Well more good news. When they did the xray of my ribs they saw severe calcification of my mitral valve. I go in for my echo in a month and he will be able to tell me more. If it means that I have to have my mitral valve replaced they probably would have to replace the aortic root and the aortic valve and the survival of that is not good like <80% and given all the other problems probably less then that. I really won't know till they do the echo.
Well, I will keep you in prayer. I don't believe that you have come this far to check out now!!

I can strongly relate to this. That's why I've been so quiet the last few days. You may not be feeling civil, but I've been feeling positively foul!!

Ok...I went looking to see what got deleted and why...

It was reported so of course someone deleted it

So...perhaps it's not "sum mod" that has the "very tight undies" and the mod was doing their job

Yes .. having been a mod on another forum in the past, most all posts that get deleted are reported by fellow thread members .. mods generally don't actively look for rule violations as some may think .. most forums are self policed by members ..

And, as a side note, Bill Maher is the voice of reason .. as opposed to voices of no reason such as Limbaugh and his ilk .. take a listen to Bill on youtube if you don't have HBO, you might actually learn something about Democracy ..

Yep...and then you have the other end of the spectrum...
You are reading a thread you find interesting and things are getting pissy...then you start reading 20 posts about "Why aren't the mods doing something about this ?"
Well dang...not one of the gripers even bothered to report it :lol:

You know the funny thing about that hamburger from Costco is if you look on the package it is from Austrailia or the S. American country that raises so much beef, I'm thinking Venezuela. Not the US

And you're sure it's beef...

Can't possibly "like" this post. It's a good sign that it's ok to wait a month for the echo, not like they're rushing into anything. You're still in my prayers Patrick.

Dammit Pat, I can't any pray harder fer ya than I am!

I thought you posted that that procedure was not plausible due to your past surgeries. Nonetheless, we won't give up as long as you don't!!! Ever so much am humbled by your challenges and resiliency...

Bless you and your devoted bride!




Perfect location fer a bear/bare hug!




Yepper, sure gonna let Bill Maher be my political guide and councilor...

Well they could do heart surgery because your heart isn't doing anything while they operate. The machine does it all but doing a revision on my stomach is another matter. The doc who amputated my legs I think would do it for me with Medicare. He wants to talk to me. Gonna call me but he is in Rapid City now. He does bariatric and other surgeries and is excellent and really cares. I sure wish he was still here. The bariatric surgeons here won't even talk to you if you have Medicare. The problem with the heart surgery is it is a lot of trauma for your heart to undergo and your chances go down if you have had previous OHS. I'm sure I would have to go to the UW Med Cntr. The Mitral valve they usually try to sort of repair. They put a ring in it so it opens well. The whole thing is really complicated. Your heart is an amazing machine when its working right.

They don't want to do the echo till then because Medicare might not pay it if it has been less then a year.

Ain't it the truth we started getting Costco organic hamburger and it is like hamburger used to be. We got so sick of paying high prices and getting stuff that doesn't taste like beef why not spend a little more and get something good.
been wishing for years we had a costco near us.......newp, they put in a second Sam's 20 minutes away.

You know the funny thing about that hamburger from Costco is if you look on the package it is from Austrailia or the S. American country that raises so much beef, I'm thinking Venezuela. Not the US

I have a pee-poor attitude today...not feelin civil at all...

it'll pass tho...NBD....:)

gonna go in my cave now....

So a self-appointed moderator. Someone who can't be up front & address the rules, but has to hide & point fingers & whisper.

Jup I can only hope it was an outsider strolling through. Pretty tacky if someone here reported it.

Kenna et al, please tread lightly here! No heavy hands required. Cindy is an honest broker, especially when it comes to the porches. Don't punish the messenger. Just hoping for a definitive, non-BS answer as to Matt's post disappearance.

Besides, we do need to know our 'boundaries', who can establish 'em and why.

Later...

I wasn't aiming that at Classy! Classy is always wonderful about these things. I was taking direct aim at whoever thinks they should be the boss of the Porches but is too (looks around for Mama) chicken to just come out & say something. We are good people here. We can take it when we get out of hand & need to be reminded. It's the sneaky part that was out of line. Be up front & out front before you hit that button.

And you're sure it's beef...

I'm with Janet in wondering if it's really beef. That's odd.
Some facts:

The Australian governmental standards for beef are more stringent than the US governmental standards. I don't know about South America.

Australian cattle are grass fed, which is the natural diet for cows. US beef cattle are grain fed and are given large doses of antibiotics to deal with the digestive tract infections that come with this unnatural (for cows) diet. The antibiotics are not needed for grass fed cows.

McDonald's is the largest buyer of US beef. Surprisingly, the US cannot supply enough beef which meets McDonald's requirements for leanness, so McDonald's buys some of their beef from Australia to make burgers for the US market. McDonald's in countries overseas buys a much larger proportion of Australian beef.

Thanks Google!
