Aaaah, this is the Washington we love!

Had orders back in 1996 to come up to what some of us boys in blue called the slop yard, Keyport. They wanted me going to A school to figure out repairing, refitting, arming torpedoes. There was also the routine dispatch to damage control as a fireman included. Never quite made it. Two weeks active in Western Fleet at Great Lakes and I got processed out due to what they said was 'medical', the 214 read as 'improperly educated'. Fellow that was a Mas'r Chief broiler tech who had known me since I was a baby thought it was a basic 'railroading out'. Not sure who's crawl I got stuck in or why but that's the breaks of life.

Better off now anyway despite having missed seeing WA. Having grown up in the backyard of Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge mountains, I probably would have fallen deeply in love with the wilds there in WA.

Adorable Halloween pics, made me smile. Which is good because I have been horribly sick for 5 days. Better today, though.

Oh no! Is it the flu? I had it a couple years ago and it's awful! I hope you're much better today!

Good morning Fran and Yiddle and anyone else who's awake. Our daughter had to go for a doc appt this morning so we're on our own with Hux until early afternoon. He's awake, just rolling around in his crib having some "alone time".

Ah. That explains it. I've not gotten enthralled with SOA, GOT,TWD or any of the more "popular" telly shows. They all seem to kind of just fizzle in catching my interest. Reckon I need to cut off editor/writer mode to enjoy the stories instead of not being able to suspend belief, jump into the stories. One me and the wife like together is Supernatural. Hard to figure, Sam or Dean? Then, we also like the half attempt at campy humor in the show too. It gets silly at times. Also been going back and binging on the Stargate shows. I think the last "good" movie I saw was Redford's Last Castle, tough one to watch.

I think it is just a terrible cold. Haven't had a cold in about 4 years and bam, 2 in one month.

Good morning to everyone. I hope to get some things done today.

 

[MyMagicMist]

I hope to get some things done today.

Ha ha! Famous last words. Think I'm heading off for coffee & getting a start on my housework. Not much to it really but it doesn't do itself. Might mop our galley today, not decided. Well, reckon I'll say excuse me and, ...

Morning all

Two weeks active in Western Fleet at Great Lakes and I got processed out due to what they said was 'medical', the 214 read as 'improperly educated'. Fellow that was a Mas'r Chief broiler tech who had known me since I was a baby thought it was a basic 'railroading out'. Not sure who's crawl I got stuck in or why but that's the breaks of life.

Sounds like the instructor had a problem. Back when I was teaching (while a sub for jr and sr HS, some, but mostly apprentices), I always figured if a student "failed" it was because I failed them.

Yep, actually still a lot of wilderness that direction, since most folk don't want to be that far from the "big" cities

Hola ..

 

[Uncle Willie]

Good morning everyone

Hubs has an appt this morning with his doc to try and figure out why he's been coughing non-stop sice 10/3.

It's a longshot, but it dawned on me this morning that, when my DR started me on another BP med called Lisinopril, I started getting a consistent cough .. it turned out to be a side effect .. just tossing that out ..

 

[Uncle Willie]

Who's gotten a Flu shot .. ?? Remember, I posted a PSA a while back .. it looks like the CDC is practically begging folks to get one .. if you're strapped for cash, there are some free and/or cheap options ..

 

[DavidOck]

Got ours a month ago Yep, free. Which makes it pretty cheap insurance!

 

[rosesense]

Got mine and then got sick,lol

 

[Uncle Willie]

Got mine and then got sick,lol

Knock on wood, I've not had the flu in a while .. I have skipped a year here or there on the shot, and my gradual Metamorphosis into a Germaphobe has (at least I like to justify it by thinking so) helped .. I don't leave home without a small vial of hand disinfectant lotion, I won't touch a Public Rest Room door handle without a paper towel shield, if pushing a cart at a Store, I always look for the Handy Wipe dispenser first .. etc, etc, etc ..

I'd probably wear a filter mask in Public if it became just a tad more Fashionable ..

Sad, I know .. but, you just never know these days ..

 

[Anise]

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a good day today!

 

[FranC]

Got mine and then got sick,lol

My daughter did the same.

 

[Bea-FL]

Got my flu shot this morning. We don't know if hubs csn have one. Forgot to ask the doc. Speaking of which, doc got to hear the worst of the coughing this morning on a recording I took with my phone…because of course hubs didn't do the worst in the exam room.

The upshot of this meeting was: 1. It may be an infection in his lung from the residual fluid or it can be MRSA (which can be outside in wounds but it can also manifest itself with flu like symptoms and persistant cough). But because Hubs doesn't have any phlegm they can't test him for it. The doc put him on a MRSA appropriate antibiotic prophylactically.
2. Hubs is getting another CT scan to see the pleural cavity. Doc suspects the cough may instead be attributed to some fluid still in the cavity which doesn't allow the lung to properly inflate and stay adhered to the pleural. The CT will tell us that. If that's the case hubs faces another surgery where they will suck out all the fluid, scrub the pleural clean and "rough" it up so the lung will stick to it.
