I have had some severe health problem crop up over the weekend and I still have eye surgery today. I may not post for a few days as my left eye will be patched and my other health concerns are addressed. Thank you for your understanding.
UPDATE: I am home after eye surgery, the optho surgeon had to access my eye in two different places to remove the vitreous detachments and I am now wearing a eye patch, just call me Redbeard, the porch pirate… I will be wearing the patch for about a week and have another appointment next Monday to remove the sutures he placed, 24 in total.
My other health concern is I have one kidney, my left. My right kidney never developed past a certain size and it was removed two years ago. Now, my Left is failing, it is down to 29% efficiency, which means I will be on dialysis when a spot opens up… yeah. There is a turnover and he expects me to be able to start in two weeks, welcome to socialized medicine. I can alleviate that by driving to Portland three times a week, at least a four hour drive. The doc is putting me on a strict diet and I have to go cold turkey on coffee, that is going to be difficult! I explained to the doc this morning on the phone, he called me and I have an appointment tomorrow besides, I explained coffee keeps me from strangling people and keeps me socially acceptable. Suck on pebbles he retorted… I have a cool doc!
Crap, your blog hosts are falling apart in real time in front of ya.
Can you drink beer instead of coffee? Might make you a little more fun. Does this mean it’s talk like a pirate week?
Arrrgghh, shiver my splinter….
Walk into a bar with a ships wheel stuffed down the front of your pants.
When the bartender asks why it’s there, tell him “Arrrrr, it’s driving me nuts”.
An old one but still amusing.
Cederq, if you don’t wear a squawking parrot on your shoulder and shitting all down your back, are you gonna perch the Chihuahua up there?
A silver lining to your storm clouds, at least your shooting scores can’t degrade much lower, despite your crook eyesight. Do you have any plans to get a peg-leg too?
DON’T make me come over there and take control of the Blog, CederQ.
It will not go well for either one of you. Or the Blog.
Getting old is such fun. We’re with you
Oof. No coffee. I wouldn’t like that one bit. Get better soon..both of you.
All I can say is…Oh, Fuck.
God bless ya, guys.
I lost my wife in December, and through it all I came
to despise the medical industry. Fuck em.
It was quite an experience…
No coffee?
Did he say anything about 5 hour energy drinks? Snort one.
All you have to give up is coffee? I quit smoking & drinking for my health. It sucks big time. Seriously take it easy & get well. It would be hell without you & Phil.
Prayers and well wishes sent your way.
Miss Sandy, maybe you’d better say some prayers for Cederq’s nurses too.
You have to do what you have to do. You and your family will always come first. Everyone that enjoys your blog knows this. No apologies on your end are required or expected.
Get well!
Good thoughts to ya, C, did he say what kind of pebbles? that’s weird anyway.
You take care of you, C – the benefits of your continued existence are very important to many more people than you know. That sorta goes for Phil as well. 🙂
Take care of yourself. Prayers Up!
