I'm dealing with only 90% of my colon and 5 feet of intestine left while trying to maintain a cheery face/attitude on a everyday basis. Which, I've decided, on most days, I do. At the beginning of my new life I did not realize how grateful I would become for the opportunity to continue living and will see what the Creator has in store for me. * *BTW: shitz* - Just another way of saying crap, (noun), and is used to express anger or frustration or confusion or excitement etc...

Bought an IPhone 4 S with a pretty Orange and Black case
Which means I finally got rid of the GZone after 10 years.
On the holiday homefront my Brother in law, youngest sister and 3 kids were here over the Memorial day weekend and since they had to go to the Verizon store to get something taken care of we went along.
Verizon was doing their wheeling and dealing stuff .. Told me I could trade in my old phone for just a regular IPhone for FREE. Yeah well I fooled them I got the 4S so I could have SIRI to talk to. An extra 50 bucks
Anyway thought this was gonna be easy phone to use being an Apple and all. Pain in the arse but I got most of it figured out.
Still have to get the Verizon people take my old stuff off the GZone, Best Buy idiots could not do it. Oh Yeah we bought it there instead of the Verizon store. Better deal on the 4S. $50.00 at Best Buy versus $100.00 at the Verizon store. So money wise it was OK but taking info off the old phone did not happen and it still infuriatesd me about their incompetence. Going to go to Sam's Club today to see if they can take the stuff off.
I was able to get all my contact's pictures onto the memory card but not any messages. Some of those messages were from my sister, Donna, from right before she died. So for sentimental purposes I want them active even though they will still be on the GZone.
One other small item. I think my sister and her family should learn to mellow out. Never ever seen such hyper active people and I'm not saying that because I am alone all the time but god are they loud and raucous.
Plus ate too much and my ass paid for it . . You SBSers know what I'm talking about ! ! !

when motorists slowed to gawk at a woman in her 20s who was taking a
nude walk in Charlotte with her 40-something mother, her toddler and
her newborn, The Charlotte Observer reported Monday.

was Adam and Eve stuff, not even a loincloth.
The women told officers "the Lord told them to get naked and walk down
the street," Farley said.
Police said the women received physical and mental evaluations at
Presbyterian Matthews Hospital.
"It didn't appear that they had any problems short of that they didn't

Man loses $2,600 at carnival game, gets stuffed banana
MANCHESTER, N.H. (UPI) -- A New Hampshire man said he lost his $2,600 life savings at a "rigged" carnival game and received only a stuffed banana and a $600 refund for his trouble.
Henry Gribbohm, 30, said he was attending the Fiesta Shows carnival in Manchester and he played a game called Tubs of Fun, trying to win an Xbox Kinect, WBZ-TV, Boston, reported Monday.
"You're expecting the kids to win a few things, let the kids have a good time," Gribbohm said. It just didn't turn out that way.
Gribbohm said he started losing money at the game, which involves players tossing balls into a tub, and kept playing in the hopes of winning his cash back by going double-or-nothing.
Gribbohm said he went home to get more money and had soon lost $2,600.
"It's not possible that it wasn't rigged," Gribbohm said.
Gribbohm said he came back the next day to complain to the man running the game and he was given a $600 refund and a giant stuffed banana.
Fiesta Shows Vice President John Flynn said the game is run by an independent contractor who has been with the carnival for years.
"They've been with us quite a while," Flynn said. "First I ever heard of anything like that.
"I know it's a difficult game. I've tried it myself -- I've done it once, missed probably 20 times," Flynn said.
Flynn said the game has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation.
Manchester police said they were investigating to see whether any fraud occurred.

Here are the stats for April 2013. I am wondering where/when the weight will stabilize. Am starting to feel big yet the reality is that I am still 48 pounds less that when I fell down and played dead. To be exact: Since it is now Tuesday 4/30/2013 at 7:55:54 AM it has been 2 years 9 months 19 days 12 hours 20 minutes 54 seconds or 146 weekends or 1,025 days or 24,588 hours (16,392 waking hours) or 1,475,300 minutes or 88,518,054 seconds. Since I have had the mesenteric ischemia. See http://www.vascularweb.org/vascularhealth/Pages/mesenteric-ischemia.aspx for a refresher course on how f'd up one can get and still live. 1. Weight graph:
On a semi-lighter pace/tone. I think I have become rehooked on the Doom 3 and Quake 4 games.
I sincerely think I might buy an XBox 360 for my birthday. Just because - big screen and surround sound ! ! . On top of everything else my body has reverted back to crapping and hurting. BUT I believe I know why. Will talk about the why later.
Well, another weekly test on my INR* levels. Last week it was 3.0, week before it was at 3.5. We reduced my Warfarin dosage by .5 mg. In other words instead of taking .5 mg 4 times a week it was reduced to only 3 times this week. BUT we also doubled the Vitamin K taken every night. Besides the above I wonder how my "normal" bowel movement in the mornings are going to play into my levels. * The prothrombin time (PT) and its derived measures of prothrombin ratio (PR) and international normalized ratio (INR) are measures of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. This test is also called "ProTime INR" and "PT/INR". They are used to determine the clotting tendency of blood, in the measure of warfarin dosage, liver damage, and vitamin K status. PT measures factors I (fibrinogen), II (thrombin), V, VII, and X. That is classic extrinsic pathway. It is used in conjunction with the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) which measures the intrinsic pathway. {got it? picture a smiley face here}
Weighed in this AM the same as yesterday. 157.2 and that was prior to going to the bathroom. AND when I finally did go .... Well I'll get to that in a minute. When I came home yesterday afternoon, which was around 1 PM or so, I decided to eat. Didn't eat that much just some meatloaf and beans but my body seemed like it went in some kind of defensive or attack mode. I ended up going to the bathroom (diarrhea) so many times I started to hurt and which leads me into this mornings movement ( I know . . so gross - but hey I got short bowel) It ended up being a normal movement and fit the Oprah recognition of a good movement (http://www.oprah.com/own-ask-oprahs-all-stars/Medical-Questions-Ask-Oprahs-All-Stars/2) ... You know the "S" type of movement. AND it was about 12" long ! ! ! !
There just is no logical explanation for this...
As for the running around yesterday, got gas for the CX-7, went to Walmart to get milk and a few other items then came home. I have spent a few bucks in the last couple of days. Wonder why I feel a little bit guilty? I would feel really guilty if I had bought an X Box system which I almost did. I know that would have been selfish but I should have bought one several years ago. So in a couple of days running around I spent the following:
$195.00 at Sams Club $ 6.00 at Bed Bath & Beyond $54.50 for gas $72.00 at Walmart
..... He (the doctor) told me that he was going to give me the best advice that he had ever given me. "Enjoy life. Embrace it. I have TPN patients who think they're going to die, and they just give up. Don't give up. Live. I want you to take a trip, go out and do things that you want to do. Enjoy every day to its fullest, so that when the end finally does come, you are able to say, 'Good, I'm ready for a rest. I've done my bucket list, and it's time for a nap.' Don't have any regrets."
Go figure but I weighed in at 157.2 pounds this morning. That's a lot. Semi-normal bowel movement. Had a bowl of dried cereal for breakfast... What was I thinking ! ! ! Really funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZMqaI4GskU
