Goodnight all. Busy day today so hopefully a sleep night tonight. If not, you know I'll be back! for sleep.
Here's hoping I don't see you until morning!Goodnight all. Busy day today so hopefully a sleep night tonight. If not, you know I'll be back! for sleep.
I take a beta blocker everyday as part of my BP regime. I have PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) on a regular basis. Can really feel em when they happen. Doc says as long as I don't get more than one at a time I'm OK. Anyhow the beta blocker really regulates my heart rate. Took a stress test a while back and they forgot to tell me not to take it and we thought I would never get my heart rate up to the desired rate. Had a nurse behind me holding me up to keep me from falling backward with exhaustion. It was really funny in hindsight, not so much at the time. Hopefully the beta blocker will solve the problem for you and work as well as it has for me. Keep you in my prayers as extra insurance.
OK. you guys like family stories... A long time ago (this past weekend), a family friend was having a 50th wedding anniversary. My dad was the best man at his wedding, but it's hard to visit because my dad has twice a week dialysis.
My dad went through his regular clinic to get an appointment Saturday morning at a clinic nearby, and they drove up starting Wed., so they could be there for the party Saturday night.
Mom tells me that when their friend opened the door Friday, he turned around and walked right back inside. His wife came to the door and could not stop crying. Turns out HE was crying too. They asked about a dozen times how Dad could make it when he had dialysis the next day. Since our friend did not die of a heart attack, I think that his life was extended at least an extra two years from all the positive energy!
Some days back, Pre-Threadageddon, I mentioned I would tell about the changes I've been going thru over the last few months .. I don't know if anyone is really interested, but I'll start writing a bit since I have a little time .. My sincere apology for not keeping up with things here, which, lately, has caused me to simply jump in .. I feel a little rude doing so, but the Thread moves at a fairly quick clip at times ..
We've come to know each other, at least those that have been hanging around for a while now .. I really don't know how much "history" each of us retains from long past posts / stories .. I am cursed with an exceptionally good memory (at least for now) .. so I do tend to remember many of the stories, histories, etc that have been presented since we began this Journey .. and I generally choose to remember, if I can, since, as I've said in the past, I don't have a lot of Family left and I suppose I may be doing a degree of living vicarously thru thread posts, as sad as that may sound .. it's really not sad at all ..
At any rate, over 10 years ago, my Doctor advised me to quit the Sound Business .. this was soon after the first heart attack, and his logic was very good .. the stress created by doing this kind of work is pretty high .. you worry about equipment failure during a show, you have to deal with quite a few obnoxious folks, you're always on a time schedule that must be kept .. it's a long list .. I still had a couple of side businesses that I could devote more time to .. I have never thought of retirement, since what I do allows you to work as long as you can / want to ..
I'm probably at the point where boredom is setting in and I'm putting people to sleep .. but, there is more story, if anyone wants to read it ..
Conversed to you, Matt! We've got a whole new lingo to figure out!Goodnight all. Busy day today so hopefully a sleep night tonight. If not, you know I'll be back! for sleep.
My personal "back porch" experience written as a true story
I hadn't spoken to my parents for nearly 20 years because of our differences.
The full moon bathed the porch in pale moonlight, I noticed, as I walked from the dining room to the rear porch for a nice vape.
My parents had gone to bed early after Thanksgiving supper, so I had some time to reflect.
A small lamp with a red lampshade glowed comfortably just inside the glass door.
As I vaped, I felt a sense of comfort, and relaxation like never before..we had reconnected.
