Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[hoteltwofive]

Just back from having 2 wisdom teeth removed.  Dr had a good fight getting them out.  Now to relax with an ice pack and not do much of anything.

Good Morning! I have a Cardiologist appt. this morning and then I plan to try to stay in and cool as the temp gets back to around 106°F today.

 I am holding off on drinking my coffee or eating so I can go get fasting blood work done when I leave the Cardiologist.

 I have to go get ready to leave now, I check back in around or before noon if all goes well.

Beware the vampires!!!! 😲😳😳😳

Good morning GTA! Happy Friday! I watched the RNC last night too and wound up sleeping in until 0550. Turned the coffee maker on and I had an empty hot pot with old grounds in the basket from yesterday. Oh well, I hope to get back to my 2100 bedtime routine soon. I’m at work now, after having my 2 cups o’Joe and returning a rented water trailer. I’m sincerely hoping I can get out of work early today. I want to get the mowing done after work, it really needs cut. I don’t want to do anything tomorrow, but maybe shoot airguns.

Kris you going to kill hogs with an air gun? If so post your first kill on the forum.

Even with my headache I had some things I needed doing. I carried the trashcan to the road on the back of my electric EZGO cart. While at end of my drive down at the road I moved the ten 5' logs I had cut up when a dead pine had fallen. I scattered them on the forest floor well off my drive and out of sight. They will deteriorate and feed the different microorganisms that feed off of rotting wood.
It's hot and muggy feeling, I'm retreating the the comfort of my a/c.

Got the plugs changed on the Snapper and took it to the front yard for a test run. 100% better. Not quite 100% like a brand new one but considering it's age and the multitude of people that had abused it when it was on the Husqvarna I have to say, it does good. Tomorrow it will get the new air filter and we'll see how it does. I will say, it cuts real good. The yard is nice and low and even. Last blades I put on were mulching blades and they chop it up pretty fine.. as long as it's not wet.
It's good the have the Snapper back.

I'm visiting an orthopedic guy this afternoon.   2 days ago I was moving from the kneeling position to the standing position.  I must have had my foot oriented poorly because I felt something pop in the left foot when I tried to stand.   Walking is pretty painful right now.  On top of my hip and knee problems, mobility is not too good.   I won't be cutting brush along my 50/100 yard range today.

Gil, I am working on taking deer and hog with an airgun. I several guns to choose from now. South Carolina starts August 15, I go up in late September early October. I will deer and hog hunt up there. Then hunt this area when it cools down some in Dec. to Feb. Right now working on getting ready for the fall shrimp, flounder, and mullet run around here.

I back home after my cardiologist appt, Lab blood draw, and washing my Dodge 3500.

 When the nurse took my blood pressure it was 106/64  , I can't remember it ever being that low. I mentioned that to her and she just said well that is what it was. When the Doc came in I told her the same thing and she retook it twice with a different cuff and got 130/80. She is going to have the machine the nurse used checked out. My weight was down 5lbs from 6 months ago. Everything seems good.
 

The phlebotomist I got today had a hard time with the blood draw. She poked and poked on my right arm, and then gave up and went to the left arm where she got it after a dew pokes but then went through the vein after the second vial was full inserting the 3rd vial. 
 Now both arms are going to look bruised up probably. The left worse though it has a fairly large puffy area around where the needle went in. This is the first time I have had a problem like this with a blood draw.
 Oh well it isn't anything serious.

It might have been a global world wide record of the shortest time for a lab visit.
30min. from leaving the front door, labs, and back home with the lab only 2 miles away.

I am so glad that it didn't take long, Mom was not feeling too shiney.

Works for me.

I have about 45 minutes each way in moderate traffic going to the cardiologist, and the lab is about 1/2 from her office. My appointment was at 8:40 and I went to the Lab after. I left the Lab at 9:40, NOT BAD! IMHO

[Ronfiveo]

I have found that most doctor visits are hurry up and wait.

I would make a terrible buzzard. I don't do waiting well.
I would just have to kill something.

Ron

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

I have to say my doctors visits have very little waiting usually. For years I had a primary doctor where the longest wait I ever had was 5 minutes after the scheduled time. The primary I have now I have been waiting for up to 40 minutes but, my cardiologist usually is on time or very close to on time. I have always had to drive 30-50 minutes to and from though because my selected care group doesn't have any offices in our nearby town of Hemet.

Speaking of doctors.... I happened to be driving past the Crenshaw Family Doctor's office where Betty Lou and I both go and the signs were gone. Locked up tight. We received no notice at all.

The same thing happened to me with my previous ENT doctor. She left after doing surgery on my neck
which she botched by leaving the sutures in, causing all the de-formative and painful problems I endure today.

Unfortunately shortly after her move to Austin, she died in a traffic accident on State Hwy. 183. The most dangerous
street in that city. It's a highway with a 50 mph speed limit and ...... stop lights.

Good luck with choosing another one.

No problem for me.. I quit going to doctors. Betty Lou still needs to go for her thyroid condition. We'll find her another.

Bill, I quit the doctor come back game a long time ago. I wasn't getting anywhere with any of them and stopped the unnecessary medical bills. 

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

I am not sure of my status with my primary doctor, I haven't seen him since 2018 or 19? All my prescriptions have been renewed through my cardiologist. Hey, I have been getting by with it so, why not.
I may regret it if I do need him for something but I'd rather avoid him as long as I can. My wife has seen him within the last year for her thyroid checkup and he asked how I was doing so I know he hasn't forgotten me yet. 
I know if I go see him he is going to want to poke and prod where I don't want him to.
