| I have been sitting on this for a few days just to wrap my head around it. The doctors discovered my Aorta, (the main artery of the body, supplying oxygenated blood to the circulatory system) is partially blocked by cholesterol. Hence what was causing the anomaly they discovered in my lower left ventricle. It can be controlled with major diet restrictions and maybe resolved with new medications. Still, I may need surgery if the other options fail. I talk to my doctor on July 1st to come up with a strategy. |
| Happy Memorial Day to all who have served or are still serving. |
| I came across something a week or so ago that I hadn't realized until reading this: Armed Forces Day (this year on May 17th) expresses gratitude for those currently serving in the Armed Forces. This is not an official federal holiday. Memorial Day (honored on the last Monday in May) honors those who have died in military service. Veterans Day (honored on 11 Nov annually) celebrates all who have served in the Armed Forces, both the living and the deceased. |
| I have been dealing with some family drama as of late. My mother is suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. My little brother is moving out of state due to his deteriorating health. As for me, I am finding myself sleepy all the time. I have tests lined up to see if I need to be on O2 full time. I will know more by the end of June when all the tests have been run. My sister is having health issues as well but I have been asked not to speak of them. I will keep you all posted. |
| I had sleep apnea, which caused me to fall asleep during the day. Went to the doctor about it after I almost fell asleep driving home from work one day. I had no idea of the problem. |
Joey's Summer Sparkle  - Sounds like you had quite the childhood. My dad's idea of waking us up was an ice cube down our shirt. |
Ichabod Crane  - I have sleep apnea as well. Hence I need to sleep with O2. The tests will determine if I need a C-pap as well as constant O2. I can not drive at all due to the fact I keep falling asleep. |
I caught the stomach flu the other day.  Most of us know what it is and what comes with it.  I'm slowly getting over it but I am so wiped out. I am hoping to be better by the end of the week |
| I have lost most of my hearing. Yesterday, I could hear clearly but today, I can barely hear at all. I am hoping it is temporary. |
Spud  - Yes, I have a head cold. I honestly did not think that would be the cause. Hopefully, once this cold passes, I'll hear better again. |
| I have decided what I will be doing for the next novel in the Tales of the Canterbury Nebula. 5 human children (who appeared in the first book) will be sharing their stories of their visit to the alien worlds and the galactic council. Each child will be picked up and dropped off for a cultural exchange. |
| Quick question for everyone.... What would be the worst place for an alien, who knows very little about Earth, to crash a small space ship in... Australia, Europe, Asia, Middle East or Japan. This is for ideas on the second book in the series, Tales of the Canterbury Nebula, for next year's NaNoWriMo. |
| I was going to suggest a place or two I know personally in the U.S., but after Steven's answer, I should think, that my places are more like a child's playroom by comparison. The best I have to offer is the Everglades in south Florida. Honestly, the transplanted pythons and boa constrictors are nothing to sneeze at, but they're still not the outback Australia. My hat is off to you, Sir Steven. |
