18 - post # 2 for the day
Watched Apollo 18 this morning. 3 things.
1. - I'm sorry I bought the Blu-ray edition,
2. - I'm sorry I bought it at all,
3. - I fell asleep watching it.
****************************************************************
IMDB synopsis
Decades-old found footage from NASA's abandoned Apollo 18 mission, where two American astronauts were sent on a secret expedition, reveals the reason the U.S. has never returned to the moon.
In December, 1973, the crew of the previously-cancelled Apollo 18 mission is informed that the mission is a go, though it has now been deemed a top secret Department of Defense mission. Commander Nathan Walker (Lloyd Owen), Lieutenant Colonel John Grey (Ryan Robbins) and Captain Benjamin Anderson (Warren Christie) are launched towards the Moon to place detectors to alert the United States of any impending ICBM attacks from the USSR.
Grey remains in orbit aboard the Freedom Command/Service module while Walker and Anderson land on the moon in the lunar module Liberty. While planting one of the detectors, the pair take samples of moon rocks. While attempting to sleep, the pair hear noises outside and a camera captures a small rock moving nearby. Houston (Andrew Airlie's voice) claims the noises are interference from the ICBM detectors. Anderson finds a rock sample on the floor of Liberty despite having secured the samples. During further exploration they discover footprints that lead them to a Soviet LK lander nearby, finding it functional but blood-stained. Anderson follows tracks leading into a dark crater and finds a dead cosmonaut. Walker queries Houston about the Soviet presence but is told only to continue with the mission.

run for the wall -21 May 12
Had a nice weekend... was lazy and did not do too much.
The run for the wall is happening again and with that in mind......
Last night was not the best of nights. Woke up at whatever time and had a "midnight" snack of a glass of milk and 2 sandwiches. Comes 3 AM and my butt hole hurts and I'm ferociously passing gas ferociously. Only one thing to do so I went to the bathroom. Was in there for at least 1/2 hour. When done kinda hurt. Just the lucky life I live I guess.
Stray thought..... Sometimes I laugh so hard tears run down my leg.

Movie-Friday #2
Just finished watching Colombiana. What a cool little revenge flick. Zoe Saldana makes skinny sexy... She was good.
Friday and Breakfast and a movie
As a side note having nothing to do with today. After a couple of hours messing with the blogs' layout yesterday, I figured out how to have music play while someone is reading this drivel. Emotional high spot ! !
***********************************************************
Unusual for me but I cooked, for lack of a better description, breakfast this morning. Make a 3 egg, ham and cheese, omelet. Along with the eggs I had buttered toast and orange juice. Seriously breakfast, most of the time, is cereal, cream of wheat, oatmeal, and sometimes chicken noodle soup. So again this was unusual for me to do.
***************************************************************
Did the dishes and then watched a movie called "The Darkest Hour". Description taken from IMDB:
**************************************************************
Not a bad little sci-fi movie. Well, at least, I liked it.
As an added bonus this morning's constitutional was about 90% normal another unusual occurrence. I would post pictures but even I'm not that gross. Makes me feel almost normal.
Maybe more later.

Intimate bathroom time
One of those "things" I've dreaded happening to me happened tonight at 10:15 or so and that was I shit myself. I have/had drunk a lot of water today that contained crystal light - must have been all the sugar, and that might have been why my system was not able to handle it. (Although, drinking Mexican coke with real sugar does not have that kind of affect one me.) I was/have been going to the bathroom once an hour for a least 7 hours with it being basically colored water and minimal particulate matter. Enough so that my hemorrhoid decided to pop out and started to bleed again.
Anyway went to bed at around 9:30, after the sleeping pill started to kick in, so was not able to finish watching the season ending episode of NCIS: LA. At 1015 the pressure at the butt hole had increased enough to wake me up.
I hurriedly slipped off the apnea mask and started walking to the bathroom but it started leaking out of me about 3/4 of the; thankfully nothing leaked onto the carpet. I was able to contain it by grabbing the boxer shorts legs to keep it off the carpeting but by the time I hit the tile in the bathroom it could not be staved off. Needless to say the bathroom floor, the exterior of the commode, my rear, my legs, and the commode interior got coated with excrement. Disgusting Disgusting Disgusting
Now its 1130 PM I've had a shower, the commode has thoroughly been cleaned, along with the tiled floor in the bathroom.
This is the first time since leaving the hospital in August 2010 that this has happened. At least the humiliation was contained to the house. Wife does not even know about it yet. Will probably tell her in the morning.
So now here sitting and drinking a mexican coke and thinking about getting something to eat. Edit: Ended up making 2 ham sandwiches.
How crazy is my F'd up life. At least if I would have had cancer I would have totally recovered or totally died not this piss ant lingering life I now lead. AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! ! !!

15th of May- - Tuesday - Grass
Short note maybe more later. forgot to weigh myself this AM. Now it is 1015 hrs. had 3 bowel movements this morning. Almost made me not do anything but since no pain no problem.
East side of the house, the side with the 3 Blue Spruce trees I planted grass seed in the bare spots. So got to wait another 3 weeks to see if this seeding takes root. So to speak.
Using this
will hopefullybe become this
Not much was accomplished with the cancer/blood doc yesterday. Am going to restart the liquid iron into my system then 6 weeks go back and be tested. If iron levels are OK they are OK an nothing more to be done. If not OK then the decision to either infuse or infuse with the bone marrow testing. Am probably wrong but I don't think this doctor believes my iron levels are low because the short intestine. I think his specialty blood cancers are overshadowing the short bowel syndrome. We will see.

Monday the 14th
Sunday did the yards - weed whacked and mowed. Did not hurt too much. Must mean I'm re-building some muscle....I hope.
Picked up 3 DVDs tday. 1-Underworld: Awakening
&
2-Columbiana
&
3-Apollo 18
Have a blood doctor's appointment today. My problem: With aplastic anemia, the bone marrow doesn't make red blood cells. Reason for that is I don't absorb enough of whatever because only 6 ft. of intestine. Malnourishment. So wonder if he is going to talk infusion or bone marrow testing. Don't know but I am leaning towards an infusion.Extra info - -
The two bone marrow tests are aspiration (as-pih-RA-shun) and biopsy.
Bone marrow aspiration usually is done first. For this test, your doctor removes a small sample of fluid bone marrow through a needle. He or she may have some idea of what the problem is, and the sample gives him or her useful information about the cells in the marrow.
A bone marrow biopsy is the followup test. It's done to provide more information about your cells. Also, a biopsy is done if your doctor wants to examine the bone marrow structure itself. For this test, your doctor uses a needle to remove a sample of bone marrow tissue.
Let us just hope neither is required but as I said just do an infusion ! ! ! !

Friday.. In some pain
What a beautiful day; unfortunately I am not enjoying it very much. In a lot of pain due diarrhea all last night and today. Even prep h is not helping and the one hemorrhoid is the size of my thumb. Lordy Lordy but I do hurt. Honestly 'tis my fault. Sometime early last night, I think around midnight, I got up and had two bowls of cereal as the night time munchies. Super mistake.
Coumadin level was a 2.9, so so but I don't have to go back and get it checked until the 31st of the month. Getting better.
After the wife came home yesterday we went to Walgreens to pick up some drugs, Pet smart for doggie treats and dog food, and finally to Sam's Club. Picked up some AA batteries, 2 big bags of mulch, and another hose reel like the one I bought a week or so ago. While we were there we spent an additional $4.60 for 3 Nathan's hot dogs and 2 large sodas. A sumptuous feast in my book ! ! !

Nice lady
Should have done this a week ago! ! ! Wife works at a rehabilitation center and was in a conversation with either the head cook or one of them. Wife was talking about what I am not able to eat, things like raw vegetables, which leaves out salads (whoever thought I would be the one to say I miss salads) which my system cannot process among other items. Mind you I can eat anything I want but I pay for it by not being digested and passing straight through my system.
Wife goes in to work the next day and the lady brings her 5 huge Ziploc bags filled with different kinds of pasta salads. I swear there must have been 10 to 12 pounds of food there. Tuna pasta salad, pasta salad with grapes and pineapple, pasta salad with different kinds of cheese and I forget the other two.
Wife asked her how much it cost and the lady got offended ! ! ! I guess she loves to cook, and believe me, it was reflected in all food she made. Lip smakin goot ! ! ! Except there was no broccoli (horrid . . horrid .. vegetable) which I guess tyhe wife told here I disliked with a passion.
!
Hard to believe there a folks like that left in this world. Yea sure everyone you talk to say they are that type of person but it is nothing more than the mouth moving and no truth behind it. Anyway what a wonderful and kind lady.
From what I have been given to understand she will just decide to make something and she ends up making a lot of it and her neighbors become the recipients. Damn sure will never turn down any type of food she gives me. grin

thursday-coumadin appt.
Gotta get my blood checked today. Curious to what the coumadin level will be. Have been fighting to get it back down to 2.5.

Know it sounds infantile but I love..LOVE.. I say..... my 2001 FLSTS . Just hope I can get my body back into a condition I can start riding again. Even though the Doctor's (all of them) say it is an extremely bad idea to start riding again. Kills me beyond belief...
Being cleaned up after a trip.
As an aside, means nothing to anyone unless you are an Heritage Springer Owners Association (HSOA) member, as I am, and this ring brought up in a discussion.
Check this website out. What a cool ring.

The Most Persuasive Case for Eliminating Black Studies? Just Read the Dissertations.
April 30, 2012, 10:24 pm
You’ll have to forgive the lateness but I just got around to reading The Chronicle’s recent piece on the young guns of black studies. If ever there were a case for eliminating the discipline, the sidebar explaining some of the dissertations being offered by the best and the brightest of black-studies graduate students has made it. What a collection of left-wing victimization claptrap. The best that can be said of these topics is that they’re so irrelevant no one will ever look at them.
That’s what I would say about Ruth Hayes’ dissertation, “‘So I Could Be Easeful’: Black Women’s Authoritative Knowledge on Childbirth.” It began because she “noticed that nonwhite women’s experiences were largely absent from natural-birth literature, which led me to look into historical black midwifery.” How could we overlook the nonwhite experience in “natural birth literature,” whatever the heck that is? It’s scandalous and clearly a sign that racism is alive and well in America, not to mention academia.
Then there is Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of “Race for Profit: Black Housing and the Urban Crisis of the 1970s.” Ms. Taylor believes there was apparently some kind of conspiracy in the federal government’s promotion of single family homes in black neighborhoods after the unrest of the 1960s. Single family homes! The audacity! But Ms. Taylor sees that her issue is still relevant today. (Not much of a surprise since the entirety of black studies today seems to rest on the premise that nothing much has changed in this country in the past half century when it comes to race. Shhhh. Don’t tell them about the black president!) She explains that “The subprime lending crisis, if it did nothing else, highlighted the profitability of racism in the housing market.” The subprime lending crisis was about the profitability of racism? Those millions of white people who went into foreclosure were just collateral damage, I guess.
But topping the list in terms of sheer political partisanship and liberal hackery is La TaSha B. Levy. According to the Chronicle, “Ms. Levy is interested in examining the long tradition of black Republicanism, especially the rightward ideological shift it took in the 1980s after the election of Ronald Reagan. Ms. Levy’s dissertation argues that conservatives like Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, John McWhorter, and others have ‘played one of the most-significant roles in the assault on the civil-rights legacy that benefited them.’” The assault on civil rights? Because they don’t favor affirmative action they are assaulting civil rights? Because they believe there are some fundamental problems in black culture that cannot be blamed on white people they are assaulting civil rights?
Seriously, folks, there are legitimate debates about the problems that plague the black community from high incarceration rates to low graduation rates to high out-of-wedlock birth rates. But it’s clear that they’re not happening in black-studies departments. If these young scholars are the future of the discipline, I think they can just as well leave their calendars at 1963 and let some legitimate scholars find solutions to the problems of blacks in America. Solutions that don’t begin and end with blame the white man.
And their response.. To see Chronicle editors’ final response to the above post, please read “A Note to Readers.”
AND yes I blatantly stole this story and when they (whomever they are) yell at me I will remove it.
QUESTION:::::: Shouldn't everyone have the right to view or read all viewpoints and that was all it was just a viewpoint. So now they pushed me over the edge and I won't be so open minded on this subject any more... so there.
BTW..She is married to a black man. Damn but she sure is prejudiced..

Friday... 4 May 12
Guess I went a little overboard yesterday on my venting. Let myself get a little angry. oh well.
Have a doctor's appointment today. My primary. Now who is she again? Been so long since I've had to see her, been at least a year, well maybe not that long but almost. Heck, while in the hospital for a week in December, I never even heard from her. Good system or is it just very few Doctor's want to come to New Mexico. Guess they can't make the shekels here...
BTW:
shitz

Trust issues..
Hit another high regarding weight today. 140 pounds even.... dang ! ! Thats' 15 lbs in a month. WoW . . . . .
Let me tell you a little story about trust. If you, by chance, have read any of my previous postings, you will remember the ones about ************************************************************
**********************************************************
Anyway. ********************************************
SB has become everything he, and I still do, ever hated growing up and that is fanatical over the top christianism. So every time he txt messages me I get biblical quotes and every time he calls and leaves me a message it is a sermon. I just don't need or want my life complicated with or by fanatical pseudo christian fanatics.
Ok the point of this story is I get a txt message out of the blue (May 2nd) from my HS saying, and I quote:
....... ""Hope u were not offended I gave SB your number... He is like how SS was with me. he just wants a relationship with his brother... I remember you saying you had respect for him.. OK. Have a good day."" end quote.
Wonder where that came from or what drove her to text me that message... Oh yeah I remember, asked my SS to not say anything. Gee talk about trust.......
Maybe she should look in the damn mirror and start to truly re-evaluate her own damn life and not try to complicate others. It is just one txt msg or voice message away from locking them all out again. Maybe HS would want me to say something to the supposed molester so that they can work things out. Doesn't she have an understanding of what trust is all about... DAMN DAMN...
I have been super successful over the years in staying out of the family drama and but as soon as I open myself up a little bit look what happens.....
Forewarned is forearmed
Saw an odd little movie called Shadowboxer. It is a thriller saturated in sex and violence, is an extravagance that leaves you with your mouth hanging open — partly in admiration of its audacity and partly in disbelief at its craziness. Playing one of the most unlikely couples in screen history, Helen Mirren and Cuba Gooding Jr. are Rose and Mikey, contract killers and lovers living in Philadelphia who happen to be stepmother and stepson.

My weight is climbing am 137 now. Really odd in that I am starting to put the weight on. Makes me feel good but am waiting for something bad to happen. For every step in a forward direction I end up taking 2 backwards.
Was a nice weekend. Did yard work and physically did not hurt too bad. Grass is starting to show in those places I had replanted. Threw the ball with the doggie... I don't know who has more fun the dog or myself. Weather is starting to become really nice. Just warm enough.
Still have not had a beer.. been since 09 July 2010 since I've had any and am so looking forward to my first one ! ! ! ! ! !
Talked with my brother-in-law Saturday for over an hour. I goofed up once and said something along the lines of "you guys" but I don't know if he caught it or not. The wife did. It is coming up on a year since my sister died and I really do miss her and you could not ask for a better man than Glenn.
Bought a hose cart from Sam's club on Friday. Long story short was not all there and had to take it back and get another one. Ends up took about 1/2 hour to assemble it but it really helps clean up the look on the west side of the house.

Daughter's and brothers b'day
Today, the 23rd of April is my daughter's birthday and coincidentally my brother's also. Did the facebook b'day wishes plus got them cards also.
Took the wife's car to Jiffy Lube and then had it washed and detailed. Looks like a new car.
Filling out the paperwork to claim property, of some sort, being held by the state of Ohio in my mother's name. She died in December 1982. Sent the info to my brother but he did not want to, or even care to see what it was so I decided to do the paperwork and see what happens. Am curious what
"OTHER INT PROP IN SAFEKEEPING". Is it just paperwork that was in a safety deposit box? Don't think it is any sort of money or it would have be defined by the State of Ohio's unclaimed stuff web page info.
Oh well. tomorrow is my birthdayand maybe we will go to Sam's club for the hot dogs.

"OTHER INT PROP IN SAFEKEEPING". Is it just paperwork that was in a safety deposit box? Don't think it is any sort of money or it would have be defined by the State of Ohio's unclaimed stuff web page info.
Oh well. tomorrow is my birthdayand maybe we will go to Sam's club for the hot dogs.

Stupid blogger programmers
These stupid assed smucks changed the way this blog looks and how it works. Didn't they ever hear of the KISS principle? Keep It Simple Stupid................ sheesh.... now to figure out to get it back to what I can understand.
Well I found out how to revert to the old interface and did. Now to see how long it will last like that before more forced changes occur.
Had a really bad night last night. Up at midnight snacking and that was really the wrong thing to do. Had to go to the bathroom once every hour. Ass started to hurt, could not get any sleep, and stomach just gurgling beyond belief...Am so tired today. had just a small glass of milk and some toast for breakfast. Hopefully will not have to go to the bathroom to often.

Taxes 18 Apr 12
Nothing to really report or gossip or talk about. Tried to do more research on Short Bowel/Gut syndrome. Found another website but nothing dedicated to us short bowel folks. What is it? Are we so few in number that no time or effort is being expended on our behalf? Oh well.
Weighed 133.8 this morning so it has been 6 days in a row that I have weighed over 130 pounds. Pretty cool even if I do say so myself.
Slept a full 8 hours last night. Yep that means I never had to get up and go to the bathroom !! !! What a pleasurable experience.!.!.!
Had 4 pieces of toast for breakfast with Nutella on them. Thought I would keep it light this morning.

Wife bought it the other day and I have not had it in over 50 years and had literally forgotten on how good it tasted. Lip smacking good.
Also first time in over 25 years we are getting tax money back from the feds. Weird feeling to get instead of giving. Still had to pay the state though.
Saw where the Secret Service is going to investigate Ted Nugent... they should go back to more partying instead of investigating something or someone so stupid. Who really gives a rat's rectum about Obama or Nugent for that matter. Sheesh.
Yesterday I was able to run the weed whacker around the yard and then fertilize it. Wore me out. Got to try and build up my stamina and regain some muscle. The last round in the hospital just knocked me for a loop.

Weight 13 April 2012 - edited to take meaness out..
Finally hit the 130 lb mark. 131.8 to be exact. Must be those midnight ham sandwiches. Kinda odd though because I have been not sleeping well because of getting up to go to the bathroom. Must be those midnight snacks... grin
Of noteworthy note. Sister has not called me in a few weeks. ......................................... Sure is odd. Leads ....................................... Mean of me to say ............................
............................................................................................
Too mean on my part? probably but is the truth.
Was gonna try and work in the yard today but is chilly to me so going to stay inside.
Coumadin level was 3.8 yesterday. Made another adjustment to the meds. see what happens in 2 weeks.

2 April 2012
Why oh why did I not listen to those that told me "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1" was so bad. Truly 1 hour and 57 minutes wasted... UGH.
Sunday I weighed over 130 lbs. 130.8 to be exact. Then I don't know what happened but my body rejected me and overnight I lost almost 2 pounds. Primarily water... darn... darn.
Sunday we watched Bing and Hope in The Road to Bali. Never used to find that simplistic of a movie to be funny but it is/was. Found myself laughing out loud a couple of times.
Still trying to figure out what my sister's angle was or is. Was so successful in staying out of the family drama for so many years to get embroiled back in it. Not gonna do it .... not gonna do it.

17 Mar 12 - Sleep
Took shower and getting ready to go to the sleep center to renew my prescription for the mask. Gotta say it does work but want to try other types of masks. Since I lost an additional 20+ pounds current mask does not fit very well and it is a medium.
Then take all my dress shirts, new never worn jeans, and sweaters to Goodwill. Never ever be the 180 to 200 lbs ever again. Hell, maybe even buy some new clothes there.
Then on to an electronics show where maybe we can find a sound bar for the Sony 55".
Amazing what I am able to accomplish in the running around when I don't eat.
Nice looking 1911......
And last but not least am still not able to deal ****************. Wife has been trying to counsel me but I am just not very accepting at the moment.

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
. 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.

30 Nov 11 - all this talk about shitz
Stats this AM:
BP 104/58 Pulse 79 (Wonder how high I can make it go if I drink some really strong coffee)
Shitz occurred 2 times so far today and it is only 0930. Lost a pound on the first one at 0720. I weighed 146.0 after the morning constitutional. Had a bowl of fake/instant oatmeal 0800 then shite again at 0815. this one was also chunks of fecal matter in a little water. Good shitz by my reckoning.
Spent too much time on the words with friends - like I have nothing else to do... Like doing it but it just bugs me.
Figure this one out. My sister gave me a Messianic cross which (supposedly) is a symbol that links Jew and Gentile, the Old and New Testaments, and Judaism and Christianity.

Now, supposedly it was my Mothers or grandmothers. Both had one and my sister that died ended up with both. Now my problem is that if it was my grandmothers it does not make any sense. Supposedly she was Irish and along with her first husband came over on the boat from Ireland. City of Cork/County of Cork with a last name of McDonald. Would that make her a catholic? When he, the upright man that he was, abandoned her and her child (children? - only knew my mother as an only child but who really knows) in St Louis she eventually met the grandfather that I know, John Micsec(k). He, also supposedly, was from Yugoslavia/Austria. So I could see him being Jewish and her wanting to help mesh their beliefs. Just a strange little tale.
Sister and I talked about the family background.
I realised how much I distrusted my brothers view or memories and how colored they were. To bad we can't have these type of conversations. Oh well - -such is life.

Oh well...Maybe more a little later

Tuesday the 24th of November 2011
Another morning, amazingly, I woke up. Some stats you could care less about.
Blood Pressure today: - 125 (Systolic) over 93 (diastolic) with a heart rate of 81. Took it a few minutes later and it was 102/68 HR 74.
Weight today is 147.4 before I took a shitz and that is the highest it has been since July 10th of 2010. Wait until I start describing them-you will be in for a treat because the is no medical terminology I can find to describe the many variations of stools.
Saw Dylan Dog: Dead of Night yesterday. Its the adventures of supernatural private eye, Dylan Dog, who seeks out the monsters of the Louisiana bayou in his signature red shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans.
Wasn't bad but nowhere near as it could have been. I really have become jaded..
More later maybe..
I'm surprised I've done this for two days in a row and wonder how long it will be before a family member finds this (I know I not write any really mean stuff but I wanted to especially since my youngest (full blood) sister' death.. I've had the feeling I should go back through my old posts and remove any truly mean stuff. I'll have to think about it.
Don't know if I said anything before but I am now playing "words with friends" via Facebook. My sister, my brother-in-law, and a friend from Ca.
This is gonna not sound nice but I hope I do not get anymore invitations to play. At one time in my life I could of given a rats ass if I hurt someones feelings. For some reason now I care. I guess a shrink would have fun with that. Maybe dying has something to do with it.

Monday, the 28th of November
Well... "I" had a wonderful time with the sister, brother-in-law, and 3 kids here. I originally thought that the sound levels would kill me but guess what? I adapted well with only one time the doggy got to me. Had friends come over and he just yapped and yapped and I just yelled. Funny but the whole house got quiet and everything was good. Guess when I yelled it released my tension.
Literally ate myself into a daze. Was really worried that eating that much food would give me a terrible case of the diarrhea but that did not happen. Just my normal loose watery shitz.
Heck here is a summary:
19th - Went to the bathroom 11 times - ain't that the shitz! ! !
20th - 5 times
21st - 3 times
22nd - 3 or 4 times
23rd - 4 times
24th - 8 times but I got to say it was not as bad as it looks on paper. All the stools were thick like applesauce and/or pudding ( agood thing)
25th - 6 times
26th - 4 times
27th - 4 times.
28th - today - so far have only went once at 8 AMand it was chunks and heavily colored thick water.
Weight before I went shitz was 147.2 weight after was 146.2. So far today I have ate only a bowl of oatmeal and a poppy seed muffin.
Also got really envious of the I-Pads my sis and bil had. From what my wife tells we cannot afford one because I'm retired.I guess I should have just not have had this money problem -removed because derogatory about being so poor since I retired. Oh well such is life.

19th - Went to the bathroom 11 times - ain't that the shitz! ! !
20th - 5 times
21st - 3 times
22nd - 3 or 4 times
23rd - 4 times
24th - 8 times but I got to say it was not as bad as it looks on paper. All the stools were thick like applesauce and/or pudding ( agood thing)
25th - 6 times
26th - 4 times
27th - 4 times.
28th - today - so far have only went once at 8 AMand it was chunks and heavily colored thick water.
Weight before I went shitz was 147.2 weight after was 146.2. So far today I have ate only a bowl of oatmeal and a poppy seed muffin.
Also got really envious of the I-Pads my sis and bil had. From what my wife tells we cannot afford one because I'm retired.

Not much.."The Blessing of the Thorns"
Really not much to say. REALLY glad my youngest sister, her husband and their 3 kids are coming to visit us over Thanksgiving. With as much has happened to our family over the last 15 months it is a good "thing"! ! !
I'll even add this mushy story because it seem so apropos:
"The Blessing of the Thorns"
Sandra felt as low as the heels on her shoes as she pushed against a November gust and opened the florist shop door. Her life had been easy, like a spring breeze. Then, in the fourth month of her second pregnancy, a minor automobile accident stole her ease.
During this Thanksgiving week, she would have delivered a son. She grieved over her loss. As if that weren’t enough, her husband’s company threatened a transfer. Then, her sister, whose annual holiday visit she coveted, called to say she could not come.
What was worse, Sandra’s friend infuriated her by suggesting her grief was a God-given path to maturity that would allow her to empathize with others who suffer.
She has no idea what I’m feeling. “Thanksgiving? Thankful for what?” she wondered aloud. For a careless driver whose truck was hardly scratched when he rear-ended her? For an airbag that saved her life but took that of her child?
“Good afternoon, can I help you?”
“I....I need an arrangement,” stammered Sandra, “for Thanksgiving.”
“Do you want beautiful but ordinary, or would you like to challenge the day with a customer favorite I call the Thanksgiving Special?” asked the shop clerk. “I’m convinced that flowers tell stories. Are you looking for something that conveys gratitude this Thanksgiving?”
“Not exactly!” Sandra blurted out. “In the last five months, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.”
Sandra regretted her outburst and was surprised when the shop clerk said, “I have the perfect arrangement for you.”
The door’s small bell rang, and the shop clerk said, “Hi, Barbara...let me get your order.” She politely excused herself and walked toward a small workroom, then quickly reappeared, carrying an arrangement of greenery, bows, and long-stemmed thorny roses.
Except the ends of the rose stems were neatly snipped...there were no flowers.
“Want this in a box?” asked the clerk.
Sandra watched for the customer’s response. Was this a joke? Who would want rose stems with no flowers? She waited for laughter but neither woman laughed.
“Yes, please,” Barbara replied with an appreciative smile. “You’d think after three years of getting the special, I wouldn't be so moved by its significance, but I can feel it right here, all over again,” she said, as she gently tapped her chest. She thanked the clerk and left.
“Uhh...” stammered Sandra, “that lady just left with, uhh...no flowers!”
“Right. I cut off the flowers. That’s the Special. I call it the Thanksgiving Thorns Bouquet.”
“Oh, come on, you can’t tell me someone is willing to pay for that?” exclaimed Sandra.
“Barbara came into the shop three years ago feeling very much like you feel today. She thought she had very little to be thankful for. She had lost her father to cancer, the family business was failing, her son was into drugs, and she was facing major surgery.”
“That same year I had lost my husband,” continued the clerk, “and for the first time in my life, I had to spend the holidays alone. I had no children, no husband, no family nearby, and too great a debt to allow any travel.”
“So, what did you do?” asked Sandra.
“I learned to be thankful for thorns,” answered the clerk quietly. “I’ve always thanked God for good things in life and never thought to ask Him why those good things happened to me, but when bad stuff hit, did I ever ask! It took time for me to learn that dark times are important. I always enjoyed the “flowers” of life, but it took “thorns” to show me the beauty of God’s comfort. You know, the Bible says that God comforts us when we’re afflicted, and from His consolation we learn to comfort others.”
Sandra sucked in her breath as she thought about the very thing her friend had tried to tell her. “I guess the truth is I don’t want comfort. I’ve lost a baby and I’m angry with God.”
Just then someone else walked in the shop.
“Hey, Phil!” shouted the clerk to the balding, rotund man.
“My wife sent me in to get our usual Thanksgiving arrangement...twelve thorny, long-stemmed stems!” laughed Phil as the clerk handed him a tissue-wrapped arrangement from the refrigerator.
“Are those for your wife?” asked Sandra incredulously. “Do you mind me asking why she wants something that looks like that?”
“No...I’m glad you asked,” Phil replied. “Four years ago, my wife and I nearly divorced. After forty years, we were in a real mess, but with the Lord’s grace and guidance, we slogged through problem after problem. He rescued our marriage. Jenny here told me she kept a vase of rose stems to remind her of what she learned from “thorny” times and that was good enough for me. I took home some of those stems. My wife and I decided to label each one for a specific problem and give thanks to Him for what that problem taught us.”
As Phil paid the clerk, he said to Sandra, “I highly recommend the special!”
“I don’t know if I can be thankful for the thorns in my life.” Sandra said to the clerk. “It’s all too...fresh.”
“Well, my experience has shown me that thorns make roses more precious. We treasure God’s providential care more during trouble than at any other time. Remember, it was a crown of thorns that Jesus wore so we might know His love. Don’t resent the thorns.”
Tears rolled down Sandra’s cheeks. For the first time since the accident, she loosened her grip on resentment. “I'll take those twelve long-stemmed thorns, please,” she managed to choke out.
“I hoped you would,” said the clerk gently. “I'll have them ready in a minute.”
“Thank you. What do I owe you?” asked Sandra.
“Nothing.” said the clerk. “Nothing but a promise to allow God to heal your heart. The first year’s arrangement is always on me.” She smiled and handed a card to Sandra.
“I'll attach this card to your arrangement, but maybe you’d like to read it first.”
Sandra took the card and read, “Dear God, I have never thanked You for my thorns. I have thanked You a thousand times for my roses, but never once for my thorns. Teach me the glory of the cross I bear; teach me the value of my thorns. Show me that I have climbed closer to you along the path of pain. Show me that, through my tears, the colors of your rainbow look much more brilliant. ~George Matheson”
Jenny said, “Happy Thanksgiving, Sandra,” handing her the special. “I look forward to knowing each other better.”
Sandra smiled. She turned, opened the door, and walked toward hope.
Praise Him for the roses; thank Him for the thorns. God bless all of you. Be thankful for all that the Lord does for you.

Normal??
Had a normal looking, and feeling, bowel movement. I know - - gross huh? So one out of a 100 makes me feel good and gives me further hope.
Saw the cancer/blood doc yesterday. Wants me to try an iron elixir instead of pills before we go to infusing me. Hope the liquid works.
Low on Vit min D and PCP wants me to start taking 2 50K units a week.
Wished they would have been able to let me have at least 2 more feet of intestine and maybe I would not be so anemic. Yeah I know deal with what I got.

been two weeks
Been about two weeks since I wrote anything here. Have the time, have the energy but, just plain and simple, I just get lazy.
Been struggling with going to the bathroom a little too often and then - - wham - - I'm only going twice a day making me almost normal. Wish there was a way to figure out why my body goes crazy and then kinda rights itself.
Missing out on a few things but it doesn't matter.
Saw the following movies:
*** - Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman - 2007 - NetFlix gave it 2 out of 5 I give it a 3.
*** - Himalaya, 1999, NetFlix gives it a 3 out of five but I would give it a 4+.
From the IMDB - - An aging chief's last stand, lessons for the new, and the education of a young chief-to-be played against harsh Nature in Nepal's Dolpo. When his son dies returning from Tibet's salt lakes, Tinle blames Karma, his son's friend, refuses to give Karma his blessing as the new chief, and organizes a rival caravan to take the salt to lower Nepal to trade for grain.
Really rally good but given every ones appetite for the wham bam thank you ma'am type of movies most would not like it at all. Oh well their loss.
*** - Premonition - 2004 - From the IMDB wesite: While stopped at a roadside phone boot for transmitting his work through Internet to the university, Professor Hideki Satomi finds a scrap of newspaper with the picture of his five years old daughter Nana in the obituary. He sees his wife Ayaka Satomi trying to release their daughter from the seat-belt, when a truck without steer hits his car killing Nana. Three years later, Hideki is divorced from Ayaka, who is researching paranormal persons who claim to have read an evil newspaper anticipating the future still trying to believe on Hideki, and she finds that there are people cursed to foresee the future but without power to save the victims. When Hideki changes the future saving Ayaka, he becomes trapped in hell and he has to make a choice of his own destiny. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Another really good horror story. Must be able to read though.
*** - Face - Korean 2004 - Lee Hyun-min, who works reconstructing faces from skull, quits his work in a institute to stay with his Beta-allergic daughter Jin that was submitted to a transplant of heart by the specialist Dr. Yoon.
This is a really really good horror flick I mean really good ! ! !
*** - Ghost of Mae Nak. A young couple reawaken the spirit of a famous old Thai legend. It's OK but what I thought was funny was the sub titles. Filmed in Thailand and in English, it was dubbed into Thai and then subtitles in English were added. Too funny.
*** - Speed of Thought - -Joshua Lazarus has a special gift -- but will this gift destroy him before he can escape to freedom with his newly found soul mate?
Most won't like it but being the sci-fi guy that I am ... really good.. I give it a 4 out of 5.

Friday - 7 October 2011
Coumadin level from yesterday was 2.9. Coumadin doctor thought it was OK and I don’t have to go back for another check for 4 weeks this time. Told her about the weight loss Sunday night via all the water that got pooped out and how bad my body felt all Monday with the body ache. She thought it might have dehydration and now that I think of it she could very well be correct because Tuesday morning I felt OK.
Been raining all morning and COLD. There will no special shape balloons going up this morning. Matter of fact the sun has only shined for about 10 minutes around 10:30 this AM. God but I hate cold weather.
Watched another movie this morning called:
……The Heirloom – 2005 -Horror
A Taiwanese man returns to the island after years abroad when he inherits a house; when he and his fiancé move in, strange things start to happen.
Geez but I don’t know why I like foreign films. Maybe because they take more time fleshing out the characters and story but this was another really good horror story. NetFlix gives it a 2.5 out of five where I would have given it a 3.5 out of 5.
Saw 3 movies yesterday.
Devil’s Den – 2006 - Horror
Two small time drug-dealers cross paths with a female-assassin, a monster hunter, a Japanese swordsman and even the Devil himself at a gentlemen's club housing murderous she-demons.
……NetFlix gives it a 1.5 out of 5 but for what it is ( a B movie) it is worth more than that. Good rainy day filler.
The Feeding – 2006 - Horror
High in the Appalachian Mountains and under a full moon, a timeless evil rises. An awakened predator whose savagery and ferocity are matched only by its insatiable appetite. Consumed by its legendary bloodlust, the creature begins the hunt for its oldest and most dangerous prey: Man.
……NetFlix gives it a 1.5 out of 5 and it is not worth a half star out of 5. Stopped watching after 10 minutes and that is saying something for even me…Ugh
Blood trails - -2007 - Horror
Bike messenger Anne never imagined the horrific events that would unfold after her one-night-stand with stranger Chris.
NetFlix gives it a 1.5 out of 5 but that is way off target. This is a cool horror movie and, of course, I liked it a lot.. heck maybe even 4 stars.

6 Oct 2011 - - #2
Coumadin appointment today at 4 PM. Wonder what it will be. Did a little work in the garage. Mainly trashing stuff. As I told my wife, basically I'm erasing who I am while I'm still alive with everything that I throw away or run through the shredder. It hurts.
Like today I got rid of the face page of the first contract I signed as a Contracting Officer for the Air Force.
************************************************************
Just finished watching Wolf Moon, also known as Dark Moon Rising. 2009 - http://www.darkmoonrisingmovie.com/
- Small-town girl meets mysterious drifter boy, they fall in love. Only in this case, the boy brings with him a family curse and unimaginable horror that rains hell upon the small town.
Hey this was a good little werewolf picture was really surprised by that. It also had a killer 1968 AMX in it...neat. NetFlix gave it 2 out of 5 stars .. sheesh I give it an easy 3.

What a difference the morning bowel movement makes... just can never get over it. Oh well.
Saw 2 movies yesterday.
1st one: Damage with Stone Cold Steve Austin. An ex-con battles it out in the cage to pay for the operation that would save the daughter of his victim. Along the way he finds fatherly love, and friendship, in the most unlikely of places.
Net Flix gave it a 2.7 out of 5 and I'll go along with that. Not the worlds best kinda clunky. good for a time killer.
**************************************************************
2nd one was Black Swarm.
Done in 2007 for TV The widow, Deputy Sheriff Jane Kozik, moves from Manhattan to Black Stone, New York, with her daughter Kelsey Kozik. There she expects to find a safe place to live. The day after moving, a homeless man is found dead in the tool shed of Jane's blind friend Beverly Rowe. Devin Hall and the entomologist Katherine Randell are summoned to help with the investigation. Devin is Jane's brother-in-law and former boyfriend, and Jane still has a crush on him. Meanwhile, Kelsey befriends the scientist Eli Giles, who has developed genetically modified wasps to the army as a weapon, and now he is trying to revert the process. When the wasps attack Black Stone, Jane, Devin and Eli team-up to attempt to destroy the swarm.
Netflix gives it 2 out of 5 stars and I agree. Kinda neat twist about the zombies.

Left in Darkness - 2006 & Trapped Ashes - 2006
Gist of the movie #1:
A young woman, whose mother died giving birth to her, is facing eternal life in either Heaven or Hell. She must make the choice who to listen to, her guardian angel, whom she met when she was a child, or the evil ones.
Netflix gives it 2 stars and I will agree with that. Takes a long time to go no where.
*************************************************************
Gist of movie #2:
Seven strangers on a Hollywood movie studio tour are trapped inside a House of Horror and forced to tell their most terrifying stories to get out alive.
Net Flix gives it 2 stars and I'll give it a one star. Gotta be a new (or old) low for John Saxon. Sooooooooo stoopid even by my low standards.
A young woman, whose mother died giving birth to her, is facing eternal life in either Heaven or Hell. She must make the choice who to listen to, her guardian angel, whom she met when she was a child, or the evil ones.
Netflix gives it 2 stars and I will agree with that. Takes a long time to go no where.

Errata ?
Today is our 37th wedding anniversary. Who woulda thunk it! Probably do nothing as usual/normal. Probably go to 5 Guy's Burger joint his weekend.
Rained like crazy yesterday and most of last night. Made for a chilly morning. The valley below us was filled with fog for about 20 minutes and then it disappeared as quickly as it showed up. Wished I could of caught it with the camera but didn't think quick enough.... Oh well was truly an unusual sight.
After the echo gram yesterday and before I picked up the dog from the groomers I treated my self to 2 Krispy Kreme doughnuts and coffee.
Had a echo sonogram performed yesterday and the only portion I cared about was the ejection fraction (EF). The EF in October, while in the emergency room, was down to 15% so today it is a little over 40 %. Gotta luv medications that work and a lotta luck ! ! !
Daughter sent a picture of our granddaughter which I thought was cute.
Not sure on how she got that effect - probably with the camera's built in software - not sure - but I think it is cool.
Maybe add stuff later. I just happy I did this 2 days in a row ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Quick weight loss
Before I get to the weight loss.....
Had a meeting with my new primary physician. Supposed to be only 40 minutes but we went well beyond that time constraint. Am not easily impressed with doctor's primarily because of the "beneath the surface" arrogance they had the tendency to show. Anyway, not only do I like her but the first thing she targeted was the malnutrition issue. With only 6 foot/feet of small intestine I just don't get the absorption most normals get.
Started sub-lingual vitamin D and B-12 and liquid vitamins (not quite a yuck but close)
An example of the stuff I take 4 times a day.
Gotta take the doggy to the groomer today and then my neck sonogram taken.
Anyway what I really started to put down was how much weight I lost the other night. I weighed in at 147.5 but went to the bathroom so many times that night, until 9 the next morning, my weight went down to 143.8. It was all water with very little solids. Made for a tough night. So yesterday my body ached so bad that I went back to bed just a little after 9 and stayed there until about 1:45 in the afternoon then realized I really had to get up. Get up I did but my body hurt so bad it was like if someone beat me with a baseball bat.
Today I feel better fer sure. No breakfast or lunch today because I have to do the running around. Now 11 am and I am hungry ! ! ! !

Eventually
I guess, eventually, I'll need to make a decision on whether to end this poor attempt at a blog or do it right.
Maybe do my opinion on the movies that I watch. See at least 2 every day with a thank you to NetFlix fer sure..

Rambling
It is amazing that I don't write more often considering how sick I am some days and the fact that I'm a BS'r. Have a coumadin appointment today - 2 weeks ago I was at 2.2 which is considered good. Bowel movements, since taking the codeine sulphate, have mostly normalized which in turn has caused my blood thinner to stabilize. Normalized means I'm not going to the bathroom every 60 minutes and is now stretched out to every 3 or 4 hours. Hopefully it will keep getting better over time and soon I will be able to ride my beloved Heritage Springer once again.

Thursday the 12th of May
Not much to say. Saw the coumadin doc yesterday and had a reading of 2.2. Good enough so that I don't have to see her for another two weeks. Have a GI doc appointment tomorrow.
Will try and see if I can do any yard work today but I might not. Having some stomach pain but it seems to be going away..

Tuesday the 3rd of May
weighed 142.6 lbs (10.21 stone, 64.8 kilo) this AM.
Brother and his wife stayed with us on Sunday night as a layover on the way to Ohio. After 20 years in Phoenix they are moving back home so that they might be around the grandkids. Envy them.
I just wonder if it will be the last time I ever see them. I hope not but I did shed a few tears when they left. Just being a Donny Downer...
Watched the movie "Machete" this morning... Ho Hum.
Potted around outside, sprayed for weeds and few other things.
