Morning 50s. Had a visit with Baby Addie last night! She was eating oranges and handed a slice to Pappy. What a huge smile and giggle when I ate it! Have the day off, doc appointment then might head over the big hill. Happy Thursday all!

Good afternoon/early evening gang!

Today was tough, my GF told me last night that she decided it was time to turn off Clarence's light, he couldn't even stand anymore. I wanted to help and see my little buddy one last time. I got the text that the vet which was closest to her couldn't do it, she had to go to her regular Vet office which was 40 miles from her house. She tried to talk me out of helping because of my work but I didn't care, I needed to help her and see him one last time. When I got to her house, I was shocked at how much worse he was since when I saw him last Sunday, he was just staring out into space and looking very uncomfortable. She put him into a fresh cat bed and sat him on my lap while she drove. I didn't think that he was going to make it to the vet office ( and I told him that it was ok to go now ) I hoped that he would pass before we got there to spare himself getting jabbed with needles. He was still clinging on somehow. Within 20 minutes of getting there, my little buddies lights were turned off. I've never felt so sad or helpless in my life, nothing that we could do to help him. I hope that he knew we were there and that we love him and will miss him. I held him for the last hour of his life, she held him in the bed while the Vet did their thing.

Good Morning Folks

Busy day today.

Finish cutting grass.
Pack up the Taco for the weekend. Weatherman says 50/50 chance of rain Saturday.
Then work, I got tempted to call in sick today and head up north this afternoon, but no.

Good morning everybody. Raining morning, forecast for most of the day.

Internet was acting screwy last night, very slow and a lot of buffering on streaming, this on a fiber connection. Come on AT&T, I pay you for fast internet. So far, so good this morning.

Laundry done.
Grass cut.
Truck is ready for tomorrow. I'll mount the traction boards and shovel to the roof rack after work.
Tomorrow top off with gas and get ice.
Really looking forward this weekend. The WI TW folks are a good group.

Afternoon everyone

Just got back home from the VA and it's been a very long day !!! . During my visit with my Primary health care doctor I couldn't believe how good my blood pressure was . It was 116 / 77 , that's the best it's been since I started going to the VA 12 years ago , not bad for a almost 61yr old

Not sure if any of you have ever had a Nerve conduction study or EMG test . It's like being tasered and feeling your muscles constrict . The doctor will apply voltage to Nerve and ramp up the voltage 4x's ea time getting stronger and stronger

What the doctor found today is what I thought it would be . Very weak and slow Nerve response . My body is having a auto immune disorder trying to destroy the mylene sheathing of the nerves

You were in the same years as me. I'm not sure if you were ever at Camp Lejuene but just in case you aren't aware, there is lawsuit regarding contaminated water. I personally have no medical issues but I'm registered just in case. If you were there, you should look it up to see if your issues are covered.
