Just when......Unc took several falls the other day...Broken pinky and a pacemaker today...Not a soul to look after his dealings...Guess my Grandad's pistol he gifted me is gonna end up costing big time...Aunt Edna isn't doing well with the kemo...The drugs got her talking...Why the hell people tell me there deepest darkest secrets...????.... Couz sez I'm not judgemental and trustworthy...Maybe so....Grandads pistol is for sale and spoken for....The items I had of his are in the trash....Truth is I was told as a kid too keep an eye on him....Seems the more I learn the less I like....I've often thought many of my family members were weak because they shy from confrontation...Sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away...Myself....I'll burn the rug and the damn house if needed...Now I see things in a different light....

Mom is better....Aunt Azalee is full steam with the new stint....Her hubby Uncle Carlton{Grader} cut the ding dang tip of his finger off with the recipricating saw Saturday...My back is better but slave driving keeps giving it hits....Those damn test results remain elusive....4 days stretches too 8...I get that air line in and no results I ain't calling....I'm showing up....Not real pleased with the Doc too say the least

Couz had me in the deal for an enclosed trailer...I had a sweet deal in the works that would throw me a nice little commission,,,,Then along comes a lying azz trailer salesman and kicks me and my deal too the curb....Turns out it was the bait and switch....2~5% interest rate became 21% along with enough hidden fees to make my deal look like what it was all along.....Sweet...Now I gotta fly for air line parts and see my old friend at the trailer store...

Morning folks :)

Sounds like it's gonna be a long day for you and Mom, Salem. Hope things go as smoothly as possible.

Happy you got some relief for your back, Oly. An understanding boss is always a bonus!

Sounds like Aunt Edna dropped some heavy sheet on you Dee. Hoping for good news from your Dr too, before you go down there and strangle him!

Mom made me cancel the dentures. Still have to go to the surgeon but both would have been too much for her today.

LD, the longer it takes to get test results, the better the news in my experience. The bad stuff pops up right away and they call you quickly ;)

I had a colon cancer scare several months back. Had to go for a CT scan. Thought that I would drop over dead before I finally got the results. The colon was fine but, they did find nodules at the bottom of my lungs. I had to go back a few months later for another lung scan. Luckily they did not grow but, I do have to get scans yearly to keep an eye on them. Bad news always comes fast. The good stuff takes awhile.

    Thanks for the positive encouragement Salem....I was thinking the exact opposite....

    November 4th....I'm no fan of that Dude....I'll stop there....Mom had touched on what Aunt Edna told me years ago...Seems all 7 kids felt my Grandad's wrath....some of the Grandkids as well....I got my azz torn up weekly...I did however have a safe place too live...Pretty sure Aunt Ed laid that on me cause she knows her time is short and it will help me understand why things were as they were...Still that sheet was dang depressing...I smoked myself into a coma...and.....that made me think about it even more...

    Got a trailer deal in the works for my Couz....Ended up driving over 100 miles to get the air line supplies I need....they were in stock where I went and someone cleaned them out of fittings just prior too my arrival...I got them so good...good and tired of driving...I was in a coma then too...Tomorrow is another day

    Our elders do seem to have a need to unburden themselves when they know time is limited. Even tho it caused you sadness, I hope that you also gained some kind of understanding, Dee. Many a closeted skeleton has been revealed to me in my family...some brought comfort to me, some not, but always seemed to comfort the ones opening the closet doors.

    That's a whole lotta driving, but glad you got the parts you need.

    Nah, major stuff would show right away. The lab is down to doing the nitty gritty search for the small stuff now. Hang in there. I know how hard it is to be patient when we are waiting to hear news about our health. My mom has a saying that usually holds true. No news is good news. ;) It would not hurt to call and confirm just to set your mind at ease. I can be a royal PITA on the phone when I NEED to know something.

    Bov I hate all that you're having to go through, period. You deserve peace and I will pray that whatever needs to happen for that to fall into place and remain, happens.

    ElDee, I am with Salem on this one! No news is good news. (For the reasons she stated previously) :thumbs: hang in there bud! My mom had her blood work done on a Monday and got the call on wed or Thursday with the issues they found. Sugar is high (now on meds and diet restrictions) , emphysema (she won't go for X-rays ....(brat!) but is vaping for the last couple of days!! (Fingers crossed and praying) and finally her thyroid is off.
    When there are issues, they call pronto !!!!

    My lower back is giving me fits from the sitting I do at my desk. Corona will find its way to my house SOON! :p
