    Does that mean you'll be Uncle-Uncle Willie :D

    I don't know, I'd have to stay flexible .. however, when making a dramatic Life Change, sometimes, it's best to leave the Old behind you ..

    I'm leaning towards Uncle Fester .. o_O

    Nothing new. So they're monitoring him tonight & his surgeon will be in in the am & hopefully tell us what's next.

    It breaks my heart to see him so weak. I have to help him to the bathroom. And he has no appetite. I even got him his favorites from his favorite restaurant and he barely ate. The nurse placed an order for a supercharged nutritional smoothie. I hope he'll dribk that. He serms to be able to drink better than eat.

    At least he is not in pain since yesterday.

    So the crackles have been there all along since the SX and the nurse kept track of them…and they improved daily. It's not pneumonia thankfully. And as of last Saturday there were none.

    Admitting Dr said it's not totally unusual for this to happen after open heart surgery & have a relapse. So they're monitoring him tonight & his surgeon will be in in the am & hopefully tell us what's next. I just hate to see him so weak.

    @WhiteHighlights I know you're reading this and wondering if this will happen with your hubby too but please try not to worry.

    Bea, first and foremost, I'm concerned about you and your hubby. The upside is that you and the nurse have been taking good care of him so when something changed, there wasn't a delay in getting him to the ER.

    I'm trying not to focus too much on the possible scenarios. This setback does show how important it is to be vigilant and that the ride might be a roller coaster.

    Hugs

    Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a good day today!
    I'm off to my retina specialist for a recheck. Pretty sure it's just a routine office visit and nothing has changed. It's just time consuming. Oh well, could be worse.
    Sounds like they know what's going on and what to do Bea. That's a good sign.

    I was taking a break at the Workshop when I scanned my Newsfeed and saw Tom Petty had passed .. I called a friend in So Cal that worked at KLOS and confirmed the news, because, these days, you never know .. by that time, the list of some of the greats passing on had gotten fairly long :: Prince, Bowie, Greg Allman, Chuck Berry, etc .. I wrote here on ECF my thoughts, and, franky, it was tough to write about Petty in the past tense ..

    Warren Zanes, Petty's biographer, tells a story that goes a bit like this ..

    Tom was at his best when he talked about anything that dealt with life before he became Tom Petty .. and was just another kid crazy about Rock and Roll and what that kid meant to him .. Petty would harken back to that simpler time ..

    When Zanes would visit Petty for a periodic interview, there was always a tray with coffee mugs and a fresh, large thermos of coffee .. at one point, Zanes complimented Petty on how good the coffee was and always consistently good .. Petty agreed and launched into a lengthy discussion on coffee .. what it was supposed to be, how to recognize it, etc .. the upshot being that Petty, after he had achieved fame and fortune, discovered the perfect cup of coffee at a Malibu diner .. and, it turned out to be Maxwell House .. "Good To The Last Drop .."

    Petty quized the diner's owner and was shown the Bunn Professional Coffee maker setup back behind the counter .. subsequently, having a Bunn set up installed in his home .. later, he discovered that if the measuring for each cup was exact, the coffee would be even better ..

    Later in the biography process, Petty went on to tell Zanes that it was in a small diner in Gainesville, FL that he could get a "bottomless cup" and sit for hours, high on the low grade "material" of the day and wrapping his hand around a mug of coffee, without being pressured to leave or order a meal if he did not have the money to pay for anything but the coffee .. Zanes makes a most poignant observation .. that Petty sat in that booth / workshop and built scale models of his Dreams .. a cup of coffee with which the World could be poured ..

    Zanes says he can't remember a time he did not see Petty without a cup of Maxwell House ..

    All of us share in the little things in life .. it's been a year today since Mr Petty left us ..

    Take a listen, please ::

    Uh, which one? ;)

    None of the above, in my case .. I don't drink coffee for enlightenment, Flavor of the Month, Starbucks clone .. etc .. I like my coffee like I like most things in Life .. plain and simple .. ;) ..

    I need advice on a stealth device similar to my icare. I really like those but there is a flaw in the design…the plastic juice receptacle eventuslly cracks and starts leaking. I've gone through two that way so time to find a new one. I still would prefer an AIO because of the size. My icares are so small I can totaly hide them in hand with my tingers closed.

    Anyway, there are so many in the market I thought I'd see which ones you all prefer.

    Oh, and I don't want pods unless they are refillable. Anyone use the Aspire Breeze? Looks interesting.
