Good Afternoon

Just got back from the VA with my Brother . I had an appointment with Urology for a post surgical appointment

My doctor's were concerned over the bloody urine ive been producing so i had my catheter removed to see if my bladder was functioning correctly . They filled my empty bladder with warm water and all I could produce was 108ml of urine

My bladder was needed to be woke up from all the Anesthesia and other drugs during the surgery from 3 days ago . The Urologist told me to go to the snack bar and drink as much iced tea as i could and come back to Urology to measure how much is in my bladder . I had nearly 400ml in it and was able to release 195ml

after the tech measured the amounts and he consulted the surgeon and he was very happy with the results . That meant my bladder is functioning properly . And this is cleaning blood from my urine . This also meant that my catheter was not needed to be placed back into my urethra which made me very happy as that was very painful

The also gave me a urinal to keep track of the volume of urine i produce and create a log

 

Glad to hear your home and on the mend.

 

Thanks Paul

 

Glad to hear from you Chuck, pee log it’s awesome what we get to keep track of when we get old. Rest up Marine

 

They were even good in go where you need to go red clay we have here. I was already growing out of the go were I want to go stage. But those were some great tires the new at2s that are on my 1ton I have no idea how it would do in the snow and ice. In bad weather it stays home that’s 4Runner time.

 

Today’s project was prep for a temporary shed / garage. There was a bunch of gravel at the bottom of my street from rain wash out , free gravel. I’m pretty sure that’s where I picked up that sheet metal screw that got my tire. I need to raise the grade about 8” on driver side, I’ll have that delivered

 

Glad that part is over...for now

 

Feel better Chuck,

 

Surgery on my R/ side kidney is scheduled for early November

 

Howdy, gang! The work stupidity just keeps flowing. They had a 10 year plant supervisor just up and walk out today after another epic drag out argument with the troll in H.R. That's the 2nd supervisor that has walked away after upper mis-management decided to not back up a supervisor that was trying to fire a POS employee.

I found this band in my YT feed all of a sudden, this song was pretty good.

Is that the 1st bit of road damage to Chebby? I hope tht they can keep the chip from "starring" out

Glad to hear from you, Chuck. It sounds like you're on the mend!

 

I can't "like" that..
My 80 YO Uncle lives between Palm Springs and Cathedral City, he has similar temps.

 

Good evening

Congrats Tom! That’s a great picture

I hope all is going well for you Mike. Rest up for the trip to Canada. I’ve been a Michelin tire buyer for many years now. They even make great motorcycle tires for street and dirt bikes.

Glad you’re doing okay Chuck. Keep on the mend Marine

 

Glad you’re home and on the mend Chuck

 

Glad you’re home.

 

for speedy recovery!

 

Mornin’

 

Good morning. My grandson passed his knowledge test so he now has a driver's permit. PA changed the rules a few years back. He has to drive so many hours and can't take his test for his license for at least 6 months. Truth be told, he needs the practice. He has only driven in a local parking lot for about 20 minutes before yesterday. I taught his mother and uncle, but I was younger and more patient back then.

 

Good morning

Back to the grind for me. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Congrats to your grandson. Monumental achievement for a young person.

 

Morning folks 46* with a wind chill of 43*, my weather guy used the term “wind chill “ . I love Michigan, next week they’re talking temps in the 90’s. Snow blower ready, lawnmower in full service waiting for “leaf season “. Don’t forget your jacket, ok mom Have a great Saturday kids. Don’t forget the Paw Paw Wine and Harvest Festival is this weekend, I think flights are still available. Car show, parade, and a grape stomping contest, just saying.
